Bonzo77 Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 I tried it a few years ago , a couple of times. It's a bit like having old phet Don't know what the fuss is really , it definitely wasn't addictive to me. I think very few class A drugs are as highly addictive as they're made out to be. I've tried just about all of them (apart from heroin) and never got addicted, and I've got a very addictive personality. I can't cut out the drink and cigarettes though. I think it's more of a lifestyle choice. If I were still on the road, touring with my band mates and not a dad, maybe I'd still partake in some of them. But as for the drugs themselves, I didn't find any of them physically addictive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclone Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 I don't think this is corruption at all. I think it's a combination of lack of intellectual rigour, moralising, believing they have a right and responsibility to rule people and trying to win votes.

Magilla Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Khat banned and classified as a class C drug. Good. It's an addictive amphetamine and as such sets the users at a higher risk of suffering from cardiac problems. Odd then that the governments own advisory panel seems to think otherwise. What qualifications do you have that outweighs their view? Just have a cup of tea instead at social gatherings if Khat was the initial prop. You couldn't make it up!!

Halibut Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 the reality is at last something is being done to stop the pandering to other cultures....its a start:thumbsup: Even by your standards, that's a thoroughly witless remark Matty. Here's a question for you. Do you think it's a good thing that the government should ignore the judgement and reason of a panel of exports and do it's own thing?

SevenRivers Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Bad idea. Overnight, user and importers become criminals and a black market is created. That's generally the idea when something is criminalised. ---------- Post added 20-06-2014 at 20:00 ---------- Khat banned and classified as a class C drug. Good.

Cardiac problems? I'd imagine alcohol, tobacco and high fat foods stuffs do more health damage. I'd have (a) made it a controlled substance that can be taxed and (b) banned it in public places.

Bonzo77 Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 And so they should be ,and now they can be dealt with as such , hopefully with prison sentences. Where will you get your cheap fags from then? Your standards are so bent! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
