Two years for ‘gardener’ in cannabis raid (From Daily Echo)

How is a drug raid any different from Attila and the Huns attacking a peaceful city-state to take people prisoner and loot their homes?

You mean "tw@"

Doesn't hurt anyone, and is much less socially damaging than alcohol.

There is no mention in this report if the police, immigration, or prison authorities in this country have liaised with the Vietnamese authorities regarding Toan Phungs' impoverished familys' welfare back home, as they will be suffering unsupported for the next two years until he is free to start earning again and pay off his debt to the kind smuggling gang who found him some employment, and before he can continue supporting them again in turn. I just hope the prison welfare staff will help him with all the support he will be in need of.
Also incidentally, if he had been able to continue in his chosen career without the authorities interference he would have probably continued to use the services of money transfer agencies e.g. Western Union, to send money to his family, like so many immigrants, legal and illegal, do, and thus helping keep those agencies employees in employment, and therefore helping with the economy of this country.

You trollin'

The war on drugs is surprisingly similar to the war on terror. Invading poor countries to get terrorists, Invading poor estates to get dealers. Destroy homes, confiscate property and jail families of terror suspects. Destroy homes, confiscate property and jail families of Drug suspects. Both accidentally kill and imprison thousands of innocent people. Both ignore underlining causes, both waste billions of pounds, both are a fail.

I dislike drug dealers and children using drugs or becoming enticed by gangsterism, so i say NO to prohibition and NOW to legal regulation.

Quick, show me an example of a home being destroyed, or families of drug suspects being imprisoned as a result of a drug raid in the UK.

Quick? LOL

Lets talk about how medicinal cannabis users have there houses raided, property either destroyed or confiscated for growing a plant safer than alcohol, tobacco and pharmaceutical drugs. How they are torn away from their friends and family, their life blighted by getting arrested, criminal record, or by being jailed. While real criminals roam as police focus energy on grow ops, in a futile attempt to deliver a blow to organized crime. Yes, when I was comparing the war on drugs to the war on terror, i was speaking in generalities. Do you know what happens in places like Mexico? Simply because of the drug policy. Even in the UK, this unjust law and ridiculous drug policy is causing way more harm than good. Cannabis isnt harmless, but dont fool yourself into believing its legality is associated with its harms. As its the safest drug on this planet..So while prohibition exists, kids will still find cannabis easier to obtain than alcohol and tobacco, dealers will still get richer and richer, people using cannabis for medicinal or recreational purposes become victims. You dont have to like cannabis, or even care one way or another about the plant itself. But you must understand the dangers of prohibition cause more harm than cannabis ever could. Or have I wasted my time on a prohibitionist?

..But most users don’t use it for medicinal purposes; unfortunately cannabis (yes like alcohol) gets misused by many people and end up having expensive psychiatric treatment on the N.H.S which I as a taxpayer resent.
I say well done to the Police for catching Toan Phung and hope they catch many more like him.
