Lies, Damn Lies

Legalise cannabis already

This story really underlines the madness in our current approach to drugs. As basically every commenter below the line says, if you legalise pot then suddenly you remove the violence. I imagine there were those during prohibition who were arguing that making the penalties for selling alcohol worse would stop the violence.

Yes, there are obviously health risks for using cannabis, as there are for alcohol and tobacco. But prohibition clearly, demonstrably doesn't work. So legalise it already.
