The UK government may be lying about drugs in order to control the laws surrounding them, if claims from former deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg are anything to go by, reports Dazed Digital.
Clegg told The Guardian newspaper that Home Secretary Theresa May altered a 2014 drugs report that called for global law reform because she “didn’t like the conclusions,” which apparently found no link between harsh drug laws and illegal drug use.
The report, Drugs: International Comparators didn’t find “any obvious relationship between the toughness of a country’s enforcement against drug possession, and levels of drug use”.

Data from Portugal features in the report, where drugs have been legal since 2001.
Clegg claims that May deleted sentences from the original report, in a bid to prevent discussion to change drug legislation.
He alleges that May stressed that so long as she led the Home Office, there would be no drug reform whatsoever.
