Committee on Drugs Use

Decriminalisation, Depenalisation, Diversion and Legalisation: Discussion (Resumed)

9:30 am

Mr. António Manuel Leitão da Silva:

It is not. The police force claims there are much better ways to tackle and fight drug dealing on a large scale. Drug users are not an issue for the police any more. They are good sources of information but they are not police-critical and there is no outcry from police forces to recriminalise very low-level drug use.
