Does it piss anyone else off when know it alls who spend every night in the pub drinking and smoking try to preach about the evils of drug use . Right fair enough i know heroin crack meth etc ruin lives but i just find it a bit hypocritical.But i supouse if its legal it must be ok

You're wrong. Alcohol and tobacco are bought from reliably sourced and regulated sellers, other drugs fuel crime.

Legal drug = illegal drug that Mary Harney hasn't found out about yet

Which is why other drugs SHOULD be legal.

It's not unusual for people to adapt the moral high ground because their view is backed up by the law of the land.

Much the same way as it's not unusual for those who flout the law to imply that they are not really criminals because the law is stupid.

It's basically the same thing, one parties refusal to accept facts and the other refusal to accept facts. They should all just go off and **** and have really up their own hole kids.

But then you'll be legitimizing the actions of drug dealers!

Why do you hate our children?!

Aoifey!

Yes, it would be better if a lot of the illegal drugs were legalised so they could be regulated and taxed and not fund crime etc.

Yes, the legal drugs are as bad, if not worse, than a lot of the illegal ones.

But can we please give the drugs threads a rest for a while?!
