    The consumption room plan is supported by Scottish National Party, Labour and Liberal Democrat politicians but the UK Home Office insists “there is no safe way to take illegal drugs”.

    There is no ideal way. Drugs are dangerous, but people take them. I am disappointed by the resistance to legalise drugs. While drugs are illegal, they are unmonitored. I don’t take drugs myself. I don’t even drink anymore

      One of the reasons illegal drugs are as dangerous as they are is because they are illegal. Their illicit nature means they are manufactured and distributed without any proper oversight or regulation, leading to dangerous lack of quality control.

      If recreational drugs could be purchased with proper standards for purity, dosage etc they would be much safer for their users.

        Sure but look at alcohol, the consumer knows exactly what he’s purchasing. Didn’t stop a person I knew from dying from this shit.

        Drugs should be difficult to get to reduce the chances of recreational use.
