Perhaps I should have referred to them originally as ex friends.

It helps if you're good at it.
You're not.
It's pathetic.
Of course you're free to have your opinion, but unless you can articulate it a bit better than "drugs are for losers" could you please be quiet and let the grown ups continue the discussion. If you have some sensible or relevant points to make, I'm all ears.

My view IS that drugs are bad. The supposed hypocrisy of speeding is laughable. Doing 75 on the motorway is a million miles away from the damage drugs cause both individually and through the funding of criminal enterprise.
Cannabis - vast majority - no harm
- Legalise so takes money out of the criminals hands.
- Minority that have a problem - treat as medical problem, not criminal one.
Drugs? That's a wide subject, of which cannabis is only a small yet fairly innocuous part. Drugs like alcohol, nicotine, some prescription drugs and harder recreational drugs all have large problems associated with them. Cannabis doesn't, and if it does in certain cases it's better to treat than punish, n'est pas?

Sorry Inspector Clouseau to burst your bubble but I do have friends, I know of none that smoke the weed. My neighbours, we all get on, we regularly have parties at theirs, ours or sometimes they have their own parties and never, not once, can you smell the distinct smell of weed as none of them smoke either. I understand kids and experience, its not too long ago I was in the club scene but since growing up I have lost touch with the losers that continue to use drugs and consider it acceptable. Just because in your circle of friends/family/neighbours you can find this s
t happening, it doesn't mean we all socialise with the same sort of people.
I think you have a strange view of people and life. Just because there's a law against it doesn't make it immoral. The odds are that I sat next to an illegal drugs user every day when I used the train.t happening, it doesn't mean we all socialise with the same sort of people.There is no 'sort of people', as you put it, who use illegal drugs. It goes across the social spectrum. Jane Austin aside, everyone works with, is friends with, has dealings with drugs users.
Oddly enough, I don't smoke weed or use any illegal substance. I might well have done in the past, but I don't now.
I used to live next door to a stalwart of the round table, who ran his own business, who entertained the local MP, and was way above my social class. He, or possibly his Mrs, smoked the occasional joint. No problem to me. He didn't do it in front of me.
You live in a strange world. That doesn't make your morals wrong, but it does seem to mean that your view of life is restricted. Get out a bit, go to clubs, go to pubs where there are young people. Live a little.

OK, so the laws you disagree with are OK to be broken, but the laws you agree with should be clamped down on. When you spoke if the 'evidence' you and others have posted in support of this clampdown, you really meant anecdotes.
As opposed to the several links to respected sources (such as the office for public health in Portugal) that show clear scientific rationales, data and conclusions...

These people all seem like normal blokes with jobs and careers. Perhaps they are screaming in mental anguish on the inside.

not straight up you can't. Anything stronger than 8mg co-codamol and you need a prescription
You can get the linctus over the counter if you try, my brother seems proud of the fact of this as he thinks paracetamol is bad for you because too much of it can give you liver problems (he's an idiot).Failing that, just order it online

When it's decriminalised how are you going to stop 11,12,13,14yr olds from smoking it?
It'll be sat in houses legally left on the side by Mum and Dad.
Sorry, no. I'm out.
How comes then, in the Netherlands, where it is legal, less teenagers have tried cannabis than they have here in the UK, where it's illegal?It'll be sat in houses legally left on the side by Mum and Dad.
Sorry, no. I'm out.
