I'm woundering how valid even this is. Are there any hard figures on this ?
EDIT: But as others have maybe already mentioned the danger to get on more hard drugs comes more from the criminal environment from where you have to by it. Interesting is that hamp is prohibited almost all around the world. There are strong indications that this happened becose of businessual reasons and not becose it's a dangerous drug. Did you guys know that a bio diesel can be won from hamp for engines ad stuff ?
It's incredebly what all can be made from this plant. This plant is a blessing for the human kind. And in a context of a naval warfare forum, all the seafaring wouldn't be possible without it at least till the steel hawsers were introduced in the modern time.

Maybe they should tax it. If the state generates income from Cannabis, like he does from selling tobacco and alcohol (drugs that kill), he may find it more acceptable to allow it ?

A good moment to exploit the double morale of the government.
