People seem to get up in arms about crack & smack etc...
How about legalising some of the less hardcore drugs - weed, ecstacy etc? After all, more people smoke and drink than take drugs and sure, some of this is societal conditioning but some of it is also a matter of availability and price. Legal class B & C drugs might reduce the number of people who choose to take class A (at least recreationally - this won't help with addicts, but might help reduce the number of future addicts).

Also I'm sure I read that the mark up for illegal drugs at the moment is in the region of 1000% - you can tax weed harder than tobacco for similar production costs. And all that money is going to the government.

On a largely unrelated note, anyone get pissed off with drug-fueled hippies? Oh, all my food is fair trade organic. And I'm a vegan. And a pacifist. Yeah, and the people who keep you in cocaine are just nice as pie, aren't they?

Sanctimonious cunts.
West-coast American hippies are the worst of all.

There's a guy in Texas or New Mexico
or somewhere, who's built his house out of tyres and recycles his urine and so on.

As ecologically aware as I try to be, this (literal) shit-eating prick makes me want to dump crude oil all over his smug hippie face.
