LEGALIZE EVERYTHING. TONIGHT.

CBS reported the other day: "U.S. Leads The World In Illegal Drug Use".  

Yeah, the WORLD.  Including Amsterdam.  

"Globally, drug use is not distributed evenly and is not simply related to drug policy, since countries with stringent user-level illegal drug policies did not have lower levels of use than countries with liberal ones."

So, according to this, countries with more liberal drug possession policies have LESS drug users than us?  But I thought legalization would turn everybody into cranked out zombies.  And even though we have the tightest drug laws, we still have the most users?  How can that be?

NORML is all over this one, of course.

"One wonders if Drug Czar john Walters can even show his face in public today.  Seriously, is there anything this man has ever said that this new WHO report doesn't expose to be a blatant and deliberate lie?"

They repealed the prohibition of alcohol.  Eventually.  How long are we gonna continue this one?  And why shouldn't we stop it right now?

Are you kidding? This is just another excuse to crack down harder. Especially since it's a great way to clear the streets of poor people of color and women.
