He makes some good points but I'm not sure he's the best messenger

| Pablo Escobar’s top hitman has called on Theresa May to legalise cocaine and help prevent thousands of drug deaths in Britain.
John Jairo Velásquez, also known as ‘Popeye’, argued that the white powder should be dished out in pharmacies where it would be regulated and clean.
The once-feared assassin said cocaine in its purest form and in small doses is no more of a danger to health than fatty food or fizzy drinks.
Nearly 4,000 people in Britain died in 2015 after being poisoned by drugs sold on the streets.
The figure includes hundreds who fatally snuffed cocaine mixed with toxic ingredients including clothes detergent and horse tranquiliser.
Velásquez made the appeal to save lives despite a past in which he shot dead more than 300 people for drug lord Pablo Escobar. He is linked to nearly 1,000 murders. |
