The idea
Millions of UK residents, hard working, tax paying, moral people are currently criminalised because of their choice of recreational drug.
Many Brits drink alcohol, many drink it to excess, only to end up in trouble through their foolish drunked actions, or addicted.
It perplexes me that these "drunks" are perfectly legal to wander our streets causing trouble, starting fights, damaging property and costing the Country millions of pounds every year.
When millions of us have to hide in our homes to smoke a little cannabis is completely unacceptable. Cannabis smokers are generally non-violent, cause absolutely no harm to society as a whole, have no detrimental effects on those around them, and enjoy their choice of recreational drug often as a hobby / lifestyle.
It's completely alien to me that you are allowed to go out binge drinking, using a legal drug which is highly addictive and damaging while if you choose to use a less addictive, far less damaging and FAR FAR FAR less socially damaging recreational drug you are classed as a criminal.
This must change before i personally have a shred of respect for the law in this country.
Why is it important?
Because this current victim-less crime makes me, many of my friends and MILLIONS of Brits who are not hurting anyone by breaking this law – CRIMINALS.
