The United Nations wants to jail Amy Winehouse. Oh, and Kate Moss too. They want to see celebrities punished more harshly for drug offences, to send a message to the rest of us.

What the fuck?

Don’t they have more important things to do at the United Nations? Like bringing about world peace, feeding the starving, solving climate change? I’d certainly put those three issues ahead of a few spoiled rich people enjoying a toot or two.

Do people really think that anyone takes drugs because celebrities do? You know, that Pete Doherty smokes crack, maybe I should too? He looks so good on it!

I’m not making this up, it’s in all the newspapers today and I’ve seen the story on TV too. What a waste of breath, print and airtime! My favourite version is in today’s SUN NEWSPAPER.

The UN is far too involved in global drug policy and the UN is effectively a global special interest group directed by the world’s most powerful nations.

People take drugs because they make them feel good, not because some celebrity enjoys them. No one should be punished for drug use, unless that use causes other problems. I’d have no issues with arresting someone on smack for running someone over with their car. If you’re high on H, you shouldn’t be driving, but if you’re high on H at home, it’s nobody’s business but your own!

If any one organisation should be advocating the full international legalisation of drugs, its the United Nations. They have the statistics, they know what a large part of the international economy the drug trade is and they know how it could benefit from sensible international controls. But will they? Will they, fuck!

No, the UN will remain a largely irrelevant body, unless you believe the conspiracy theories about black helicopters and world domination! Trust me, the United Nations could barely organise lunch for 6 people, I don’t think we have to worry about them trying to take over the planet, though if they did, at least we wouldn’t have to worry about career criminals like Amy Winehouse and Kate Moss roaming free!
