Ps: same goes for making weapons possession illegal, possession isn't the problem, neither is their use even (eg: self defence). Only when they are used to victimize others should it be a crime.

@@bbc6 Statistics? Cannabis is the most consumed illegal drug, makes sense it would be what most are buying.......

[@gozuam1617]

ConaaG according to BBC statistics Cocaine is the second most used illegal drug in the UK with 2.6% of the population having used cocaine at least once in their life but only 0.1% (< 66 thousand) of the population regularly do cocaine and cocaine use is more likely in middle class to richer areas. Cannabis regular active use is 7.6% of the population (around 4.8 million peeps) with 13% of the population having smoked weed at least once in their life. (8.5 million) So with the statistics I would say its highly likely that it's just weed.

[@hawk_202]

@@gozuam1617 I said "most of the time" even your statistics show, weed is most common. Never did I say its ONLY, Im saying if you see someone go to a car and hand something over and walk away, most likely they just bought cannabis, yeah sure it could be, coke, ket, acid ect or just someone gabbing their phone off their friend because they left it, but MOST of the time its bud......

@@SPARKY832010 Who is society to tell you what to put into your own damn body anyway. The war on drugs was lost from day one. I reckon the government would legalize some drugs in a heartbeat rubbing their hands at a new source of tax n vat but are too scared of generally older voters opinions. The stats coming out of Portugal don't lie, and for problem drugs, they push very penny saved from punishing users n dealers straighy into treatment. It's time to grow up and be adults on this issue bcos drugs are here to stay, is it not better to control then than fight them. And imagine the time it would give cops to fight violence, rape and such

Because some people aren't as well educated as others... Don't do their research... Get onto worse and worse drugs... Get addicted... Can't afford it... Go to other avenues (like theft) to make the cash... Become a complete waster in society. Arguing for drugs is much harder than it is to argue for it against.

People use drugs as an escape from the conditions they are in, you dont make them stop wanting to take drugs by threatening them, locking them up and ruining their lives even further. decriminalisation is the only way you can take this 'crime' off the streets and into the hands of professionals. Its incredible how short sighted some people can be

[@thisisarmando8393]

Decriminalisation would encourage newbies. Like for instance if ciggerates was illegal... So many wouldn't start or even be hooked. Same with Alcohol, if it were illegal... There wouldn't be so many people drinking. Also for addicts to keep getting their fix it would be easier to just go back to drug dealers who will ask no questions or even check ID.

[@annmendes1361]

@@thisisarmando8393 that is just NOT true, take Portugal for example, they decriminalised drugs which actually led to a drop in drug use and an increase in the amount of ppl in rehab. Making drugs illegal just creates a high demand for supply because it’s harder to obtain & ppl are more desperate to get their hands on it. During prohibition days in the US, people were still making alcohol in their bath tubs and supplying it to others. Making these substance illegal as I’ve said makes it worse

It's pretty simple, give people a place to smoke up and chill, maybe they will go to those places instead of your street, especially if you can arrange transportation to and from the venues. It works in dam and works in Canada. On top of that, stop taxing young people til they're 24/25 when they actually have money they can spare. Otherwise you're just encouraging dealing as a side hustle. Everyone needs money.
