    They don't want to stop drug use because it employs too many police, solicitors, judges, prison wardens, social workers etc.

    The drugs problem will never be sorted in Ireland or america or any Western country. Its too addictive and there is too much money in it. You wouldnt be dealing drugs in Russia too handy you miight find yourself living out your life in Siberia if you were not in a box in the ground

    I'm from up north and it is everywhere. And very young doing it too. Iv kids so it is a worry. Some people bury their heads. Tbh I don't think it can be stopped. Individual families' parents drilling into their children not to take it. But sadly the parents are doing it too. And not all kids have families.

    If they made ecstacy like they did in the late 80s early 90s when I was taking it , then coke wouldn't be a problem now

    The more fundamental question is, why do people need to consume cocaine. Address that question - as it is the fundamental question that needs to addressed.

    We will need private prisons soon ,like they have in the states..One year stay will cost 25k .. constitutionally you wont have to pay...Come back again and you won't get a bed..??When your mates are laughing at you stepping over you in the new prisons..maybe then you will accept you have reached rock bottom... Politicians with oil addiction havnt solutions for a public witb similar dependency our country needs evangelisation.not legalisation.
