Government to ignore expert's report again

[oldpink]

so they spend 6 years looking at evidence make there report that cost millions
and the government will ignore it again and carry on regardless

why do they bother getting these commissions to look into thing's when they know unless it says what they want it to it will be ignored

[Bubbs]

They're a bunch of idiots that only care about staying in power. They don't want to be the ones to ruffle feathers and put forward a change to drug laws which means nothing changes.

We should be able to vote a law change via ballot to enable change.

the system Holland has is good
its still illegal to possess but if its under 5g that is deemed personal use
any more and you will get arrested and the drugs confiscated and fined / jail depending on the amount

you can have your E's or MDMA tested for purity so you know your not taking bad shit
we had 2 young guys found dead in my town this week which the cops are saying is unexplained
but the word on the street was "Double dunt E's" is the cause, but they are still waiting for Tox screen results

a similar system here would take a large part of the population out of the criminal population
and allow people to get access to drugs if they wish in a controlled manner
and the tax raised (as they WILL tax it) can be used to treat drug issues and health care

THE WAR ON DRUGS!

Shit, if we knew what we do now about them then, things would have been different.
It's been something like 40 years now and it's still on going. We have a large number of people from that era who repeat the same shite that was just as misguided and ill informed back then. It really is sad we've spent so much money on so called studies and then ignored the results.

I think it was in the 60's in the US. They pumped a chimp full of about 60 high grade spliffs. The poor thing lost brain cells due to lack of oxygen, they claimed it was simply a bad drug. Something as crude and pointless as that, still stands today.
If you watch some of the videos on the build up to the ban on youtube, there are many white folk in suits talking about black people smoking it and creating the devils music.

People are getting more and more educated on drugs every day. The USA is stepping closer and closer to legalisation of marijuana.

All this because the war on drugs has failed so badly. All we need now is a war on education and maybe the next generation will come out of the system with some knowledge.

[Hetzer]

Drug use = lower productivity. That myth is what drives those in control, because it's all about the impact on toys for the rich. And don't make the mistake of thinking "toys" means only discrete physical objects like cars and flat-screen TVs etc. It also refers to services and a generally well-ordered society in which to parade ones ego.

IMO make it all legal or keep it all illegal. You can't have wishy-washy grey areas about personal possession.

The time isn't right to make it all legal, and I'm not sure it ever will be, so keep it illegal.

When they can do a test to see if you are fit to drive/use machinery/work like they can with drink, then perhaps and only perhaps it can be in the use of the ordinary man. Until then let the druggies have it.

There is no real place for such stuff in the world for recreation, druggies will come up with all sorts of excuses and peddle off the research that goes in their favour, but they never go one about the research that goes against it other than to rubbish it.

Druggies will say such and such a thing is good for you because this nearly dead person uses it to help get over what ever they have until they die, so if the nearly dead can use it then druggies can use it while jumping up and down at the pub/club. Feeble isn't in it.

I imagine if weed were ever legalised here it'd be made super expensive for the reasoning "so people wont buy it as much" like their logic for putting the price on alcohol up.

And be substantially weaker, arguing it lowers the risk of mental disorders.


So in all you'll end up paying £40 for like 2 grams of weed, not even skunk

classifying people as druggies is BS
there are a lot more "Druggies" getting there pills & potions legally from a chemist
and most of the drug's they are on are far worse that illegal ones
most of them "Can't" work because there tablets say don't operate machinery

I smoke drug's and I'm very open about it
I have 3 job's inc running my own PA & lighting company and I function normally I'm not a drain on society in fact I now employ people
and yes I'm proud to be a druggie as you kindly put it

I don't really understand why anyone cares...
Those that want to smoke dope etc do and if careful no harm with the law should come of it.

"UK Drug Policy Commission, which undertook six years of research"

means give the task to a local university, and see what happens !

The students the go smoking weed etc. for 5.9 years and then make up a report for the commision, saying weed is good , yea , chill , peace man.

I dont do drugs, have no desire to, and am opposed to it, but have yet to be convinced some recreational drugs cause more deaths and social ills than alcohol. Ok the highly addictive ones like heroin and crack excluded. I also dislike smoking, and it is very harmful, but you cant ban things that people choose to do that is harmful to themselves.

It would be interesting to know the costs of drug rehab vs alochol.

The war on drugs costs a fortune. To reduce drug use why not legalise with a very high tax like alochol and tobacco? Then it would a revenue rather than a cost. And that would cut revenue to illegal drug syndicates.

Those of you that choose to do drugs, like smoking, no problem as long as you refrain from doing it in my face or passing it to minors.

The war on drugs clearly doesnt work. It is available to every school kid. It is as ridiculous as the US prohibition which only spawned the mafia.

But I still dont get why people want to do drugs.
