Drugs For Everyone

The next time a politician wants a bit of theatre
on their own terms, and to play with the public
for their own gain by calling for 'a debate on...  ',
and they choose the subject of illegal drugs
then maybe who ever wants to say the present law
is an ass will put this way; 'All drugs are safe;
it is the misusers of drugs (particularly alcohol)
who are unsafe for misusing them'.
The response would run something like
'We agree with you minister that they are not just unsafe
for themselves but dangerous for others-their dependents,
co-workers and community. So minister by all means
use the law against unsafe drug users, and abusers
of substances who abuse those in their care.
But leave alone the people who take their drugs safely'.
The safe should decide for themselves who is safe
and who is not. That should end the debate nicely.
