    Taking drugs is not an offense in and off itself.

    Being gay is illegal in many countries, that doesn't mean it's not a human right.

    Good job the government disagrees with you.

    You can get a fine or prison sentence if you:
    • take drugs
    • carry drugs
    • make drugs
    • sell, deal or share drugs (also called ‘supplying’ them)

    The penalties depend on the type of drug or substance, the amount you have, and whether you’re also dealing or producing it.
    As it is technically illegal then stopping it happen under medical supervision cannot be against anyone's human rights. do try to make a case for illicit drug taking though. Next stop Islington!

    Lets stick to this country shall we? Marrying 9 year olds was legal until recently in Sudan and rape in marriage is legal in many other countries so yes the world is fecked!

      Good job you're not a lawyer. Possession and consuming/taking are not the same. A summary designed for mass consumption of frankly, ignorant people, is not substitute for actual law. Consumption of drugs is only offence when it is in connection with something else, like driving.

      Firstly, I said I think exploration of one's consciousness through the use of drugs to be a human right, not that it is.

      Secondly, your reasoning is absurd. 'It's not against your human rights because we made a law that says it isn't' is legally nonsensical, in this country.

        So oh genius, as the charge is possession how precisely do you voluntarily take drugs without possessing them? As the gov site says taking. I think you are confused with possessing class C drugs for personal use is not an offence.

        Being unfit to drive is a separate offence as you say.

        Your reasoning is worse, its against my human rights to insist I comply with the law of the land, its my Yuman rights to smoke pot to find myself.

          Prove it. 'We think you're high so you must have been in possession of weed at some point' isn't how the law works.

          Again, I am not asserting what is and isn't a human right.


          I'm going to bow out and you seem incapable of actually reading what is being written and fixated in building strawmen.
