'High Society' by Ben Elton

I have begun reading a book called High Society written by Ben Elton. This book was recommended to me by a teacher, he told that the completely changed his view on illegal drugs. High society contains some disturbing themes e.g. in the start of the book two children who are left home alone while their sister is down the shop. They search the sister’s room and come across a box of ecstasy. The children oblivious to the effects of the drugs take them and overdose and die. The book explains how this could have been avoided by legalising drugs, all drugs. To understand this more I suggest you read the book. The book is set around several other people’s opinions and stories. Two I can think of are a simple backbencher trying to legalise drugs, and another, a drug lord using innocent people to transport illegal drugs.
