tbh its no wonder, its shit up here and I can go out tonight and get a kilo of coke, crack, heroin - anything I wanted. The police forces are cut to the brink of death ( this is good in some ways but obviously not in others )
It's about time politics changed - the past 10 years has KILLED Scotland! SNP and Torys to blame imho!

The Home Office said it had no plans to decriminalise drug possession and that doing so would not eliminate crime associated with the illicit drug trade.
Does this mean they want to fully legalise all drugs? That would make a significant impact on organised crime for sure....

I don't know but this is weird. I have lost someone very dear to me to heroin and for me the fact that they want to decriminalize drug possession is insane. I still can't forgive myself that I was not able to save my family from the clutches of heroin.
That is one of the reasons why I went into medicine, to help people fight addiction and disease and whatever the world will throw at us. I have been trying to create a more affordable rehab center for those in need, since not everyone is willing to pay for LINK REMOVED since it usually takes a long time to get the person of it and they can easily find alternatives in the forms of pills (Oxycodine anyone?). It is important thought for people to know that there are rehab centers out there and that we as a society want to help those addicted as much as we can. I think that we owe it to ourselves as humans.
So when I hear something like that it pisses me off
