See I think the majority of the country would care.
We're all fairly liberal on here but we're not exactly an accurate portrayal of society just one part of it. If you could start getting coke and heroin in Boots it would freak a lot of people out. I like it the way it is. All grimy and seedy and uncontrolled. I don't want to have to buy a pack of 5 b&h spliffs and pay some ridiculous price for the privelige.

I don't do drugs
I'm scared of them, and I'm with Gonz when he says they make people mad and stupid (he used better words). That is why I'd be happy if drug addicts could buy the drugs at Boots, in a controlled way, with explanations on how the drug might affect them (same as it's done with alcohol and cigarrets). I'd be even happier knowing that because the composition of the drugs is controlled, a lot fewer of them will need a doctor. And on top of that, the ones that will need a doctor for abusing them, would have paid part of the treatment to the NHS on taxes. It's all advantages.

your sensible
and well reasoned argument has made me think. That would be beneficial but as a recreational drug user (weed) I'm pretty much happy the way it is.

Yes, I can see your point and why
But I think weed is not the problem here. There is a lot of crime around drugs because they're illegal. It was proved in the States during the dry period (no idea how you call it in English, but that time when they couldn't sell alcohol). They only managed to get a lot of criminals involved on smuggling it around, charging extorsionate prices for it. Nothing good.

Prohibition
it was called.

It didn't work
And they had to de-prohibit.

Mind you
two arguments against it, are 1) that it's a bit unlikely those dosed up on heroin or crack have or are paying tax to support their own lifestyle, and 2) there will still be crime because people will still steal and rob to get the funds to buy the stuff

but whatever they do
illegal drugs will still be available and the cycle will continue. I think I am a nihilist now so don't see the point in anything.

Yes
We'll always find a way to get illegal things, like there's always people who speed on the cars, park on yellow lines, steal, kill... that doesn't mean those things shouldn't be regulated, don't you think?
(Aberracion Life's getting very complicated, but a lot of fun., Tue 17 Aug 2010, 10:58, Reply)

regulation requires enforcement
and I am always against that. Do what we say or we'll bash you!

And prohibition doesn't?
Really? Don't you think that prohibiting the use of drugs is enforcing the prohibition?

Oi Bob.
How did you get on with that ginger Doris from B&Q?

Will she let you 'do it' 'cos she works in B&Q (it)?

she wasn't there just the bald sweaty guy.
Did change my grinder though to the party sized one. Am gonna go back as I'm a little smitten. I was almost tempted to ask sweaty man but might be bad if it's his missus or daughter or sister or something.

Why not go all Pat Mustard on her and see if she'll let you put your massive tool in her box?

I was thinking of just buying the biggest rocket or firework in there
and make very unsubtle and obvious penis jokes before casually getting my cock out

If she working in B&Q
She'll be concious of the world and health and safety.

Buy the biggest firework they've got, but rather than asking for a bag will you get to the till, whip out a giant Rover biscuit tip - put the firework in there, give her a wink and walk out with a swagger.

She'll be putty in your hands. Absolutely no way you can fail. Trust me. *I'm a natural with the ladies.*

What? Firework shops sell grinders?
Catherine Wheels, yes. Sparklers, yes. But a grinder for grinding things?

yeah for Marijuana
You know on Gloucester road near the Hobgoblin. Other side of the road bout 50 yards up. Little fire work shop.

Tell ya what.
I'm in a benevolent mood today, and I'm heading into Bristol later on so if you want, I'll go to the shop and say.

'My mate, well, I say mate, this bloke I know, well, I don't actually know him, but this character on the Internet says he fancies the ginger girl what works here. If she's interested, here is a link to a thread where he says he likes her'

I'll buy a box of bangers, just to show I'm the real deal, not some weirdo.

When you next go in there, her fuse will be well lit and all you'll need to do is stand back as she explodes into a sparkly, spinning love rocket.

Warning. Should she fail to go off, don't approach her again.

and if you could also pop into tesco express just a bit further up
opposite the flyer and tell the blonde/redhead in there she is also on my LIST that would be appreciated.

yup I know what you mean
but I assume that with new laws mean new enforcement laws which will only make things shitter in my opinion. I can't imagine it working and hope I never see it in practice.
( SteveFrench Cardio is for homo's. do you even lift bro?, Tue 17 Aug 2010, 11:26, Reply)

Again,
look at the example of the States and alcohol. They had to enforce a lot more laws on everyday people during the dry period than now.
(Aberracion Life's getting very complicated, but a lot of fun., Tue 17 Aug 2010, 11:28, Reply)

but look at the time
it was the 1920's it wasn't exactly easy to enforce it which is why the bootleggers ran amok. The whole thing is cycular but everynow and again someone changes the rules and the baddies find new ways to break them. Just no point. Besides the whole species is doomed anyway may as well just give drugs away and let's end it on a high.
( SteveFrench Cardio is for homo's. do you even lift bro?, Tue 17 Aug 2010, 11:32, Reply)

And it's easy to enforce the law now, isn't it?
That's why nobody takes drugs, because you can't find them on the street because the law is so well inforced.

And I don't think we're doomed, sorry. I think we'll do just fine.

If they were sold in boots on a prescription basis with the intention of helping people get off them for addiction reasons, such as Methadone.
Then that is cool, but the whole point of this is to sell them on recreational basis, which will never happen with doctor's concen, and therefore the only way to do it would be to sell them on a retail/high-street basis.

Maybe some sort of 'drug card' would be a good idea, where you present a card, or even some pin-prick blood test to see what you've got in your system; and on that basis, you can buy a pill from a registared person. But people will cheat the system, and the infrastructer would be huge for this to work.
