No unfortunately our drugs minister owns British sugar which is the company that runs GW pharmaceuticals legal garden. Who in turn are the largest exporter of medicinal cannabis in the world. believe it or not. So legalisation I can’t see anytime soon.
The Brits are specialists commercing with drugs . In the 19th century the British empire sold opium galore from India to the Chinese. When China protested because of the damage this drug was doing to the population, there were two wars that the Brits won and finally had Hong Kong as compensation, business is business …
You need to change that first line to “the British elite” and it’s still very much the case. You think we spent time in Afghanistan for a holiday? We were seizing poppy fields. Not burning them. What reason would we need to seize fields full of poppies. The opioid crisis is the mutant lovechild of UK and US top tiers greed. Unfortunately these things won’t change and there’s fuckall I can do about it personally. Or want to for that matter. I’m living my life as I choose and as it stands nobody bothers me. I don’t bother them. Cept you obviously @George
I hope you won’t think I bother you , drugs and war would need a whole thread to discuss about them (remember Oliver North and the Iran - Contra scandal?).
Cept you? , please try to speak to me as a sioux would do, haven’t found a Collins Cockney dictionary and I am too old to learn a new language …
