What would be the point in the decriminalisation of any drug. If it was decided 10 or 20 years ago they were bad why ignore them now just because worse ones have come along.

I guess we are too soft on those we catch with them. Maybe if those caught with even a small amount received a massive penalty by the courts (I know it is never going to happen) then it would deter taking drugs which in turn would help with all the other problems with drug taking.
What your proposing would just lead to more people wanting to try drugs and there would be more black-market "dangerous" cut drugs on the underground - more deaths and more crime. Surely the way forward is to be more open about drug use. Also it's a fact more people are made junkies in Prison that outside - this is a fact. Heroine is available in prisons and many people become heroine addicts in prison!



I came across this video and I wonder if perhaps it's Cashman
