MUSIC: Lemmy Calls for Legalization of Heroin in UK

Motörhead frontman Lemmy took time off from his band's 30th anniversary tour to speak about the danger of heroin at the National Assembly for Wales with Conservative AM William Graham. The metal legend had recently spoken in a BBC 4 documentary about his hatred of the drug, a subject he returned to at the meeting:

...but Lemmy recognized that legalization was for the best:

Which was, perhaps, not quite what Graham wanted him to say:

Of course they will. He's God.

well okay then

I agree with that. Good on ya', Lemmy.

It's already decriminalized there, yes?

Lemmy is God!

You know I'm born to lose, and gambling's for fools
But that's the way I like it baby, I don't wanna live forever..

*rocks out*

LOL Why does that not surprise me?

-TM

Lemmy is the fount from which all truth springs, so I didn't bother to read the article. I just know I agree.

for the grand prize, can anyone tell me why Lemmy sings with his head tilted way back???

He gets nosebleeds?

I heard somewhere that he gets stage fright, or virtigo or something like that....

Having to watch my sister succum to Heroin addiction, I have ofteten thought the same thing Lemmy sugested..... I also thought of something more drastic; Euthenasia.....

Yes

Legalise all drugs. Remove the criminal tag and the criminal element. Combat the stigma. Offer effective treatment.


Maintain current policy. Make criminals out of addicts. Fuel the majority of other crime. Stigmatise addicts to the point they daren't seek treatment. Destroy the family base of addicts through stigmatisation. Be too afraid to offer effective treatment for fear of offending middle England Daily Mail readers. Continue the cycle of crime and violence.

He once claimed on a tv interview that it helps him hit the right notes that way. He probably gives a different answer every time he's asked the question.

I agree. A regulated drugs industry would benefit society. Unfortunately I don't see it becoming a reality anytime soon. Politicians are far too weak and conservative to legislate radical reform. Although the indisputable advantages may outweigh the wider 'moral' concerns in the long term.

Yes, why change from a progression of failed tacts when you can simply bury your head in the sand and pander to the chattering classes? Makes sense to me.

If you leagalise it though people will only find something else to do which they should not. Although i agree just legalise it to take out the criminal element i'm still wondering what all those loverly drugs dealers are going to do with there time ?? steal cars ? mug old ladies ?

Do you think legalisation will really encourage addicts to seek help then?

'Who wins in a fight - Lemmy or God?'

'Uh... Lemmy?'

'No!'

'Uh... God?'

'Trick question! Lemmy IS God!!!'

Yes.

legalization is better than wasting billions every year to fight drugs. treat it like cigarettes, tax the shit out of it, and the government could make money on drugs instead of wasting it. the war on drugs is about as futile as the was on terror.
