Mate it may be eating up massive amounts of tax payers money, but at the end of the day as long as they're still illegal the general public are going to insist on law enforcement. Fact.
the facts being that the law hasn't been enforced.
that billions of pounds spent on enforcing this law have seen or maybe resulted in ...
millions more people taking them.
millions more people becoming classed as criminals.
more drugs than ever before being stockpiled and distributed.
drugs becoming ever more available and affordable.
so what have the drug squafd achieved ...to result in further billions of pounds and man hours being put their way ...forever and ever?
I'm sure the law behind the enforcement realise the mammoth task they've got and realise they've got as much chance of eradicating the drugs from our streets as hell has of freezing over, but it has to be done. They are a lot of unsavoury characters locked up in our prisons who frankly don't deserve to be anywhere else (mainly talking the people from the top of the hierarchy - the ruthless type). The problem arises when you realise that for every unsavoury person behind bars, another 100 are walking the streets gagging for a chance to make a few easy quid.
At the end of the day, as long as drugs stay illegal countless hours, effort and money will be ploughed into these operations reaping little or no success. Legalisation is the only possible solution I can honestly think of, and even then I think we'd be lucky to have fully eradicated the problem.
you are obviously a threat to the well being of the nation.
yes lock me up and throw the key away and someone should think of the children before they let me loose cos i'm on a mission, just think of the damage i'm doin.........woah i've just hit a wall
And what medication options are open to the crack user Rolly?
Legalisation quickly would be a massive social experiement almost bound to fuck this country up even worse than it is. We could legalise certain drugs over a 10 or 15 year period, anything less than that would be insane.
Its the poverty and depravation that are the main issue anyway, and they wont go away if you made drugs legal.
Sure does dosen't it. I haven't had a proper 'session' in a good while now of just blow.
I hope you're not too like them.
not too much like them, they remind me of me of just sitting there constantly toking but i don't go about stealing stuff, i go to school, am quite educated and all that craic.
As for who supplies them, the Morrocans will be the source of the hashish, but they wont supply the pills or probably the cocaine.
Interesting that the pills and such come from the UK, you'd think the coke would come from Spain and pills Holland. Suggests that pills are being made here in the UK, something people have suspected for a while.
I think it was somewhat unwise to presume a whole chain of drug supply on one cockney and a few heavy looking scousers.
Next Wednesday BBC2 are showing If... Drugs Were Legal which is part of the If.... series. The rest of them have been really well done, so I am looking forward to this one.
Plus they were blatently putting the frighteners on him, "this bloke is coming after you" etc.
Out of the three only the middle one was better than average I think. More because it covered life in that area well, not because it really told you anything about the drug market there.
Show 1 - There is lots of cocaine and dealers in London
Show 2 - The life on a council estate is grim, there are lots of drugs, using crack and heroin is a bad idea.
Show 3 - There are lots of drugs on Ibiza.
think slightly blurred out is Alex P in the background too.
