What things do you want to see made legal/illegal?

Pretty self-explanatory. Feel free to share anything in terms of your morals, values and beliefs that conflict with the current legal system in the UK?

id like to see weed made legal, not for any personal love of the stuff but its a disgrace the amount of resources that are being funnelled into clamping down on it when they could go on far more worthy causes...

- Activities surrounding prostitution (i.e. make it safer for the women by allowing more than one to work in the same premises, regulated etc)
- Euthanasia

Logically, you would also want alcohol illegal as well, an LSD, ecstacy, MDMA and DMT should be legal, according to you're logic.

Any sort of Jegging, mini-skirt or micro-short above size 14 should be made illegal.

MDMA and ecstasy are the same thing and yes they should be legal.

LSD and DMT idk.

Alcohol has some positives. I think it should remain legal.

I agree on the legalisation of cannabis, but outlawing tobacco? How is that consistent?
Has to be euthanasia, a sensible drugs policy and prostitution.
I'd love to see the release of people originally given a life sentance in prison made illegal. Life should mean life, not 25 years.

I'd like to see chewing with your mouth open made illegal and preferably punishable by death. Other than that I'm easy.

I suppose cannabis can be used less destructively - eg eaten, whereas tobacco is pretty much always smoked, and the second-hand smoke is bad too. I do think there's a discrepancy with tobacco and cannabis, either they should both be legal or illegal.
Euthanasia - legal
Smoking around kids or in public - illegal

Legalize cannabis, Criminalize tobacco? They are both just as bad for your lungs. People have gotten confused and think that some scientists are advocating the legalization of cannabis because it's not bad for you or even good for you. No. The rationale of David Nutt and co is cannabis is no worse for you than cigarrettes or alcohol so it may as well be legal.

Do you not see that as a slippery slope? I mean active involuntary euthanasia is basically just murder, is it not? And how many murders could be claimed to be assisted suicides?

I suppose people who want to die can ask to die and the courts could make a decision for them perhaps? i suppose that deals with those who want to die who are not in a good enough mental state to make that decision could be dealt with.
