You finally off then.

Off? Where?

You mean are folk so bored witless with your poorly thought out trolling (me, me, me) posts that they feel compelled to quit the forum?

I'm here to stay boyo, so watch your step.

Why exclude pensioners? Do a lot of them take drugs?
I didn't suggest locking anybody up, but a campaign to remind users they're fuelling a societal problem wouldn't go amiss.

Because we don't have stats on how many of them are using illicit drugs. That 2.9 million are under pension age.

And that's also been tried, it's even more ineffectual and fails. Its a waste of money.

Do you think we can believe what people say about drug use, pensioners or otherwise?

And that's also been tried, it's even more ineffectual and fails. Its a waste of money.

What's your solution?

So you think drugs use is more prevalent than 2.9 million non-pensioners? In which case it's even more that need to be punished!

We should accept reality. Some illicit drugs are very dangerous, some like Cannabis are not as dangerous and are less risky than legal drugs like tobacco or alcohol. We need to stop running around moralising and look at things sensibly.

sounds like you'd better drink more in that case.

What has? Apart from government saying they disapprove of drug taking, which everybody knows anyway. Something stronger might help, like the anti-speeding and DUI ads we used to be treated to.

I'd agree with most of that, cannabis is already largely decriminalised if not legal. Maybe extend decriminalisation in stages to harder drugs. Reduce the gangs' profits and control the quality. Those who express horror at the thought of the state endorsing drug use (which wouldn't be the case) would have a point if the current approach weren't a complete failure.

You are one the most insecure, attention craving, weak minded individuals, I have ever encountered on a forum. Lying and trolling your way through posts is not your best look, no.

Is that from your self help podcast.
You are supposed to give yourself positive affirmations not a self evaluation.

There's a section for those with zero personality that love money/hate women. Would it be OK if I use some of your posts as examples?

The gangs will still compete with the legal outlets for market share

They’ll have a cheaper stronger product
