Ingrid is free!

Good argument for abolishing drug laws.

People can't be stopped from ruining their lives but others can be hurt in attempting to prevent them from doing so.

I glad she and the 13 other were freed, but there are still plenty being held captive.

Good thing they finally managed to liberate them.

Well done to the spies who pulled off such a ballsy stunt!

Disagree entirely.... drugs cost money, so many petty thieves and burglars are druggies...

besides, even if legalisation of drugs drops the price right down, how are you then going to deal with the increase in health problems due to more people being happy to try the newly legalised products - "after all, if its legal it cant be that bad, can it?".

Then you have more issues - do you allow these people who are more than happy to inflict damage on themselves to clog up overloaded health care systems? Do you allow them pensions and social security and the like because they're too ill to work, because of drug use?

then, what about drugs that more often than not cause users to lose control of themselves, and subsequently cause damage to people, property etc. these drugs that are more prone to causing these sorts of issues are limited now because they're illegal, but hey, one puff of a bong can be enough to cause people to snap and have mental issues for life, do we support them also? ALL drugs are bloody dangerous and detrimental, difference IMO between caffeine/alcohol/nicotine and the illicit substances is that with the illicit substances just one dose can cause irreversible harm, i've never heard of someone having a sip of beer and never having full control of their faculties again!

yes i hate illicit drugs, i did last year when it came up and i hate it even more now since one of my best mates suicided 3 weeks ago by ODing. i say lock up the dealers and the growers and the importers.. for life, screw them. as for the users who'd suddenly be without their crutch, rehab until they prove they're clean!
