Yeah, right.
It is the prohibition of drugs and the crime surrounding drugs that is the problem.
The feeble minded and the self-destructive will always find new ways of harming and destroying themselves. By all means educate people, especially the young, about the harm drugs can do and provide rehabilitation for those who want it. Forget trying to criminalise drug taking and supplying. When the bottom falls out of the market, the dealers won't be so rich and the takers will stop committing serious crime to fund their (currently expensive) habit.

BEagle,
Great idea about the death penalty, until someone has the drugs planted on them or in their luggage without their knowledge, is it still acceptable to kill them as a punishment?

Soddim,
You said "If you increase the supply and availability, giving more repectability to these drugs in the process, ergo more will be used."
If you believe respectability will increase the drug use among teenagers then you have a frankly parlous understanding of the mindstate of the youth of today (or indeed any day)

rivetjoint, that is why anyone challenged to open hold luggage upon arrival at an airport should clearly state that it has been out of their personal custody from check-in at (wherever) to their destination and hence they obviously cannot therefore vouch for the contents - unless the case had been hermetically sealed throughout.
Which is highly unlikely in the current paranoid state of airport security.

Tourist,
Happy to admit that I am as far removed from the youth of today as is possible. In general, their behaviour appals me. However, now and again I see some glimmer of self-discipline that must have been inherited because it is seldom taught nowadays.
Nevertheless, I think from my experience of life, high and low, that I know more than a bit about how to bring up kids and what we as a nation need to do to improve the lives of our youth.
It is certainly not in their interests to legalise hard drugs.

Rather than the continual delivery of comatose Drunks and Drug Takers to our Hospital A&E dept's maybe we could just allow them to lie where they fall .....
Call it a self imposed "Trial by Ordeal" ...... if they survive then so be it .... if they pass on to that great drug/Booze Lair in the sky then it would be a form of self imposed Justice

I guess most of you posting on this thread do not have kids
If you have ever tried telling a child NO you may see where I am coming from. In a roundabout way Tourist has got it SPOT ON...as telling kids drugs are legal, in the main, means they simply won't do it as "conforming" is not cool.
There is enough product out there for the Gov't to issue it free of charge and for the insurance companies to set up places all over the country for the weak to indulge, which considering the money they would save from drug related crime would be a small price to pay.
It's pretty basic really, if I tell my teenagers NO they rebel and if I say help yourselves they ignore............not much rocket science there
all spelling mistakes are "df" alcohol induced
