When was the last time you heard of a drug user being given a streach behind bars? Normaly get let off with a warning.

Perhaps. Bare in mind that lots of people are getting hurt all the time from taking legal drugs (alcohol). So really, someone who takes a different type of drug that just happens to be illegal but hurts no-one simply isn't worth worrying about.

For occasional and moderate users of some drugs, it's not ncessarily worse, physiologically or socially (meaning behaviour) than having a few pints or sambuccas. However, again, there is the other side of illegal drugs- the trade and abuse and violence that is associated with this. Someone who's going to act like an ***hole after a few puffs/lines/pills is exactly the sort of person who will do the same after a few pints. And also, people can be a little unsympathetic to alcoholics or people who are addicted to illegal drugs- they are suffering from an illness that needs help and support. However, addicts are often difficult socially and have to get to a point where they 'want' to get better. So again, there are many sides to it. So many people only see the one side of these things and the media, in particular, as with everything else that is covered, chooses to portray only one aspect of a situation. EVERY story has a slant and you NEVER hear either the WHOLE story or the whole TRUTH in the media. This may sound a little paranoid, but I prefer to be healthily skeptical these days... |

The main reason I object to drug use is when it results in the user having to resort to other criminal activity (eg housebreaking) which does effect me, to pay for it. The chances of Winehouse etc. having to break into my house to fund their habits are slim, hence I'm not half as bothered about them getting off their t1ts, as some scumbag down the towerblock of flats less than a mile away from my house. Winehouse and co. were getting monged then crashing their cars/attacking people, that's a different matter, but if they are just sat in their house staring at the walls, it's a bit sad, but not anything that bothers me.
