Thats where your going wrong, you've worked all your life, had you spent your life robbing and stealing then financing a drug habit would have been within your reach.

I can also speak from very recent personal experience when I say that the Police can, and do, exercise discretion.

I think that, now I'm too old to do it.

Heroin doesn't kill.

Impure heroin kills, pure heroin is one of the safest drugs you can take - far safer than alcohol, tobacco, aspirin or paracetamol. Sorry if the facts get in the way of a good rant.

What make "heroin" unsafe is the garbage its cut with on the streets. So regulate it, make it legal and overnight you'd kill off the drug dealers income, you'd at a stroke make heroin use safe again.

Who's with me? Makes sense - tho i seriously doubt any politician would have the balls or honesty to say it as the tabloids hit the "shriek" button at the mention of drugs.

as an aside, what would that do to the drug related crime figures if you could buy cheap, safe, regulated heroin in tescos?

Yes i know - utter madness

Another day goes bye and I have lost a little more faith.

For those of you that have not seen the story this morning, a drug dealer was caught with over £50'000 worth of class A poison.
He had thousands of pounds of Heroin, Cocaine, Ectasy, Crystal Meth and about 3 bin liners full of Cannibis.

He was found guilty of possesion with intent to supply the huge haul onto the streets of Britain.

And his punishment............a 12 month suspended sentance.

No prison, just told that if he re-offends he will be in trouble 

The police are furious apparantly and rightly so.
If that example does'nt show how out of touch these judges are then I don't know what will.

Why don't they build more prisons FFS!!
Get the scum off the streets and keep them behind bars where they belong.....serious sentances for serious criminals.

I would like to see an automatic 25 year prison sentance for anybody found guilty of selling Class A.

If somebody is selling tiny amounts to fund their habit...then force them into rehab to get them the help that they need.

But these heartless cruel murderous scumbags who never touch the stuff, just sell it to make money.....I honestly don't think that 25 years is too harsh at all

I'm open to any possibility of exterminating Drug Dealers, no matter how controversial the idea may seem.
I don't know for certain what idea would work and which one's would'nt.

What I do know for sure though is that community punishments for people found guilty of this hideous crime is wrong.

No matter what way you look at it...It's wrong, It's a crime that deserves severe punishment.

I just can't believe how this is happening

There's a degree of merit in attempting to imaginably deal with the increasing problem of drug use, be it legal/prescription or illegal - so your suggestion should not be discounted out of hand.

Much as I support new thinking in the way we police changing social habits (where they presently impinge on criminal law), I feel that Kevin has made an important observation - which can't be ignored - as for the most part...

All drug dealers are scum and should be treated as sub-human.

They do so much damage to our society and so many people within it, so we must make our legal system much tougher on this issue.  Prison sentences?  No!!

Instead we should do what many countries do; execute them as you would multiple murderers in any country with a strong legal system!  These people kill, they wreck lives, so why shouldn't they forfeit their life?!

I think they should get a dose of their own medicine for a month, followed by cold turkey the next, repeating until they've done their time.
