    War on drugs: Drugs win

    Drugs are back on the agenda. The war on drugs is IMO sheer folly. I would focus on treatment, not punishment. Bring drugs into the NHS and prescribe the proscribed

    Where's the "mandatory" option

          Legalise it then tax it (VAT @ 25%?).

          I'm sure Gordon would love that.

              *whistles*

              Where is the 'AndyW does all drugs and it never did him any harm' option?
              Oh, I’m sorry….I seem to be lost. I was looking for the sane side of town. I’d ask you for directions, but I have a feeling you’ve never been there and I’d be wasting my time.

                  From the way things are going, that should arrive soon.

                  I am increasingly reminded of the fiction of Phillip K. Dick in this regard.

                  I'm sure there's one of his books where you can buy any drug you like apart from alchohol and tobacco.

                  Not forgetting substance D.
                  Compulsary substance D for all citizens. The final step before the invasion...
                  Man in the high castle has legalized reefage.

                  Anyway, so far all votes except 1 are in the legalise / semi-legalise category you bunch of drug-addled, speed-crazed dope smoking hippy weirdo acid casualities. Where is Alf anyway?
