I'm a big proponent of legalisation, just saying.

many people are really brainwashed by the policy that drugs are evil, banned and forbidden by law and should therefore stay banned, no discussion allowed

This is why I'm a big proponent of legalisation. I was brainwashed into thinking like that, then i smoked weed and didn't die or become a psycho. I am lucky enough to have the brains to then not move on to coke and heroin, but a lot of people do.

And that's why the war on drugs doesn't work. Legalise the stuff that's fine and then maybe we can trust the system again.

Legalise weed, tax and regulate it, oh and we have these harmless friends that grow in autumn EVERYWHERE let's legalise those too. We can grow em in a building so we know they're not the ones that look the same but kill you (they don't look the same) so let's stop that argument before it starts.

Then for harder drugs we can follow Switzerland and have legal injecting rooms with taxpayer funded medical smack, and humanise those people back into society.

"Oh no, but i don't want my taxpayer money going on SMACK!" it already does, we just call it fucking Morphine and Cocodomol. If we fund the smack heads we stop em robbing our houses for smack money, and it would be lovely to go shopping without someone asking for spare change for their addiction, they could spend their time working and contributing to society instead.

Not in this country with this media and these politicians though eh? Sounds like too much sense.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
