Mick Jagger wants the government to experiment with drugs – by legalising them all.

The Rolling Stone superstar believes that this controversial plan should first be tested on the Isle Of Man, of all places.

Quoth Jagger: “The whole question of legalising drugs is fraught. You usually try these things out in very small places. You know, like you try a new product out in a small kind of society or an island somewhere.

“And in England they always try out new mobile phones on the Isle of Man. They’ve got a captive society.”

Doubtless Jagger’s views will have his fellow MCC members spluttering into their gin and tonics!

He's right, you know.

I came up with the same notion a while ago. If all narcotics were legalised, available over the counter from properly authorised and registered establishments, most of the crime associated with drug use would disappear, and the revenue from the sale of the drugs would help no end.

Of course, you have the problem of the drug use itself, but would that actually be worse than dealing with the fallout from a boozer of a night?

Discuss.

[LIFTED] me. You surprise me Heather.

Really? You think addicts would stop stealing to pay for them? No. You'd just have a lot more addicts.
