[UK] Labour's liberalisation of the cannabis laws was a disaster that pushed up drug use and crime and doubled the number of drug victims in hospital beds, two major research studies said yesterday.
They found that after police were told to go easy on cannabis smokers, there were increases in assaults, theft and car theft, burglaries, vandalism and anti-social behaviour.
The chance that a young person who had never smoked cannabis would try the drug went up by a quarter after it became unlikely they would get more than a warning if caught by police, one project found.
The likelihood that they would smoke it on a regular basis went up by 8 per cent.
According to a second study, an experiment in relaxing cannabis laws on the streets of South London led to a rise of 40 to 100 per cent in the numbers of men admitted to hospital due to their use of harder drugs.
That report, by researchers from the Institute for Fiscal Studies, said: ‘We find the depenalisation of cannabis had significant longer-term impacts on hospital admissions related to the use of hard drugs.’

No - that's your functional illiteracy talking.
"the press reports don't even say that crime rates and drug use hadn't been increasing before depenalization of cannabis."
Not the same as claiming that drug abuse was rising up to 100% before the studies. Again, that's your functional illiteracy talking.
Up to 100% is the number in the study we were talking about here.
Also not the same as claiming that drug abuse was rising by any amount before the studies. Again, that's your functional illiteracy talking.
I am not your poodle jumping through hoops like your pro-drugs pro-homo friend there.
You are the sick nanny insisting on control. JustSayNoToYourself.
Again, I have posted many times on pro-gun rights.
Your opinion about the methodology of these studies is baseless.
Your attempt to make me a gungrabber is something only a dope fiend operating on a single braincell would do.
That your pro-homo friend came flying in here attempting the same - shows something really sick and weird... Really Sick And Weird.
Read my posting history if you must.
This thread is about drugs.
No doubt I will be posting pro-guns soon enough.
Again, that's your functional illiteracy talking.Did you start smoking dope at age six?
Maybe you will have another thought before tomorrow?
Sounds like teetotaler urban legend to me - have any evidence?
I'm not really that interested; do your own research.
Look, you don't need to justify your getting high to me. Yes, it's true, I've NEVER done drugs but I don't believe that makes me better than anyone; and, if I did believe it, what's it to you?
GET PLASTERED, YOU B^%@^@RD!
Once again, stop dragging disputes across threads. That is against forum rules.
You didn’t “call me” on anything. All you’ve done is prove you have no facts but aren’t man enough to admit your position can’t hold water. You’re not good, you’re an @$$#)!3 with no logic or mind that thinks yelling has meaning and insults have worth. You are, in short, everything you accuse others of being. Probably on drugs too, you act like an angry speed freak.
Sounds like teetotaler urban legend to me - have any evidence?
I'm not really that interested; do your own research.
But you were interested enough to post the claim?
You're in luck - I've already done the research: No study finds a drop of more than 40% in drinking during Prohibition (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcohol_during_and_after_prohibition).
Look, you don't need to justify your getting high to me.
I don't get high - but I'll keep that in mind.
Please refresh my memory - I don't recall doing anything in the deleted post other than post a link to a related thread. Is that against forum rules?
Oh, and BTW, lose your link to the post from Bellflower on your profile page as well.
The difference between us is one day you will wise-up with age and know I am right. ;)
Done.
The difference with us is that I’m actually man enough to admit when I’m wrong. Meanwhile you’re still throwing insults and lies and fleeing from facts thus proving you KNOW you’re wrong. People who think they’re right use facts, 2 days on this thread, no facts from you, so we know it, and you know it, now man up and admit it. Go ahead, it’s cleansing and refreshing to admit you’re full of crap, then you won’t have to participate in flame wars anymore.

What you think I didn’t know where my online alias came from? Once again you are living up to everything you claim everybody else is, in this case way too stone to comprehend simple things.
