la_emme   10 #3 Posted July 13, 2016 Big flippin' WOW. Lets look at this from a different point of view. The UK has a huge market for drugs. Should there have been no demand - tere would be no supply. Tha government should not boast about catching drug dealers but should rather boast about how they deal with addicts and what measures are taken to make sure people do not become drug users and then addicts......hmmmm not much to boast about there  When I used to live in Sheffield, I knew where one could get any drug, how come the Police do not know? Why are they being paid high salaries? what for?  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

panchobar   10 #7 Posted July 13, 2016 (edited) Drug addiction is a disease and should be treated but crimes committed by addicts should not go unpunished. Smoking and alcohol are an addiction but are banned in police stations but they have resident doctors for the drug addicts every day in the court cells.

willman   10 #8 Posted July 13, 2016 I agree legalize the lot, treat addiction as a disease not a crime.  Why?  Its a personal choice to put any drugs into your system regardless of which ones.If you don't try them you can't get addicted.  Why should society have to mop up and molly cuddle people who can't hack it?

Smoking cigarettes is an addiction too. Why exactly do you draw the line ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
geared   303 #11 Posted July 13, 2016 Smoking (especially) is really highly taxed for those people who "can't hack it".  No tax on illegal drugs though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
