So people become addicted to drugs to the point that they destroy their own lives because the of prohibition? Wow.
Nice grasp on the situation there.

Significant body of evidence that prohibition does not work. If you want a really simple example though - US alcohol prohibition.

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... [url= http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/08/23/birmingham-crime-gang-members-banned-city-centre-largest-injunction/ ]look at this in the news today FFS![/url]. 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

I'm intrigued to know how an injuction will have any effect in that Birmingham situation.
These are guys who are quite happy to tote machine guns around 24-7 and have a jolly little shoot out in public.
It will have absolutely zero effect. And is therefore entirely indicative of UK drugs policy

I'm convinced it was instant Karma.
Flights for flights, seems plausible.
Don't have many drugs these days, apart from wine. But that's not a drug. It's a drink.Cordially,
Wine a cordial?
I used to holiday sometimes near Tenby, and I used to wander into the WHSmith and nick Hot Wheels cars.
Nobody ever noticed, I got quite good at it, had half a dozen in the end.
Occasionally swiped CD's that had fallen off magazine covers that I wasn't interested in buying.
