I don't believe that a majority of people in this country would start using crack or heroin if it was legally available.I know I wouldn't,and neither would you Marty,I believe.

you've misunderstood ,i meant that possibly a majority of people in britain are drug users (including fags and alchohol) i should have been clearer,which in my book would be a statement from society about what is wanted

The current classification system is BS and should be re-thought. It should actually take into account levels of harm, e.g. why are some people severely punished for choosing to use something that is far less socially harmful and physically harmful than other drugs in the same Class and even other drugs that are actually legal?

and i agree, but what do we do about alcohol then ,the most harmful drug and the most widely used ,the study is unambiguous about that
