One hundred years ago I could quite legally have gone to a pharmacy and purchased laudanum, and I probably would have gone through plenty of it. Now, I am only allowed alcohol and nicotine and there are plenty of voices that want to stop me from taking the nicotine.
My friends that take controlled substances would never touch heroine, the one that did is dead. My issue is that total prohibition results in the supply being dubious and people being ignorant of how to minimise risk.
Have you ever broken a speed limit when driving? What is the difference between that and the consumption of controlled substances?
But back to the original topic of this thread, yes the bloke is an idiot for drawing attention to himself but I don't suppose that he is in any position to hire someone like Max Clifford to advise him how to handle the situation.
