Or alternatively apply to drug users what we apply to other areas of the law - the notion that illegal consumers create the demand and create the market and trade, and therefore they are just as guilty as the dealers.
If there were no drug users, there would be no drug-relared crimes, no drug barrons, and far less beheadings in Mexico.
But for some reason people who use illegal drugs are generally considered victims, not criminals. Odd, that.
I cannot follow your argument here regarding those that use illegal drugs being considered "victims not criminals".
The Misuse of Drugs Act 1971 clearly lays out the 3 categories of illegal drugs, the law then defines penalties for each classification both for possession and supply, possession or supply of any of these drugs is a criminal offence.
