"Why do we have to help these people"................Why use the pronoun "we" Mr. Grech? Did the Maltese population promote you as their PRO? Did anybody force you to help these people? So let others be and talk for yourself!

If and when someone close to you becomes an addict, you might change your mind. Nobody choses to become one, it's a gradual downward spiral that begins or ends as a mental disorder, hence the term dual-diagnosis. Something that was not mentioned is the need for continued support as it's a chronic relapsing condition, like an ex-smoker, as soon as he takes his first puff, he's hooked again!

Exactly.While I agree that these people need help,and am vvery pleased that such a sum was raised,I find it hard to beleive how it s impossible to arrest the dealers.

I agree with you Mr. Buhagiar. People in every town and village know and observe where youngsters buy their stuff from!

Why, Karl? Would you even have opposed help to an institution which is doing sterling work among the drug users who show the least indication that they want to kick the habit? We take it then that you didn't spare a euro for this worthwhile cause. By the way, what was there to 'argue' about?

No what I mean is that it just got the losers, didnt get those that have been doing drugs in a controlled manner, as normal people do with drinks, for years, who never had to look back in anger, still enjoy it without abusing of it or letting it lead to the hard stuff.

What was there to oppose Mr.Consiglio? A fund raising programe for an organization which offers all it's services for free to every one without discrimination? Just feel lucky you have not come to need Caritas's services. You wouldn't write such pathetic comments if you did!

The fund raising was good, but I'm on about the predictable manner in which Xarabank ususlly tackles the subject of drugs

Such a comment makes you sick to the core.....Busuttil, some people can't afford a living, but for a good cause they still donate what they can afford....Well done for all who contributed.

if you make some maths the donations given yesterday....not even 50 euro cents per person was given, since malta has over 400,000 population!

Open the doors to legalization and the country floods with crime. Might agree though that penalties for cannabis be much lighter than those for hard drugs. The problem is that Authorities are not targeting the big fish, why?

Alcohol is much more problematic than weed.
