That's a bit soft isn't it?..why not give them this...And after that you could really lose your temper!

On the basis that anyone can eff up I do believe that if a person gets hooked up to drugs they should be offered a residential rehab session on the NHS and if they should fall off the wagon a second residential session - but that's it.
If they fall off again then goodnight nurse.
However it is absolutely pointless to try to do anything to disrupt the drug culture with any form of legislation and prohibition by continuing to waste huge amounts of resources and money that will achieve nothing.

Re: Drug dealers sentence
HiBefore I became ill at the end of July I had a set to with the drug dealer who has moved in next door.
A thirty something shaven headed tattoed prat.
I was just the old man next door, someone who was to be ignored, he was the hard man.
That went wrong, he was not going to be dealing off my crossover and most certainly not going to be laughing at my son being taken out on a sled after a severe seizure and then gobbing into my garden and thinking it was funny.
I told him to stop, he decided to hit me, the old man, not a threat.
He lost, I won, only hit him gently but put him down.
Who got into trouble?
Me.
He reported me.
Life is very strange now, not what happened when I was working.
I got warned by the Police, simply because I told him next time he threatened my son I would put him in Hospital.
Life is not was it was, I would have been the victim, but now a total scumbag is now the victim.
I give up.

OK.My last couple of posts were a bit of black humour. Sorry. This isn;t a humorous subject. So, do you mind if I ask you a couple of questions about this?..It's only for the sake of discussion. YOu are entitled to your opinion of course.But.. firstly, does your opening sentence mean that there is never coercion on the part of dealers?.More importantly with respect to the second part of your post, could you elaborate on what you mean by "deal harshly with users" ? There are many different kinds of drug users. They are of all ages from young teenagers to octagenarians and older. The oldest heroin user I ever knew of (professionally) was in her mid eighties. Some confessions. I used to share the odd joint with my surfer friends on the beach. I have played in bands and used drugs in my younger days., I used cannabis and acid at University. I have used grass over the years but not since aroind 10 years ago. I tried heroin once. Never again. I was never much of a drinker. So, what would you do with me? What level of harshness could I expect if you could decide back then. Not knowing anything else about me.? JUst curious.

The addicts arent the ones who need to be dealt harshly with, some of these people are victims. String the pushers up. I despise them

But there seems to be too much onus on them being punished, and not enough on those who keep them in business. Rarely is anyone prosecuted for having drugs on them for "personal use". This is, IMHO, a large part of the problem. Buying drugs is simply adding to the problem as it feeds the whole supply chain.
Anyone, and I mean anyone, who is caught with ANY form of illicit drug on them needs to be dealt with properly. This could include on the spot fines, a requirement to attend courses to explain why their actions are so damaging, up to incarceration.
Think of other offences. Driving over the speed limit is rarely overlooked, with automatic fines, penalty points (which affect insurance premiums), awareness courses, possible loss of employment and sometimes imprisonment. Why? Because speeding is viewed as potentially dangerous, not only for the person speeding, but others.
Why then, is speeding dealt with more harshly than owning/using drugs?
It just seems to make sense that if we can make the demand for drugs smaller by making the prospect of even carrying or using them more unappealing (to say the least), then the whole problem becomes smaller.
