- Committee on Drugs Use: A Health-Led Approach: Discussion (Resumed) (3 Oct 2024)
Thomas Gould: I thank the witnesses for attending. On decriminalisation, Mr. Mullins pointed out that the middle class will probably get the benefit of it, whereas for people who are working class or come from disadvantaged areas, it might make no difference, and that made sense. We are looking to make a change here on foot of the citizens' assembly. The war on drugs has not worked. Everyone knows that...
