Makes some pretty good points. Also narrated by Morgan Freeman so its so much better.

I REALLY like the idea that Portugal has where they interview a person found with drugs with a panel of experts about why there taking them and how they can HELP you and not punish as most other countries do.

Watched it the other night, there isn't much being said or shown that will be new to anyone here, but what is new is who's saying it. In just a few short years we've gone from drug reform being a fringe issue to big time celebrities and elder statesmen coming out in support. That's a really big fucking deal.

I'll watch this, and share my opinions afterwards.

90% of drug users are not problematic - this is the reason why the war on drug was bound to fail.

there was a thread on this a little while back I think.. But yer it's worth a watch no doubt...

Here's a random pie chart thingy, not sure if it's 100% accurate, but it gets the point across.
