I am not going to condone the use of drugs, even though I have had experience of some. The problem I have with this topic is the ease with which you can obtain them. I have known children of fifteen who were able to buy and use cocaine.
The following website states the drug, the percentage of the population using it and even the street price: (it actually reads like a manual for a would-be dealer!!)

Brian Idden MP, chairman of the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Drug Abuse states that he had heard of children as young as eight in his constituency of Bolton who were drinking and using cannabis. I have to ask the question about this child's parents and how they are raising him. The average 8 year old is surrounded by their parents, school friends and teachers most of the time. How did they get hold of drugs.
The age of people experiencing things like alcohol, cigarettes and drugs is getting younger and younger.
Brian Idden MP, chairman of the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Drug Abuse states that "One of the problems we have is that drug taking has now become so commonplace that it is widely regarded as socially acceptable." I don't believe that is true but something needs to be done.
