Man tries to swallow a load of drugs

I know the answer is "to avoid jail" but seriously

Unfortunately people do. I worked with someone years ago who ended up doing a couple of years for drugs, came out and carried on with dealing, got stopped by police one night so swallowed the drugs he had on him and they ended up killing him. He was only 38 with a young kid too. Such a waste of life.

If druggies/dealers kill themselves then it saves the cost of trials & prison. Bargain.

Have to agree with this.
Win.Win. All the way.

Happens frequently. My wife comes home from A&E most weeks rolling her eyes about another drug runner wasting a bed and time. They then have the hassle of the tts trying to escape and the worry of assault. Personally I think it’d be better to leave them to live with the consequences.

This is agreed.

How’s that ivory tower?

I know someone who started using drugs because they were raised in foster care and abused, they thought it was their only way of escape, what a ‘low life’? Idiot.

You’ve no idea what drives certain people to drugs, or to deal, you keep on with your perfect lives judging others.

Drug users / dealers aren’t the problem, no drugs = no drug dealers or addicts.

If users and dealers aren't the problem then I have to admit that I'm struggling to see who else is.

I stick by my statement.

The point is more there a choices plenty of people suffer abuse as children sadly but not all become drug addicts or dealers. We have tried No drugs it has not worked it has made criminals rich and caused havoc to countries where they supply them from.

People choose (99% of the time) to use drugs they choose to align with people who use them etc, it may be the choice is because of a poor homelife and Mr Drug Dealer offers them on the face of it a way out. But ultimatly drug dealers pray on the vulnerable. Look at the country lines gangs etc.

So no if a deal wants to chug a load of crack no great loss to society

Maybe the people who bring the drugs here in the first place?

Alcohol and tobacco companies? (Or are you only talking about illegal drugs, even though legal drugs cause MUCH more harm).

As I said, get out of your ivory tower and ‘think’ about the issue rather than repeat some ill advised, narrow minded, perfect life view.

What’s your solution, bearing in mind people have been taking illicit and dangerous narcotics going back to ancient times .. and others have been profiting from their misery since time began

If they aren’t the problem, what is ?

The types of people who write those comments tend not to have seen much of the real world.

Alcohol and Tabaco are taxed and regulated so their impact in part can be offset. We have rules around who can sell and use them. Also over recent years the consumption of both is falling. They also don't cause whole nations to be destabilized (Mexico, Afghanistan, Bolivia etc)

To assume those using and those supplying are not the problem in "narrow minded" they are literally both parts of the market supply an demand. I am not sure what you are trying to say though as thoes who bring the drugs in are doing the same job as the chap in the video "supplying". Are you saying its ok to be a street dealer but not a cartel. End of the day both cause violence an harm

Utter rubbish.

Alcohol causes more misery than all the illegal drugs put together. Men beating their wives whilst drunk. Men attacking other men whilst drunk. People driving cars and killing people. The idea that some tax offsets that is absurd.

When alcohol was banned in America you had 'cartels' supplying it. Similar to banned drugs now. The cause of much of the suffering is the laws that prohibit the drugs. Make it legal and you'd dramatically reduce crime overnight, you'd save a huge number of lives.

People in England and Wales spend about £10bn a year on illegal drugs. There is no stopping that level of demand.

Just legalise it and use the revenue to rehabilitate those with serious addictions.

You said dealers are not the problem. Make your mind up!

You undermine your very argument by saying prohibition cuased crime to rocket where as my argument was the way we deal with Alcohol and tabbaco offsets that crime. It does not get rid of it but it does offset it some. Not seen anyone hung from a bridge by a rival offlicence recently but cartels like to do that.

Domestic violence has gone on for 1000's of years alcohol plays a part of course but it is perhaps not the only reason. Tabco I suspect does not cause domestic violence does kill you though.

If we discovered either today they would be illegal instead we have adapted ways of controlling them in ways we have not with drugs. To say one is worse so we should legalize the other is not a fully thought out solution.

This in part might help but you would need to regulate supply too. So like not many [people buy bootleg moonshine so if we regulated drugs not many would buy it from Mr Drug dealer as the price could fall etc.

Like alcoholism we would still have issues but we could deal with them (I say this as someone who is 5 years sober and what I deem a recovered alcoholic)

Plus police might show a shred of interest in solving real crime rather than doing the paperwork on the same crackheads who are constantly robbing local shops or people stabbing each other over territory.
