The idea
Alcohol, and tobacco, are both currently legal high type drugs, and are both scientifically proven to be not only dangerous to health, but are also highly addictive drug.
The legal authority to sell these drugs needs to be removed, and they need to be added to the list of drugs covered by the new emergency drug control 'Temporary 1 year ban whilst it is investigated' legislation.
Why is it important?
When Alcohol and tobacco take their rightful place under the Misuse of Drugs Act, we will be in a positon where the government will be put under pressure to ensure the recomendations of the worlds top medical and law experts are listened to, and then develop an alternative policy where the supply of all drugs are controlled, to provide a system that will actually reduce drug use, crack down on drug related crime and disorder and help addicts come off drugs for good.
