Will Legal Highs Be Pushed Underground?
in Tech Stuff
One of the most compelling arguments over the legalisation of some drugs is that they will be easier to monitor and manage. It is clear that drugs can have a negative impact on many people but some of the biggest problems surrounding drugs in the UK are related to the ways that the money raised by the sale of drugs are put to use. There are plenty of serious criminals and gangs operating in the environment of drugs and some arguments are made that making drugs legal would remove a lot of the funding that these people rely on.
Yes, there is a counter-argument that these people would merely move on to other matters but if there was legislation over certain types of drug abuse, the situation could be made safer for users and for many people in a local community. It is difficult to see a situation in the United Kingdom where there is a large overhaul in the availability of most drugs but it is a debate that will keep coming to the fore.
There is a Great Level of Debate Regarding Legal Highs
The ideas raised in these debates also have a part to play with respect to legal highs. While the name suggests that legal highs are perfectly okay for people, there is a growing concern about the health impact that these drugs can have on some people. This means that there is a growing desire to make these highs illegal, making it harder for people to gain access to them. If this move was undertaken, it would be done with the best of intentions of keeping people safe and preventing them from being exposed to the danger and difficulties that exist around legal highs.
However, there are concerns that if legal highs are made illegal, the trade and demand for them will not diminish, and people will continue to look to buy them. This can create an illegal trade in illegal highs, which brings us back to the sellers and dealers who may have ulterior motives for selling these products and commodities.
Stores in Newcastle have been hit with a Community Protection Notice because they were selling legal highs. This included a letter from the local council authority informing them that they were to stop selling these products. One store owner, the manager of iDeaLA in the Newgate Shopping Centre says that this order has come about due to the irresponsible behaviour of other sellers. Currently, legal highs can be bought in many places, including petrol stations and newsagents, and this can impact on the way that sales are made, and even who is buying these products.
It is difficult to Sell these Products in a Reliable Manner
One thing that the owner of the store says about his store is that he only serves legal highs to people who can prove that they have a fixed address. This is one way to ensure that there is some level of control over the buying and selling of these products but in the end, this isn't going to provide a considerable amount of protection for the majority of people.
While this store owner claims that he shows a level of responsibility by keeping a full list of sales and buyers, comments from the Chief Executive of Changing lives, Mike Bell, suggest that some groups don't believe that there is a safe way to sell these products in a responsible manner. There is no getting away from the fact that the chemical mix of these products can potentially be dangerous and this is why many people claim that there needs to be a halt to their sales before too long.
The difference in opinion regarding legal highs means that this is a debate that will rumble on for a considerable period of time, but there is no getting away from the fact that legal highs can cause a lot of problems for people. Anyone who is experiencing issues with the police regarding legal highs needs to call on the services of an experienced and qualified solicitor. The support of an expert defence solicitor can make all the difference when it comes to being properly represented, and this is why there is a great deal to be said for calling on the best possible support when it comes to legal highs.

More than 850,000 students in Arizona and more than 500,000 in Colorado weren't in school Thursday because their teachers were rallying for more pay for themselves and money for their classrooms.
PHOENIX — Tens of thousands of frustrated teachers and their supporters rallied Thursday at capitols in Arizona and Colorado in historic, statewide walkouts affecting more than 1.3 million students.
The grassroots protest that focuses on low pay and school budget cuts kept most classrooms dark across Arizona. Instead, more than 50,000 teachers headed to downtown Phoenix, intending to give some instruction to the governor and the state Legislature.
"It's not OK that my gut reaction is to tell kids who want to be teachers that they shouldn't," said Katherine Reddy, an American history teacher at Westwood High School in the Phoenix suburb of Mesa. She contends that state politicians need to prioritize education.
One supporter of Arizona's #RedForEd movement, William Robles of the Phoenix suburb of Guadalupe, dressed in a bull costume because he wants Gov. Doug Ducey and state lawmakers to stop bullying teachers, he said.
In Colorado, more than 10,000 teachers were demonstrating Thursday and Friday in Denver, using personal time to rally for more money for their classrooms. About half of the state's 900,000 students have shuttered schools as a result.
Some sat on the marble floor in between the Colorado Senate and House chambers inside the Capitol, grading student papers to show how much work they do outside the classroom, work that ultimately benefits students.
Average teacher pay in Colorado was $51,808 in 2017, which ranks 31st among states and the District of Columbia, according to a National Education Association report released earlier this month. The same report lists the average teacher's salary in Arizona as $47,403, ranking 44th.
Starting salaries also are important to attract high quality teaching prospects, said Kerrie Dallman, president of the Colorado Education Association. In some school districts in the state, starting pay is as low as $29,000.
Teachers' average starting pay in Colorado was $32,980 for the 2016-17 school year, according to NEA research. That ranks Colorado fourth from the bottom, lower than Arizona, where the average starting salary is $34,068.
No large scale strike is planned in Colorado as in Arizona, where the walkout is affecting more than 850,000 students and closing more than 1,000 public schools.
Since Colorado lawmakers don't have the power to raise taxes without asking voters, teachers there not expecting an immediate fix. The teachers' union is backing a ballot initiative to raise taxes on people earning more than $150,000 a year and corporations.
Colorado teachers also are watching changes made to the state's pension system, a rallying point for Kentucky teachers who had a series of protests earlier this month in their state capitol of Frankfort. Teachers also had strikes this year in Oklahoma, where per pupil spending last year ranked 45th in the country, and West Virginia.
Arizona's grassroots #RedForEd movement began with a peaceful demonstration in early March and spiraled into what could be a multi-day walkout intended to pressure Ducey and state lawmakers to restore a decade of cuts to education.
Educators' demands include immediate 20% teacher pay raises, competitive pay for support staff such as bus drivers and paraprofessionals, and restoring the $1 billion in state money for education that has been cut since the recession.
"A lot of people think all the teachers are out here for their own pay, but we are out here for funding for classroom and kids," Candice Brownd said. She teaches second grade at Copper Trails School in Goodyear, Ariz., about 20 miles west of Phoenix.
Ducey has proposed to give teachers 20% pay raises by 2020 without raising taxes. While the Republican governor has said he is committed to making his plan a reality, most legislators don't appear to support it.
As the rally was beginning, the Arizona Senate decided to adjourn until Monday, allowing those lawmakers to avoid contact with the protesters for the rest of the week. Teachers booed when walkout organizers told them about the adjournment.
Dozens of #RedForEd supporters did fill the state House gallery, cheering when Rep. Isela Blanc, a Tempe Democrat, said the state's education financing crisis is the result of 17 years of corporate tax cuts that have sucked money from the public schools.
When the thermometer hit 95 degrees at about 1:30 p.m. MST, the teachers decided to end their rally three hours early. Some participants already were collapsing in the heat.
► April 4: When teachers protest, what happens to the kids?
They will gather again at 10 a.m. Friday; Colorado teachers will rally at 2 p.m. MDT.
Ducey said he has no plans to meet with striking Arizona teachers and isn't planning to address their demands beyond his salary proposal.
A prominent TV news anchor, Kari Lake at KSAZ-TV, Phoenix, created controversy Tuesday when she tweeted that Arizona's #RedForEd movement was a push to legalize marijuana. She deleted the tweet and apologized on the station's 9 p.m. broadcast the night before the walkout but kept a Facebook post up that raised similar questions.
Tax revenue from legalizing pot is something that at least two Arizona representatives are trying to revive. Their bill that would allow people 21 and older to use the drug recreationally, but the legislation has not advanced beyond being filed.
Colorado, the first state to legalize recreational marijuana use doesn't use pot tax revenue in the classroom. Some of the $129 million in state sales taxes — $40 million — is set aside to build new schools; a few million more goes into a public school fund, where it is far less than 1% of the total needed to run public schools in Colorado.
