Stupid Englishwoman complains about Benidorm catering mostly for Spaniards!

It's legal in New York Colonel. Pretty sure that no Mexican or Colombian children were hurt because of it. I've been smoking for 6 years more or less, it hasn't made me dumb.

And if there were more generalised drug legalisation, much of the violence associated with the trade would disappear, and also dangerous impurities like powders that are often mixed with drugs could be removed.

I don't know about legalizing all kinds of drugs Tooting. I think drugs such as cocaine, heroin and meth would become more popular as it would be more easily accessible due to legality. But you are right on the safety issue. It's a bit of a pickle.

I see, it's based on surveys and opinions of some experts.

Not factual/statistical.

Both China and Russia are autocratic (despotic) :

The free society will always eclipse the unfree one; for while totalitarianism may forbid the bad, it can never compel the good -- something which arises spontaneously among free men.

"Only Anglo-Saxon countries can do democracy. The natural state of human society is despotism. If you tally up all the human lives that have ever been lived on this planet under organized systems of government, no more than five per cent were lived under consensual systems. Even to get up to five per cent, you have to include places like ancient Athens and Tudor England, which wouldn’t pass muster as “democratic” by modern standards. In the last couple of centuries, practically all consensual systems have been Anglo-Saxon. Other cultures can fake it for a few decades, as France, Germany, and Japan are currently doing, but their hearts aren’t really in it and they will swoon gratefully into the arms of a fascist dictator when one comes along." --John Derbyshire

This is true. I'm for legalizing illegal drugs.

However, drugs like cocaine aren't legal and so in my eyes the douche snorting coke carries some responsibility for the cartel conflicts in Latin America. You can't be so stupid as to not make a connection between what you're putting up your nose and cartel violence. Well, maybe they can. Most people don't think much about anything except what is in front of them.
