Not myself personally but euthanasia should be legal, especially for those that are bedridden with an incurable disease or whatever and just want to call it Since for whatever reason if you take someone who wants euthanised to Switzerland to get it done and you return, you get charged for their murder iirc

Nope. Don't want to be the next Canada. Euthanasia will quickly become a leading cause of death because its cheaper than treatment for the NHS

I was prepared to discuss the actual subject until I realised you were trolling. There is a reason euthanasia has been legalised in other countries, it is a worthwhile system for people who are suffering. Can you imagine being terminally ill? Spending your remaining years, months, weeks in agony, slowly, or quickly, wasting away to nothing. The whole time, your family and friends are watching you change from the person they love into a hollow shell. Post a link for the proof of euthanasia being the leading cause of death in Canada, I will read it and take it into consideration.

14.7% out of the 21% who were denied, died shortly after of their illnesses. Read it again. Especially the last sentence. While most (79.0%) written requests in 2021 resulted in the provision of MAID, 21.0% resulted in an outcome other than a medically assisted death. For example, 14.7% resulted in a person dying of another cause prior to receiving MAID. Of the 523 individuals (4.1%) whose requests were deemed to be ineligible for MAID, approximately one-third (32.7%) lacked the capacity to make decisions regarding their health and nearly one-fifth (19.9%) did not meet the criteria of having a serious and incurable illness, disease or disability.

I'm a Yorkshireman and Headingley is my local test ground. I've seen a lot of beer drunk at a Headingley test match but I've never seen any trouble. The worst thing I've seen is a beer snake, which is hardly anything to worry about. There seems to be more trouble at football matches, even with the drinking ban than at any other sport. I've never understood why.

Legalisation of cannabis and shrooms for all uses (not just medical) If that's too much, at least decriminalisation of personal supply of all drugs (e.g. Portugal) If that's too much of a stretch then treatment first options rather than incarceration for addiction I wish wage theft was illegal. If you steal from your employer it is illegal, if they don't pay you properly it's a civil matter And in general housing first approach to homelessness - without a requirement to be sober etc. This has been used in much of Sweden with awesome results in helping those who are long term rough sleepers.

It's the culture of being able to quietly sit outside bars and stuff on the continent until the small hours that I'd love.

I would have to say the legalisation of marijuana, especially for medical use, although you can now get medical grade cannabis but it's a laborious task unlike America & other countries which are making the process so much easier. Also, being someone whose been to Amsterdam many times, I would advocate for the coffee shop smoking spots here in the UK too, What's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander.” I say, why can't it work here in the UK too?
View on Reddit #9954954

PiscoSourBubble@reddit

It makes so much sense. I'd like to be able to pick and choose what strain etc and have a sociable smoke instead of only being able to get high grade, that is far too strong and messing with so many people's mental health because it's way too strong.
View on Reddit #10008637

Narrow-Oil4924@reddit

Exactly, thats one of the main issues "strains & strengths" and knowing exactly what you're getting. Its fine if you have a source but even still, its not the same as going into a coffe shop in "Dam" and being spoilt with a variety of choice, or a dispensary like they have in many U.S. Staates. With more & more countries relaxing their laws on cannabis, you'd have thought the UK would've also followed suit by now, but nope, still no movement on that front! I have a chronic health condition, and after consultation with a couple of clinics I'm eligible, or meet the criteria for medical grade cannabis. I've not yet signed up to any, as the ones I've consulted with, their prescriptions are quite pricey, so im still testing the water. Its great what they do, in that they tailor make the strength to suit every individual. Whether it be pain you need it for, even depression & anxiety which can be made worse, by some of the stuff you might get out there, or even through a friendly link that you can be assured of but due to the strain or strength being just a tad too potent and or chemicalised , that it has the negative effect of what you want! Maybe one day the "powers that be" in this country will finally see sense and make available to all something which has been proven to be safe & medically beneficial to those who need it.

I have to agree with another poster, the right to die or even medically assisted suicide. We would not allow dogs to suffer when terminally ill yet we force humans to do so. I would de-criminalise Cannabis for over 18's and treat in the same way as alcohol ensuring it is taxed & the strength controlled. I would also de-criminalise red light districts as in some places it is already almost ignored in the UK. It is the oldest profession in the world & it would be better if regulated with health checks & support for the girls (or guys) to ensure they were healthy & not under duress & to have security in the area in case any clients became abusive Both 2 & 3 would take these out of the hands of criminal gangs & organised crime
