You raise a good point.
The solution for prostitution is apparently to cut demand and not supply. The solution for drug use is apparently to cut supply and not the demand. Both are incorrect strategies. The reality is both will continue regardless of supply-demand dynamics. The real issue is the UK is the social acceptance of casual drug taking. A middle-aged teacher with three kids who does it for fun with her husband is a great example of social acceptance. My guess is her parents probably knew but turned a blind eye or at least some friends (who was she in the lounge with). Just as drink driving was once socially acceptable but through education and cultural change it is no longer acceptable, drug use has gone the other way. Drugs, especially marijuana usage has come out of the shadows and you now see more and more stoned middle aged people out in public and you smell it far more in public now than you did 20 years ago. And it's not always healthy. Some people think it's no different from having a bottle of wine at a dinner party, but it risks long term psychological and mental issues. I do wonder what the long term outcome of making drugs respectable will be. I've been traveling to the US for work trips recently and you also see so many drugged up youths begging on the streets. An American coworker said 20 years ago all the street beggars were old black men who had alcohol and drug abuse problems. Today they're all young white kids. He used to support pot legalisation but now thinks it's jumping out of the frying pan and into the fire situation. And I have to agree. I walked past one of these beggars last week, a young white chap, early 20s. His eyes were completely whacked out. Brain gone for sure. And it's all due to drugs. |

I have read recent reports that the largest demographic of people who have taken advantage of the legalization of pot in a number of US states are "young, less educated, white, men", so while there are certainly many people in various demographics who are now "partaking", chronic and frequent usage is often by those people who can least afford to deal with mental issues and depressed IQ (not, of course, that these effects are desirable for anyone!) Re the "out of the frying pan" angle, the risk of legalizing pot is two-fold. It is well known that pot is a gateway drug, so once you have tried that you are more likely to try something else, and secondly, and perhaps more concerningly, if the street dealers in pot have lost their market to legit "head shops", their backup plan to maintain their income is likely to be to push something else, so effectively doubling the risk of the "gateway drug" problem. All that said, I do think its a curious paradox that smoking tobacco has been in significant and continuous decline for at least 30-40 years in most of the industrialized world, while over the same time pot usage has tracked steadily upwards. |

Re: Drug Use
Interesting article in the Daily Telegraph today about cocaine use and seizure thereof in the EU. Use by 15 - 34 yr olds is up 15% in a year to 4.7% Of 15 - 64 yr olds 10.7% use or have used cocaine Seizure of cocaine last year was 12,000 incidents in France, 18,900 in UK and 42,000 in Spain. This accounted for 2/3 of the total seizures in all of the EU the UK, Spain and Italy account for 73% of the total of those requiring hospital treatment due to use of cocaine The UK has the highest use of ecstasy in the UK. |

Re: Drug Use
This story, and other reports, have all been lifted from the Daily Fail, who've also seen fit to use the dark arts and copyright images garnered via her social media page.
There's loads to this that doesn't add up and even the worst thieving scrote of a skaghead still has more morals than any of the so called "journalists" there. |

4 of the Tory leadership candidates have admitted taking class ‘A’ drugs in the past, and they want to run the country. |

Re: Drug Use
Only sane one in that group is Rory Stewart. His handicap is that he is a "one-nation Tory" The fact that his dad was the boss of MI5 might be a handicap.
I rather like him and I am neither Conservative nor Unionist I remember that in one of his books he describes how it was to smoke opium in Iran.! |

Re: Drug Use
How funny it would be if one of our future PMs isn't granted a new US visa due to lies about drug taking on previous visa applications. Although I must say a proper US visa (not just the ESTA) is not an easy form to complete.
