Legalize certain drugs. Certain rec "drugs" are too harmful to the body/mind and should still be controlled. State regulated supply for the legalized drugs to ensure quality control and taxation.

treat drugs like other drugs are currently treated in the UK.
alcohol/coffee/ibruprofen - freely available within quality control constraints to over eighteens.
harder drugs - prescription only.
it would marginalise the criminal element, ensure people get a consistently safe product, and bring revenue into the exchequer.

Interesting that no-one has supported the current policies and next to no-one supports 'more of the same only worse'.
It does leave the question of who our politicians are appealing to with their moribund approach?

I fail to grasp the difference between the last two options. Plus does the UK's licensing system regards the sale of alcohol come under state control?

If it's legal, it's not cool.
Yes but what would we be doing on the other side all that, we would be actively supporting some very sick people, there is a lot of tragedy at the other side of our supply. We can make rules here but we can't change the very nature of the trade it's from south America and those controlling it are scum, how exactly are you going to legalize it without destroying lives. I do not want to pay taxes for that.
I'd assume that they'll only be selling drugs made by themselves... I'm sure the current medical suppliers are capable of making more than they are now with few problems.
EDIT: Btw, that's the reason I will never, ever touch any drug, no pot or anything. I don't want to support an industry that kills thousands every year.

My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.
I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.
