If I had the power to change one law, I would reform our drug laws—specifically to decriminalise the possession of small amounts of drugs for personal use and shift the focus from punishment to treatment and education.

My reason is not that drug use is harmless, but that our current approach often increases suffering rather than reducing it. Criminal records can follow someone for life, limiting employment, housing, and relationships. Instead of helping people overcome addiction or harmful habits, we frequently isolate and stigmatise them. A more compassionate, health-led approach would recognise that many who struggle with substance use are already experiencing deep pain.

I believe laws should aim to reduce harm, encourage personal responsibility, and cultivate wellbeing. Supporting accessible rehabilitation, mental health services, and community support would be far more constructive than relying primarily on punishment. When people are treated with dignity rather than condemnation, they are more likely to change in meaningful and lasting ways.

Ultimately, I would want our legal system to reflect care as much as accountability—to reduce suffering where it can and to encourage wiser choices, not simply impose consequences.

My dream home would have a library type room, so I could have all my graphic novels in one place. While also having some display cases for some of my rarer books and artefacts, including books by long lost relatives or my books by Charles Darwin etc, the only other thing would be a secret bookcase door (you know you’d have one too) into a small office room where I could write in peace and meditate when needed.

The only other features I’d want is a separate garage with a granny flat over it, so I could maybe have guests over without having them in the house (I’m very private) if that makes sense. Add a walk in swimming pool and a garden big enough to practice my archery and it’s complete.

Though if I’m honest, while dreaming about that is lovely, my home wouldn’t be a home without Mrs Bob and our little cat Noodles. These two creatures are what make our house a home,

As I reach my half century, I can say I’ve seen and experienced a lot life had to offer, watching new life arrive into the world, and watched people leave this world. Ive even had a few NDE’s (near death experiences) myself. I’ve seen and experienced things, most people fortunately will never do. All these things have given me a perspective on life, that it’s fragile, and despite what we all think, when your times up, it’s up. No amount of bargaining, or anger etc will change it.

Despite all these events, and their consequences. its helped me to find peace within myself through a mixture of Wicca & Buddhist practices.
