Query: drug deals in Underhill Rd

[se22cat]

If cannabis was legalised, at least the tax would hopefully go towards the huge numbers of lung cancer treatments it causes and puts the NHS under extra strain for and if available in oils, edibles etc it would help out a ton of people living with the many health issues it has proven to relieve the pain of.

Sadly, no matter what the government, I can't ever see it being legalised in the UK, which is a shame imho.

Regarding those canisters, unfortunately I see them all over the place in ED, regularly on our street too and it's something that is obviously getting worse and worse.

Same here, I can't see it being legalised in UK.

Unless the projected cash inflow to GovUK would entice their greed.

Otherwise I don't see it ever happening.

I don't agree with drug legalisation anyway.

I reckon many places, including the U.K., will watch Canada carefully over the coming years to see how it affects them. Big tobacco is keen for legalisation as revenue in the West is dropping precipitously and they see legalised weed as a good way to make money.

I don?t think it?ll happen any time soon, by any stretch, but if Canada makes a success of it (which is far from a given in my view) then I think many nations will see an increase in lobbying for legalisation.

Why does anyone care what happens in Canada (population 36 million)? It's already legal for recreational use in 9 US states including California which by itself is a larger population.

I'd suggest that as Canada is not only closer to us in population size but also in terms of legislature and legal system, and has introduced a nationwide legalization, its model might well be of more validity in predicting what might happen in the UK than the USA model.

Cocaine and amphetamine is massive too- and has been for at least half a century......

Surely it would be more relevant to give the police the registration number? What would be the point of posting it on here? Have I missed something?

I'm afraid I don't really understand this. Can you please spell out the details more fully.

To what end?

[Jules-and-Boo]

if anyone witnesses anything suspicious and can get car reg then it's a police matter.

especially useful if it's a regular activity (would anyone be that stupid?)

Or report to Crimestoppers to preserve anonymity.

None. It is a very safe. I don't think it's possible to prevent yourself prom breathing, unless you use a noose or a belt.
