Decriminalise Heroin? email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 80/100. nuffsed (870)   ranked 1 out of 4 in make it count3 years ago

Is that the answer? Here in Britain we awash with the stuff and the cost to society in broken lives, crime and health resources is incalculable. The Afghan crop has multiplied by a factor of eight in the years of USA "controls". Though I have ernestly tried, I have failed to help, and lost dear friends, who turned into what I can only describe as evil zombie strangers under the spell of addiction.
Recent events in Britain have shown that the authorities can close the supply of cannabis quite effectively. No doubt they are congratulating themselves. But I wish something serious could be done to adress what I see as a far more pressing need, the spread of Heroin and other hard drugs.

Sorry to hear about your friend, maybe you need to help him get out of this. I agree something needs to be done about that.

Thank you Lydia... It's a long time since I had that experience, but I had a neighbour die and leave two boys age 10 and 8, her hubby went missing a year ago after introducing her to the filthy stuff.:(
Damn I hate the lack of will to do anything against this trade.

Have you ever done any thinking as to why the government lacks the will to do something about heroine and other hard drugs?

This will take you down some interesting intellectual paths.

I have case studies and evidence of successful methods tried in Britain and subsequently halted by Maggie Thatcher. I have evidence and histories from Switzerland.

Unfortunately I do not have the link you proffessed to offer.

Nuffsed, I did not say the government could not stop heroine trafficing. I asked if you had thought about why they do not have the will to do so?

Of course, the government could stop heroine usage. Start to think about why they don't.

If you had any humanity for the victims of these drugs, never mind the cost to society, you wouldn't try to divert the argument with waffle. The people dealing these horrors are criminals. We should adopt Thai remedies for dealers. Human misery is the worst of all trades.


myLot reputation of 40/100. redyellowblackdog (3983)  3 years ago

No, nuffsed, you are not getting my point at all. I am not waffling, I am directing your line of thought in a direction that could be productive. I can not say out loud directly where we need to take the conversation. Just ask yourself, why the government won't stop the heroine trade. You know they could. When you can admit to yourself why they won't, you will be on to understanding the problem. Don't bother posting what you come up with. If you are right, I won't reply.

If you cannot speak your mind, then I am happy not to listen.

Nuffsed, somethings can not be discussed here.
