A way forward

It has been suggested by Stephen Rolles, senior policy analyst  and published in the British Medical Journal   Published 13 July 2010, that the way forward is legalization and this is his idea, I totally agree with him :

Five basic models for regulating drug availability Medical prescription model or supervised venues—For highest risk drugs (injected drugs including heroin and more potent stimulants such as methamphetamine) and problematic users Specialist pharmacist retail model—combined with named/licensed user access and rationing of volume of sales for moderate risk drugs such as amphetamine, powder cocaine, and methylenedioxymethamphetamine (ecstasy) Licensed retailing—including tiers of regulation appropriate to product risk and local needs. Used for lower risk drugs and preparations such as lower strength stimulant based drinks Licensed premises for sale and consumption—similar to licensed alcohol venues and Dutch cannabis "coffee shops,"potentially also for smoking opium or poppy tea Unlicensed sales—minimal regulation for the least risky products, such as caffeine drinks and coca tea.
