With 3 recent cocaine-related deaths still dominating the headlines and the heartbreak still fresh in everyone’s minds, I’m completely shocked to see that every media source in the country is being bombarded with calls and messages from people who say they would like to see drugs legalised. Can someone please tell me what the fuck these people are thinking? They wait until they get a nice-sized group of coke heads dropping dead in a short space of time AND THEN say they want drugs to be legalised?! Why did these idiots not voice their opinions two or three weeks ago? No sane government official is going to entertain the notion of an actual, proper debate after this mess, surely? It’s highly unlikely, at best.

So I suspect that we won’t be seeing changes to our drugs laws any time soon, despite the fact that every person in the country capable of cognitive thought knows that these laws don’t work, never have and never will. People are still going to overdose, crash cars, jump from ridiculous heights or kill themselves in some other equally ingenious manner, regardless of whether the drug was bought in backstreet transaction or over the counter in Boots. No amount of wanky laws are going to stop people from being stupid so perhaps the government should outlaw stupidity instead? It’s got an equal chance of success…

Personally, I’m all for the legalisation and regulation of the drugs trade. Whilst I don’t want to fund any criminal activity, I do, from time to time, want to get fucked off my face on substances that our government doesn’t allow. And to be fair, it’s none of their fucking business if I do.
