Post in What should Police priorities be in South Headington and Quarry?

For once I find myself thoroughly and totally in agreement with Joan Williams
on the subject of Drugs, and I have to say that Jock is confused in his
position on drugs, and considering what he does for a living I find his
attitude totally irresponsible and maybe he ought to consider his position, and
I hope Rex Knight finds out what Jock thinks on the subject.

My position on drugs is that they need to be kept illegal and that they need to
be firmly stamped under.  Maybe Jock should try reading the Nicholas Kane Blog
about why drugs should be kept illegal.
Does Jock not understand about the harm that drugs can do to one's mental
health? that they cause schizophrenia, psychosis and deep level paranoia.
These substances cause memory loss and make people become violent and unstable.
I just happen to have friends who work in the Mental Health service industry.
Drugs are linked to serious and organised crime, both in our country and
overseas.
Long heavy harsh prison sentences are what one deserves for doing drugs, like
they have in Malaysia and Singapore, it seems to me they have the right idea.
When it comes to drugs there should be No excuses offered and No exceptions
made.  For me Zero Tolerance is the only way to get the message across.
