“Nuevo Laredo en Vivo and social networking sites, I’m The Laredo Girl, and I’m here because of my reports, and yours,” the message read. “For those who don’t want to believe, this happened to me because of my actions, for believing in the army and the navy. Thank you for your attention, respectfully, Laredo Girl...ZZZZ.”

"Some of Britain's leading drug experts demand today that the government's classification regime be scrapped and replaced by one that more honestly reflects the harm caused by alcohol and tobacco. They say the current ABC system is "arbitrary" and not based on evidence.
The scientists, including members of the government's top advisory committee on drug classification, have produced a rigorous assessment of the social and individual harm caused by 20 substances, and believe this should form the basis of any future ranking.
By their analysis, alcohol and tobacco are rated as more dangerous than cannabis, LSD and ecstasy."

@ ClearThoughts, I totally agree with scientists wanting evidence based ratings systems. However, whenever I see the stats about alcohol and tobacco being 'more dangerous' than other drugs, I always wonder whether that is based on stats about deaths etc. Because so many more people smoke and drink than do drugs, so the health effects are much more obvious and quantifiable.
If cannabis was legal and everyone smoked it, would it cause more or less damage than tobacco, who knows?- yep, lots of dutch are dying from cannabis smoke, how many billions are you willing to waste on the drug was before you start seeing the flaws in itGeorgesII
- you start seeing the flaws in it, the only one making money are the dealers and the local governmentsGeorgesII

It's a serious flaw in the argument for prohibition to blame the substance for the problem. Whether Opiate or Tabacco or anything inbetween the problem is within us humans, a minority of which are inclined to addiction. Education is the key not fear.

"The U.S. federal government spent over $15 billion in 2010 on the War on Drugs, a rate of about $500 per second."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War…That $15 Billion is obviously going somewhere, and to who that $$ is going to, they do not want the drug war to end.
Hence there will always be a war on drugs.

The war on drugs was the first war without borders, then came the war on terror. No clear targets, no government to sanction, no end in sight for either. Taylor made for specific industries to profit from, at the expense of the taxpayers.
The next war without borders will be against _____.- the internetsmoldero
- Bingo. Then black markets, then pirates... arrrrZOOP

YouTube video description:
"The straw that broke the camels back . We are not afraid anymore."
"Tlatelolco, June 10, Aguas Blancas, Acteal, Atenco, Nursery ABC Tlatlaya, Ayotzinapa; An accumulation of violence, murders and disappearances, have raised the anger that flows through the veins of the hurting mothers, siblings and friends who have lost their partners, their children. The most affected are no longer afraid."
