http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/4644595.stmPolicies designed to cut the supply of illicit drugs into the UK since the early 1990s have had no significant impact, a government report has said.
The study, by the prime minister's strategy unit, was shown to Cabinet ministers two years ago.
The section referring to drugs supply had been withheld from publication, but has been leaked to BBC News.
It says drug seizure rates need to rise from under 20% currently to 60-80% to put major suppliers out of business.
Overall, the report paints a dismal picture of efforts to thwart the production and supply of drugs and suggests little can be done. Can't say I'm suprised by this report... Poeple have taken drugs for thousands of years; they're not gonna stop takin' 'em just 'cos they're illegal. When will the politicians learn? How about just legalising 'em?
