In the study, Is Legal Pot Crippling Mexican Drug Trafficking Organizations?; Researchers analysed FBI reports, and found that in states with medical marijuana:
Robbery fell by 19%!
Murder fell by 10%!
Murders related to the drug trade dropped 41%!!
Who in their right mind can oppose legalisation of cannabis worldwide considering the facts of life? Deaths attributed to medicinal cannabis. Still 0 - ZERO. "The war on drugs" - Millions?
On a "side note":
Here in Sweden all consumption of cannabis is an "addiction" by draconian law and punishable with forced treatment for the "addict". All consumption of cannabis in Sweden is simultaneously a crime punishable with six months imprisonment. All suspected users of cannabis in Sweden is forced by Police to undertake a urine sample or a blood sample.
Grounds for suspicion of consumption and arrest in Sweden is internet activity like mine with this blog-post. No joke.
This post alone is enough to get me arrested as I step out of my office after work today and it could result in that a hefty find or prison sentence will come my way.
"If" it turns out that I have partaken in digesting the herb.
So in order for me to pay an almost certain upcoming find, please up-vote. ;-)
