Clegg urges new drugs approach during visit to Colombia
"The UK should abandon its current drugs policy because the war on drugs is not being won, Nick Clegg has said.
Speaking on a visit to Colombia, the deputy prime minister said different approaches were needed although he did not back full legalisation.
The Lib Dem leader said his party would publish a report on an alternative strategy later this year.
The Home Office said there was no need to review Britain's drug laws, pointing out that illegal drug use is falling.
BBC home editor Mark Easton said Mr Clegg had long argued that current UK drugs policy is not working."
