REGULATING DRUGS

Sir, Despite the Government's claims to the contrary, its slide towards 
effective legalisation of cannabis may now be unstoppable. Even if the law 
can't sustain a deterrent to drug-taking, we need not renounce all forms of 
disincentive. Legalisation could be made subject to licence for 
individuals, with the public given access to the licensing records. 
Employers and others would then be able to exercise their own judgment in 
their relations with drug-takers.

Yours sincerely,

J. G. RISELEY
