After reading the first paragraph on the this article which is “The body that advises the government on illegal drugs is meeting to discuss whether ecstasy should be downgraded from a Class A drug to Class B.” I laughed to myself and sat there thinking about boffins sitting in a government headquarters somewhere, suited up, talking about the ‘effects’ of drug use…

Let me get something straight from the start, I do not condone the usage of any form of narcotics (Heck I have a beer every now and again, and very little else)

However, seeing the government starting to buckle under what seems to be social pressure towards drug usage makes me pretty sick. Now I have no problem if people want to pump their bodies full of narcotics to have a good time, Hell if they wanna screw up their lives with drug use then be my guest! I’ll just laugh… probably because its funny to see dependance and humans going hand in hand, anyway I digress.

Naturally occuring substances im a little more, forgiving with… for example marijuana, it grows naturally so why should people not experiment with it? Magic Mushrooms are naturally occuring aswell, as is opium etc (to my knowledge?) however it is the usage of chemically created drugs that people use that bother me, most people will learn the ingrediants of these chemical drugs while they’re between 12 and 16 at school (in the UK anyway) however, most will not learn of the manufacturing processes where any number of contaminants can slip into the compound and ruin your life to the point of “one hit and your dead” scenario’s. Wow i’ve gone really off topic havent I?

But the fact that the government is down-grading these drugs to Cat B perhaps is pretty stupid, its just going to encourage more and more of the accidents with them you see in night clubs etc… increase their accessability etc… and when the country’s “youth” is in such turmoil about almost everything, you think they’d be throwing the nanny sheet over them too… but obviously not. Hopefully they downgrade it and then watch the number of overdose cases go sky high, then panic… Sorry people, but I suggest you stay away from those lovely drugs…
