Drugs: let’s be softer on our youngsters

It looks like this is a very debatable subject. Drug users come from all walks of life and they do it for many different reasons. But the dealers just do it for the money. I feel sorry for the parents who have tried to bring their kids up on the straight and narrow but have lost the battle.

Back to the Russel Brand approach....

Thats the point. In this case, the so called pinko do gooders methods have not been used.

I agree that its a problem, exascerbated by not enough police, not enough prison space and not enough detox clinics and not enough money, but economically it is cheaper to to go down the treatment route. I dont agree with such draconian measures as you are in favour of. Firm hand yes, but barbarism no. I sincerely hope that if you ever have a close relative that was unlucky enough or even stupid enough to get hooked, you wouldnt reach for the rope or the birch or the bullet. As it can happen to anyone - it doesnt stop at class boundaries.

By the way, Methadone is also an opiate. It is really just a heroin substitute. So dishing it out in prisons doesnt help. In fact dishing it out doesnt help at all. It is actually more dangerous than heroin as it rots the marrow.

For anyone who wants to know more about the treatment route for drug addiction, rather than the capital punishment route, then there is no need to read all about it here, give the specialists a call. They are out there. They aren't employed directly by the NHS, which is another part of the problem ( the NHS as yet, as far as I know, do not have such clinics and basically put that part of their business out to these particular kinds of specialists of which there are so few ).

Dr Amal Beaini ( pronounced Beannie )
Detox 5
Harrogate
Yorkshire

Dr Hugh Hepburn
Alexander Clinic
Oldmeldrum
Aberdeenshire

Dr Mike McPhillips
The Priory
Sloane Street (Chelsea)
South West London

You do have a habit of being controversial, if you don't mind me saying.
There are millions of kids and not so young who use recreational drugs - pot for example.
They don't get guns and shoot people and the people who sell to them are likewise.
Why OTT always? Calm down and take a chill pill
