Reply to: Have you ever taken drugs?

I don't know that. I might have tried things if they were legal and I wasn't scared a)of who I had to buy them off b)the crap mixed in

Their illegality certainly is a factor why I haven't used anything.

This is why I would like to see criminals taken out of the supply chain.

Your dealer is normally a very charming chap but if you start to think about what has happened to get that coke to you, who was involved and what they were like, you start to feel rather less happy.

So many of us have taken them at some point one can only hope that during this century people will come around to the view that prohibition does not stop anyone that wants to take drugs from taking them and worse

So many of us have taken them at some point one can only hope that during this century people will come around to the view that prohibition does not stop anyone that wants to take drugs from taking them and worse, makes the supply lucrative business for criminals. (I think that but I know that many other views).

Which does make one wonder why they can't be decriminalised and taxed. Not all of them obviously, because some of them are very bad for you, but certainly it ought to be considered for the ones that are pound for pound no more harmful than booze or fags.

The only worry for me would be about what the criminals would have to do instead and I think that is the reason why the status-quo continues.

Well, legalising some less harmful drugs would create legal jobs in production and distribution in the UK.

If you are arguing in favour of legalising drugs, then I agree 100%.

The bastard Septics won't let us though.

I've never done any drugs except alcohol but I do think that makes me a bit boring.

Exactly ... why are alcohol and nicotine missing? Or are we only talking 'street' drugs?

Only illegal stuff.

You have to draw the line somewhere. If I had broadened the scope to include alcohol and nicotine then someone would be asking about caffeine, paracetamol, ibuprofen, cough mixture, immodium, viagra and so on.

I used my agw model, some tree rings and I hid the decline. then I made the assumption that the andyw option meant no i dont bother

I think I've spotted the flaw in your analysis.

I reckon you'd have to be on drugs to do AndyW from behind.

I nearly selected that one cos I had an Archers and Southern Comfort in the same drink once.

Yup, and that one where you put hairspray in a bin and stick your head in, or something.

Or just sniff the bin itself.
