      Hmmmm. Actually MOST people have never and don’t ever do drugs of any kind, and certainly not class A drugs. Most of us know how to have a good time without snorting white powder up our noses. (In a later tweet I will make a strong case for imbibing Sancerre though.)https://twitter.com/tomhfh/status/1137374926938284034 …

      turns out most politicians are basically normal people who have all dabbled in less than legal substances. the real question is who’s the dweeby leadership candidate who has never tried anything fun going to be?

      Not true- most data I’ve seen show a clear majority of the public have smoked weed at some point yet it’s still under prohibition - driving gang crime and livelihood devastation for literally no reason.

      No, that’s not true. 70% of people have NEVER used illegal drugs, including cannabis. Only 9% of people have used illegal drugs in the past year - and most do so very occasionally. These stats are consistent across a whole range of surveys. Drugs use is NOT normal.

          It is overwhelmingly normal to have tried an illegal drug at some point in your life. usually cannabis. your 70% figure is nonsense.

          Thanks for quoting these stats, Julia. I'm a very free-market, free-society liberal in a lot of ways, but one way in which I'm not at all is when it comes to drugs. I've seen far too many lives destroyed, and far too much motivation robbed.

          So instead of having drugs regulated to ensure their safety you would rather it be run by criminal empires who contribute to the majority of knife crime in major cities, and are free to spike them with whatever substances they wish or tamper with strength as they have a monopoly?

          That isn't going to change with regulation. Those (now-non) criminal empires will not suddenly disappear. These are people who simply don't "do" regulation! It will only drive them further underground. Making drug use socially acceptable simply takes the microscope off the issue.

          Why would anyone in their right mind go and buy drugs for a back alley dealer when there's a shop selling them 2 streets away? Look at all the evidence where cannabis has been legalised in 10 US states and decriminalised in a further 15.

          If they wanted a different strain to the ones "approved"... if they wanted more than an allowance "approved"... if they wanted to continue making money by re-dealing... endless reasons. Legalisation means we no longer have the microscope on these affairs, so we wouldn't notice.

          Violent crime has decreased sharply in all of the states which have legalised, as the power of drug gangs reduces sharply as they lose the vast majority of their customers.

          What the stats won't show is what's still going on underneath, which we're no longer investigating because the usual route towards identifying the drug barons comes from working through users who are caught. The coercive, abusive supply chains abroad are certainly still there!

          You think they just stop investigating crime after legalisation?😂😂 Caught doing what exactly? What stupid users will still buy product for which is impossible to ascertain quality, potency, chemical make up, when you can get it from a shop with all that info?

          Correct Julia. Once again the elite view of drugs (formed in London) is at odds with the rest of the UK (I would imagine eapecially true of cocaine). I guess that’s why county lines exploits a growing market elsewhere?
