:blush: I thought that was a good one.

I don't think there is a right answer to this conundrum. If there was, then surely they would have done something about it.

Good plan on balancing the argument, sometimes they can be very one sided on NSC.

Am chuffed to see this hasn't plunged into a slanging match yet :clap:

Just imagine the Daily Mail/Telegraph/Express/Sun headlines the next day if any member of a Labour government dared to suggest relaxing ANY drugs laws even a tiny, tiny bit. They'd be eaten alive. And that's why it won't ever change.

The Daily Telegraph has long been running editorials calling for drug laws to be relaxed and, as many have already pointed out, to take control of distribution away from real criminals. Our current laws are about as effective as the ones for mobile 'phones and driving. When a law is so widely flouted, it cannot be a good law or even good for the rule of law. Furthermore, many druggies are more victim rather than criminal and to criminalize them is unlikely to be helpful towards their rehabilitation.

Well if you legalise drugs

The problem is if you legalise drugs then kids will be able to get their hands on them much easier. I'm sure all of us drunk alcohol when we were under 18 and a lot of us smoked before we were 16. Could you imagine the effects of 12-13 year old kids on cocaine and heroin?

Sad to say that many kids know easily enough where to get hold of drugs if they want them. If you make them legal (and I'm not suggesting that should be the case) then they'd be restricted in the same way that prescription drugs are now. It wouldn't mean that you could buy a gram of coke in Spar.

Believe it or not, there are plenty of people about that have been on heroin, for example, for years, without their families having any idea. It's not the drug itself that causes them to look like shit- it's the fact that most users have to spend so much time and money on getting more that they don't bother to eat properly, for one thing. Plus many heroin users take a lot of other stuff as well, like diazepam and alcohol, hence they eventually start to fall apart.

Whoever it was who mentioned the veins collapsing from injecting- its very true. I remember one night at work, having to sit with a heroin addict who needed treatment for an injury: when they tried to put a drip into him, the only place they could find to stick the needle in (ie the only veins he hadn't completely ruined from smack use) was in the sole of his foot.

Nice to watch, that was :eek:

Why do people do any kind of drugs. Not just the fact that it is a selfish habit, and you could very well end up hurting many people, you are also supporting the industry as a whole, which consist of crime, murder, oppression that strikes fear into and holds back many countries.

Do you get invited out much.
