Police: Stopping drug trade impossible

Jul 31, 2013

Copenhagen Police said that the market for illegal drugs is so strong that no matter how many pushers and dealers they arrest, more will take their places in a matter of minutes. “As long as there are buyers, there will also be sellers,” Jørgen Skov, a police spokesperson, told TV2 News. Skov said that the drug problem needed to be addressed from the health angle as well as the enforcement side because drugs can lead to psychosis and there is a risk that so-called ‘softer’ drugs like marijuana can lead to harder drugs. He said that whenever cops close down one drug market, another pops up nearby. – TV2 News
