(Questions 12 to 15)<br />

Two years ago Scott Douglas passed away on accounts of a heroin overdose. Why, then, is his father, who is a<br />

staunch opponent of drugs, calling for all drugs to be legalised?<br />

"Legalize, don't criminalize" is Howard Douglas' motto. He insists the only way to control drugs is to regulate their<br />

sale. "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<br />

would be if "a government minister's son or a member of the royal family dies from drug abuse".<br />

After Scott's death, Mr Douglas became deeply involved in the debate and was able to understand why many young<br />

people turn to drugs. "I met a lot of Scott's associates and they had one thing in common - they couldn't get to grips with the<br />
