to be brutally honest I think the K culture and people bingeing on everything else including alcohol has set back the chances of decriminalisation / legalisation worldwide to the point it is unlikely before the very youngest on here are middle aged or elderly.. (and it is their burden to change peoples minds)
IMO the biggest backlash has come from not the Muslim or Asian countries with harsh laws, not even the USA but the more progressive nations such as the UK and other European countries especially those what have experimented with tolerance.
All of us in Europe have public free at source healthcare which people increasingly run to with their self-inflicted conditions, and believe you me frontline healthcare workers across many nations (although Britain is the worst) are getting wholly pissed off with picking up the pieces.
Especially with some idiots kicking off at Ambulance and other NHS workers a lot of NHS people are forming much closer working alliances (either formally or informally) with the Police, the Civil Service and the Courts. This is now increasingly help shape legislation and more importantly frontline enforcement.
As for making Ket class A it would be counterproductive as demand is so high, and unlike other substances it is legitimately used . It would also cause extra work to NHS and vets i.e people what have got stabbed/shot waiting on a trolley a few extra seconds/minutes whilst the legals are sorted, and people paying £50 for kitty or Fido’s visit rather than £35 due to extra admin costs.
bear in mind also at least 66% of this nation neither touches any illegal drugs, does alcohol in moderation and does not agrees with people using illegal drugs, and they would blame the ket users and by extension every other drug user for these extra costs/hassles.
