TOPIC: Jane Asher
#60083
Jane Asher 13 Years, 10 Months ago  
Anyone who has read 65 My Life So Far will be amused by her opinions in the Mail today (accurately reported?) that drugs should be legalized - in the 60s, she, me and Cyn Lennon were the only three in the clubs not indulging!

I agree with her statements,even if it's not from her own indulgences.

Any personal intake of substances should be up to the individual,not the nanny state.

It brings to mind that Brass Eye feature that had Noel Edmonds warning kids not to eat 'cake'.

... and will they sign a disclaimer absolving the NHS from ALL costs involved in subsequently treating them ?

The streets are full of substance abuse tossers / winos already.

As I've said many times before .... freedom comes with responsibility (not to be leaches on society).

a fair point although we already treat drug victims-alcoholics- for free.

Considering that the illicit drug industry is the worlds' biggest criminal enterprise and cost governments billions in wasted funds combating human desire I think it would be cheaper to legalise, control the quality and so on. The cost of treating addicts would be a fraction by comparison.

A very good point, veritas.

You could also argue that as most of these abusers die in the 40s anyway - we ought to give them as much as they want and speed up the process?

What are the costs now in police/customs/crime to fund it etc?
I lived in a drug cesspit in Bradford in the early 90s,and have first hand experience of how it affects a community.

There is no easy answer,but I'd say the costs of making drugs illegal outweighs those of legalization.Also it removes all the organized crime involved around the scene.

Tossers are everywhere ITK,not just amongst drug abusers
