Green Party Leader Zack Polanski Proposes Legalising Class A Drugs Including Heroin and Cocaine Across Britain to Regulate Supply and Reduce Harm

The Green Party is stirring up serious debate with a newly revealed policy proposal that calls for the legalisation of drugs including heroin, crack cocaine, MDMA, ketamine, and even GHB for recreational use.

Party leader Zack Polanski says the aim is to “enhance human relationships” and believes that adults should have the right to make informed choices about their own drug consumption.

The controversial policy comes alongside calls for stricter controls on alcohol and tobacco, including higher taxes, suggesting a dual approach of regulation and personal freedom.

Direct Partnerships With South American Coca Producers

One of the most eyebrow-raising elements in the plan is a proposed “direct partnership” between the UK government and coca farming co-operatives in South America.

The Green Party wants to ensure a “sustainable supply of coca and cocaine” for Britain, aiming to create legal avenues for products that would otherwise remain in the black market.

The plan also envisions cocaine-infused drinks sold in shops and recreational drugs available at music festivals and nightclubs under regulated conditions.

Children to Receive Drug Education From Primary School

The policy goes further, recommending that Personal, Social and Health Education (PHSE) lessons start teaching children about safe drug use from primary school.

The Greens argue this would “enhance the safety of all who use drugs” and prepare young people to make informed choices if they encounter substances.

Crack Cocaine and Meth on Prescription

In a surprising twist, the document suggests making crack cocaine and methamphetamine available through NHS prescription under certain conditions, alongside licensed Cannabis Social Clubs.

Green sources stress that these measures would be tightly regulated and not part of the party’s costed manifesto, but they mark a long-term ambition for the party.

Labour Hits Back, Polls Show Rising Green Support

Labour Party has slammed the proposals, warning that it could turn playgrounds into “crack dens” and lead to a surge in anti-social behaviour.

Crime and Policing Minister Sarah Jones called it “deeply irresponsible” and warned of lives shattered by legalising dangerous substances.

Despite the criticism, recent polls suggest the Greens are performing strongly ahead of the Gorton and Denton by-election, with 22 per cent of voters saying they would vote Green compared with 18 per cent for Labour.

Many remain undecided, and both Labour and Reform UK are downplaying the findings.

Mixed Reactions Within the Party and Public

While the policy includes support for drug treatment centres and harm reduction measures, the proposed legalisation of Class A drugs remains deeply controversial.

Zack Polanski has defended the policy, accusing Labour of spreading “desperate lies” and saying the party’s focus is on preventing children from accessing drugs and reducing overall harm.

Political Broadcast Sparks Criticism

In another turn, Zack Polanski was mocked for a political broadcast in which he appeared in a 1950s-style working-class living room, hoping viewers “enjoy Corrie.”

Critics, including former Labour MP Simon Danczuk, labelled the ad patronising and out of touch, suggesting voters are more concerned about the party’s drug policy than its retro aesthetics.

What’s Next?

The Greens are likely to defend the proposals in the run-up to the Gorton and Denton by-election on February 26, 2026.

Polls indicate a tight race, and the party will need to clarify its approach to regulation, safety, and public health to sway undecided voters.

Meanwhile, Labour will continue to campaign against the legalisation plans, framing them as a threat to community safety.

The debate over recreational drugs in Britain is set to intensify, with potential nationwide implications if the Greens gain power or influence.

Summary

The Green Party, led by Zack Polanski, has revealed plans to legalise Class A drugs including heroin, crack cocaine, ketamine, MDMA, and GHB, while creating regulated supply chains and educating children about safe use.

Critics, including Sarah Jones and Labour Party, warn of public harm and social consequences.

The policy coincides with rising Green support in the upcoming Gorton and Denton by-election and has sparked intense debate over drug legislation, public safety, and the party’s political strategy.
