The most dangerous drugs
Via Balloon Juice, an interesting post on the drugs that present the most danger. The conclusion:
America’s real drug problem is its addiction to prohibition. It hasn’t worked in the last 40 and more years and it won’t ever work. For a fraction of the billions we spend on failed policies that rely on eradication, interdiction and incarceration, we could invest in treatment facilities that would actually solve the problems of addiction and abuse, which are the only real dangers of drug use and allow responsible substance consumers to live in peace and productivity.
But read the entire post: it’s short and informative—certainly contained some information that was new to me.
