Drug prohibition costs lives


Recommended Posts

The more you examine Britain's drug policies the more you'll shake your head in disbelief.

 

The suffering being caused by our war on drugs has had devestating conseques for society.

 

I don't believe Britain is ready for a ceasefire yet, but when that day eventually comes there will need to be truth & reconciliation to finally bring this sorry chapter of human history to an end.

Were you trying to make a point?

Cars continue to kill people, water continues to kill people.

Drugs kill (more) people because of prohibition.

 

Drugs as a whole have not killed proportionally more people in England in 2016 than they did in 2015.

Proportional deaths from heroin and morphine have fallen.

 

What was the point that you were making?

Is this wrong then?

 

Drug deaths hit record high in England and Wales, new statistics show...

The Office for National Statistics (ONS) said 3,744 people – 2,572 men and 1,172 women – were fatally poisoned by both legal and illegal drugs in England and Wales in 2016, 70 more than the previous year and the highest number since comparable statistics began in 1993.
