Ok,please show me the reports and statistics on the amount of Murders,Armed Robberies,Thefts and other assorted crime that can be linked to the supply/distribution of alcohol and tobacco or the procurement of it.
Will there be a black market still? Absolutely,but nowhere near of today's size and scope.Why would u buy XTC or Cocaine from a dealer when you can buy the ICI produced merchandise from Boots that has guaranteed quality.... Very few people will,just as most people in NL buy from the coffee shops and most people here buy legal fags. |
How does asking me that answer the question I asked you? Where's your fact based evidence and research that in the UK a change in the law as being discussed wouldn't have the results I'm suggesting? Where's your fact based research that all the dealers and criminals will just let it happen right in front of their noses when there's nothing to stop them carrying on with the supply of more potent versions of the drug which HMG decides it can't sanction the production of, especially when they can and will do it cheaper. As I've already stated more than once, I accept that some people, maybe many, will switch to officially controlled stuff (which is a good thing) but there will be those who don't and the logical reaction of the dealers will be to fight back. I'd imagine cost will be a major factor in who does what and that's why many people are walking around our towns and cities smoking cheap adulterated fags and drinking cheap adulterated booze despite the very well known dangers of so doing. That's the main reason they'd buy ICI produced XTC or cocaine from a dealer as opposed to Boots and unless that's dealt with the problem will remain and the **** involved will adapt their businesses just like they always do.
Anyway we seem to be going round in circles so like I said, we'll just have to beg to differ on this and accept that only time will tell. Just don't hold your breath waiting for the UK turning into Holland anytime soon...
