I witnessed a crime
Freddy Woo writes, "A group of us once staggered home so insensible with drink that we failed to notice someone being killed and buried in a shallow grave not more than 50 yards away. A crime unsolved to this day."
Have you witnessed a crime and done bugger all about it? Or are you a have-a-go hero?
Whatever. Tell us about it...

Its definately a debate worth having
As a mental health professional (who finds that a large proportion of service users with more extreme mental health problems put the onset of their difficulties down to drug - usually cannabis - use) I think it would be helpful to see some well-researched actuarial predictions about how legalising drug use would impact on the prevalence of consumption.
On the other side of the argument, there are huge social costs linked to drug use other than crime - housing, unemployment benefit, addiction services, mental health and physical health services - which are all very expensive, and much more likely to be drawn on by someone with even minor drug problems.
