In Ireland, the discussion around drugs has gained much attention following the recent gang-related shootings in Dublin. Due to the ever increasing demand for drugs and the current criminal supply, drugs and crime are inevitably linked.
As long as people want to consume something illegal, then criminals will control the market. As a society we must be brave to protect our communities from violent crime and at a minimum we should invest resources into serious crime and away from minor drug possession.
We must be realistic in our goals to reduce the harms of drugs and this begins with innovative policy.
