    The case for proper drug education is overwhelming. We now know that drugs have been part of our lives since we lived in caves.
    Individual susceptibility is an issue that can probably only be addressed by such an education incorporating the actual taking of substances under controlled conditions.
    I don’t know for how many decades marijuana has been available over the counter in the cafes of Amsterdam,without major social upheavals, or in fact without any difference that is clear to spot.
    I know many people who feel uncomfortable under it’s influence, and one who calls himself ‘an addict’, but he smokes it with tobbaco, so make of that what you will.
    Probably the worst thing you can say about it is that it can give you the munchies. Perhaps all those obese people are secret (and addictive) marijuana smokers. And perhaps pigs can fly.
