      Not if u define winning as something impossible eg "remove all drugs today". But there are wins that are achieved such as protecting the NHS. Legalisation might open the floodgates, causing the NHS to become overloaded with heroin users whose breathing has slowed down too much. This could mean less money spent on eg curing cancer. Ultimately the win will come when scientists develop a way to stop opioids from working eg stopping them from binding to the opioid receptors in our brains

      It is very winable. But it requires a whole sale look at the law/punishment and to stop giving these scrotes easy get out clauses.
      Fact most drug dealers make most their money from the benefit system/council tax. Without benefits paying the rent the little cannabis operation would not work.

      There's a hard core of long-term benefit claimants who cʊd get a crap job eg cleaner but they're just like "i'm intelligent; life is short; u need to offer me a job that's well-paid & interesting or i'm just going to stay in bed"
      IMO the gov shud pay them handsomely to train as eg electricians.

    Every year it is the same old story.
    'We have taken another dealer of the street'
    Yeah? Well for the past 30 years - I have been able to get any drug when I want.
    But thanks to prohibition - I don't know the purity or if I am even getting the drug that I asked for which makes it very dangerous.
    If I could buy MDMA over the counter - I know that 100mg would be the perfect dose for me and would not have any problems.
    It makes sense to legalise and regulate all drugs.

Legalisation of class a would take it out the hands of gangs and criminals and the police would be free because crime commited to get the money would go down. People would also get help and rehabilitation. People don't see it like this!

    It's a fact, the more intense drug enforcement is, the faster the problem grows. That's what happens when you start busting drug dealers- you create a vacuum. You end up with 2, 3, 4 more dealers just to fill the void of the dealer you just took down. The problem grows exponentially. However, when you look at decriminalization, it's the exact opposite.
    It reduces overall use statistics more dramatically than a Filipino death squad.

      @@sassyhoe4557 You must not understand basic economics.
      Prohibition creates an artificial shortage in the supply chain. The shortage causes the value of said substance to skyrocket. Suddenly, a gram of heroin that costs $2.50 in Afghanistan, is worth $300 in America. These are the kind of profit margins that are so incredibly high, they have the potential to corrupt good people.
      People use drugs because the government told them not to. It's really that simple. People are oppositional- if you want them to speed down the highway, post speed limits, if you want them to use drugs, tell them not to. If you want them to STOP using drugs, shove them down their throat. It's basic reverse psychology, and it works for a majority of the population. Only a small minority of people would continue to use drugs if they were legal, and as far as I'm concerned, it's their life, and their right to do with it as they please.

    I felt sorry for him in that moment when he was on the floor with the drugs in his mouth. And then the officer talking about how this is going to make the area a safer neighbourhood. Because we know now that the war on drugs is fundamentally flawed, that what is needed is decriminalisation similar to what has happened in Portugal and Switzerland.

    Ultimately if a person (unfortunately) decides to consume drugs there isn't much law can do about it. Emphasis should be placed on educating people about these substances and showing them that they don't affect your life positively. But if a person still decides to use them it's their choice, why should anyone be able to tell anyone else what they can and can't put in their own body.

      Paul Gibbons no. Entrapment would be to supply the dealers with drugs then bust them. If he just sold from his own
      Stash to an undercover he does so off his own free will (he’s not encouraged or tricked by the cops to commit the crime but he’s willing) it wouldn’t be entrapment. Cops do undercover buys all the time. But it’s not easy with a lot of these guys. They very wary of new people. The cops like to make arrest straight away during a reverse buy, they don’t like to walk away and let the guy continue to sell to the community so multiple ‘buys’ are probably rarer, making that one undercover deal a big big risk that could blow their investigation & make the guys go under the radar for a bit. I’m guessing they would maybe do it after exhausting other investigative techniques. But is deffo not entrapment, he’s already dealing.
