".
It is debatable whether the illegal cultivation of poppies can be switched to industrial production of medicinal products, but it may be worth trying. What is certain is that the US policy towards Afghanistan and the EU's lack of action on increased opium production have exacerbated the problem.
A forward-looking drugs policy must be based on effective smashing of drug rings, instant deportation of foreign drug dealers and the adoption of targeted priority actions, along with the provision of better treatment services for drug users. There are increasingly vocal calls for the legalisation or liberalisation of drugs, but even in Switzerland, after almost 15 years of handing out heroin, hopes that this would help addicts overcome their addiction have finally been dashed. The report before us leans heavily towards liberalisation, and I have therefore voted against it."@en1
