Sensible idea if you ask me. Get plod out dealing with real crime and not wasting my taxes on pointless budy budy politically inspired youth policing. Better for them to tackle the reasons why kids are not in school learning to better themselves and to make more arrests of the little ***** who smash the wing mirrors of cars for fun, or the lot round here who think it's funny to throw rocks at passing cars whilst their parents look on and do FA.
Common sense policing and legislation... well, you can't have you cake
and eat it you know :rotfl:
Sure, some substances can be very dangerous to some people (for a variety of reasons) but our government has been taxing the majority of us with the knowledge of lung cancer for decades. It all depends on what side of the tax revenue you sit on, amongst other things.
Weed changes brain chemistry and is baaad mm'kay?
Alcohol destroys your liver, alters brain chemistry and causes so much damage to our towns and cities on an average friday or saturday night; not forgetting how easy it is to give your nagging bitch of a wife a damn good belting when she complains that you've spent all night down the local pissing the social money up the wall... But all of that is ok it's established, traditional and taxed to ****.
Last time I had a smoke I was overcome by the desire to make some toast and a cup of tea and snuggle up with
her on the sofa to watch a bit of telly. Would I have had such a civilised and pleasant evening going to the pub in the middle of town with my better half being leered at and groped by drunken Neanderthals just itching to show their manly prowess to all and sundry by starting a fight for no better reason than because their limited intelligence cannot conceive of anything better?
Honestly, I don't think so.
