Finally, govt to make us all happy!

I'm sure they thought the same thing about tobacco at one point.
So you'd be happy if your bus driver/pilot/tube driver/motorist in the next lane was tripping?

considering some of the driving round here I think most of them are already.

I used to think avoiding users of Cannabis and going after the produces made a lot of sense but this has produced more no go areas. We are losing the battle IMHO.

Probably a good idea - then they can tax them.

Many people forget that when you change one thing, other things change to compensate and sometimes not for the better.

If they legalise hard drugs and these end up priced below bootleg supplies then crims who are drug dealers now will find some other source of illicit income. So we can look forward to an epidemic of protection rackets, extortion, kidnapping, etc.

Sometimes it's a case of "better the devil you know". After all, you don't have to take drugs, but if someone snatches your kid in the street and holds them to ransom then you're involved whether you like it or not.

Government should consider legalising drugs, MPs say - Telegraph

Next step, make them compulsory for all citizens.
