LONDON (AP) – The Scottish government has proposed decriminalising possession of all drugs for personal use to tackle one of Europe’s highest overdose death rates.

The suggestion was almost instantly blocked by the Conservative UK government in London, which said it had “no plans” to soften drug laws. The semi-autonomous Edinburgh government, led by the pro-independence Scottish National Party, said Friday that removing criminal penalties for drug possession would “allow for the provision of safe, evidence-based harm reduction services.”

Yep...that will work. I suspect it’s a plan to get junkies to just OD..and die to eliminate them from the “system ‘.

Just yesterday there was an article regarding the problems caused by Portugal’s decriminalization of drugs. Hey, if something is proven not to work, just double-down and do it elsewhere! Just make all places unlivable and everyone will be equally miserable.

Not a good move.

Aids cured homosexuality. It took out gays and druggies.

Should we take this attitude?

[LouAvul]

It's a libertarian solution. "Stop global warming! Legalize all narcotics!"

"Stop overcrowding! Legalize all narcotics!"

"Stop air pollution! Legalize all narcotics!"

"Stop drug overdoses!" Legalize all narcotics!"

Makes perfect sense ..... to dope addicts.

To the cold hearted it does work, in a few years all the addicts end up dead, problem solved.

Well, yes. They put a Pakistani Muslim in charge. So while drugs are strictly forbidden for him and drug crimes are punished harshly in muslim countries, it’s good policy to get Scots hooked on drugs so that they’ll be too preoccupied with getting stoned and its consequences to reject or fight the continued invasion and takeover of their homeland.

It is what is appening in the United States of America.
