Its a pity really that this thread keeps being revisited time and again, one would have thought that it would have run its course, but apparently not, just wondering what mileage some body thinks is still left in this nonsense

The debate goes on but people like you wish to bury your heads in the sand! Your the nonsense - you just ignore things you don't want to hear - if you got nowt constructive to say, then say nowt!

Sane words ... and all of them correct ... I think all democratic nations have reached the point where the public debate has run its course. The ones totally opposed to legalization will not change their minds; and the ones in favour are equally adamnant. And the ones who don't give a flying-you-know-what ... I'm in this group ... will go on merrily flauting or obeying unenforceable laws as they see fit. And, to be honest, I do think that governments, particularly in the US and Europe, have much more important things to occupy themselves with. And the poor sods in Central and South America will continue to suffer until the yanks, who actually control this debate, decide to do the right thing. Wasn't it Churchill who said: "You can always count on the Americans do the right thing once they've tried everything else"? Or something along those lines.

Ya everything boils down to the Yanks Eric, and as you agree this debate HAS run its course, no matter how many links are entered on here. this is the last time I comment on this tripe, it will end up someone posting to himself

Ring a ring of roses a racket full of posers, atissue atissue your nose drops off.
That sums up coke, do we have to go round and round for all the other false highs?
Yes, I include booze in that, isn't it time this thread and it's starter were put away?
Lets close the thread, No-one with the smallest amount of sense needs it, the rest are too stoned to read it!

Why close it? As there is always new information about the subject such as, and this was on the news few days ago - there are 9,000 alcohol related deaths every year in the UK, up 50% since 1990! That is a serious increase.

So the abuse of booze and illegal drugs and newly created illegal highs have increased at the same time (though some research says drug use has fallen) - only difference is - booze is legal and cheap.

Alcohol related - doesn't necessarily mean the person who died had been using alcohol, making that statement somewhat ambiguous & misleading.
