Ok so I've actually watched it now. And whilst Chandler's allergy argument is ... Questionable ... It is true that some people are more prone to chemical addiction than others (e.g. some people can smoke socially for years and never crave one at any other time, others get hooked on nicotine after just a few times and gave physical withdrawal) but an allergy? Hmmm... Not convinced. The issue is mainly psychological.

The other guy is talking such nonsense it's not even funny. His idea of ramping up the criminal element would simply not decrease levels of drug addiction, at all. He really believes that these people will not take drugs in the first place / stop taking drugs because "its illegal"? ... Really? They don't give a **** whether or not its legal. All his idea would do is place even more pressure on a criminal justice and prison system that's bursting at the seams and costing an absolute fortune as it is. Or worse: taking kids who are dabbling with small time drugs and would stop in their early 20s anyway, slapping them with a criminal record, and all but ensuring that their life will slide downhill INTO unemployment and addiction when they would otherwise have grown up eventually. Utterly ridiculous. Typical toff nonsense. "if daddy is clear that it's naughty then they'll just have to bloody well stop old chap!"
