Madam, – Might I suggest that if the Minister for Justice wishes to regulate the use of psychotropic drugs as laid down by the United Nations (Deaglán de Bréadún, Front page, May 4th) surely, in order to be non-discriminatory, he should apply the law to include bars and off licences? The UN definition covers drugs producing “central nervous system stimulation or depression, resulting in hallucinations or disturbances in motor functioning or thinking or behaviour or perception or mood.”
It is important that the Minister is not only non-discriminatory against young people, but is seen to be so. – Yours, etc,
