Not if u define winning as something impossible eg "remove all drugs today". But there are wins that are achieved such as protecting the NHS. Legalisation might open the floodgates, causing the NHS to become overloaded with heroin users whose breathing has slowed down too much. This could mean less money spent on eg curing cancer. Ultimately the win will come when scientists develop a way to stop opioids from working eg stopping them from binding to the opioid receptors in our brains
It is very winable. But it requires a whole sale look at the law/punishment and to stop giving these scrotes easy get out clauses. Fact most drug dealers make most their money from the benefit system/council tax. Without benefits paying the rent the little cannabis operation would not work.
There's a hard core of long-term benefit claimants who cʊd get a crap job eg cleaner but they're just like "i'm intelligent; life is short; u need to offer me a job that's well-paid & interesting or i'm just going to stay in bed" IMO the gov shud pay them handsomely to train as eg electricians.

Every year it is the same old story. 'We have taken another dealer of the street' Yeah? Well for the past 30 years - I have been able to get any drug when I want. But thanks to prohibition - I don't know the purity or if I am even getting the drug that I asked for which makes it very dangerous. If I could buy MDMA over the counter - I know that 100mg would be the perfect dose for me and would not have any problems. It makes sense to legalise and regulate all drugs.
I had an argument with someone about this couple days ago. People are just so blind and almost stupid. Legalisation of class a would take it out the hands of gangs and criminals and the police would be free because crime commited to get the money would go down. People would also get help and rehabilitation. People don't see it like this!

It's a fact, the more intense drug enforcement is, the faster the problem grows. That's what happens when you start busting drug dealers- you create a vacuum. You end up with 2, 3, 4 more dealers just to fill the void of the dealer you just took down. The problem grows exponentially. However, when you look at decriminalization, it's the exact opposite. It reduces overall use statistics more dramatically than a Filipino death squad.

@BNOZ99 ! Your online talking like you know me personally , you need to grow up seriously. Save that energy for people you meet in person, not to others you don't know behind the safety of your computer screen.
I felt sorry for him in that moment when he was on the floor with the drugs in his mouth. And then the officer talking about how this is going to make the area a safer neighbourhood. Because we know now that the war on drugs is fundamentally flawed, that what is needed is decriminalisation similar to what has happened in Portugal and Switzerland. That young man was a symptom of the problem not the cause.
Ultimately if a person (unfortunately) decides to consume drugs there isn't much law can do about it. Emphasis should be placed on educating people about these substances and showing them that they don't affect your life positively. But if a person still decides to use them it's their choice, why should anyone be able to tell anyone else what they can and can't put in their own body.
you want to make the community a safer place? legalise drugs and marijuana, tax it and put it into community projects and services. that way you’re not only regulating and lowering the risk of narcotics but you’re also putting suitable funding into poorer communities that need it.
Because by asking someone to sell to you then you are inviting someone to commit a crime. The state can't be seen to do that. We know it's bullshit. But that's what the police are up against. The law pretty much ties their hands. Behind their backs.
Paul Gibbons no. Entrapment would be to supply the dealers with drugs then bust them. If he just sold from his own Stash to an undercover he does so off his own free will (he’s not encouraged or tricked by the cops to commit the crime but he’s willing) it wouldn’t be entrapment. Cops do undercover buys all the time. But it’s not easy with a lot of these guys. They very wary of new people. The cops like to make arrest straight away during a reverse buy, they don’t like to walk away and let the guy continue to sell to the community so multiple ‘buys’ are probably rarer, making that one undercover deal a big big risk that could blow their investigation & make the guys go under the radar for a bit. I’m guessing they would maybe do it after exhausting other investigative techniques. But is deffo not entrapment, he’s already dealing.
He may be selling drugs that harm people but people buy them for alot of reasons and often linked to mental health. If mental health treatment was more easily available and quick to access people wouldnt be "im depressed but i can feel better if i go and buy some class A's' it should be 'i feel depressed so ill ring my doctor and theyll see me today and i will be ok and i wont have to self medicate'
The war on drugs is stupid and not winnable. Legalise all drugs and let people make the life decisions they choose. The government would make bank off it aswell.

they shouldn't but society is just that
Kingpins wouldn’t be our shotting in ‘crackalley’
Maybe instead of trageting individuals that society has failed you should focus on restructuring communities?
The main cause of crime is poverty always has been and people are still shocked with this
@GrandPianolaMusic what you on about the main cause of crime is poverty not saying owt about rich people they can still be criminals

@GrandPianolaMusic i can tell by your name you're probably white and never had to watch your mum struggle to pay for basics
@GrandPianolaMusic not saying there the worst but the reasons are valid
Kingpins don’t deal themselves on the streets. Kingpins don’t even come near the drugs they have people doing it for them.

Dealers getting raided by dealers who claim to be the police loooool
Catching drug dealers must feel like a colossal waste of time. It doesn't effect the drug availability at all.
make it all legal, then you can control it.
My thoughts exactly. I’ve seen documentaries where even police officers have said that.
All that effort to catch a dealer who will get a year inside and that's if he's unlucky.
Drug use isn't meant to be fought via law enforcement
drugs R bad mmmmkay
its supply and demand, people want him to supply them with drugs, they made a conscious choice, why arent both parties convicted.
Because we don't have enough space in jail. So standards slipped and keep on slipping.
Is this streetblogs?
Crackhead pigs try and lock up a top roadman cos he wouldn't give their mums a discount
He's in Dartmoor now. They are trying to deport him
Why didn't they just send an undercover agent to buy drugs from him?
