I'm just surprised that the government hasn't cottoned on to the fact that if they regulated drugs and sold them to the population in safer forms then it would earn them a hell of a lot more money, and would avoid everyone having to come up with stupid regulations like this that would only put more people out of work and cause people to wind up on benefits, costing everyone more in the long run. It's just ridiculous.

[2]. Portugal and Amsterdam are two case studies to prove that more lenient attitudes towards drugs would be far more beneficial. To say anything else goes against solid evidence and these people should really consider their stance on the matter. Seriously.
Incidentally, though, I disagree with you saying that
drugs (plural) should be regulated. Legalise and regulate the production of cannabis but leave it at that (decriminalise the rest).
