    the last thing you want to do is encourage its use. you will get all sorts of tossers who stay away from the stuff now trying it and getting addicted

    I never said encourage them, place huge amounts of tax on the produce and have control over supply.
    Use extra tax revenue for rehabilitation of users and prevention measures.

    huge tax will mean the drug dealers stay in business.

    lets say they start selling e`s at the local tesco. imagine the government warnings on them - 'may cause instant death'. Loads of emos will try them for that reason alone. some will hopefully die but we will also end up with a whole load more drug addicted emos around the place and that has to be universally a bad thing.

    This isn't After Hours. Post sensibly or just don't bother imo.

    I don't think emos exist any more (went out of fashion) and I don't think tesco will ever move into the narcotic trade.

    If you look at what the state is currently doing with methadone clinics is a form of decriminalising drug addicts. A good idea.

    What I would imagine would happen in the legalisation of drugs is that they would be distributed maybe through specialised pharmacies or a mechanism similar to that.

    I am not an expert and I've never really looked into how its done, but one thing I do know is that a war on drugs and drug crime is not winnable.

    There will be F**k all done until a Garda is killed by one of these scumbags. Then we might see some asskicking.

    How someone who drives around in a 30000euro car can be given a council house and free legal aid just beggers belief..........Appropriate people need to look elsewhere to see what works and implement it.

    My suggestion would be along the lines of what they did with Martin cahill. Have armed police parked outside their houses (or sitting on their garden walls), follow them everywhere they go and be quite open about it. Arrest them for every little thing. Harass them in every way possible. The notion that the Guards can't use electronic surveillance on these f**kers is a joke. Legislation in that regard needs to change.

    Bring in outside Gardai if intimidation is a problem. Hell, mask the Guards if they want.

    Hanging is too good for these scumbags so anything less should be acceptable.

    And what happens then is another generation of even more violent, more dangerous and better organised criminals/businessmen/scumbags will come along. Its happened before and will continue happening until we start to get to the source.
