Drugs are killing healthy young people. How is it that a drug dealer is not tried as a murderer?

It's not limited to class. It could be your own son or daughter.

You know how many people in Singapore die from overdoses? Almost none, because drugs are actually illegal there.

  • HelloMiss Posters who think stealing steak/high value foods/alcohol to SELL ON. For drugs is 'food poverty'

And those stealing baby milk... usually to sell on. So naive.

people like you are scary ngl*

Scary how? I see it a lot.....it happens. The truth scares you?

Either way, it's a straw man compared to the complex issues being discussed in this thread.

29,742 killed or seriously injured ( KSI ) casualties by cars in 2022, 1,711 fatalities. Better ban them as well

Cars have a purpose.

Drugs are just drugs. But I would be in favour of legalisation and taxation too. Make it legal and you cut off the criminals (to some extent).

I'm not denying people commit crime in order to feed their addiction, but not a single person in this thread has said they think it is OK for people – even for those substance use disorder – do it.

Yeah the op thinks it's fine
Odd....

@MrsTerryPratchett 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 thank you. It isn't always a choice. I'm supporting one lady whose mum began injecting her with heroin aged 8, to keep her quiet whilst she sex worked. She's addicted through no fault of her own.
