The drug problems are real ... they have to be dealt with somehow ... if the present system were working, then, no problem, "if it aint broke, don't fix it." But it so obviously is broke.
At least you haven't blamed "thirteen years of labour misrule"   |
Drug abuse and addiction starts somewhere, I wouldn't think for a minute that somebody snorting cocaine for the first time thinks wow this is great I'm going to become and addict and it'll cost me £100s of pounds a week to fuel my addiction, its the same with any drug. I can honestly say I've never taken any illegal drugs either tabs smoking or otherwise, fags and beer were enough for me, I gave up fags the first time a doc, mentioned I should cut down (not stop) that was 32 years ago, I don't drink these days, save a bottle of wine at weekends, oh yes and Labour did sod all to help stop drug abuse
