OXFORD: An Oxford-based think tank is calling for the Government to change its policy on drugs.
The Beckley Foundation, based at Beckley Park, near Marston, has written to the Government to call for its approach to move away from criminalisation.
It said putting resources into health and harm-reduction would be more cost-effective.
The letter says: “Evidence consistently shows that these health-based approaches deliver better results than criminalisation.”
