Hey ttbn,
"I'm a bit surprised to see a fighter like you talking about the 'inevitability' of legalising dangerous drugs."
That doesn't necessarily mean I'd support legalising and regulating all the hard stuff; but I don't see any other way it would go under a cashless society system.

- And if they've already decided were going cashless eventually then they must have a plan in mind for dealing with the issue -

The only answer I can see is legalise and regulate.

They will tell us how much the current system costs and the benefits of the new system with regulation.
- To pay for all these necessary social programs -
They'll do it with weed, say its been a great success and then slowly bring in the rest.
In the US buying government regulated recreational drugs will nullify any right to firearms.
So in the US it's also a part of an agenda to take the guns.

Regarding weed, I do think it should be legal on the basis that there should be a legal alternative for those going through messy breakups.
I don't think that alcohol should be the only legal option other than prescription antidepressants.
- I believe it would lower crime and domestic violence -

AC,

I'm apparently missing something. What does a cashless society have to do with drugs?

People need cash to buy drugs, take away cash and they won't be able to buy drugs.
It's a way down the track yet but we'll see where things are closer to 2030 (if we're all still here).
I'll bet I'm right, it's going in that direction.

Just think of the costs involved in trying to
save the lives of kids who unknowingly are
misled into taking the wrong drugs at music
festivals. Kids who end up losing their lives.
If pill testing can reduce drug taking because
some people will discover that the drug itself
is not what they think it is - then surely it's
worth giving it a trial. Pill testing just may
reduce drug taking rather than increase it.

There's no evidence that pill testing encourages
drug taking and that has been the evidence
from Britain and Europe where they've been having
drug checking for several years now.

Saving lives - it's worth giving it a go.

NSW Royal Commission in to Mr Asia Syndicate was one of many showing police protected drug dealers
As high up as chief magistrate and Commissioner of police Merv Wood
Other such as the Wood Royal Commission in Queensland followed even seeing a Knighted police commissioner in prison
Drugs both kill and breed dirty cops
