Lots of the misery caused by drugs illegality. Costs the state in terms of enforcement, incarceration, treatment and drug related crimes. Not sure about making all drugs legal, for one thing most of the new virtual untested chems would not be of interest to most people if they had access to some of the safer drugs. Governments are starting to do a u-turn with regards to LSD and MDMA and recognizing their potential for treatment for things like depression. Funny thing is they were used for just that before they were made illegal.
United State, a country known for it's staunch position on the war on drugs, was historically strongly opposed even to the potential medical benefits of medicinal marijuana, now several state have legalised, for just that.

I'm all for this period actually. Let darwin work with free hands for a few days.

If you genuinely think a few hours of these drugs being legal will lead to all the 'imbeciles killing themselves', then you are closer to a Darwin award than they are.

It wouldn't be worth millions if it was legal

Washington and Colorado have legalized weed, for fun too. Legal for everybody above legal age. You don't have to pretend to be depressed or ill.

The illicit trade in cigarettes is worth hundreds of millions of euro in Ireland, even though cigarettes are legally available.

You can walk down by Busáras and purchase methadone or heroin, even though methadone is supplied legally by the health services, funded by taxpayers.

A 500% tax will do that to anything. Look at garlic man.

Methadone is supplied for addiction treatment. Methadone ≠ heroin.

I wonder how the illegal marijuana trade is getting on in Colorado? And how are the bootleggers getting on these days with moonshine whiskey?

Funny how the Trioka demanded we bring in water charges and reform our legal system.

Yet we're only hearing about water charges

Ah so not only do you want drugs legalized, you want drugs to be kept cheap too?

Tobacco consumption is estimated to cost Ireland €3.5 billion per annum, €500 million of which is direct costs to the HSE. Taxation from tobacco doesn't pay for the economic costs of smoking, even at the present high rate of taxation.

Methadone is supplied for addiction treatment. Methadone ≠ heroin.

Methadone is sold in areas of Dublin city centre by individuals on takeaway treatment programs. Its effects mirror those of street-heroin, being lower in magnitude but longer lasting.

This is all fairly off-topic, but they're currently priced according to risk, so they're not cheap (relative to what it would cost to legally manufacture them).

The prices could be left at "street prices" and still be an absolutely enormous take for the exchequer, at the expense of criminal gangs the money currently goes to.

I'm not supportive of tobacco, I just pointed out using the garlic man as an example that a huge% tax on anything at all will cause some scale of black market.

I'd be in favour of using something like David Nutt's researched scale of harm for legislation/regulation. You know, one that is backed up by research and science into actual harm and affects.. but I won't hold my breath.

I know exactly what it is, which is why your reference doesn't make sense. They're addicted to heroin, that's why there is a black market in the weaker methadone. They can't go back to their chemist and demand more methadone (or heroin, obviously) can they?
Neither are sold recreationally at all. It's an invalid comparison.

horse tranquillisers are now legal to imbibe in this state , whilst mild forms of weed are illegal - shows how out of touch the judiciary (the people who rule this ****ing state) are . The devastation of addiction is only encountered across the safe halls of a courthouse , but certainly not in there Ballsbridge neighbourhood.
Sometimes the law really is an ass

Ketamine is primarily used to sedate humans in a medical setting for the relief of pain. It's a sedative. The labeling of it as solely a "horse tranquiliser" is very misleading.

It's primarily used to make humans think the table in the room is far too bendy than it should be, and that they should probably not stand on the table as it's too bendy, and they'll probably end up bendy, if they stand on the table that is bendy, but they still want to stand on the table because they're feeling bendy, and standing on it might make both them and the table less bendy.

Crystal Meth wasn't/isn't affected in the slightest.

in fairness, most sane countries start by legalising softer drugs , but not us - we are legislated by bafoons up in the High courts , who have no idea about getting high, addiction , drug culture good or bad - just a knowledge of good brandy legal loopholes whilst legislating over our banana Republic, with a tidy stipend

yipeeeee

So what was unconstitutional about the law anyway?

Don't see anyone going out and doing drugs that wasn't so inclined anyway just because it's legal to be fair. Worst case scenario some punter does mushrooms and has a row with his goldfish.

I think the "illegality" is the fact that new drugs were just added to the list by ministers rather than voted on. Seems like a spurious argument.

If there is some massive spike in drug related injuries, this will be harped on about for ages by the anti-legalisation cronies.

"Don't legalise marijuana, sure look at what happened to the poor kids when they made ecstacy legal and they all got in that bus and then drove it to Cavan for a rave! And young Mary's lad went and ate a handful of radox or bath salts or something and he was found four days later, knee deep in Bovril in Birr!!!"

Hans Bricks

Going by some posters naivete, you would swear the drug culture only came into existence this morning. No the A+E won't be clogged up, natural selection won't take place, but you can be damn sure this inadvertent move of competency will be reversed to continue wasting money fighting the war on stoners and recreational drug users :rolleyes:
