    £18m cocaine seizure

    Even taking their inevitable overestimate at face value, of a £4 billion annual market they’ve managed to seize 0.325%. This will have absolutely no effect whatsoever on the street. They’ve achieved nothing. They’ve just managed to waste shit loads of time and money. Prohibition doesn’t work.

    Edit: lols@downvotes, like are they in denial or just shooting the messenger?

      There is no way the system isn’t riddled with officials making money from drugs being unregulated and untaxed. So they want it to remain as is. Then there are DailyFail idiots who just want drugs (but not their wine) illegal.

      Anyone with half a brain can see we should just legalize, regulate and tax drugs. We waste so much time, energy and money fighting ourselves.
