In politics most people just critizise each other, but what did your local government actually do a good job on?

    I’d like to point out that it costs a society much less to supply one with heroin than it does to deal with all the thefts and crime that comes with the user having to fund an illegal black market, not to mention all the stabbings over drug territory.

    We need to grow some balls and be adult about this situation, what we’re doing hasn’t worked for the last 50 years.

    Misuse of Drugs act has been in place what 50 years now? Consumption rates have increased and so have people getting contaminated drugs/deaths.

    Source you may ask? Oh… only the National Crime Agency on gov.uk

    And we may be nerds but if that means I know what I’m talking about then fuck yeah, beats staying in ones box and regurgitating the statue-quo. - When frontline police say we’re making the problem worse one has to start asking questions.
