And again, they already do.
As I said: Legalise the lot.
But the crims will just move on to other criminality ,what do you think they are going to do get a job in Morrisons ? By keeping it illegal at least in the main it keeps the dug addicts away from public spaces and the criminals in their drug world bubbles . Then you're in favour of the status quo. How's that working out for you? |

As long as nobody is smoking it anywhere near me (I hate the smell of it) I don't really care if its legal or not but saying it will remove criminality I can't agree with . Criminals are criminals because thats what they do ,legalising weed will just move them on to pushing other drugs . And again, they already do.
As I said: Legalise the lot.
You cant seriously want 'the lot' legalised? Class A?.. |

Oregon, USA, legalised all sorts of drugs.
Now they are regretting it. The Fentanyl zombies are taking over.
Why should it go any better in Germany? It's the thin end of the wedge which leads to a downhill slope, mixing metaphors!

There is no 100 effective preventative measure here (or for anything else for that matter - but that doesn't mean we should legalise everything - that way lies anarchy). There are, however, policy routes that are likely to help minimise incidents like I mentioned above. Legalising drugs is not one of them; not even if you introduced mandatory daily drug tests on arrival at your place of work (and I assume you are not suggesting that). Legalising all drugs WILL increase incidents of such. How can you justify that? All The Best All of the evidence from countries that have legalised or decriminalised drugs suggests the opposite of what you suggest. Have a look at Portugal as an example. Then please, do present such evidence. All The Best |

Germany has legalised cannabis, coming here soon... I hope so. I'd legalise the lot. Legalise it, control it, tax it and put the drug gangs out of business. Prohibition does not work. I agree, cover the packs in health warnings and have drug addicts go to the pharmacy to buy from someone who doesn't want to sell them it. I don't think the catchphrase "er, hi, I'd like to become a heroin addict please" would catch on. |

Britain is degenerate, the normalising of all, well lets call it picadillos has happened, and that to oppose is now criminal. Why not have orgies in the street, have drug stores, not in the American sense, but shops selling owt you want. My vision of hell, of Dantes inferno, this will be britain, the degenerate west will be destoyed, by itself. It seems most of the lefty woke snowflakes on this forum have been going to pot. Including starmer and his tart as they both suffer from collective selective memories. Your post suggests it is well past your time to give it up. |

It's worked in America most of them are off their faces high on drugs, so they wont notice Biden destroying America, maybe Labour have to same idea, if everyone is walking round high as a kite off their faces on drugs they wont notice what a fuck up Starmer/Labour making of the country, lets face it this country is almost half way there already, society is falling to pieces with drug lords taking over town by town by city by city. If I were you I would be looking for someone idiot enough to buy your useless Crystal Ball. |

When looking at drugs at a high level, no drugs are as harmful as alcohol.
It's laughably easy to score any street drug. Anyone who wants drugs already has them - you find drug dealers outside schools, pubs, clubs, parks, city centers....
Prohibition is just a useless tactic that makes us think the government is doing something that it can't do. You can't get rid of the blackmarket, you just make it more dangerous for people to obtain whatever drug they want.
By legalising drugs, you remove a huge portion of the blackmarket who deals with drugs - you reduce criminal gangs, murders, knife crime, the drug dealers who mix narcotics with dangerous additives to give them more to sell, etc.
Putting people in an iron cage for drugs is just a waste of tax payers money - instead it's far better to tax drugs and use that money to fund treatment of the fraction of drug users who need it.
