Re: Death by Drugs @BobRocket

Every year approximately 80,000 people in England and Wales are convicted or cautioned for possession of drugs.

Those criminal records harm us all.

Bob,

Any chance you can elaborate on this part of your post please? The rest of it I understand, and as it happens agree with, but this part.... Well, to be honest, I'm struggling with it.

RoO act means that vanishingly few of those convictions are declared for more than a few months, or years at the most. It seems the harm they do to their recipients can best be described as transitory, unless they wish to emigrate or work in a regulated profession (children etc).

I've given it some consideration and I can't see what harm it does a third party (me, in this instance). As far as I can see it does me, and anyone unrelated to those convicted, no harm at all. I'll happily admit I've missed your point, which is why I'm asking for clarification please.
