Finally, it's true - perhaps - the short term worker age will have it's ups and downs. (11)

How does your brain work, good Sir?
Put me in a cell on death row. Give me a year to figure it out. I will not.

Are you saying you don't understand cryptic clues ?

I get the solution easily. I fail to understand how you find it. The amount of lateral thinking, to associate all over the place, in a jiffy, is just beyond me. Just how does the search algorithm inside your brain look?

Finally, it's true - perhaps -: so more than likely ananagram of TRUE will be at the end of the answer
the short term worker : probably TEMP which is a common term in UK
age : try differtent words for age: ERA, EON, etc
will have it's ups and downs. (11) the definition part
So putting them together we can try: TEMP ERA TRUE (TURE) = TEMPERATURE, which rises and falls
TBH even though I am a native English speaker I have difficulty with most of these.

Yes I do get that much. But finding it!

If you think that's bad, you want to try setting them!

The next obvious line should be the kid making the observation that he already is...

Drugs don't kill people, people kill people.
Or does that only apply to guns?

Thank you sir to let this go trough. Still I think drugs kill

Some do, some don't.
Some drugs save lives - and even they can be fatal if taken incorrectly.
If you mean "illegal drugs kill" then again, some do, some don't.
I don't use, but I used to when I was young, and in copious quantities. You may have noticed that I am not dead ... probably.
"I think" is not proof: it's an opinion; a belief, nothing more.

Illegal drugs sometimes kill mostly because they are illegal.
|
|

Yep. And because of that, there is no quality control at all - and money means assholes will cut it with anything. There was a Brighton dealer (IIRC) back at the tail end of the 90's who was cutting his stuff with drain / toilet cleaner. People were losing arms after injecting it ...
That's why even though I don't use, I do support legalisation. Tax it, enforce the quality like any other consumer product, and move it from a black market to the forefront. Save a fortune in police activity, reduce organised crime, reduce the drain on hospitals. And the government turns a profit!
But ... there is too much money to be made for that to happen.

Sometimes it's unexpectedly potent rather than being cut with dangerous things. Just as nasty.
I don't use it either but favour legalization. (Canadian is a mixture of British and American!)
The government could indeed make a "profit", just like highwaymen. The fools would likely set the taxes so high that organized crime would continue. Cigarettes are routinely smuggled into NYC because of the taxes on them, and there's still black-market marijuana in Canada, despite it having been legalized. I also recall hearing, many years ago, of dozens of tobacco-related murders in Germany, the result of criminals fighting for control of the black market.

We should make them legal then, could save lives! 
Unless you're trying to say they are illegal mostly because they kill 
|

Making them legal would definitely save lives. They don't kill any worse than alcohol or tobacco, often less so. They were legal until about 100 years ago and were made illegal (in the US) even without a constitutional amendment, which curiously was required for Prohibition (alcohol). Prohibition was a failure, creating black markets, financing organized crime, killing people with rotgut alcohol, creating disrespect for the law, and corrupting law enforcement. All the things that now happen with the insane War on Drugs. Not to mention drive-by shootings between gangs and so many non-violent users whose lives are ruined by time in prison.
