Salient will be running a full page obituary in next weeks issue, for Al.

Mr Anderton just released a speech
in which he puts the social cost of illict drug use at $1.31 billion, in which he says that

"Over a third of the social costs of illicit drug use are caused by cannabis. That’s $444 million of social costs in 2006 from cannabis alone."text

He launches in to a triad about how we should be strong to protect society. Since marijuana is such a big problem, wouldn't it make more sense to decriminalise, educate and then tax it?

Same with other drugs. Education is the key. LSD is not addictive, and Hofmann beleived that it was " just a tool to turn us into what we are supposed to be."
