Health experts call for illegal drug use and possession to be decriminalised The “war on drugs” has failed in terms of public health and drug use should be decriminalised, two leading organisations have said.

While the bodies still support criminal charges for people who deal drugs, they said users should instead be referred for treatment and help. The Independent
