War on drugs surrenders to political correctness

Something is seriously wrong when you can’t investigate Vietnamese drug gangs because it could be classed as racist.

Vietnamese drugs barons control 75% of the cannabis production in this country so it would be common sense to put your resources into catching these people. Unfortunately in today’s world common sense doesn’t play a part.

Going easy on drug addicts is also the way to go these days. Junkies are being offered rounds of golf at the taxpayers' expense under a drugs rehabilitation programme.

Drug users have been kitted out with free shoes, gloves and clubs through the Drugs Intervention Programme (DIP). That’s only happening in Hartlepool though. In the rest of the country cocaine and heroin addicts on a government treatment programme are being offered extra drugs as a reward for good behaviour which costs £500m a year.

Gordon Brown inconsistent on drugs policy

Gordon Brown seems to be a bit inconsistent lately when it comes to drug policy. Last month it was announced that he was considering whether to reclassify cannabis to a class B drug. You would think if this happened that a lot of people might want to go rehab so they don’t break the law but Gordon Brown doesn’t think so. He decided to cut the drug rehab budget by £50 million.

Those that go to prison who have a drug habit will be glad to know that the prisons are having a budget cut too so the prison have decided to scrap cell checks to search for weapons and drugs. Prison officers have said that this could create no go areas for the prison officers because the amount of drugs and weapons in circulation inside would soar. The service is also considering cutting back on the use of voluntary and mandatory drug-testing so you will b able to take drugs without anyone stopping you, especially not even the prison officers who don’t have to enter your cell if you smoke it..
