An alcohol licence is not a licence to sell drugs.

An alcohol licence is to sell alcohol at the moment. If cannabis was to be legalised it could very easily be added to the alcohol licence to sell intoxicating drugs.

You will be shocked when you find out how many wives have been beaten up, how many innocent passers by, how many bar staff, by drinkers.

I too hold a personal licence John.. I also ran my own door, I saw not only drunks but a lot of drug infused customers causing more of a problem.

Correct. Highwayman made that up. He wanted to construct a strawman.

Isn't that always the case on here, say something that may be construde as something else, the trolls are all over it.

I agree that highwayman trolls.

It could but it probably wouldn't. Nobody is suggesting they would be...apart from you.
Tokers and topers are never likely to share the same space equably.

It makes no sense to legalise something that melts your brain. In a country where not enough people are productive to pay for the services they want to use, why would we encourage something that makes this worse.

Whisky and vodka, for example.

So where are your licensed premises for taking recreational drugs going to be John? Will they be existing premises or are you thinking building new purpose built drug dens?

In Germany, for example, Cannabis for personal use has been legal since April 1, 2024. Anyone over the age of 18 can grow up to three cannabis plants and keep up to 50 grams of cannabis at home. Adults can also carry up to 25 grams of cannabis on their person in public spaces.

On July 1, 2024, Germany introduced Cannabis Social Clubs (CSCs). Joining a CSC is the main way to legally access cannabis in Germany. CSCs are not shops, they are Vereine (associations). In order to join a CSC you must be at least 18 years old and have been a legal resident in Germany for six months or more.

But it limits the amount a person can legally consume and allows a more responsible approach to consumption - something prohibition has failed to prevent. Even Chiefs of police admit the war on drugs is a failure.
