That ranking system should have a health warning, " May contain Nutt(s)"

It is pro legalisation garbage, it will not happen.

Resistance is futile. Legalization is inevitable.
Your prohibitionist scare tactics are no longer working, because
people can find out the truth about drugs like cannabis online.

Legalize freedom!

You are in a bad mood today. Was it the comments to your CIF article?

Claude cetainly got a bitch slapping there. 

As for his putting down of doctors and scientists who favour a
non-prohibition and rational approach to drugs, considering the
unsavoury people Claude is in bed with, the Swedish
ultra-prohibitionists  Hasselakollektivet, Riksförbundet
Narkotikafritt Samhälle and the rest of the neofascist totalitarians
from that rather repressive and regimented Northern country, I don't
think he is in a postion to throw stones at others.

I'm afraid the trend is on Claude's side, and what is happening goes
far beyond drugs, pharmacology and health issues.

The increasingly repressive, control freak, closely monitored,
micromanaged, robot society that is emerging is distinctly anti
freedom and is not  conducive to the idea of autonomous individuals
making their own choices and running their own lives.

The rubicon was crossed for me when I first read of police helicopters
swooping around the rooftops scanning houses in the infra red looking
for illegal botany. The madness of it brought back to me this passage
from Orwell:

"In the far distance a helicopter skimmed down between the roofs, 
hovered for an instant like a bluebottle, and darted away again with a
curving flight. It was the police patrol, snooping into people's 
windows." 

George Orwell, 1984. 

It his Clauds society. Him and his kind have won and they are marching
us to their regimented and tightly controlled 1984.

The rest of us are Winston Smiths and can only hope to retain our
internal freedom and stay out of their clutches.

Way back in the '60s we thought, at the very least, cannabis would be 
legalised in five to ten years but alas you are right. In spite of every 
indication showing cannabis to be far safer than any legal drug, the 
political opportunist control freaks spurred on by the red top papers are 
now winning the anti-legalisation war whilst all the while loosing their war 
on drugs! As all recent reports shows the tighter they screw down the lid 
the worse it gets!

The logical outcome will be not just a camera in every street but a camera 
in every home and weekly drug test for all! By which time I guess we will 
all be total meth freaks!
