LEGALIZE POT
WASHINGTON - The United States leads the world in rates of
experimenting with marijuana and cocaine despite strict drug
laws, World Health Organization researchers said on Tuesday.
“The United States, which has been driving much of the
world’s drug research and drug policy agenda, stands out
with higher levels of use of alcohol, cocaine, and cannabis,
despite punitive illegal drug policies, as well as (in many
U.S. states), a higher minimum legal alcohol drinking age
than many comparable developed countries,” they added.
“The Netherlands, with a less criminally punitive approach
to cannabis use than the U.S., has experienced lower levels
of use, particularly among younger adults.”
Countries with looser drug laws have lower rates of abuse,
the researchers report in the Public Library of Science
journal PLoS Medicine. |
