yeah dude..ho-hos now...facedown cheerleader right after I kick your ass in mario kart...
Its pretty much like prostitution they will never completely stop it as long as people want to do these things people will make money from it simple as in my view.
The best thing I have seen on TV in the UK was on Jonathan Ross (Friday night prime time talk show) Where he said to someone quite important like a potential prime minster (cant remember who)
"Just legalise drugs, it would save all the problems and crime against it, and it could be monitored correctly.... stop pretending its underground because everyone can get it now, so why not make it legal and ensure what people buy is of good quality and there is proper structures in place to deal with any related problems"
Fucking loved that, a big man to say that on prime time TV. It would put far to many people out of jobs, that's why they cant take a U Turn. So fuckin stupid.
Although I must admit, I've recently cut down from a ounce a week weed habit. It has done me some favours, but I would now only treat weed as I would Alcohol, tbh Alcohol is a much more volatile substance to regularly consume and can make me feel proper ill.

Keeping drugs illegal is fucked up and creates more problems than it solves.

Plus it doesnt matter what the effects are or what the substance is; It's none of the governments fucking business to regulate what people put into their bodies.

But... but... the Government must protect us from ourselves. It's for our own good. We're too dumb to make decisions for ourselves. Please save us, Big Government!!!!!!

If it happens here (and Melbourne, and Brisbane and Adelaide), then it damn well happens in pretty much every city in America, and you're either to blind to notice, or you look like the puritanical schlub that won't interest dealers in teh first place.
Legalising, taxing and quality control are the best options for dealing with addictive substances.
It cleans up the supply, which means fewer people dying from use. It provides further revenue for the government to use on problems caused by the drugs in the first place (Australia just had another 70% tax added to premixed alcohol beverages. They reckon it'll provide an extra $500m per year, 80% earmarked to alcohol related government projects such as treatment centers and education campaigns). It prevents crime wars over turf, which prevents related crime such as unlicensed prostitution, and therefore lowers the required amount of police resources.
It also lets people go to hospital over their misuse of the substance without it becoming a legal issue.
No, we don't have legalised and taxed drugs here, other than the ones available in the States. New South Wales attempted a trial and got bitch slapped down by our federal government for puritanical reasons (just like N.T.'s euthenasia legislation).
On another note, if anyone wants to read a GREAT book about what life could be like if we seriously tried for something like this, go read Ben Elton's High Society.
Fantastically bitter comedy.
