Switzerland considering legalising Cocaine for recreational use

I wouldn't like to see a return of the head shops, but wouldn't mind a tightly controlled mechanism for recreational use. Possibly a permit which needs to be renewed yearly following a physical/mental check by your doctor. Controlled quality product and education on the dangers etc. There would still be a black market of course but would really cut the arse out of the drug dealers.

Will it happen in ireland? No, never, not in a million years.

Have the Swiss the climate or means to produce cocaine?

If so, fair enough. If not where will they get their supply from?

Legalising or decriminalising in one country doesn’t mean a whole lot if you still have to source from head choppers in Mexico and Colombia.

Maybe that is the way Switzerland wants to decimate the number of their citizens. Instead of euthanasia 🇨🇭 have a little snort up your nose and we will get rid of you earlier and pay you no pension.

Guns and knives are not drugs. They are both illegal to have but that's where the comparison ends.

yep. there's the whole argument that drugs should be treated as a public health issue rather than a criminal one.

I honestly don't know how I feel about cocaine being legalised. It's cocaine for fecks sake. But at the same time I certainly don't know much about it's recreational use or how safe pharmaceutical grade stuff would be,m or how strong it will be, or how it would be distributed/sold. I don't want to go all Helen Lovejoy, but won't someone think of the children. It's hard enough to keep 14 year olds away from drink, never mind cocaine.

Having said all that, I would be interested in seeing the proposal. One of the reasons I want to see weed legalised is because it will remove it as a product from drug dealers. the end goal is good and it's worthy discussing if it's possible to get there.
