Legalise, Regulate and Tax all Recreational Drugs

Petition Details

Reform laws regarding currently controlled drugs to legalise, regulate and tax these, in a similar way to alcohol. Revenue from sales could fund early intervention for substance abusers through the NHS.

Additional Information

We believe the 'war on drugs' has been an abject failure. The vast sums spent on arrests, convictions and imprisonment of those related to the illegal drug trade and use can be better used, and supplemented with taxation, to treat the cause of the problem.

A regulated market could also enable a better understanding of drug use, which could help inform treatment and interventions by the NHS.
