ferno Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 In 1980, there were about 40,000 people in American jails and prisons for drug crimes. These days, there are almost 500,000. Those figures have drawn contempt from European critics. “The U.S. pursues the war on drugs with an ignorant fanaticism,” said Ms. Stern of King’s College. There are more people in US jails for marijuana offences than the entire UK prison population. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_Sleeps Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Who else should we avoid for example? Most Muslim nations remain astutely in favour of penalising even the slighest amount of possession. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harleyman Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 It's an embarrassment to America. A stain on the country. Kind of ridiculous point you're making there ferno old pal Alexis visited a country in 1831 when the population was probably not more than 75-80 million. Might make more sense comparing a slab of cheese to a keg of rum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferno Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Sweden imprisons 80 out of every hundred thousand citizens. Louisiana imprisons 1100 out of every hundred thousand citizens. Thank goodness this measure has completely eliminated all drug taking in America. Ahem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will inherit the earth when western civilisation like that of the Greeks and Romans become a society of drug besotted wastrels and self destructive, spineless degenerates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
