Starmer has or should have a good overview of this problem. See what he does.

@T_21-l6s I am not in favour of decriminalisation. Drugs can literally destroy communities, cities, and the country, as seen in China. Some drug users are not fit to be in society. Sad as it might be.

@T_21-l6s Arrogant waffle forwarding your solution as if it is the only one. The only party proposing legalisation were Greens. They got NO diplomatic mandate to pursue it. Legalisation is not the silver bullet you profess it to be. Drugs are damaging the productivity and aspirations of thousands of young people. We have tried legalisation. The opium dens were closed with good reason. History is a very good teacher. Where legalisation has be tied in the Netherlands/Germany, it has not resulted in breathtaking definative results. It should not be brought in without a public debate and scrutiny. I and many others disagree with you.
