Catalan Interior chief, Joan Saura, believes it is the best way of fighting drug traffickingThe head of the Catalan government’s Interior Department,
Joan Saura, has proposed legalising all forms of drugs as a way of fighting drug trafficking and its associated illnesses.
Speaking in an interview with the TV3 television station, the leader of the ICV party was asked if he supported legalising the consumption of cannabis: he responded, ‘All drugs should be made legal. It’s something I’ve always defended.’
He explained that legalisation does not mean being in favour of drug-taking itself, but that it should form part of a series of measures to put an end to drug trafficking. Saura added that partial prohibition is not the best way to dissuade people from taking drugs.
