ADZ concert for decriminalisation of drugs for personal use
A rock concert on the theme "Decriminalise it" is being held by
Alternattiva Demokratika Zaghzagh at V-Gen in Paceville on December 22 from 10pm.
The concert is being held in line with AD’s policy for the decriminalisation of drugs for personal use.
ADZ believes that if both major parties refuse to follow common sense and research from abroad to decriminalise the personal use of drugs, they should at least relax the laws on soft drugs like cannabis.
In most cases, users of this drug are just recreational users and not drug addicts, they said.
The bands Errormantics, To No Avail and Dripht will be playing during the concert.

in today's day and age when most of our youngsters are using cocaine as a recreational drug, it is very dangerous to decriminalise drugs for personal use. nobody ever thinks they will become drug addicts, they all think they are strong enough to handle taking drugs occasionally but the truth is that Malta has a big problem with drugs and addicts are increasing daily!

So throwing them in jail or giving them a police record it the best solution you can come up with?

agreed, however I think that the AD movement is catered towards soft drugs such as cannabis rather than harder drugs.

Okay, so lets put it this way, the way you see it.
Lets just throw these users in prison so that they can possibly become more of an addict to any drug that is freely available in prison, apart from the fact that these drugs are mixed and controlled by the black market.
This giving the person a bad police conduct, giving him/her the experience in prison. Yes, definitely, that's great!

In your generalisation you also imply that supporters of an issue that has a direct impact on the basic civil liberties of anyone & everyone may only be concerned with such issues if they partake in the consumption of a substance that happens to be illegal without going into the merits of that particular status quo...

Also... in today's age? what's that's supposed to mean, in the case of Cannabis/Hemp the strife to de-legitimise the use of hemp / Cannabis in favour of fossil fuel based products (which are many) with considerable economic & environmental weight pending from the scales is a centuries long one & certainly has nothing to do with some immature fad of the present day...

Mr Clegg told the BBC he wanted to break what he called the "conspiracy of silence", where politicians while in government refuse to consider alternatives to the so-called war on drugs because it is "all too controversial". There's nothing hard about turning your back against the evidence." "If you are anti-drugs, you should be pro-reform¨
