Hasn't home life and schools agendas been all about teaching right from wrong from an early age?

Yes and there have been a lot of failed approaches which we shouldn't be using any more, yet are still out there.

It's multiculturalism that could well be the downfall and undoing of any previously good work.[...] Problem is, to some of them, mad violence, homophobia, etc, was just a part of everyday life, they know no different yet we have these kids integrating with British kids so as you can guess trying to get such a class full of kids to all behave the same and understand decent values is indeed like "pissing in the wind".

Right, so let's not bother then. Let's just give up and let them go on their "mad homophobic way"...

don't expect employers to tolerate drug use

I never said they should, just as, as you mention, someone turning up to work drunk.

The problem with cannabis is how long it stays in your system

The effects wear off after around 4-8 hours, similar to a few pints of average beer. Of course most people don't realise that a heavy drinking session on a Sunday night will still impair them on a Monday morning.

Comparing taking Ecstasy to riding a horse, well, that's a bit like your DM / Wikipedia comment, just irrelevant.

No, it's pointing out how ridiculous the current "harm reduction" drug laws are.

And if you want laws to "reduce harm", the first thing to do is ban motorcycles because they make up almost 20% of the KSI statistics...

For the record, most people know the effects of alcohol, and generally for example it will be out of your system after a booze up a definite 2 days later.
Unfortunately cannabis won’t be out of your system, even more so if you’re a regular user, so if you get pulled over and swabbed a week later you could still get nicked and banned due to the near zero tolerance drug driving laws, even though you will feel absolutely fine to drive and not feel under the influence at all.
Don’t get me wrong, i don’t agree with it at all, but they’re obviously doing it for a reason.
I’d much rather see the cokeheads driving like angry wankers nicked, than some chilled out driver just taking his time going from A to B.
I think most people know perfectly well that a piss up on a Sunday is a bad move, it’s no good for driving for starters and is no doubt the main reason for Monday morning fake illnesses regarding work. I never drink at all on a Sunday these days unless i have booked time off or it’s a Bank Holiday. I need a clear head anyway as Mondays can very often be a bit manic for me.
