If recreational drugs were legalised then the quality would be higher and less accidental deaths and criminal gangs would go out of business over night. Why is it acceptable to allow people to drink alcohol and smoke tobacco legally and other drugs now illegal remain so. Surely if someone wants to take drugs then it's their body and their choice!? |

Perhaps, as some have been suggesting by bringing in the "common sense" argument, it is not the drug that is so much the problem as the people involved with it. Maybe it's not so much common sense as it is self-control, and an awareness of what one is getting into, and where it could lead. Alcohol is legal because the govt. makes a shltload of money out of it. Same with smokes. If they could come up with a sure fire way of making money off weed, they would be in there like a dirty shirt. |

Also most Heroine abuse is with people who come from socially dysfunctional backgrounds. So the whole illegal Heroine/Smack/Methadone scene is based largely on social dysfunction.:alright: |
Re: Legalise "Illegal" Drugs?
So, if the UK Government legalised Cannabis, Cocaine, LSD, Ecstasy etc.. Where would we get the raw material form.
We don't have any coca fields in the UK and as for huge amounts of Cannabis, maybe have to pop down to Morocco. So our government would have to buy the stuff Illegally off the cartels. If legalisation was the way forward, it would require a large amount of foreign governments to legaise it as well as us. |

I think some people are vunerable to certain addictions, certain drugs-alcohol and tobacco for a start. If you make even more drugs legal, common sense and self control won't always work- you'll have more and more people addicted to more and more drugs. As for the 'load of money'-rest assured some cynical so and so in Government or the civil service has already thought of it-'if fools will pay £6 for a bit of tobacco,how much could we raise on weed?'. |
Re: Legalise "Illegal" Drugs?
And seeing that a Heroin addiction can cost £100 per day, a Gram of Cocaine £50.00, Cannabis resin at £50.00 per ounce, you have to become a thief to afford it.

Someone tell me again why British, US and other Nato troops are dying on a daily basis protecting the opium poppy fields in Afghanistan, production has risen over 500% since the occupation and most of the refined product ends up in the 'west' . Seems to me if our Govts. were serious about the 'drug problem' the poppy fields would have been napalmed and replanted to grow food .
If anyone thinks hard drugs are just a pleasant way of passing a few hours suggest you visit the city near to where I live (Oakland Ca.) and see how the effects of Cocaine/crack has devastated the place. |

Thought Oakland was OK when I went there. Maybe I went to the wrong part...or the right part, depending on your point of view!
