Again - good for you too. Alcoholics like getting/being drunk too.

Me too.

No issue. I was merely pointing out that BOTH alcohol and drugs have their own demons.

To clear it up, you used like getting drunk, but you aren’t -n alcoholic? And the highway chap, likes getting drunk, but “is” and alcoholic?

I’m not looking to argue. It just seems a little unfair

He is when you get used to him, I don't mind him tbh as sometimes he is ok. He won't be like the way he is on here in real life as he would be hated. Just a bit immature and full of himself.

Maybe he was “Top Boy” before you turned up.

I just can’t see what the issue is, you like a drink, he did, you like to get drunk, he did. But you’re being low level accused of being an alcoholic!!

I think you have hit the nail on the head. Before I appeared he probably thought he was king pin, I took that away from him and quickly rose to become No1 on here. I have a confident, and charismatic presence that people are drawn to and it plays on him.

are you suggesting it would be better to give more people the opportunity to buy drugs much simpler than the system currently is

I haven't suggested that.

Let me see now

We sell alcohol, which is harmful and addictive, in premises, and supervised by people, who have been approved and licenced for that purpose, and under legal control, at controlled times, and to people of qualified age, and who are not intoxicated. If they breach the conditions of that licence, it can be revoked and they can go out of business. The strength of the substances they sell is controlled, and it is not permitted to be adulterated with harmful substances. The premises can be inspected at any time, the vendor must be able to prove that they acquired the products legally, tax paid, and test purchases are made to verify that under-age people are not supplied. Tax is paid on the businesses profits, and the wages of the staff, and on the alcohol sold.

Are you suggesting that it would be better to sell alcohol down dark alleys, by unknown people, with no regulation and control, without paying tax, where the profits feed international organised crime, when the strength and purity of the substance is unknown and uncontrolled, and a child can buy it as easily as an adult?

No I am saying that I am perfectly satisfied the way things are at the moment with regards the legality of drug sales and usage. Illegal.

I am surprised you say you are satisfied that harmful and addictive products are sold down dark alleys, by unknown people, with no regulation and control, without paying tax, where the profits feed international organised crime, when the strength and purity of the substance is unknown and uncontrolled, and a child can buy it as easily as an adult.

Do you have business interests in organised crime?

Don't be ridiculous I am not saying any of that, I am saying that I am satisfied that alcohol is sold as it is and legal and I am glad that illegal recreational drugs are not sold on the same basis.
