Russia decriminalizes drugs

[zendust1]

Curious, you dismiss the possible risks of cannabis and emphasise the possible benefits, but also downplay the possible benefits of alcohol.

I did not dismiss anything Big D, I just wanted to show you my points of view and the things that I thought you dismissed. A simple misundertanding, I am glad this discussion is continuing.

...And where I live, there is no "war on drugs", so the US government propoganda/campaigns/whatever are ineffectual here.

You're lucky, that's a sure plus in my opinion, where do you live?

EDIT:

Hey there Cap! Here's some info on the "Dutch Experiment" Haven't read it all yet (little time on my hands) but I assure you I will read it very soon.

Regarding this:

I'm biased against the idea of having a society with yet another group of money-wasting and idle addicts

Do you think this is not currently in your society? Do you think that "money-wasting and idle addicts", reffering to ANY drug addict (alcohol, caffein, marijuana, cocaine, etc.) don't already form part of whatever society you belong to?

The thing is, would you like to have this group be involved in criminal activity that can affect YOU or would you rather them minding their own bussines and not affect you in any way?
