Drug Use Isn’t Criminal

I do seem to have conflicting views on this subject in this video; I say we need to tackle the drugs trade but also seem to condone the legalisation of drugs. Substance abuse cause huge problems across society and can affect the smallest most hum-drum family to the biggest most powerful nation. The problem however is not the recreational users who take a pill or two at the weekend. It is the trade that should be targeted and not the individual users but to patronise these casual users by saying their use of recreational drugs is an illness is not going to combat anything. Legalisation of drugs is one of the only realistic ways of combating addiction and the shady world around drug trafficking, dealing and usage. It is the society around the drugs that are the problem, not the drugs themselves. To also claim that these drugs are more dangerous than alcohol or tobacco are quite frankly false. Look at the statistics www.drugscope.org.uk I also do not believe that legalisation would vastly increase drug usage. All the people who want to take drugs have found out ways of doing it by now, I dont think any flood gates will be opened, they will just stop being labelled the criminals.

    pretty much agree’d with you on the legalization business of drugs. Also on the recreational use of them. The statement that addiction to these drugs is an illness does hold some truth, when it is an actual addiction rather than casual use. But whose to say which is which. Its tricky. You can really only go case to case with this one.

    @AUTORECOVERYUK: no it isnt dont be fucking stupid no one who wants to take drugs lets the law stop them. no one has died directly because of smoking grass simply because it’s nowhere near as toxic or carcinogenic as tobacco FACT. Do some research it always amazes me how people think they know everything about drugs just because they DONT
    take them.

  3. AUTORECOVERYUK says:

    @bawsaq Just the kind of reply i would expect from another drug taking worshiper. Keep smoking your drugs and breaking the law. As its people like you that my taxes pay for when your in prison or in re hab. As for knowing nothing about drugs i think your wrong there but i am not lowering myself to your standards to show you breaking the law to get high is wrong. You keep on doing it you keep breaking the law. Have a happy lawless life and one day you will see how silly taking drugs are…

  4. bawsaq says:

    where do my taxes go then ya fuking retard? And yes I will keep getting high even if it’s just to piss off losers like you I’d rather people thought of me as a lawless scumbag than a boring friendless twat like you. And finally no that day will never come because I know the risks and I know It costs a lot of money but guess what I dont care it’s my state of mind and I’ll alter it if i want.

    @bawsaq Silly little boy with a big mouth. Any luck it’ll kill you

    It doesn’t matter what you inhale. Any undissolved particulates in the lungs can and will lead to cancer.

    This Government do not mind you killing yourself providing the revenue/cost is worthwhile.

    As most drug takers are self mutilating scumbags who earn little if nothing for the state, its too costly to allow.

    @bawsaq YOU NEED TO GET OUT MORE DUDE

  10. dannylovinglisa says:

    @pamew SO WHY SMOKE IT THEN IS IT BECAUSE YOUR A REBEL WITHOUT A CAUSE STILL GOIN THROUGH PUBERTY WHEN YOU GET THROUGH IT STOP THE DRUGS AND GET OUT AND FUCK SOME WOMEN ITS MUCH MORE FUN THAN WANKING WHILST STONED

  11. pamew says:

    @dannylovinglisa That should be “you’re a rebel” not “your”. And I’m an adult with a full time job who just happens to smoke rather than drink. So I guess that just leaves you with your homoerotic thoughts of me masturbating. Good luck with that champ.

    The one thing i would strongly disagree with is the “casual use of heroin” its prety much impossible to use heroin casually. But the people addicted should not be charged, maybe some form of compulsary rehab where attending treatment would hold back a criminal charge, a bit like the probation system so if they step out of line they do get charged. Coke is also highly addictive but i do know some people who use it “casually” but i think they are tempting fate. Health matter not a criminal one!

  13. edotdeeney says:

    The notion that using soft drugs leads someone to using harder and harder drugs is only true now because people are getting their drugs from drug dealers who’ll make more profit from the harder stuff. Imagine buying your drugs from a pharmacist who’d offer you proper advice and safety tips about its use. Leah Betts tragically died from drinking too much water – advice given to ravers – and not from the effects of ecstacy. I don’t use drugs at all but I want those who do to have proper advice.

    @AUTORECOVERYUK

    “All drug users are ill or they would not be doing it”

    I’ll remind you that next time you have a cup of coffee,

  15. AUTORECOVERYUK says:

    @pamew Thats a good idea but you will have a long wait as i dont drink the stuff or tea come to that. Oh and i dont drink alcohol so it looks like i am not addicted to anything. Except work. Perhaps thats why i own 3 thriving companies which keeps me busy and employs several people. So having a clear head and not drinking or doing drugs has looked after me in life. But there again just think where i could of been if i was a drug taking pot head. Oh yer i could be in prison or on the streets .

  16. pamew says:

    @AUTORECOVERYUK.

    “drug taking pot head”

    Try to seem older. please try.

    As for “in prison or on the streets.”

    Anyone who managed to get themselves locked up or homeless through cannabis use, has much bigger issues than ingesting cannabis.

    Also, nice to see you simultaneously make a blanket statement, and big yourself up.

    You seem like a really nice, considerate man.

    I’m just kidding, you’re a cunt.

  17. AUTORECOVERYUK says:

    @pamew Words of wisdom from a person who smokes drugs i gues. Well you know what i might be a “cunt” but i’m a clear level headed hard working happy “cunt” who has never been addicted to a man made drug i’ve never had a criminal record or ever been out of work in my life. So if thats what a “cunt” is , I’ll happily be one over someone who needs drugs to get through life. So thank you for your wisdom and wish you luck in your world of drugs.

    @pamew I see from your channel on you tube your a little boy of 22. So at your age you aint got much of an idea on life have you. When your a little older and been around life a bit more not just lived your life on you tube facebook and google earth then come back and tell me i know nothing. I was in the forces before you was born little boy protecting places so little boys like you could grow up and have a sad life of drug taking. Now i think i hear your mummy calling its bed time for you…

  19. pamew says:

    @AUTORECOVERYUK That should be “you’re* a little boy of 22.” And I’m 20. And “your” is the possessive form. If YOU’RE going to try to patronise me in written format, make sure you can actually frame YOUR basic sentences properly.

  20. AUTORECOVERYUK says:

    @pamew Who cares if i made a couple of mistakes LITTLE BOY. You understood it and got the point. So perhaps now you’ll grow up. Oh and if you put your age is 22 on your you tube channel when you are now saying you are 20 what else is a lie coming from you. Night night sleep tight dont let the bed bugs bite…

  21. pamew says:

    @AUTORECOVERYUK Not that I need to explain this to you, but My age is two years younger than stated on my profile because I had to up for a US adult account in order to view and save videos related to school work such as film studies. I can’t help it if a system requires you to input an age higher than your own to let you see material you need.

    You’re the one being immature here…

    @pec104

    Lol… I have to somewhat agree…
