I would much rather drugs stay in the hands of tiny numbers of criminals than vast conglomerates with huge advertising budgets, R&D departments, and ruthless CEOs. |
What a backwards attitude. You constantly complain about drugs fuelling criminal gangs and yet you don't want them taken out of the hands of criminal gangs? |  |

Cocaine, MDMA etc are still illegal so I don't see why you would even bring Prohibition up myself. It's a non sequitur.
Many, a great many, of the people funding these gangs are perfectly cogent normal people, not drooling "addicts". If their eyes can be opened to the damage they are doing to our society with their selfish pleasures, maybe they will stop. |
I know you're trolling with these threads, chickers, but MDMA is an interesting case in point about legality and morality. Pure MDMA has never killed anyone but is illegal. Alcohol kills many tens of thousands a year and isn't. If we were being reasonable and objective, then it would be the other way round.
That said, at least pissheads don't come over all 'I feel like I've known you forever, maaan' and want constant hugs. |  |

The drug trade will thrive without the need for advertising. It is illegal to advertise alcohol over here but the pubs are packed every weekend and thousands travel to Denmark and Sweden, every day, to buy cheaper booze. |  |

Why aren't you trying to have alcohol made illegal? It is directly responsible for crime and health problems for both user and loved ones. |
Jesus turned water into wine, so that's OK.
Chico just doesn't understand that the burning bush was a fat one Moses smoked when he went off to "speak to God". |  |

I don't believe for one second that if Astra Zeneca could sell coke legally they wouldn't advertise it. | |

Because as Koont has kindly explained already, prohibition of a legal substance doesn't work. | |

Not true though. Japan for instance strictly enforces drug laws. Consequently, very few dealers drive expensive Land Rovers beat people in the streets and feel free to intimidate whoever they like. | |

Strange and specious reasoning where the prohibition of legal substances doesn't work but somehow the prohibition of illegal substances does.
There's no practical difference. Criminals run both and use it to fund or excuse all sorts of other stuff. | |

But if you want drugs in Japan, you will find them and they will be controlled by criminal gangs. Japanese culture is probably a lot to do with the lack of violence. | |

I think the one he scaremongers is himself. I reckon he's one of those people who've never tried any kind of illegal drug because he's scared of them, due to ignorance, and will happily spout "drugs are bad mkay" while drinking a pint of government approved intoxication. | |

So's ketamine*. The world's #1 used drug, in fact. And a favourite of dear old footers back in his raving days!
*Impossible to OD from, and about 1 in 5 billion people are allergic to it. More harmless than a ham sandwich. [Post edited 17 Feb 2020 18:13]

So advertising is not allowed. Why wouldn't advertising of cocaine likewise be outlawed? | |

Maybe if people are shown what their indulgences are doing to our society they will stop. |
This isn't much different to the vegan debate, not sure why some get worked up at you (Well I can guess...)
That thing you like doing eating meat/taking drugs is not good for the wider world as it is killing the planet/harming society.....have you thought about lowering your intake for the good of everyone else
Plenty of people on here now going to a plant based diet, or eating significantly less meat but don't dare consider they stop buying drugs |  |

Seeing as that's not going to happen, you could try legalising in order to stop violent criminal gangs exploiting vulnerable people and children. |
You could. But that doesnt let those buyers off the moral hook... |  |

It may be but advertisers/marketers are cunning creatures. Plus the gigantic publicity from legalisation would do most of their job for them anyway.
I and my family are leaving the UK so I don't care about the ongoing slow-motion societal collapse *that* much anymore and I am now certain that legalisation will happen in the next 20 years or so. I just would like people to stop buying illegal drugs. | |

Do you buy petrol from petrol dealing gangs who terrorise the communities they operate in? | |
