Immoral, authoritarian, discrimination.

 If you ever are suspicious of the police, you are in good company because they are upholders of the law, not "Justice". The law isn't based on intuitive models of Justice, but rather a system of control which is why recreational drugs are absolutely

 "UN-allowed" under any circumstances.

They don't want to listen to any suggestion of a more just framework, to do with recreational drugs, in the UK because they believe in the "DRUGS ARE EVIL" campaign by puritan groups, that all drugs lead to psychosis and questionable mental states that lead users to madness. It's all exacerbated by the puritanical framework that makes up a lot of laws in this country with a zero tolerance to mind altering substances, until they find watered down versions that they might use, as "medication". It's all about taking the joy and fun out of the recreation, and hounding users through media outlets, that it's always an epidemic when studies show that drug related deaths are actually very small amongst users, but obviously this increases for those who inject or take over the recommended dosage.   The majority of recreational drug users don't die. Just like the majority of alcohol users don't become alcohol dependent. I think it was Professor Nutt who suggested Cannabis, MDMA and LSD should  all be legalised as they were no more dangerous than any other prescription drug under control measures. 

Drugs show you a lot of things that the government probably doesn't want you to experience, like an increase in empathy and a disdain for authoritarianism.  

It's the suits and ties that really bother me. 

The rigid state, that claims it is the appropriators of freedom. That the state is not based on Religious zealotry. That it is in fact a good actor just concerned about your health.    They claim "Democracy" but I've never had a vote on drug laws I absolutely uphold as immoral, authoritarian, discrimination.
