Former cops have welcomed Scotland’s call for a UK wide reform of drug laws.
Simon McLean and Ian Andrew claim the Scottish Government’s new blueprint for decriminalisation could save lives and eventually scupper organised crime gangs that control the massive flow of drugs.
The ex-officers, now spokesmen for the Law Enforcement Action Partnership have stressed that Scotland must have a “Plan B” to bring in as many health-based interventions in drug policy as possible, even if Westminster says it will not support them.
