very nice article and agree 100%, the war on drugs has failed. decriminalization and education are the answers to drug addiction.
Whether I want to kill myself snorting cocaine all day or not is my personal decision and not any government's decision; just like I am free to eat as many fatty foods as I like and die from heart disease at 28y/o weighing 400pounds is my personal decision and not any government's decision.
I agree, besides, there seems to be evidence that legalization works. The sky doesn't fall and the numbers of addicts decrease.
