Sensible attitude to drug?

[NetwkSupport]

Ok so we have established that illegal or legal, your not going to stop people excercising their free will, if they want to take drugs let them.

Keep it illegal and the drug industry is run by criminals, where does that money go??? crime, terrorism, etc...

Legalise it and there criminals will be out of the loop? as it will be run by the goverment....hmm...goverment

Grew up in Singapore where drugs = death!

Evening having it in your blood stream means jail terms.

Did stop the majority of users …. Eventually.

The only issue with legalising it that I can see is that there will be a need for more money spent on the ‘adverse’ effects that some/all drugs have. Money will come from sales but there will be a bloody great public out cry.

Plus how many deaths related to the legislation? Any Gvt that allows this will have it bite them in the ar*e with the initial fall out of people overdoing it because it is legal. Imagine lowering the drinking age to 16. How many kids would get themselves into a state and getting themselves killed?

You all seem to equate legalising with making freely available. It doesnt have to be like that.

I am not suggesting being able to buy a pint and a wrap or a packet of fags and a couple of rocks (though for some drugs that might be OK), I am suggesting making drugs available from official sources. I would put restrictions in place on who can get them. Shooting galaries where users can go to aquire and use drugs.

Due to the illegal nature of drugs it is not possible to supply addicts in an official way. Addicts are driven into the hands of criminals and we all see the consequences.

A sensible attitude to drugs:-

Shoot the addicts.

Wipe them off the face of the planet.

Problem solved.

I was hoping we'd get through today without mentioning animal erections, but alas...
