Two years ago Scott Douglas died of a heroin overdose. Why, then, is his father, who is a staunch opponent of drugs, calling for all drugs to be legalised?
"Legalise, don't criminalise" is Howard Douglas' motto. He insists the only way to control drugs is to regulate the sale of them. "I don't want a soft line on drugs. I wish to God that people wouldn't use them. But they do, and so we need to put some order into the market."
He firmly believes that his son would still be alive today if heroin had been legal. Scott Douglas was 33 when he died two years ago. A long-time heroin user, he was forced to do without the drug during a five-week prison term. He was killed by his first dose after being released.
Inquiry into Scott's death found that because he had been without the drug for several weeks, his body could not take his normal dose. It also revealed that his final shot contained an impurity - urine acetylcodeine. "If there had been a controlled environment for my son to take his heroin, and it had been supplied legally, he would still be alive. There are two policy options: you can legalise and regulate the supply, as you do with other drugs such as alcohol and tobacco, or you can leave criminals to control everything."
