| SamuelRSmith said: @Pyro as Bill: Marijuana is the only drug that I personally can see being legalized in the medium term, and it certainly won't be this Parliament. However, I think we all need to realise now that the Liberal Democrats are probably going to have some form of representation within the Government for a very long time, now, especially if AV/AVPlus (whatever one it is that they're going for) passes. I can certainly see serious debate on the legalization of pot occurring during the next Parliament, if everything goes to plan in the current one. ---- As an aside: I am in full support of the legalization of all drugs. Not only because of my liberal beliefs, but because of the revenues it can bring in taxes, and the fact that it destroys the financial lifeblood of so many evil organisations in this world - the Taliban, Mexican drug cartels, that one kid who sits at the back of the class, doesn't have a job, but is always loaded. Second, Portugal's legalization has seen an increase in the number of drug abusers seeking help, whilst also seeing decreases in drug related deaths and illness (in particular, HIV from dirty needles), and drug-related crimes. |
Totally agree. The only thing I would say is that given how far the coalition are going with schools and the NHS, legalising or just relaxing dope/drug laws would be pretty minor. The rumblings coming from the likes of Ken Clarke about prisons also makes me think they're up to something.
*You consider the kid at the back of the class to be in the same league as the Taliban and Mexican drug cartels? That was tongue in cheek right?
