Ecstasy is safer than aspirin, Richard Brunstrom, the Chief Constable of North Wales Police, has said.
Speaking on the Today programme on BBC Radio 4 yesterday, Mr Brunstrom repeated his call for the legalisation of drugs. “There’s a lot of scaremongering and rumour-mongering about Ecstasy in particular,” he said. “It isn’t borne out by the evidence. Ecstasy is a remarkably safe substance, far safer than aspirin. It is far less dangerous than tobacco or alcohol.”
He added: “The prohibition regime does not work. It transfers billions of pounds of our money into the hands of organised criminals.”
