Some rather conflicting opinions on this little baby aren't there?

I do not see how anyone would want dealing to go on in their own street to be honest? That is without me passing comment over the rights or wrongs etc.

I cannot believe the arrogant attitude of those involved in the transaction mentioned either, wasn't exactly a little handshake with goods and cash deftly exchanged was it?

If this is your way then surely a little discretion is not too much to be asked?

All of the above naturally may not make any sense at all as it purely my own personal opinion.

I presume you NEVER do over 70mph on a motorway..... I should watch you with a camera and note when you speed and report you and have no problems doing so.

Seems you have more time than life on your hands if you want to do this...

Going from previous replies you made to me, you and me would not get on at all!!!
I'd give up now, it's having a detrimental effect on your brain which is clearly demonstrable in the above post.

Taking drugs is not the same as speeding - for the record I do speed on the motorway, but unlike you it is the only law I break. I do not take drugs or condone their use - like E.D I have seen the downside to them. Just because you can "handle" what you do doesn't mean those that supply you aren't selling heroin to school kids. In fact you partially fund them to undercut their supplies of other drugs to others by getting your supply off of them.

The fact is you have admitted to use and possession and I am a Customs officer. Odds are you are also happy to supply your mates too despite the fact you would say otherwise.

And I can't believe you are that ignorant to really fail to grasp the fact that drugs offences are pursued differently from traffic offences. Traffic offences are mainly decriminalised and dealt with under Fixed Penalty notices unless you insist on going to court. If you are found in possession of Class A-C drugs the odds are you are going to court and facing charges.

They are completely different and your point, as usual, is totally irrelevant.

The fact is you don't see any problem. I bet your neighbours would. But you don't strike me as someone who actually gives a toss about anyone other than yourself.

If a vehicle has no speed then it is in fact stationary, thus cannot fullfil its task of moving from one place to another. So infact, speed is necessary. Also, if you care to read what i wrote properly, I stated that the exceeding of an arbitrary speed limit cannot be garunteed to cause an appreciable increase in risk of harm. Drugs are not necessary in any form, and do garuntee harm, whether you accept it or not.

The exceeding of a speed limit doesnt bring about an increased level of crime either.

Dude, you really haven't got a clue about drugs then have you. I know both the positives AND the negatives about what I do and the positives far outweigh the negatives in my opinion.
What pray tell, are the positives?

If you think that 0 people a year die from canabis, you are sadly mistaken. And why do you think that because one harmful drug is currently available, that means we should allow another? That's just stupid.

As I said, speeding and doing drugs simply arent comparable. They may both be against the law, but even then thats a tenuous link, as Lyn points out, one is a criminal matter and the other is not.

Well said. There's no practical difference between doing 69 ou 71 mph as far as risk increase is concerned, albeit the latter is illegal, but there is a substancial difference between not doing drugs (whatever they are) and doing even a small amount.

i think maybe drugs, drink and too many wild nights have definately had an adverse effect on him, if you don't believe me then check out the pics on daimo's signature link.

This is very heated altogether.

I have to say though, the only thing I have against weed is that it funds probably unpleasant people. I cant really be bothered using it. This is the main reason that I dont, but, this issue of funding scumbags is distasteful to me.

But, I think that it not terribley harmful. Yes, I have seen people a bit strung out after using lots of it. But, far fewer than Drink or smokes.

And, I think that to compare it to other drugs, ie Drink, and tobacco is completely reasonable. I think that it is considerabley less harmful than these guys.

I feel that it is absolutely pointless, and quite harmful to keep it illegal. Sell it as it if was tobaco, tax it, restrict it the same way that tobaco is, and I think the world would go on spinning without any problems. You get rid of these annoying dealers in the process.

I would also say that speeding is a greater crime than smoking a splif in your house. Speeding can kill innocent third parties. Having a splif after your dinner in front of the TV wont.

That is all

Even I'm shocked by some of the intolerant attitudes shown on this thread.It underlines the reasons why I would like to emigrate to somewhere with a slightly more laid back atmosphere.

I'd be well cheesed off if someone started interfearing in something that has nothing to do with them. I'd like a home delivery option but nosey neighbours maybe prevents this.... Especially if i'd only came out my house, then went back in again. Is this house effecting you, does it cause you problems with the residents?

If not, then no, keep your nose out?

As long as the little ones aren't being involved at all and its purley a "delivery" then who are you, Micheal Pain, the nosey neighbour....

Unless its actually directly effecting you, or children around your area, keep you nose out.

IMO of course.
Well aren't you intelligent. When they start dealing on the street in broad daylight mate it becomes everyone's problem and it does bring the area down. Read my original post again, it was Sundayt afternoon. bright sunshine, lots of children and families about. I've no problem with people smoking in their own homes but don't do it on my f*cking street. I don't usually get riled but I do with attitudes like yours.
