A reflection on Chris Davies' drugs policy by Simon Davey, as appearing in 'Liberator' Sept 2005.
I write to you in the wake of comments by Chris Davies, Member of the European Parliament for the north-west of England and the former Scottish Procurator Fiscal David Hingston, who have called for all drugs to be legalised.
