MP suggests decriminalising hard drugs
By Andy Whelan
***Begin Quote***
Brighton Kemptown MP Des Turner has called for hard drugs to be legalised.
The Labour MP spoke out after an investigation by The Argus lifted the lid on street dealing in Brighton and Hove.
Reporter Andy Whelan bought heroin from a man in one of Hove’s main shopping streets. And it took him just 26 minutes to obtain the drug.
Dr Turner’s comments come after details of yet another young victim of the city’s heroin trade were revealed.
An inquest into the death of Tania Meires heard that heroin in Brighton was so pure that injecting it was like “playing Russian roulette every time”.

I’m against drug addiction. But, it’s a MEDICAL problem.
Passing laws against it is as effective as passing a law repealing gravity.
How stupid are we?
How many children must die? How many lives ruined? How many unintended consequences have to be endured?
Laws don’t change behaviors. They just raise and shift the costs!
We, in effect, have a random death sentence for drug experimentation.
How stupid are we?
