There has been some emotion displayed in the last week or so, prior to upcoming music festivals, about the 'need’ for taxpayers to provide pill testing services for young people silly enough to take illicit drugs.

To me, this would be an act of aiding and abetting drug use.

People who know that taking drugs is dangerous (and illegal), but who are demanding pill testing are suffering from cognitive dissonance.

The same thing applies to those people condoning 'safe injecting rooms’

Interfering in commerce can be a dangerous thing
Police officers all over this country get a large part of their income from not stopping the drug trade
Untrue? no sadly has been true for 100 years plus

Hey ttbn,
Everything happens in small steps.
They are going to have to legalise and regulate all this stuff when we have a cashless society.
These news stories and unfolding events are to condition you for whats coming.

"Police officers all over this country get a large part of their income from not stopping the drug trade"

Evidence?

None?

Yeah, didn't think so.

This is just a backdoor way of legalising these types of drugs. The government is trying to tell people that they have to be illegal because they're dangerous. Yet, through this process, they'll be telling people that these particular drugs are safe but still illegal. And from that, people will take the lesson that drugs aren't illegal because their unsafe.

Personally, I'm entirely in favour of complete legalisation of all drugs such that they can be sold openly just like tobacco and alcohol. The so-called war of drugs was lost a long time ago and can never be won. Legalise them, regulate them, tax them. Sure this will create other societal problems but anyone who thinks our current policy settings are desirable or sustainable is living in a fantasy-land.

yep make people reliant on the Government so nobody has to take responsibility for any of their actions. Surely we have learn't from patronising aboriginal communities in that it produces totally self centred people. Soon we will be wiping peoples bums.

AC,

I'm a bit surprised to see a fighter like you talking about the 'inevitability' of legalising dangerous drugs. While some administrations have de-criminalised weed, we are talking about really bad stuff here. Weed smokers will hardly notice the effect it has on their already dull brains, but death and mayhem? I don't think so.

runner,,

Yes. It could be part of the Far Left's trust-me-Im-from-the-government plot. I hope all “bum wiping” would be done by politicians themselves.
