    No where in this text can I see a quote from him saying that he’d legalise all drugs. This “public health approach” sounds like decriminalisation, which is what I’d advocate for, but not legalisation, I don’t want to be seeing Tesco value acid available behind the counter, right?

      Tesco value acid

      Yes, I would want to see that, I don’t understand the objection.

      Is Big Daz’s looney tabs, which are on offer from your local dealer currently, any better somehow?

        I’d take some taste the difference ketamine while racking up lines with my club card.

    When I was younger, I’d have thrown my support behind this.

    Now that I’m older and world-wiser, I’m much less on board with that. Cannabis? Fine. Heroin? Whatever, you do you. Cocaine? Absolutely not. Not that I’m against cocaine, it’s just that people on cocaine are really, really annoying.

      Right, but people take all those drugs anyway even though it is illegal.

      All prohibition does is mean it’s unregulated, unsafe and a huge waste of policing resources and ruined lives (mostly via enforcement).

      Drugs should be a health issue, not a policing one.
