Has a tightening of the law ever led to a reduction in drug crime or drug deaths?
Of course not. The whole thing is absolutely ridiculous.
As a basic starting point, making laws isn't the bit that tackles crime. It's investigating, arresting, and then prosecuting.
So even if you wanted to have a proper crack at implementing a trad right wing "tough on drugs" policy you need to start with some absolutely fucking epic police and customs funding that makes the furlough scheme look like book tokens from your nan.
As soon as you give it even the most cursory examination, you see how utterly ludicrous it is.
I can't remember the stats, but iirc we currently only capture something like 10% of drugs coming into the UK.

The only way you can fight it is go to the origin; the house of common.

Class A drug use has a huge impact on public health and society both domestically and internationally, just feels like this is more of the same shit that has already failed?
