Alan Johnson, Home Office minister, has accused Professor Nutt of 'crossing a line into politics'. Now, now, Alan Johnson, you need to sit back and chill a bit, and let Mr Eagle Eye enlighten you, for I, the splendidly wise Mr Eagle Eye, would hardly call Nutt's remarks the smoking remnants of a political rampage. In fact, Mr Eagle Eye points his ferocious feathers at you, Mr Johnson, as the one who has crossed a line, politicising what would have otherwise been a largely ignored statement. Thou built thy stoned throne, now thou can sit upon it stoned, the fumes of wisdom at last permeating your senses! Maybe you, Alan Johnson, can show true wisdom and resign from government!
And now, Mr Eagle Eye shall deliver his peck points with regard to recreational drugs:
- All substances considered 'drugs', from heroin and cocaine to cigarrettes and alcohol, are items that give their consumer a desired effect. We consume food for a desired effect, and that is as natural as the hills. Drug-like substances, are therefore natural, and should be legalised without exeption.
- The legalisation of drugs would destroy their 'outlaw' imagery, and free up wasted police effort. If somebody wants to consume such substances at their own leisure without being a nuisance to others, they are welcome to it.
- Crimes committed under the influence should be treated exactly the same as if the crime were not committed under the influence. It is the crime that the perpetrator needs to be punished for.
- Mr Eagle Eye's therefore states that it is at a person's sole individual discretion and responsibility what goes into their body and what effect it has. It is another area that there is no need for the State.
