Well kids, while the majority of Canadians prefer de-criminalizing marijuana here in Canada, (as the previous article suggested) the war on drugs in the States is going full steam ahead;
Drug treatment can effectively cut incarceration costs, because getting clean lowers the chance of a repeat drug offense tremendously. It can also put a huge dent in the demand for drugs and as a result, limiting the need for a supply. Considering that our attempts to eliminate illicit drugs have failed in the past 40 years, a new strategy may be needed to gain some ground in this seemingly never ending war on drugs.
Seems the United States is not happy unless they are at war with someone, or something, at all times! If all those uptight people smoked a little weed now and then, perhaps things would settle down a bit!
