Ah, but is it junk science, are the politicians correct on this one, if they are, why employ scientific advisors, are they just window dressing to display when it suits their purpose ?
I think what has happened is we have received so much information, both good and bad now, that scientists even if they are correct in their findings are treated with mistrust by the public, but I do wonder at people who trust the words of politicians over learned people.
Hmm, theres an idea, accept the drug problem is not going to go away, so deal with it, control and license the stuff, cut out the dealers with their bleach powder and fuller's earth additives, that way lessen the health risk, and make an income from taxation in the light of dwindling alcohol and tobacco revenues. Stop destroying poppy fields in Afghanistan, buy the stuff of them, give them a commodity they can sell to get them back on their feet, and who knows maybe the religious nutters who target the poor and disgruntled will lose their grip, and cease to become a threat, expensive war over. Even if not for recreational usem the opium can be used for medical use.
Just what is it the politicians are afraid of, why this stance on drug classifications, what do they know that the scientists don't ?
