This song is from the film Trainspotting, a portrayal of life on drugs.  A woman who lives very close to me is a user and a dealer.  Her kids were neglected when they were younger, now they are becoming criminals themselves and causing misery for the rest of us.

I am not a drug user or dealer but living so close to one has forced me to bear witness to just how destructive this kind of life is; the neglect, the abuse, the criminal activities undertaken in order to buy the drugs, the enforced dealing and slippery slope into prostitution - and yes, all done in front of her kids.

It really angers me when the call for legalisation of drugs comes up.  I know some people can argue a strong case for this but their is a whole lot of other down sides to taking drugs as well as crime.  The anti social behaviour is immense and medical and pro people who don't have to live beside users don't get to see this, they fall for the stories of how life for a user would be much easier if they could get their drugs legally............
Alcohol is legal and people act in an anti social manner with that and so I guess legalising drugs would be similar, if not worse.  It isn't just about the criminal activities, it's about the effect the drug has on a person, making them into a monster and.....well, anti social person who makes others lives a misery.
