it is the current law. Its just that it would require sufficient cops to actually raid a club, seize balloons, cylinder of gas and CCTV footage as evidence then do the forensic ops with the MHRA staff to prove that someone was actually selling the stuff. Then the case would have to go before Court.

Its even harder with the small metal chargers as many night time venues also sell food, or may occasionally require whipped cream for other purposes (:devilish:) and so the chargers thus may have legitimate uses.

And even then the penalty would only be a small fine.

It isn’t actually worth the govts while enforcing this law, particularly when there are so few actual casualties compared to other street drugs, and the law enforcement resources they would use could be better used dealing with “worse” drugs.

The only people who are getting angry about it are the tabloid reporters and the middle england puritans, when it doesn’t really even affect them.

in a Western country with relatively little censorship we don’t have to read or accept their bias.

its no different from all of us here expresing lots of pro-drug views, or similar views being expressed in youth lifestyle magazines…

even here we have a lot of freedom, at least at weekends, OK some stuff might be blocked when you are at work, but its also the “freedom” of your employers to choose what they let through the telecoms circuits they pay for.

There’s an old saying “freedom of the press is available to those who own one.”

most people do form their own views and opinions on things, I would say this country is roughly divided half and half between puritans and hedonists, although its slightly biased to the point where puritans have many positions of power.

this depends a lot on the country your are in and the powers of their state apparatus, but in the West I would say its its a combination of what the laws are and what a consensus of what the bulk of the people think is acceptable.

if many laws of the UK and USA were strictly applied (particularly those relating to conspiracy and incitement) most of the rave/drugs forums could be closed down. However the bulk of the British people and even law enforcement do not seem to see them as a threat, so they are allowed to continue.
