a few politicians may have seen the effects of mushrooms on their pals at uni, seeing them pale and confused made them vow never to touch the evil fungus, hence class a
some politicians have tried dope know its not that bad but was probably sick once and never touched it again, hence class b
politicians know that ketamine is given to horses as a tranquilizer, marvellous animals, majestic caring hardworking beasts so therefore ketamine cant be that bad!!!
hence class c

do any of you drink on transport on your way home from a night out? cos it's the end of the night that trouble usually happens innit... but i'm sure people only drink on the tube/buses at the beginning of their night, before £3.50 pint time

spot on.
there's so much stigma connected to taking drugs. It's automatically assumed that if you smoke weed you are going to be slow, pretty stupid and unable to do anything properly. The problem is that it is almost impossible to gain credibility as an individual within political circles if you have a history of drug taking. This means there is noone within the cabinet who has had any real experience of what the effects of different drugs are and how they make you react. it's a vicious cycle that will be impossible to change for as long as i can see.
and as for the whole input of pharmaceutical companies, don't even get me started....

italian politician pannella smashed by giving out spliffs from a booth in central rome as a protest, sadly he was arrested and sentenced, but still a heavy politician and to this day still joins protests the man is in his 70's i think!!

britain needs more open minded politicians like pannella in order to keep a decent balance...

Drinking on the tube is one of the things that makes going places more fun. Taking that away is just bollocks.

one of the best reclamations of public space I have ever witnessed - pole dancing, covering those crappy adverts with your own art, covering the halogen lights with nice colours, music, drinks, commuters joining in and all in good spirit and mirth - don't think it will ever happen again on that scale now that Boris 'party pooper' Johnson has arrived. Thankfully I'm going to Leeds for Uni - might not bother coming back to London cos its looking shitter everyday.

the law fails to recognise that drunks who cause trouble on buses/trains tend to already be drunk before getting on, anyway.

Nothing wrong with being pissed in the park on a lovely summer's day though.

delendi · Post by **delendi** » Thu May 08, 2008 3:36 pm

HOLD UP THO... is this actually a LAW or is it 'no longer permitted'?
