This is important because it could be that the reason for all drug control is simply commercial competition. We should listen to everyone's experience with drugs, the users, the profiteers, the scientists and all medical specialists including those outside of established bodies of opinion.

Of course, nobody should be above the law, and if a crime has been committed then anyone (including addicts) must be subject to the usual criminal justice system. If an addict requires criminal detention, they may also require immediate medical assistance for withdrawal (hence within 24 hours). Overall, it's important for addicts to be committed to any rehabilitation programme and not to feed impulsive behaviour. The DAS and education about drugs is of paramount importance for our generation. It may not be a glamorous topic to discuss, but one which I'm delighted to see more debate about.
