        @BBCNews I agree to a point but did you really have to show such close up and detailed footage of drug use?

        @BBCNews finally common sense. What is the thinking behind crimilisation, Aware of damage caused by addiction legal or not. No continuity.

        @BBCNews it's a life choice to take drugs and people who choose to do that and break the law should face harsher punishment not pampering

        @BBCNews Distributing it should definitely be a criminal offence, but using it? No, addicts should be given help & care, not prison.
