I kind of agree with Sadiq Khan here, but this is not anything like full #decriminalisation and I doubt it would reduce #crime levels that much - most stoners don't really do much crime (other than maybe #DUI ), its the hustle culture of low to medium level dealing that leads to bloodshed, and that could only be reduced by having tolerated and regulated distribution networks (you rarely hear of rival vape shop owners stabbing each other!)

BBC NewsLondon mayor backs report calling for cannabis decriminalisationThe London Drugs Commission is calling for possession of cannabis for personal use to be decriminalised.

“The OR of car crashes associated with COVID-19 was comparable to driving under the influence of alcohol at legal limits or driving with a seizure disorder.
Conclusions
The study suggests that acute COVID-19, regardless of Long COVID status, is linked to an increased risk of car crashes presumably due to neurologic changes caused by SARS-CoV-2. These findings underscore the need for further research into the neuropsychological impacts of COVID-19. Further studies are recommended to explore the causality and mechanisms behind these findings and to evaluate the implications for public safety in other critical operational tasks. Finally, neurologists dealing with post-COVID patients, should remember that they may have an obligation to report medically impaired drivers.”

The Seagull Knows: Notes on a Constipated Discipline

The opening moment of the workshop on Methodological Strategies for Real-Life Theorising was unintentionally profound. A story of a seagull crieing above the glass façade of the Blavatnik School of Government. A temple to the #deathcult that shaped our lives for the last 40 years of #neoliberal change and shaping. In hindsight, that seagull metaphor may have been the wisest participant at the event.The sessions that followed offered a painful reminder of just how entrenched and constipated […]

New legal interpretations suggest that excessive coffee consumption can lead to DUI arrests due to impaired driving. This raises questions about how far laws may stretch concerning driver behavior. What are your thoughts on this potential legal precedent? #DUI #Legislation #Privacy
