It isn't.

It's up to Parliament.

And Parliament has banned the use of cannabis as well as any illegal
"harmless recreational drugs" that exist.
You must be utterly deflated by the fact that every civilised state in
the world has laws against... er... illegal drugs.


Things were illegal before laws were made? Remarkable.

Why do their legislatures all believe that they have the right to
decide... [continued on p.629.]


By all accounts they don't always follow their own rules.

Illegal drugs are banned by law, what a revelation.
Homosexuality, gay marriage and female votes were once illegal but we now live in a more enlightened world.

It's remarkable that you can insist on being so asinine.

Or is it?

That is not of significance.

We are all familiar with The Ten Commandments. None of them become
irrelevant on the basis that "Moses did it too".

Only to people who are as stupid (or alternatively, as disingenuous) as
you are.

It is necessary to point out to very stupid people - who try to claim
that cannabis is "harmless" - that there is a body of scientific
evidence to the contrary.

At this stage, I'll go with the scientists rather than with you druggies.

Homosexuality, gay marriage and female votes were once illegal but we now live in a more enlightened world.


When will it be made legal for HGV drivers to deliberately run down
obstructive cyclists?

Please cite this evidence.

Who or what is a druggie?
Water is a drug, you can die from a water overdose.

As is Oxygen.

Typical motorist. Violence is the answer, what was the question.

This lorry driver wiped out a family of four - is he a hero to the common or garden driver frustrated at being "held up"?

This shocking footage shows the moment a lorry driver ploughs into a car while distracted by his phone, killing a mother and three children. The distressing video has been released by the devastated families in a bid to make people aware of the potentially-fatal consequences of using a mobile behind the wheel.

Tracy Houghton, 45, her two sons Ethan, 13 and Joshua, 11, and her partner’s daughter, Aimee Goldsmith, 11 were on their way back from a family holiday in Devon when they were killed.

According to Nugents first law of motion it was the other road users fault for being in the way.

Indeed - the faster following driver has a right to mow down and kill any slower people in front of them.
