"The change coincided with the publication of a report in the UK by leading civil liberties organisation Transform which predicted that all drugs will be legalised in the UK by 2020."

i'm not sure decriminalization is such a good thing.
Criminals will not just pack up and go back to school, they'll turn to more violent crime to get by.
Home grow-ops in the provice on Ontario were a $1 billion industry last year, easy money and a great boost to the economy, and really no one is getting hurt.
take it away and the criminal element resorts to more desperate measures to make money.

It will still be illegal to supply, it only means there will be a bigger marker for them to sell to.

Theres thousands upon thousands of Palestinians living in Israel in peace that are just normal citizens. Its the ones that blow up innocent people and children that they are after.

come now boys, there's enuff fighting in the world, let's keep to the topic of toe-knee's seedy fantasies.
oi toe-knee, does that mean you'll be like one of those crusty old men who hang out at squat parties, the ones who say they are qualified reiki practitioners and always try to give free "therapy" to young girls on ecstacy?

Shit, that's really bad. The pharmaceutical multi-nationals will take over my "nice little earner". As long as they decriminalise and not legalise... not any time soon anyway.

shit they've already decriminalised blowing up homes, collective punishment, and stealing palestinian land for the last 40 or so years... might as well do it with drugs too...

I had this idea for a documentary about the youth of Israel. After that nighclub got bombed couple of years ago. And everyone was like "they were just young kids out doing what youngs kids all over the world do, enjoying themselves, out clubbing," etc,,,
I thought that was a fascinating picture of a nation. Cos like Israel has/is becoming a big party place and they have these big famous out door rave-ups and shit, and ecstacy is a huge drug over there. It be so interest to probe the youth culture over there, how they're seemingly oblivious to the turmoil and how they've pretty much accepted that they'll never know peace in their life times, so might as well let the politicians worry about it while they lose their minds on drugs and hedonism. I had a friend who went to Israel couple of years ago and he told me how some of the places there are worse (or better depending on ur pov) than Ibiza.
I mean its unfair to pick on the Israeli kids for doing what millions of kids across the world do - but to juxtapose that with the neurosis of the nation. I think that's really interesting.

i was going to say something similar kuz, read an article about the israeli rave scene a few months back. all the israeli's i know are pretty much the same as everyone else of this age, wanting to lose themselves and forget the troubles of the world. can't say i blame them.
a guy i used to be in a band with was leaving a club with other musician friends and there was a bomb down the road from the club and his friend lost all his hearing. sucks no matter which way you look at it. my firend is now doing a project now trying to get israeli and palestinian musicians together.

I doubt Israelis are as ignorant of what's going over there as we (Americans) are. Essentially, it's us who has to be the most ignorant because it's out tax dollars that go towards the Israeli military to maintain their abusive policy towards Palestine.

esentially and put simply yes any project which involves youths on both sides has to be a step forward.
The biggest problem being able to get out of palestine into israel or vice versa.
While I see that israeli youth wants to take drugs to escape the reality, I also cannot help but think at least they can go to clubs, pop an E etc etc, their counterparts in the refugee camps cannot.

must be funny to see israeli & palstinian kids fight the xtc together after one-too-manys.
- lilbabyarm0
it's fucking ugly. the majority of Israelis oppose collective punishment but unfortunately the IDF has most undoubtedly been through some serious brainwashing...
how else can shit like this be explained:
