Ecstasy 'safer than aspirin'

What a buffoon.

KILLER drug ecstasy is safer than ASPIRIN, top cop Richard Brunstrom claimed yesterday.

He also repeated his call for Class A substances like heroin and cocaine to be LEGALISED.

The North Wales chief const-able claimed such a move was “inevitable” — and could happen in 10 years.

About 400 people in the UK have died from ecstasy since 1994.

But Mr Brunstrom, known for targeting speeding drivers, called it a “remarkably safe substance, far safer than aspirin”.

The maverick cop told the BBC: “There is a lot of scaremongering, rumourmongering around ecstasy.

“It isn’t borne out by the evidence.

“Ecstasy is not a safe substance and I’m not suggesting that it is.

“But it is much less dangerous than, for instance, tobacco and alcohol.”
