USA’s crime-and-punishment or EU’s enlightened approach to marijuana?

April 6th 2008 in green culture, health and wellness

Interesting article that posits the USA’s prisons-and-punishment versus the European Union’s doctors-counselors-legalize it approach to marijuana. The EU position saves them considerable public monies and there is a measurable impact on controlling hard drugs that are actually dangerous. In contrast, the USA’s beat-the-pot-smoker approach means that marijuana is easier for teens to acquire than tobacco and leaves an estimated $113 billion industry untaxed and underground, with hard drugs everywhere, leaving decriminalization to more enlightened states and cities.

An enlightening article that is well worth reading.
