Psychoactive Substances Bill [Lords]

Proceeding contribution from Paul Flynn (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 19 October 2015. It occurred during Debate on bills on Psychoactive Substances Bill [Lords].

The European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction in Lisbon has reported that the lifetime use of these substances in Ireland before the ban was 16%, but that four years after the ban it had increased to 22%. Is it not true that almost every drug ban has resulted in an increase in usage?
