mjpd67: sad, what drugs can do to a young life
Young? He was 46
I have a great idea. It just came to me. He died from heroin, so I think ..... wait for it, this is a great idea.... we should make heroin illegal. Whatcha think of that? Like totally criminalise it, even small amounts. For larger amounts we could lock people up for years and years in prison. Maybe spend billions on cops and customs and all the surveillance but sure it would be worth it to stamp out heroin use. Now I know some people will say that this will only create criminal gangs who will make fortunes off selling heroin and that these gangs will have so much money they will start buying guns and shooting people but there's an easy answer to that .... we get more cops with guns. Yeah, it's expensive, but I'm sure nobody would mind paying €1000 a year in taxes to get rid of heroin, right?

and tune into my local 96.1 fmHe was good in Charlie Wilson's war. It's a good film too about how the CIA founded al Qaeda to fight the Soviet Socialists

It seems that he was clean for 23 years until he started to drink again last year and then started taking drugs again. He even went into rehab to control the addiction but obviously it didn't work. It's a very sad story. He was an excellent actor. LadyBlackAdder: It seems that he was clean for 23 years until he started to drink again last year and then started taking drugs again.

The western world is filling up with cheap high-grade heroin. Since the Taliban were ousted from Afghanistan and the 'good guys' took over, heroin production has gone up thousands of times. That one country now produces 92% of the world's heroin. It's not shipped out by the tonne, it's shipped out a couple of hundred tonnes at a time. But not to worry the Americans are about to put the Taliban back in power so they shold start to curb production in a few years.
mjpd67: the authorites will never win the war on drugs, to well organised now ran like a military operation,and the rewards outweigh the risk
Oh come on, a bunch of junkies and hippies! And the best equipped forces on the island out to get them and the hippies are still winning? Surely it's not meant to be won? What would all those over-paid people do with themselves if there was no eternal war on drugs to buy them flashy suits? Get an actual job? Perish the thought
But how would we fight the war on drugs without a State? We wouldn't.

drugs = money = greed = no win situationBut how would we fight the war on drugs without a State? We wouldn't.
mjpd67: drugs = money = greed = no win situation
Drugs + Prohibition = Profit to be made in drugs
No State = No Prohibition = No Profit = No Gangs = Less Crime = Less spread of disease and addiction

just another formula for the same thing eventually No State = No Prohibition = No Profit = No Gangs = Less Crime = Less spread of disease and addiction

You must have misread it. You are saying that the war on drugs is unwinnable and that that is a no win situation. I agree. But I am saying that it's the State's prohibition on drugs that is making them a valuable commodity and that that is the problem. It's like when the American woman voted for alcohol prohibition and the result was crime gangs in every town running bootleg alcohol. That's where the Mafia and the Kennedy's got their power and money from. It's the same today in every mojor Irish town. Scumbags would normally be driving bangers and robbing hub-caps are armed to the teeth and they have more money than the know what to do with.
The jokes on us though because we pay for the cops and we pay for the criminals when they get caught. It's a costly racket for us. And that's not even counting when it comes to your own door through crime or addiction.
