I know, showing pity, and kindness to the feeble, has always been a mill-stone around my neck.

Class, churchfcrules, pure class!
Have you ever read 'How to Win Fiends and Influence People'?
I wouldn't bother, it would probably be wasted on you.

By inference you appear to suggest we should allow them and if the economy is brought to it's knees so be it! Or perhaps your post is badly put together and I misunderstood?
Perhaps they're not allowed because they're bad for you? That would not seem unreasonable.
As for 'the lower classes' seeking escapism from their pitiful lives, what year do you think it is, 1812 not 2012? Most of the people on Accyweb appear to be ordinary working class people, members of the 'lower classes'(couldn't you have put that better?). I doubt if many of them feel they have lived pitiful lives or know anyone else who has.

Wasn't it just the same up Abbey St. in the seventies?

Wasn't Accy Con's dance floor filled with couples pilled up to their eye-balls, whizzing speedily through a quick-step?

Didn't people openly nip into local boozer's bogs to have a cheeky line in the early eighties?

Surely in the past jobless young people passed their time sat playing Lu-do, and smoking weed with their friends?

No?

Well I'll be damned, perhaps there has been an explosion in drug usage!

What does surprise me is that people make assumptions about others without knowing anything about their background or what they do. In the short time I have been a member of this forum I have been amazed at how often some people make comments about things they don't fully understand, but the idea of a forum is to promote debate, however ill-informed their comments might be.
At least I try to make an attempt at debate as opposed to simply putting down what others say without making a contribution to the actual debate itself.

Well you actually seem to do that every time you post that will be about 69 times so far

Who's not allowed to take them, if they so wish, because of their legal staus?

I don't no any.

Although I know lots who do use them.

Now.

It'll take a better dope than you, if someone's capable of making that happen.

For those poor souls, lacking the concentration to digest what's already been said, as an act of kindness, I'll say again....

There's very little public support for the law to be changed.

There are no votes to be won.

It's never going to happen.

Therefore, rid yourself of all the bad vibes.

Chill dudes.
