Good read
I suggest that all read the report, its only about 20 pages of actual reading, link is above.
It has some sound reasoning, but I figure any politician that reads it will twist some information and ignore other bits of info. They will take the rethinking of drug policy to mean some kind of clockwork orange solution. The report does use the words "addict" "drug abuse" and "illicit substance" among others too much. Sure, such things are problems, but the ideas of responsible use and legalization need to be taken seriously.
Harm Reduction
The Drug Czar himself said, when he was telling Congress about the current drug control budget, that harm reduction was not a phrase he would ever use. I guess that means our current policy is the exact opposite, which would be harm maximization.
this is good!!
I'm hoping that more and more reports will come out against this insane drug war. We need to get this into the main stream and have people actually talk about it, instead of just smiling and laughing it off. The more you talk about it then the more people will understand it and get used to the idea of sensible regulation. People need to know that drugs are here to stay forever and that the best we can do is try and manage them best we can. I really encourage people to go out and talk to everyone and educate people on this subject.
