Opinions - UN warning and quality.

[Me-and-my-monkey]

The UN has today warned about a prolific new trafficking route into Britain via the Balkans which seems set to increase the supply of cocaine into Britain.

This news was met this morning by the usual BBC moralising and nonsense, with "experts" basically saying "don't do drugs children because they are very bad" instead of addressing the situation sensibly and in a way that will make any difference.

However the main source of concern amongst the "experts" seems to be that prices will be driven down.

Now my monkey, who takes cocaine, tells me that price isn't the attraction. He tells me that he's given up on coke because the quality has become rubbish. Apparently, it has ceased to be desirable because it makes him feel so shocking both during and afterwards, so he wouldn't now buy it if it was even cheaper. He would buy it, he tells me, if it were more expensive and good.

His comment to me about today's news was that it would be marvellous if this new route were to introduce so much cocaine to Britain that the authorities had to stop the pretence that all drugs are bad and that everyone is an idiot. Instead making them focus on education.
Furthermore that it gave everyone who wanted to use cocaine so much choice of supplier that dealers either had to keep quality up or go out of business.

My monkey's view is, though, that this won't have any effect on either the authorities approach to matters or the general level of quality.
