Now that would be fascinating. Britain has a deeply entrenched drinking culture. Regularly getting drunk to the point of vomiting and passing is very common. The managers where I work all live away and stay in hotels when they visit my town every other week. They all go out and get wasted on a Wednesday night (with company funds, totally legitimately) and often don't come into work Thursday so they can drive home in the afternoon when they sober up. All totally normal.

Ban advertising, pub drinking and cheap supermarket booze. Inflate the price and run a massive anti-drinking campaign. It'd be interesting to see how long it'd take for the tide to turn. Also, if we end up going the way of America during prohibition with illicit alcohol flooding the streets, how long that would take to die down and for people to accept it.

But it'll never happen. No politician is even going to think about limiting the availability of alcohol in this country. They'd be so unpopular it'd be political suicide for them and their party.

It's increasingly rare all over. Rolling your own is cheaper but not by much these days. I always preferred the taste of self rolled when I did smoke but most smokers I've found, wherever you go, would prefer to smoke pre-rolled if they can

Keeping opiates illegal just causes the exact problems you're discussing with the other substances, if not more. Opiates are addictive and potentially dangerous yes. So are most drugs, even the ones you mentioned. Yes it could be argued psychedelics are less harmful, there's no real risk of overdose and minimal risk of addiction. I'd also rather live in a world where those are legalised if that's all, rather than the one I'm in now where my country denies cancer patients cannabis but millions of tax payer's pounds are wasted policing idiots drunk in alcohol every week. But let's not pretend psychedelics are completely harmless.

Acting like so called "hard" drugs are some kind of black magic powders where one time trying them will have you hooked for life, ready to sell your own Mother as minced beef just to get your next hit is the same crap people used to say about the other drugs you've listed, including weed. Plenty of people consume them and lead productive lives.

Consenting adults shouldn't be stopped from putting anything they want to into their own bodies. It's called freedom.

If I start repeatedly slamming my own head into a wall, an action that could eventually kill me, as long as I own that wall or have the permission of the wall owner and I'm not getting noise complaints from the neighbours I can legally do it as much as I like.

But I can't legally take the risk of accidentally overdosing on fentanyl. Despite the fact that legalising the drug would mean I can get my hands on product produced in labs which are licensed and vetted so I can see the strength of the substance and be fairly certain of its purity, making overdose infinitely less likely.

What kind of sense does that make?

Damn straight. But sadly weed is is still illegal in most countries, including France

Either that or you just don't like garlic bread. Or both.

Can we all please appreciate the ridiculousness of this stock image? The guy and girl have full plates and glasses and the waitress is holding her closed pad as if she's about to write something down.

I call AI!

You can do that you know, call AI on stuff. I'm going to do it all the time now.

This is the beginning. Soon weed shall be legal in all of Europe. And I won't be able to enjoy it because I live in the UK 🤦‍♂️

There's a few DVDs I bought recently of movies that I couldn't find anywhere. 50/50 about uploading them to a torrent site. I want to but is there any way it could be traced back to me?

His arsehole is going to melt the next morning

Microsoft Developer Studio. It's what Elon Musk uses and he's a genius.
