"Teenagers are five times more likely to have been offered illegal drugs than in the late 1980s. But the number of school pupils actually taking drugs is similar to a decade ago, shows research from the Schools Health Education Unit."

I'm not surprised that the number offered drugs has increased. With drugs policies as they are at the moment, I'm not really surprised. No one has the faintest idea what's happened with policies on cannabis use, for example. But no more taking them? I'm a little bemused. What do you reckon?

as for topic, i'm not really surprised, you hear on TV that there is an escalating drug problem but i know loads of people who don't do drugs, nothing against drug users but just don't do it, and as for being offered them, thats no surprise either, sometimes if i stand in a group of strangers i'll offer anyone a spliff, they say no they don't smoke it and i think thats dead on, it's not like i'm forcing a spliff down their throats...
whats there to be confused about, cannabis is class C, any prosecutions and laws relating to cannabis must follow those that comply with drugs in the class C bracket, pretty simple...speed on the other hand is weird, class B normally but class A when prepared for injection...
And people who don't do drugs, very rarely give legality as reason for their choice.
Except the time he was there he only showed us the difference between one drug to the next. Great. Thanks! Now I know the different I know which one to go for...
He don't deal to kids below 17, pregnant women nor people who obviously have addiction problems.
they're few and far between, i know dealers that would literally deal to anyone
I've sold drugs before to people as young as 14. :eek:
It wasn't because I 'targeted' them, it was because they asked me.
Exactly, virtually all the drug market is demand led, there really are no 'pushers' outside the school gates, there are school friends and older brothers.
