Heavy addicts are just going to ignore that because all they care about is the fix. They very well know the risks of drugs, but the fix is more important than their lives.

If they don't ignore even the "you won't be arrested" part, it will be better than it is here in the U.S. of A.

While I'm not in favor of U.S. policy, I'm not a big fan of putting up a sign after three deaths warning about street dealers. Seems like they should have a war on street dealers. If it's not illegal, then regulate it and sell clean stuff.

Why when America does anything is it a "war" on that thing.

Pfft, the "war on drugs" is an absolute failure of distressing proportions.

You can't save the motherfuckin' day with subtlety!
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

-Stephen Jay Gould

Pfft, the Brits just crumple you with witheirng irony and long words.

They'll even invent new words out of the blue (looking at you, Billy Shakespeare).
