Decriminalise all illegal drugs in UK
As someone who was wrongly educated on drugs, I propose the government to decriminalise all drugs and provide support to those who take drugs.
80-90% of people who take drugs DO NOT have a problem yet are criminalised and are prevented to get certain jobs.
We need change now!
Portugal decriminalised drugs in 2001 which has seen a 50% decrease in HIV/AIDS statistics.
80-90% of people who take drugs take them unproblematically.
Support don't punish!!
Harm reduction
As someone who was brought up around drugs, I have never taken illegal drugs; society thinks I do. I drink alcohol and smoke tobacco which kill more people in a year than someone who takes illegal drugs.
LET'S MAKE THIS CHANGE HAPPEN AND SUPPORT OUR SOCIETY NOT PUNISH THOSE WHO DO NOT CONFORM!!
