The London Mayor...

[Odds]

If I were then it would have read Alcoholics/Junkies

I do mean drinkers and drug users. Drinkers see themselves and their mates in a better light to their drug using counterparts and wont see their own drug use in the same way because it's legal.

Ask any Police officer, paramedic, Doctor or Nurse who causes them most trouble. How many drinkers end up in court compared to drug users.

How much does drunken crime cost us as opposed to that caused by drug users.

BTW: I have smoked cannabis twice in my life in the 70's and just understand it's attraction.

Well, one is illegal by the state so it's not a fair comparison; however...

There were 45,096 adults in alcohol and drug treatment in prisons and secure settings between 1 April 2021 and 31 March 2022. Numbers in treatment had been decreasing year on year until this year, which saw a 3% increase from the 43,607 reported in 2020 to 2021.

Around three-quarters (33,275, 74%) of these people started treatment during this year, a similar proportion to 2020 to 2021 (71%). Of the people starting treatment, 46% said they had a problem with opiate use, the lowest proportion seen since reporting began.

The proportion of people starting treatment for opiates, crack or both has been decreasing steadily from an all-time high recorded in 2017 to 2018 (60%). Fifty-four per cent reported problems with these substances in 2021 to 2022.

You seem to be stuck in a loop, old stick.
A sure sign of Echolalia. You should get it checked out.

There are deep seated cultural reasons why one is and the other isn’t. Like why we eat lambs but not puppies.

Right now roughly the same proportion of Brits smoke tobacco as smoke cannabis.

Cannabis is as much a part of our current culture as smoking cigarettes. Except it's probably safer.

You support decriminalisation?

You support decriminalisation?

For cannabis, yes. Probably legalisation as well.

This thing of a mayor is the lowest form of organism in our society.
He's destroyed London, knife crime up, robberies up, rape and sexual assaults up, burglaries up, violent crime up, etc , etc.
Now he's announced that he wants to build tower blocks (aka dormitories) on the green belt and local green areas, a total u-turn from its pledge.
And the communists still praise it...
Until violent crime finds its way to them, their kids and their relatives...
Which by the way things are going, it will be anytime now.
I live in London and go around London in different areas: the city has become a dump and there are zero police officers in sight, ZERO.

Childish rant from a clueless bigot.

The biggest criminals in this country are in the Tory party and Reform party.

Not really true, is it?

London is now second on the world list of green cities (pipped to the post by Tokyo) and thanks to the Khan's wise policy to curb car pollution in the capital, London holds a respectable position in the European league table:

But we can do better - the decriminalisation proposal is another far sighted policy that allows police resources to be better deployed in tackling real crime.
