  • The safe space idea is interesting. Maybe there would be a correlation between the type of drug and risks associated with it and the use of those spaces. I’m not sure people would make the effort to go to a space to smoke when they can do it pretty safely at home.

    I was thinking about this some more yesterday and ultimately land in the area of it’s a good sounding change and if it leads to some instances of antisocial behaviour, then let’s look at how we solve that afterwards. Were never going to find a single perfect solution to everything and meanwhile people are dying.

    I can put my “what about me?!” problems to one side.


  • Seems like a sensible step and possibly free up public services a little for other things? Legalising and taxing feels like a good thing too, but maybe I’m being naieve. Overall though, good for society.

    My biggest worry, and it’s such a selfish worry, is how it affects me. I’ve had neighbours (terrace and semi-detached) who smoke weed and it causes everyone’s house to stink. It’s a shitty experience and something you can’t do a lot about. Would that happen more and more with decriminalisation/legalisation? You can use whatever substances you like, but should I be affected by that choice?

    I’m not sure I trust people to consider others, drugs or not.
