notwell Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 "’It is about taking it out of the hands of organised criminals and giving it to doctors, pharmacists and governments who can get the market under control." That's right - because organised crime syndicates will just go "ah well, that's us finished then". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIchard Britten Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Oh Notwell, still holding the party line against all the evidence and fact to the contrary... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lxxx Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 "’It is about taking it out of the hands of organised criminals and giving it to doctors, pharmacists and governments who can get the market under control." Think of all the lovely tax revenues they can bring in to keep the unsustainable system going a little longer. Add some more products to the already profitable legal drug captive market.

And with taxes and rising costs you create the current black market for cheaper drugs so it actually solves nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIchard Britten Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 So Notwell, what is better: All monies made are kept in criminal hands and we pay a fortune in the legal system (from detection all the way through to rehabilitation) or Say...90% of monies being inserted in the tax system, less expenditure on the legal system and 10% of monies existing in criminal circles.

Well it does. It adds a bit more revenue to government coffers. You'll never eradicate the desire for idiots to want to contribute towards an early death no matter what you do. They'd raid B&Q for paint thinners or gas canisters to sniff if all else failed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
