Hey Lemur, I have a thread idea for you: How America Lost the War in Iraq......Wait a minute, we're still fighting it.
Rolling Stone as a credible news source? That's not bias, it's idiocy. Hold on here, I love this the best:
So "legalize it" is the point of the article? It's a good thing that smoking isn't bad for your health, even less so if it's an unfiltered hallucinogenic. I'm glad that mind affecting drugs aren't either. A few drinks never hurt anyone, right?Thanks to new research, U.S. policy-makers knew with increasing certainty what would work and what wouldn’t. The tragedy of the War on Drugs is that this knowledge hasn’t been heeded. We continue to treat marijuana as a major threat to public health, even though we know it isn’t.
I should quote your entire post for its foolishness. We're supposed to be impressed with numbers in the billions. Place it in the context of a $2.2 trillion annual budget and 50 billion isn't very impressive, is it?
What this article means to suggest is that we can win the war on illegal drugs by making them legal. That would eliminate reason for Dutch existence and cause chaos in the streets (sorry, I needed that).
I'm done. Never get AT&T wireless people. I'll have to wrap this post up early.
