If you pick and choose when you’re open minded then you’re not really open minded. 

My question would be is that on "drugs" or do you mean "legal drugs" or do you mean "illegal drugs"? Caffeine is a huge stimulant. Should that be banned? Alcohol is much the most toxic drug people can use and abuse, with the possible exception of heroin depending on how you measure toxicity. Cannabis is only super-strength "skunk" nowadays because of prohibition. When America had prohibition for alcohol, were there exquisite gins and lovely craft beers or were people forced to drink super-strength moonshine? Laced with other toxins as there was no regulation?
People should be allowed the choice if whether they drink coffee, smoke a cigarette, do a line of coke, have a double vodka and tonic or eat a hash cake. It's bonkers and irrational that two of those things are illegal when you compare them with the others. Personal choice, personal responsibility.
Of course I get that people have individual bad stories surrounding illegal drugs, but I would argue this is a lot to do with the organized criminality that surrounds them and the way this destroys lives. It would be a million times better for people to partake in a safe environment, knowing exactly what they are taking.

With the username 247 Charlie aswell ? I jest...
You should go to a rave one time, go into that rave and just witness and experience the love you encounter. None of the scare stories you read or see in the news, no monsters, just really happy shiny people who want to be your friend.
Then, the following week go for a night down Derby Town, probably not so many drugs about as everyone will be consuming the very legal alcohol, just see how much peace and love you experience then.
Drugs aren't the problem, the attitudes from governments ARE the problem. Holland are way ahead of the game, huge rave scenes over there, drug purity tests at every event, never any drug related deaths at raves.
When drugs like Marijuana has the healing qualities it has and ecstasy has been proven to improve people suffering with parkinsons disease, it's incredibly sad we still have such a backward view on SOME drugs, as they can significantly improve people's lives.
It is all about education.
Anyway, I'm off to buy some booze and fags.

Soon by the look of it.

Not necessarily.
I could, technically, have carpets made out of deer, elk or buffalo leather.

Being told you're that old the doctor now wants to do regular health checks.
Nose hair that grows quicker than the hair on my head.
Electric scooters make me nervous.
I do anything to change my appearance and be told you're going through a mid life crisis.
Prefer the pubs down the other end of town away from all the kids.
Find Friday/Saturday night TV irritating, Ant & Dec unavoidable.
Prefer the company of my dog than people.
Get targeted with make a will and life insurance ads on social media.
Spend longer on the toilet in the morning.
Not wanting a fuss over your birthday. 
That's it for now, couple more years and I will be able to add a few more things to the list.

Cancelling a non-refundable holiday, due to ill health. (5 minutes ago..)

So you lied then, your slippers aren’t made of carpet?
Whats the world coming to?

I just added my doctors into the speed dial on my phone.
FML.
What about you?

I echo the concerns on this thread about certain chants and behaviours but there is a strange whiff of nostalgic utopia coming across here where in reality it was far more physically dangerous to go to a match in the past.  

The saddest thing is that it's a KNOWN fact that if you launch campaigns like that and the 'just say no' one that Barbara Bush started in the 80s' you effectively tell younger people that more people are doing it than they probably realise and create social proof in reverse.
You have to make it socially unacceptable like drink driving and smoking.

Very mediocre as I remember and kept out by George Williams.
I must confess I thought it was more, but  on looking it up, he only played 25 games for Derby over 3 years never scoring.

Soon by the look of it.

Almost as good as Phil McCann
