Drugs policy and the death of reason

"It is the punishment of the wise, who refuse to take part in government, to live under the government of worse men." Plato said that. I always found it rather charming. Presumably Professor Nutt and his colleagues at the Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs (ACMD) are mulling similar thoughts today, after the home secretary sacked its chief, and watched his colleagues resign in protest over the weekend.

A great read on The government's backwards drug policies, and the general backwardness of the government themselves.

    • Hmmm bit late on the news but its still a really interesting story. It makes you wonder exactly how long the government can continue to ignore intellectual's advise, especially on a sensitive subject such as drugs policy.

      Bring on the revolution...
