Committee on Drugs Use
Citizens' Assembly on Drugs Use: Discussion
9:30 am
Mr. Paul Reid:
The best guidance is that we are very clear that it is not the current system. We need to shift two legs ahead of it, decriminalise people, stop the stigma that is going on and paradigm shift out from a criminal-led system to a health-led system. We need to get it out and not have a hybrid.
