The Argus in Brighton allows Martin Barnes, from DrugScope, the opportunity to make the case for a comprehensive drug strategy:
“As our annual street drug trends survey has shown, the price of many illicit drugs has fallen over recent years and heroin is no exception.
“Under the new drug strategy, there needs to be continued investment in drug treatment and an improvement in its efficacy, enabling more people to lead productive, ultimately drug-free lives.
“More resources are also needed to fund drug education and prevention work with young people, aiming to reduce the numbers of people who use or become dependent on drugs.”
