The Kintyre Forum

I see they are about to reclassify Cannabis from class C to class B. Against the advice of various mental health organisations and drug experts. Idiots are driving up the price- users pay on the street to the criminal paternity. Users are being further criminalised - by this reactionary government - hell bent on introducing costly and useless laws. Och well, a suppose that makes me more of a criminal now.
From the depths of deprivation.

should be legalized then the politicians can tax it. Read an article a while back that cannibas smokers had less lung cancer than cigarette smokers.
Most people stoned on weed do not get out and drive into innocent citizens like some drinkers do. I bet the price of crisps would go up though.

Lets put it this way - all drugs should be legalised - Heroin would be first on my list.
The price of crisps - raised a smile. If the price goes up we can always try nippy sweeties.

Might be a bit conspiratorial, but I cant see drugs ever being legalized. Governments make too much money off them as it is. If America was really so against drugs then Colombia would be in the same position Iraq is in. As I say, feel free to disagree, conspiracies arent for everyone.

In Scotland, the only people who make money out of illegal drugs is criminals. The authorities are fighting a costly - yet losing battle against drug misuse. Perhaps in an independent country - we could de-criminalise all illegal drugs. Essentially drug abusive and addiction - should be treated as a social medical problem.
The government have absolutely no control over the tide of drugs coming into the country - apart from the odd highly published drugs bust. One can only imagine the true scale - as the problem has been driven underground by the government - straight into the hands of the invisible creatures - who amass vast fortunes - and hide behind a cloak of urban respectability.
Take heroin for example. This should be made free and available. That way would wipe the dealers - off the face of the earth at one stroke. As to the poor people who are addicted - stealing, muggings, shop lifting, house breaking ,car theft, and violence - would all see a dramatic fall.
Addicts should be treated as patients - and if possible be given some care and respect - something that is sadly missing in today's friendly Scotland. A two pronged approach - cut the source - contain and prevent.
Addicts would be eligible to drug rehabilitation programme. A controlled environment - where the emphasis should be gradual reduction. Make heroin completely worthless on the street - this would ensure that no new addicts - join the current miserable army of sufferers. I have used cannabis regularly for over forty years now. Forty years of dealing with undesirables - straight out of a Dickens novel. I have never even clapped eyes on Heroin or cocaine - wouldn't know what it looked like - or experienced their effects. Cannabis for me - has not been a gateway drug . However I can only speak for myself. Accordingly this post has been written by ionnsaigh the criminal - can you be a criminal on the Kintyre forum ? - because I have broke the law for over forty years now. Should this tragic fact - be enough for those in command - to pull the plug.

I'm with Ionns on this one - a huge proportion of crime is to pay for drugs - legalise it and control it, make it worthless on the streets, and help those addicted get off of it
