You do know that in some cases drugs destroy and take lives don’t you?
in the vast majority of cases thats due to the nature of prohabition, not the drugs directly. For example a recent shipment of purer than usual heroin caused a spate of deaths from overdoses. Simply because the purity and quality of the drugs on the street cannot be controlled
And as a few of us have pointed out on here, the drugs market, worth billions, is entirely controlled by totally ammoral (but certainly not stupid) individuals, where the rule of the jungle applies. Whoever is prepared to use the most sickening level of violence controls the market. I mean… look at this in the news today FFS!. Its an open admission that the police cannot control gang violence fuelled by the illegal supply of drugs. Its pathetic!
Prohibition is totally ineffectual. As the recent criminalisation od Spice has proved. Our cities are awash with the (now illegal) stuff
We pour billions into policing which has absolutely zero impact on supply, while spending next to nothing on education , prevention, and treatment of addiction
Its a totally ****ed up set of priorities! Utter stupidity! And yet we still, as a society, bury our heads in the sand and refuse to have a grown up debate about it. Seeking refuge in tabloid hysteria instead
