DRUG WAR BRIEFS: Oh, Canada!

"Thirteen million Americans have been arrested on marijuana-related charges
since 1970, at a rate of one arrest every 46 seconds. Nearly 5 million of
these arrests occurred under eight years of Clinton-Gore. (...)
The Globe and Mail in an editorial titled "Why Decriminalization is the
Wisest Choice," states: For Canada, as for the Dutch, outright legalization
of marijuana is not currently an option. Hostility from south of the border
would be acute. Decriminalization, on the other hand, is feasible. The grey
legal terrain that would open up would not be especially satisfactory. But
it would be better than the status quo."
