I've been burgaled twice and had 3 cars stolen-all drug related crimes. Add in the pointless policing of trying to stop people doing something to their own bodies..all the costs involved with courts and prisons and so on, the extra insurance costs on everything...drugs are the biggest criminal enterprise in the world.
And it's all about policing something that actually costs a pittance..a hit of smack costs about 10 pence to produce but probably costs society a thousand quid in the end.
I don't mind people having the view that it should be illegal but it's about time they put their f*cking money where their mouths are and either solve the problem or stop imposing the cost on all of us !
A lot of crime too feed a drug habit can much better be dealt with in other ways,rather than push the addict into crime.
Also try stopping false allegations,banging up innocent people so that compensation seekers and greedy cops benefit is another step needed.
We don't need a 3,000 reduction,but a 30,000 reduction.
