Forums Forums Local News Twelve Wirral Drug Arrests

You wouldn't prescribe alcohol to alcoholics.
Food to the obese
Tobacco to cancer patients, so why should drugs be prescribed to junkies ?

I heard that Alcoholics get an extra benefit towards this Dilly sounds daft I know but I'm sure it's true. It just seems to me that the druggies seem to be the worst problem with their addiction driving them to do such horrible things, mugging people usually vunerable sick or old folk. I just hate to see these drug pushers driving round in flash cars etc feeding off the misery of drug taking. To me instead of destroying drugs give it to them and to hell with it, as I say they're going to get it whatever.

This is typical of the tabloid's attitude. It satisfies a crudely vengeful response which (presumably) makes some people feel good, but is basically advocating murder. Are you happy to murder addicts Dilly? Because that is what you are proposing.

In fact, Heroin is dirt cheap to produce, and the cost of supplying it to addicts is a tiny percentage of the money spent on totally ineffective 'drugs wars'. Also, doing so cuts out peddlers who often generate addicts with 'free samples', and it allows addicts to become law-abiding members of society. This is good for them, Dilly, which you seem to find offensive, but it is also good for YOU because it makes it far less likely that your posh new telly or car will be nicked to supply someone's addiction.

Fortunately, times they are a-changin' and even politicians now occasionally suggest that decriminalisation is the way to go. In a few years we may well have a humane and effective policy on drugs.

I don't know where you live Ex, maybe you are priveliged to live where you have not been effected by having you home broken into and things you have worked for taken by the stinking low life you so much want to protect. I have experienced living in areas where this is a hazard of of going out to work. I have had my property stolen by the filth that think it is right for them to take it. It is their choice to take drugs and that does not give them the right to take other people's property. Sorry if what I said offends you but that is the way they have made me feel.

What would decriminalization do ? It wouldn't stop the use of the majority of drugs, just simply lead to greater use.
There's more than heroin out there.
I would suggest that the majority of cocaine users come from the cities, London in particular. Where the money is good and those in positions of authority are as guilty as the chap on benefits. These young politicians ( and some old) many have dabbled at some time or another, by their own admittance.
No wonder there are those in high places who wish it to be decriminalized, there is no doubt a fair few amongst them who break the law themselves, including those who enforce the law but frequent posh pubs in London and indulge in their sad lifestyle.
Who was that Labour MP, supposedly a man of stature who chaired the Home Affairs Select Committee ? Caught out !
The sad fact is that decriminalization will only result in greater use by those who can least afford it, and subject people to the nasty behaviour that some drugs induce in people.

Just parallel other drugs to alcohol which has loads of underage drinking, crime and health problems associated with it despite being "decriminalised".

The entertainment industry don't help, barely a non-fiction programme goes by without people necking alcohol.

I'm not a prohibitionist but the British just can't cope with these sort of things.
