I think with the cops a suprising number would actually support a phased decriminalisation/legalisation of all drugs but not just one being reclassified, after all they are the ones at the frontline and IMO all of Britain (both the users and the law enforcers) collectively fucked up when cannabis was class C
it would be like cops having a faulty and potentially dangerous panda car and when they took it to the mechanics being told that the police authority had told them there was only the resources to fix half the faults, and that a bunch of people what knew jack shit about cars also had to power to dictate what mechanics were employed or even do the work themselves..
also although MDMA by itself is a safe drug inasmuch as you will very rarely die from taking it (compared to other drugs), it does have impact on others as heavy users suffer severe mood swings and depression
They can often take their feelings out on others close to them, particularly midweek. This IMO was the greatest problem decent pills caused to society “back in the day…”. I know from back in the 90s a lot of ravers had fairly serious domestic problems midweek on comedowns… also a lot of problematic K users turned to this drug after “MDMA stopped working” (thus exacerbating their mental problems).
realistically our only hope would be if all the youths now taking drugs (age 16 upwards) were sensible enough to self-regulate their use and not cause other social problems. If this did actually happen there would be a chance of decriminalisation by the time all of us are elderly…
