what a dumb way to view it

i never said that. i am saying drink and drugs are bad for you. so i have no problem with them being banned. those that want to keep them can do that but dont pretend they are harmless.
You did say they should be chucked in prison.

I don't think anyone is pretending they are harmless.

Anyway, shouldn't you be in jail? You smoked the green stuff didn't you, do the crime you do the time.

One which tries to circumvent the declaration of human rights and enables modern slavery.
It isn't a law, its a declaration which I for one cannot accept.

As Joy Division said though you've admitted to smoking and it's illegal, why are you a special case?
are you really this dumb?

i am saying i would deserve to go to jail for smoking it!

if government becomes strict then it will stop people like me even trying it

As you are a law abiding citizen you should turn yourself in, you are a criminal. Go to jail.

i was 18

i am now posting at 34, different person back then. also who said anything about me being law abiding? you seem to have read this all wrong. i am saying i have no sympathy for those that break law and wouldnt have any for myself either. its like people who download or stream movies and then say well cinema is too expensive these days and i might end up buying dvd if i like it so its not even really illegal etc. doesnt mean i dont stream from time to time, i just dont dress it up.

NOW in the PRESENT i am saying if its a choice between total strictness or legalising drugs it i choose strictness.

With drugs and drink I don't like the thought of not being in control, I have been hammered about 3 times to the point I haven't been in control and hated it. The thought of chasing dragons and seeing things on Acid etc is not for me.
Mind you watching the City sometimes makes you think your on drugs, cant believe what your seeing.;)

you make no sense, keep making jokes because you cannot argue with what i am saying.

one last time

right now(not when i was a toddler,or a teen,or even in twenties) i believe in total strictness on drugs,i believe it will make the country better off
that means changes would be needed, i would not expect them to go after people in 2002, more sensible to get people who commit the crime now.

do you understand yet?

WEED,WEED WILL TEAR YOU APART

maybe that will make more sense to you.

Anyway the idea that harsher punishments stop people doing something is nonsense. In the Philippines now they're murdering drug users and nothing has changed. The only proven way to reduce the harmful effects of drugs on society is to decriminalise them and treat it as a public health issue.

if govt were strict enough on drugs on streets you would hope they would eradicate it from prison too
But they won't be able to eradicate them, I think you underestimate how common they are. Even if they did somehow manage to get rid of them by locking everybody up the country would go bust because so many of the tax payers would be behind bars.

maybe i underestimate but you are full of excuses for why poor old humans must have drugs and its not their fault

fuck re offenders,with new rules you put them back in jail

future generations will do less drugs than current, i am pretty sure of that

this is all ideal world debate right?

Not true, dealers and users are handing themselves in to the police fearing they'll be killed on the streets.

There is evidence of people doing drugs going back thousands of years, some people are just predisposed to it maybe. I refuse to accept the idea that criminalising people for what they want to do to their own body is an acceptable thing for a modern state to do. We're lagging behind the US in this, hardly a bastion of liberal thinking.

no trolling

you tell me,why would they re offend?

You are sending a convicted drug user to a place that is full of drugs. Then once they come out they can't get a job because they have a criminal record. You do know reoffending is a thing right? and the rates are huge in this country.
