    Legalisation of drugs

    I believe legalisation of drugs is a good idea. My reasoning: The drugs themselves would be safer (known strength, known excipients [mixers]) The money for supply would move away from criminals. Drug money underpins a lot of organised crime, prostitution etc. As long as priced fairly they...

    What would your answer be?

    I'd do the work and charge more. Even add on the wasted call (charge an extra hour?). I think they made a mistake with the other company and have realised that. If they mess you about one more time then stuff them.
