More advanced countries such as Portugal and some Scandinavian countries, even some states in the US have decriminalised possession of cannibis and about time too. This has resulted in a significant reduction in all forms of harm from drugs.
However in Australia the evil that Nixon’s “war on drugs’perpetuates to this day. 50 years after the war started.the War on drugs has evolved into a war for drugs and entrepreneurs took advantage of the illegality of drugs to get people addicted. Lots of profit in that
The other industry created was the enforcement industry and their lack of success has shown that they are just as interested in continuation of the drug trade as it keeps them in a job and of course, many have moved from one industry to the next.
It is time for politicians to get real and do the right thing, as has Portugal.
