His name is Professor David Nutt and to this day he is lobbying for the government to change its stance. He was forced to resign as the government disagreed with his findings, as it isn't in line with government policy...
Most of the landlords I know consider the pub companies and breweries to be running an organised crime racket...
I think I quoted some FACTS earlier which merit the term 'end of': 100,000 UK deaths per year from smoking. 10,000 from alcohol. 2,500 from 'drugs'. Now, stuff that lot in your pipe/glass/hypodermic and smoke/drink/inject it. (It really should be the last word on the matter, but I somehow doubt it)
Annual drug deaths, recent figures from the World Health Organisation (these are deaths caused by the drugs themselves, they're different from the 'drug related deaths' figures, which include shootings and the like, where the North America and Latin America figures increase massively)... Africa 36,800 North America 44,600 Latin America and the Caribbean 4,900 Asia 78,600 Western and Central Europe 7,500 Eastern and South-Eastern Europe 8,700 Oceania 1,900
You do have to wonder why this wasn't front page news. I mean, come on, Alcohol more detrimental than Heroin? Surely that would ring alarm bells up and down the country! Or is it now, that as a nation we don't consider Heroin to be that bad after all?
Considering drugs are still illegal in the Netherlands, it won't tell you anything about the point you were responding to.
It is indeed, in 2012, about 3.3 million net deaths, or 5.9% of all global deaths, were attributable to alcohol consumption.
Not read much of this thread Cant be bothered really But if anyone offers drugs to my neice they will wish they hadn't So many of my old friends are dead, or so ****ed up I wouldnt tell them were I live because of drugs . I couldnt trust them not to rob me now I have a friend now in rampton who got paranoid through smoking dope all the time he thought aliens were inside his friends and stuck an axe in someones head in Bridlington as he thought his friend was an alien Yes I tried stuff when younger but I was more intrested in scooters and going on rallys then taking drugs. Just my opinion but I would shoot all drug dealers
'insert name of drug' is bad because it is illegal. 'Insert name of drug' is fine because it is legal. The above argument that has been rehashed in the last 13 odd pages is probably the most pathetic argument for anything in the history of this forum. Closely followed by 'this drug just makes you feel good but this drug makes you crazy'. People are actually arguing that booze is fine as a drug and somehow a lot worse than coke Jesus wept. Booze kills thousands and thousands a year and ruins thousands of lives for christ sake. It's poison.
