UK. Government plans to criminalise all drug users - Swift, Certain, Tough

The Home Office has just published a white paper dedicated to the one issue in the new 10 year drug strategy which has generated the most media interest – reducing demand for drugs by introducing new “consequences” for the possession of recreational drugs.
