www.bbc.co.uk Scottish government wants drug possession to be legal

The Scottish government wants a change in UK laws to stop people found in possession of drugs for their own use being prosecuted.

Scottish government wants drug possession to be legal

The Scottish government has called for the decriminalisation of all drugs for personal use.

It wants the UK government to change the laws to allow people to be "treated and supported rather than criminalised and excluded".

However it would still be an offence to have possession of drugs with the intention of supplying them to others.

The government also wants the law to be changed to allow the introduction of supervised drug consumption facilities.

Drugs laws are currently reserved to Westminster.

However, the Scottish government has responsibility for health and social policies around drug consumption.

Other proposals from the Scottish government include more substance checking services and increased access to emergency treatments for drug overdoses.

Why do comments differ across instances?
  • Is that not a pretty big weakness to Lemmy? I know it's never going to be perfect, but if Lemmy is to appeal to more people I feel issues like this add friction and makes Lemmy appear to be a little quiet/confusing as a result.

    For instance, I have two Lemmy profiles - one on Feddit.uk and one on FMHY - both have different comments on the same post in [email protected]

    The impact the reddit migration has on the fediverse!
  • Hopefully the onboarding process is made easier, I am not saying it's hard - it's just not as simple than something like Reddit.

    The federated aspect of things needs to be explained and dumbed down a little, hopefully apps can come in to bridge that gap.

    Otherwise enjoying it!
