I guess they turned into losers as opposed to (as I said) JOINED as losers......

.............As a result of their exposure to Police culture?

Not really mate. The fact that you can GET help doesn't mean you're likely to SEEK help.

I hope you can understand that little "subtlety".

Yes I do. To seek help ya first need ta recognize ya have a problem. IMHO and experience, ya have to be ready to change before you can change. Doesn't matter if ya talking about seeking counseling or trying ta kick a habit. This still does not prove that legalising a drug would increase the likelihood of an addict seeking help. I would put it to you that an addict is more likely to seek help after they start having major problems in their lives due to their habit. Getting in trouble with the law being one of those.
Has freeing up our gambling laws helped gambling addicts

I totally agree. You can lead a horse to the water but you can't make it drink!

All I am saying is that if we instead of taking the hardline approach (which has shown itself not to prevent people from becoming addicts anyway) - at least engage in a discussion on the subject and approach the manner in a rational way we might be able to help more people accept and realise they have a problem but there's help to be had - which in turn could increase their chances of getting their addiction under control.

Just for the record - I voted "No" in the poll because if we were to make an exception to the current substance restrictions P wouldn't be my choice - cannabis would.
However, and this is my own philosophical stand point and therefore not open for debate, I don't think there should be any restrictions upon what substances you were allowed to consume - but then again I'm ultra liberal and do realise that such an approach probably wouldn't work for a lot of people. But hey, it's ideology - it's not meant to be realistic!
I've noted that a lot of people on here has a standard response of "Fuck off!" if anyone tries to tell them what they can and can not do in regards to their own lives - for me, this is exactly the same!

For what it's worth I don't do any drugs besides alcohol and a small amount of weed on rare occasions. I'm not arguing this view because I hope that I might legalise my own behaviour - hell if that was the case I'd argue against speed limits, but then again I actually wouldn't...


I don't know about the gambling - but question is, has it made the problem of gambling worse?

...need to remind one guy that I am not in fact God. Another that I am not 'his sexy beast' and convince our newest client that her cat did not die and turn into a mango but in fact is living happily with her parents. *sigh*

Fair enough all this. I'm still tryin to figure out where you are coming from. What is your expertise ? You offer advice, yet you mentioned in one post you dont have a bank account. I know for a fact that Health haven't paid cash in decades. Your right about most your comments tho.
