This comes after two young lads died of an overdose because of this very drug; http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...ge-deaths.html

Our own democratically elected government cannot even ban a drug now that they class as dangerous without permission from the unelected European Union. It makes you even wonder what is the point in even having Gordon Brown and Westminister when they dont even have the power to make their own decisions anymore. If you vote one of the main parties come this election you are essentially not voting for them but for more unelected and unwanted control from the European Union.

Thoughts - should the British government have the ability/power to ban dangerous drugs?

Well yes, of course they should.

This is now a perfect example of our own governement no longer having the power to make decisions so they don't "upset" the people lurking above them.

If they aren't allowed to ban dangerous drugs, then what will they be allowed to do?

they had already said it was going to take months to get through the legislation anyway. plus this substance is used as part of plant fertiliser.

plus the drug is illegal in many other EU states, so perhaps the government should have acted much earlier? or maybe the way drugs are prohibited by law should be changed.

Indeed, so why now, because of regulations made in another country by unelected left wing officals should we endanger more young lives by halting this ban? - in 2005 the people of this country voted for a British government to make British laws, not an unelected federalist Belgian and thousands of eurocrats.

Nope. I've tried Meph and it's a laugh. I don't think the government should be able to ban anything that only harms an individual, ever.

Put what the **** you want into your bodies, just don't come near me or my house. Including the government.

then why was the labour party voted in?

but honestly, this drug hasn't just been knocked up in the last couple of weeks, it's been around for at least a couple of years. the government have had ample time to deal with it. or perhaps the drug laws aren't good enough, i know some countries have other ways of outlawing them in blanket laws and medicine laws. How come Germany and Sweden have had them banned already? It's the ineptitude of our government, not the EU who this has happened to.

I actually kinda agree with this, you should get a choice in what you do as long as it doesn't harm others (smoking *cough*). It's kinda hypocritical banning something which only harms yourself and not something which harms others.

For a start, the taliban burned the opium fields in afghanistan, they don't sow them. You need to respect other people's opinions and stop using stereotypes.

Why do we have elections then for that matter?

How can you blame our government, yes perhaps they should of banned it earlier (although when it first arrived here I am unsure of) but surely the sovereign elected government of the United Kingdom should be able to ban a dangerous substance which has killed two young lads already rather than having to wait for the unelected eurocrats in Brussels to give the green light which would take more than 3 months?
