Says a lot about the type of people that live in that street doesnt it!
I think this quote says more about the street...

I'll hazard that you'll probably find that sort of thing going on in any UK street, just that it doesn't make the Metro front page.
i have no sympathy for people who take illegal drugs, sevres him right!

Are Jordan and Mosely thick as thieves?? Jordan is always name dropping Mosely on the BBC and he's gets a mention in the article......
As above, when are these people going to learn that drugs are gonna kill ya???
I think 'serves him right', is a little out of order. Whether you agree with his drug taking or not, he was still someones brother/friend/father....

Why is it that 'drugs' are treated as they are? It is our society that has said that caffine, nicotine and alcohol are acceptable, whereas others are deemed to be outrageous... He just chose to do something that you wouldn't have - just like going a few mph over the limit. It's a risk, and you weigh up the risk vs the reward. In this case, it seems he lost.
Drugs are all chemicals which change the way our bodies behave, so why differentiate so much between good ones and bad ones and judge people accordingly....?
Alex - nicotine and alcohol are far from harmless. In fact, either one of them costs you and I more than all of the rest of the drugs cost us
(society).
If someone today suggested nicotine, or alcohol for legalisation, we would laugh at them knowing what we know now.
I think he was trying to get help (I know the family persoanlly, and I am sure they would have helped where they could).

yes he was someones, son, brother, uncle etc but if they are family why did they not help him to deal with his obviously fatal addiction! counciling, drugs rehab etc are all available to people and if you have the money (which im pretty sure his family does) then he would be able to get private treatment. he also has to be willing to want to give up the drugs, in my eyes he clearly didn't because he carried on taking then, so he becomes a victim of his own choices, nothing you or i could do about it, he knew the risk and its bitten him where it hurts and taken his life!

People who use heroin rarely end up with any choice in the matter... much like alchoholism, but much, much worse.
A guy who worked with addicts once described choosing not to have another hit, for an addict, was like choosing not to have a poo when you'd got the runs.

You've obviously never been addicted to anything.
i studied a lot of human physiology at uni and find it very easy to say no to things that are bad for me, never taken any
drugs, never smoked a cigarette or cigar, a fact that im very proud of, like i said you can always so no, sure ive had those pier pressure moments
where all your mates are doing it, but never caved on the fact that i know what these things do to your body
