"This year is the 50th anniversary of Westminster telling the world that its Misuse of Drugs Act (1971) would stamp out illegal drugs for ever. The act failed utterly, but it has never been repealed. Among other horrors, the industry it created now enslaves an estimated 27,000 children and teenagers, some as young as eight, in “county lines” drug gangs. The government has no answer but to throw a few of them in jail."

Never give advice. Wise men don't need advice. Fools won't take it.

I wonder how many people that walk into Parliament have smoked weed or taken any sort of street drugs!The Aspie Toker wrote: ↑Fri Jan 15, 2021 7:36 pm"This year is the 50th anniversary of Westminster telling the world that its Misuse of Drugs Act (1971) would stamp out illegal drugs for ever.

Certainly failed that's for sure. But sadly it's created an industry all of it's own.
