Report urges United Nations to end war on cannabis

I find those links in a non message to be a total pain in the ass.
for the first time in my life, i saw some of reefermadness a couple of nights ago.
From the first few minutes, it would seem that reefers were pretty damn popular back then. It even shows guys shoveling confiscated mary jane in a boilerhouse to burn the stuff. (I know plenty of guys who would apply for that job)!
So proof to me that they have beeing restricting the product through illegality for all those years instead of doing the sensible thing. Legalize it, controll it and tax the shit out of it just like cigarettes. That would free up the police to combat crime and save lives from house fires anc create lots of home brew jobs.
