They just wouldn't listen. If they are in a mind to do it they think they are immortal anyway.

You know what Gordon, if fools want to risk their lives with illicit drugs, well that's life.
I have absolutely no sympathy with any so called Illicit drug overdose/poisoning 'victim'.
You are in charge of your own destiny, if you are too stupid not to inject,take substances or even inhale things that you have obtained off 'some bloke in the street etc' then that's your own lookout.

There are many people who are victims of the illicit drugs trade, it's about time society bothered about them instead

Perhaps to try n drive others away?:rolleyes:

Re: Legalise "Illegal" Drugs?
 

If you think legalizing drugs will remove "the cloak and dagger element" your dafter than i thought, is alcohol not legally sold ? it still doesn't stop "the cloak and dagger element" making dodgy spirits etc and trying to sell them to the public for example Dodgy vodka could cause blindness - Local News - Hastings and St. Leonards Observer which is one of many cases if you look for them so legalized goods are still under scrutiny from "the cloak and dagger element" for the sake of a quick buck :rolleyes:;)barba crescit caput nescit for some folk:D

True, susie. I was told when I was a lad driving like a mad thing might be bad for my health. I knew it couldn't happen to me so I carried on
And it never did happen-well, just the once and it wasn't my fault, honest.

Ya he won't be happy until the lights go out on accy web, we've already lost a few members, good members too:mad:

Aspartame is something that I often look for in drinks. It's mention in this thread is out of place(it's a replacement for sugar not a stupid drug that makes you dance to crap music and hug people) I agree with what I have read about it, and the dangers apparently associated with it I certainly do not want to be drinking it. Was also reading that there is evidence that when a woman is pregnant and consumes a lot of it the chances of birth defects rises

Re: Legalise "Illegal" Drugs?
 

Really ? You don't seriously believe that do you ? Let's say for arguments sake drugs are legalized, government would demand a heavy levy in taxes, same as with ciggies & booze. So what does Joe & Josephina Public do, speak to the fella down the market / Pub who's bringing in kit from the "continent" because it's cheaper & there's a willing market, plus he's making a tidy profit. So his profit margin is maximized guess what he'll do, yep, cut it with other she-ite !

Druggies keeling over & dying up some filthy squatt, backstreet or even some penthouse because they wanted their fix on the cheap & someone was out to make a profit ! Where's the difference ? Drugs are illegal for a reason & that my friend is the B-all & End-all of it.

I am immortal. I was there at the Big Bang. I will be there at the Big Crunch (if there is one).:dancedog::D Matter can be neither created nor destroyed. Energy can be neither created nor destroyed.;) But I don't seem to have much energy right now; must be the joint I smoked.:)

But it really doesn't matter whether or not drugs are legal or illegal in the developed world. There will never be any shortage. Anyone who wants them can get them ... and there are no licensing hours:D Unless you are mickeymousing grams, chances of getting busted are pretty slim. The poor sods I feel sorry for are the ones living in Central and South America in the middle of the unwinnable WAR ON DRUGS. So a few thousand innocent folks die every year just so that western political leaders can look and sound good ... who really gives a damn, eh.

Re: Legalise "Illegal" Drugs?
 

I don't know the answer but I suspect that de-criminalising drugs (with appropriate supply & treatment regimes) could reduce the harm they cause to users and to the rest of society.

Personally I would like to have guilt-free cannabis as an option to some of the pain killers the medics dish out.

I refer you to post 1330, by a donkey

Re: Legalise "Illegal" Drugs?
 

#1330 - Let's say for arguments sake drugs are legalized, government would demand a heavy levy in taxes.

You are assuming this to be correct with no evidence and ignoring my caveat about appropriate supply & treatment regimes?
