Cocaine: Britain's Open Secret

London's cocaine market is now worth an estimated £1bn a year after new tests revealed people in the capital take an average of 23 kilos of the Class A drug every day.
More than half a million doses of cocaine, with an estimated street value of £2.75m, are being consumed in London on average each day - twice the amount of any other European city, according to a study seen exclusively by Sky News.

All drugs should be decriminalized here in the UK so that we can tax, profit and put the money to good use - not to mention its a basic freedom of choice that we have been denied for far too long. I don't even do any drugs myself but I know enough who do and I can safely say this should be a government regulated industry to maximise safety of consumption and the benefits of the economy behind it.
