45. My neighbour (not in UK) died from cancer and he died in horrific pain.

The fucking law in that country had severe restrictions on pain meds, even in case of terminal illness. Fucking arseholes "didn't want patients to get addicted", I kid you not. Terminally ill patients. Patients in severe chronic pain.

When it comes to drug use for recreational purpose, it would be much better and much safer if drugs are legal. There always will be addicts and IMNSHO, I prefer them to get their drugs from government controlled store or even on free prescription, if needed.

Never mind what legalisation will do to criminal underworld.
