Absolutely. Some people will always overdo things and aren't mentally stable, so there will always be those who go too far. But legalisation and education are proven to go a long way towards minimising the harm that drug use (including alcohol and smoking) cause to people and society. The money raised in taxes would be useful too.

 

My question to you which you didn't answer is:

Do you think all drugs should be banned?

 

You seem to give alcohol a free pass, it would be a class 'a' drug if it was a new drug.

 

 

 

 

 

Yeah Mark  ban the lot for me and drop the dealers on the spot like the old Philippines guy did ( much to the applause of the Philippino deck crew on a boat I was on at the time) 

How on earth can an educated adult propose legalising the stuff you are talking about. As for Alcohol! What did I say 🤷‍♂️personally I don’t give a damn but to compare having a few beers or a glass of wine with smoking crack cocaine, come on Mark. It might have been a good idea at uni but Anarchy ain’t a viable alternative or solution.

Could they not rig it , cover it in a million ton of sand,then set it off?

How viable is the cargo after 77 years in the sea?

Very viable. Look at the regular incidents regarding fishermen and excavations etc throughout Western Europe, Germany in particular. Cover or contain the blast sounds good but can make things far worse. No doubt it will be left until it has to be done as the cost whatever happens is gonna be astronomical.

Well ok, this isn't scary, at all. 

 

 

It doesn't matter what is illegal or not, if one of these fckers pops up from the ground wearing a cop badge, you're gonna comply!

It would be better with machine guns.

Some people will have a few glasses of wine, some people will down a litre of vodka. It's down to the person in question, not the drug itself.

Ok mark, you are entitled to your opinion. Thankfully you are in a tiny minority on this one.

Tobacco should be banned and absolutely everything else made legal. Why wreck your health for such a shitty return on investment. At least crack melts the world for a wee while, tobacco does eff all.

On the subject of crack use, go steady, sime42.

Oh it will have guns, and it can use the stairs too. :)

 

I'm not into the making all drugs legal, I wouldn't want my kids having easy access to spice or meth etc. You can pour as much money as you like into education and parenting but teenage kids have it in their genes to experiment no matter how good their parents are.How many drug users started in their 30's/40's I guess not many compared to how many did in their teens.

 

If it's legal then it's way easier to get hold of and experiment with. Smoking ban, not sure, if it was banned for everyone from tomorrow I would pack in straight away. It would be far too much hassle to get them from a street corner and I think we have all (smokers) witnessed some dodgy fake baccy too know it's certainly not worth it!

So legal fags are good quality but illegal ones can be bad. Have you got any ideas how bad quality other drugs could be replaced with good quality ones?
