@SpiceAwareness@TweeterReynolds Spice would almost certainly not exist if it were not for prohibition. As far as Ive been able to tell, spice isn’t a specific chemical, it’s a catch all for synthetic THC. Horrible stuff. Easily available, thanks to daft laws, and the daft ppl who support &/ or enforce them
@Martin221569001@TweeterReynolds@HumphreysHope There used to exist “ The British System “. It was effective.
The US forced our govt to get rid. Plot a graph of no. of diacetylmorphine addicts against year. You’ll see.
A home office license is needed for a Dr to script it. No doctor wants to kill their career by applying.
@TweeterReynolds This must be the only war in which the victims support the war. That’s how well it’s been burnt into our collective consciousness. Families of addicts think more war is the answer. Ive met many addicts who support the war. It’s going to take decades to undo this mess
@Arielhe97434333@krassenstein America will never get a deal as good as Obama got. Not saying Obama was some amazing negotiator, but, back then, he had the leverage that the US was seen as all powerful. Now the US has proven it can’t enforce freedom of navigation. It’s the US’ Suez Canal moment
@TweeterReynolds It’s such a shame that every anti prohibition voice, with any weight anyway, has to constantly do this. Who needs winning over ? Is it the choir this tweet preaches to? @wudzee0 does the same thing. Everyone does.
@hornsbykid@HamiltonMorris That is an interesting claim, I’ve never heard that before. I think it’s more likely just the result of stupid policy, caused by people demanding something be done. There’s a lot of very stupid people out there
@Kevin_Lewis_USA@HamiltonMorris@mattgaetz Hurting others won’t bring your wife back. Over 50yrs of banning things has led to tens of thousands of ppl existing as a zombies in your cities.
This is the proven result of ppl like you demanding things be banned.
@Syke72241599@TweeterReynolds@Ricky_ting777 Fent & zenes would not be a thing if it weren’t for the stupid laws that incentivise ever increasing strength in an ever decreasing weight. Also, CNJ would not exist if not for prohibition.
We have a case study, America banning alcohol! See the carnage that caused, in 13yrs!
@Aguirre115622@TweeterReynolds No. Half assed measures like decriminalisation are exactly what caused the zombie apocalypse in California.
I would assume there’s a lot of money to be made by supposedly helpful charities, NGOs and landlords. Keep the problem unsolved, so revenue flows
JEREMY CLARKSON. "I have always never wanted drugs to be legalised, for very good reasons. I cannot abide the smell of #cannabis. I’ve always been worried that if coke and ket and smack and all the rest were to be sold in Boots, alongside the toothpaste, then the temptation would be too great. That argument, though, no long holds water because drugs ARE now easily obtainable. So that causes me to wonder: is it time for a change of mind? Is it time to let business make it and sell it to us? So that the £9.4 billion it currently generates can be taxed." #drugspolicy https://t.co/xyHqVoXsh9
@TweeterReynolds@solarfire777 Matching the level of persuasion that the pro prohibition side has? Somehow, the pain that affected ppl have to deal with, it has to be made clear it is caused by prohibition. I have no idea how to achieve it, but the pain has to be subconsciously associated with the prohibition
@Starseeker1986@TweeterReynolds It’s so often that the very people that have been severely hurt by prohibition are its biggest supporters.
I wish there were a way to explain, but facts stand no chance in the face of the emotion caused by loss of a loved one, and/or seeing that loved one destroy themselves..
