    Default drink or drugs which is worst/Caithness drug dealers - merged threads

    The Polis seem to be getting on top of the illegal drugs problem in our County at long last.
    What's the general feeling on appropriate punishment for those who choose to pollute our County with such stuff?

    From what I've seen they are getting on top of the easy catches that aren't doing much harm and leaving the more serious criminals alone. All for their stats and nothing else.

    Area Commander Andy Brown was certainly doing something about them, but they soon got rid of him!

    Also there is a demand. Not saying it is right but there always will be a demand. If we get rid of the small scale local dealers we will get the organised crime gangs take their place. If you want organised crime and guns then continue going after the small fry. I know which I would rather have.
    Also it seems they can't get rid of the more serious criminals, especially in Wick with all the intimidation of witnesses. This is why they go after the smaller, less troublesome people. TBH most of the people they have caught recently were causing no real trouble (again from what I have seen, I am not one of those people who runs to the newsagent every wed/fri and sticks my nose in the courts section).

    Jail them and make them go cold turkey. But also agree the police must go after the big fry. Drug dealing is a multi billion enterprise in the U.K. There must be collusion in the top echelons of the so called elite that never gets caught to allow this to continue.

    I never said anything about a "conspiracy." What an orderly world you live in, where everything is as you are told it is on the BBC, or in the newspapers, and no one ever has any motive for anything, except what is allowed under the officially-sanctioned conspiracy theory, of course.

    "Money talks," Tub. I heard that somewhere. Quite an old saying I think you'll find.

    Money only talks it there is lots and lots and lots of it - who do you know up here as what has that sort of money?
    Some people are like Slinkies. They're really good for nothing. But they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs.

    And what a thoroughly entertaining world you live in Stavros, with everything in doubt except what you actually see and feel yourself. Money talks, I believe it probably does, and the very fact that you're on this here computer broadband thing shows you have some, and therefore are a willing participant in the great conspiracy!

    Statistics show that the costs of rehabilitating...looking after alcoholics... far outweighs the the revenue the Gov't makes from the sales......and why legalize/ decriminalize another drug.
    Just doesn't make sense...yes Countries have attempted to de-criminalize it but then how can you legally buy it??? Just tooooo complicated....
    I hate to challenge your theory about the kids and the knifings etc...not true......So... to each his/her own!

    Quite ridiculous to criminalise people for enjoying such a natural substance.

    I don't think you'd have a night club full of stoners. How would the proprietor pay for staff and heating costs etc? Also it wouldn't be much craic, would it?
    The music probably wouldn't be up to much either.
