over at that article are about 99 to 1 for ending the WoM, and a majority are calling for a complete end to prohibition. I am happy to see that. Loved the slogan "Prohibition 2.0 must go!" Perhaps we will see many bumper stickers and T-shirts with that slogan, may it be soon.

Demand will never be reduced as long as the people in exclusive control of sales and marketing, addicts and gangster dealers, have a free market incentive to grow the demand.

As long as drugs are illegal addicts and gangsters will have a $ 150-billion a year tax free subsidy incentive to grow the market.

As long as drugs are illegal their distribution will require self-regulation with guns and violence. The illegal drug markets are the largest demand for illegal guns which is keeping guns cheap and easy to get on the streets of America.

nothing would make me happier than to see REAL 'change.' I would be so pleasantly surprised to see barack talk about this, but honestly he seems to be playing it (too) safe to dare touch something like this =(

This article was right up my alley! I just began investigating "Plan Colombia" and saw many major flaws in its mission. The US is spraying the harmful pesticide over coca crops in Colombia without any regard for the other life it is destroying. The pesticide is also destroying land, food crops and animals are affected. This drug war is still treated as public enemy number one, that it doesn't matter who or what gets killed or destroyed in the process of the drug war efforts. I really wonder if drugs are taken off the streets if it would just miraculously make the world such a liveable, socially stable and wondeful place!
