To be honest I disagree about the responses toJoshuas question
Its more likely they would do something over cannabis as its cannabis they seem to deal with most in the drugs raids, probably because its the most popular drug and theres more weed dealers than anything else because as the perceived smaller risk
If you told the police it would give them the info to go the magistrates to get a drugs warrant. Thats pretty much how they get their info for their drugs warrants
Apart from alcohol being far worse than anydrug in my opinion cannabis skunk is also a major underrated problem with people committing offences to pay for it unlike the perceived a bit of weed a week for a sly smoke image
Now its £20 a 2g bag people are smoking 1,2 or 3 a day and thats a lot of money to find for that harmless drug that should be legalised!!
interesting to hear your view.
one point though. 1-3 2g bags a day? the number of people who abuse cannabis to that level is, considerably less, that those who abuse heroin and coke. that's put into question the major underrated problem, of theft to support the habit.
your average pot user is the guy sat next to you at work, on the bus/train or down the pub. they work, support their families, and cause no trouble to society and have a bill for their habit of about £40-60 per week, which they pay for by working. this fact has always affected how it was policed.
personally i feel the major problem with all drugs is, their prohibition, this forces their sale and supply into the hands of organised crime. now whether you agree with their use, or not. that's the daftest place to have it. and with 5-6 million users, pot could be a real revenue for the government. this would also allow it to pay its way, for any problems, its use cause society.
alcohol, conversely, needs much tighter restriction. it is an incredibly dangerous drug, and costs this country a fortune. we need much tighter restrictions on its use and sale.
