@FreddieUK He means taking control back from gangs, turning it into a medical, public health-led approach. The Greens are saying that the current system just keeps criminal gangs rich and street corners dangerous and by regulating and licensing drugs you treat addiction as a health issue rather than a criminal one, which actually reduces crime and saves lives, as is happening in Portugal.

It just moves the problem off street corners and into doctor's offices. It's a good idea.

@Waveney I am all for a public health-led approach. We had one, alongside laws about supply, at one time. Having worked in the field for 30yrs or more and hearing from advocates of. de-criminalising, legalising and harsher penalties for being an addict, I am very much in favour of de-criminalisation of use (not legalisation) and heavy penalty for supply.

'A good idea' is always a personal judgement.

@Waveney thatcher was a disaster, ruined the economy deliberately

Probably did it with cowboy ronnie the movie b minus star, the potus that made the orange monster inevitable

@Waveney Just 1%?! And the amount of times they make headlines for doing fucked up shit? Even more reason to get rid of them...
Yes the Tories are bad, this I agree 100% with. But I feel like a lot of British people would be concerned with their safety first more than anything.
