Mr Asquith... you have no idea what you re talking about

Why not legalise drugs which will get rid of the organised crime aspect, make drugs purer and safer and give the government plenty of tax revenue.

The biggest problem with drugs is ignorance, which is plentiful in Malta.

The DRUGS WAR must not cease for a split second. Our Country is already overflooded with every conceivable type of Drug.The Drug OverLords and their cohorts are squeezing blood money from the veins of their victims.Parents find themselves stretched beyond redemption once they become aware that their children have been turned into Drug Victims.The Law is harsh....the State must make it harsher...the Police must be more vigilant and yield more results.Once again,well done for this Drug Catch.Do not relent as many fishes are still on the run and still safely swimming comfortably in their murky waters!
