Does anyone who has done illegal drugs think there should be greater restrictions on them?

Answer 1

I think Pot should be legal, but I favor restrictions on most of the others.

Answer 2

On Pot No! Some restrictions but If it was legally obtainable little old ladies wouldn't end up in court! It's got some great medicinal properties but is only available legally for MS and most Doctors don't EVEN know about it! They still need to emphasise the risks and side effects as they are doing with alcohol so that people can make up their own mind! How many out there say total ban yet think nothing of boozing their week-ends away or grabbing the pills at the first twinge of pain! A drug's a drug legal or not! It would also take it out of the hands of pushers whose soul aim is to get kids onto harder drugs!!
Other illegal drugs yes! They are far more deadly!

Answer 3

yes, drugs should have restrictions placed on them, only under the control of the law can we guarantee consistency and weight, and we can be sure the person buying it is over the legal limit...

criminals just want your money, they dont really care about the punters.. take the dealers out, replace them with legalised taxed franchises.

conseravtively 5million people smoke pot, thats 1.25million ounces at say £120 , thats a staggering 150 million pounds a year, just allowing us to buy a 1/4 a week... what if im wrong, and its 10 million people... can we afford to ignore a source of income greater than the combined output of manufacturing in the west midlands, thats 300million per year... cut out 50million for red tape and bollocks.. and the govt is on a nice earner... and the folks who like a smoke after a stressful day will quite happily pay the tax to enjoy a spliffy after news at ten...

otherwise its outside the law and out of the controls of law enforcement agencies...

Answer 4

Heroine, cocaine, LSD, anything like that put the boots to em'. But leave pot heads alone, the die hard drunks are a far greater danger. Don't have a problem with drinking, just the *ssholes that get out of control. For that matter if pot was legalized, how much revenue would the govt get? Probably allot more than they needed to crack down on the serious drugs.

Tax on it? Hell yea, no smuggling. The govt grows it (or over sees) lot cheaper than sneaking it, everybody wins. And by the way "junkies" and "smack heads" were covered in the first sentence I wrote.

Answer 5

Smoking pot causes lung cancer
It also addles the brain, in some folk that will make little difference, see answers.

I know several young people who have had their lives ruined by pot at University.

I think anyone who sells drugs to a person under 18, should be classed as a paedophile, because that is what they are doing defiling a child.

Answer 6

Drugs are a reality they won't go away while there is a demand, it is a complicated issue but I think the recreational drugs amphetamine (sulphate), M.D.M.A crystals, L.S.D and cannabis should be made legal and sold at special controlled outlets.What makes these drug more dangerous is that they are illegal, you don't know what your getting and you are introduced to the criminal world this is where you are more likely to move to harder drugs depending on your personality. If you made these drugs legal the demand for harder drugs would fall because you are cutting a common pathway to them.

Answer 7

I take the position that once you become an adult you should have the right to ingest any substance that you like.

So make street drugs legal and tax them already.

This war on drugs is expensive and largely ineffective. All it does is make criminals out of casual users, and professional criminals rich. It causes loss of life and fills up our prisons.

Over a hundred years ago they didn't have drug laws like this. People were largely sober. THe biggest problem was alcohol not drugs.

Answer 8

Smack & Crack yes there should be.

The others depends really on who u are with. The hardest drug ive had is ketamine, but i was with people who knew what they were doing & who i trusted to look out for me, (which they always have done) But then again, there should be restrictions anyway on a horse tranquilizer. (thats what ket is afterall)

Cannabis should be made legal cos thats all i smoke. Gave up smoking cigs in april 2000.

Answer 9

Yes.

Marajuana should never be legalised/Tolerated in UK, it would end up like Amsterdam, full of junkies and smackheads.
I gave up cannabis when I was 19 and am I glad, Now ive seen some of my buddies that smoke it, They wont do anything, they wont speak and when they do speak it either yes or no and thats it, I hate to be rude but its like trying to speak to a cabbaged person.

So yes there should be an absolute ban on all drugs no class'es just a complete ban and sufficiant penalty.
As we all know Marajuana gets folk to try other things, Ive tried most, XTC, WHIZZ, COKE, ACID, GHB, All the recreational ones exept smack and Ket.

Some of my people still take them and they look right knobs when they are smacked up to their eyeballs.

Drugs mate, Its a mugs game.

Answer 10

Severe restrictions lead to things going underground and brings all that badness with it, hard to find an even balance.
