Reply to comment by MohamedsMorocco in Canada province experiments with decriminalising hard drugs by YoanB
This is wrong. In 2016, over 45% of US federal prisoners were convicted of a drug offence. The US has the highest incarceration rate in the world.
When Nixon started the 'War on Drugs' in the 70s', the US incarceration rate was approx. 160 per 100,000 people. In the following thirty years it ballooned to 700 per 100,000, yet people still used and distributed drugs.
There hasn't been an intermittent effort to stamp out drug use. It has been a relentless march that has gone nowhere. The winner of the war on drugs is drugs.
The government of Canada has rightly switched to harm reduction strategies with hard drugs, and decriminalized less harmful drugs like marijuana.

Mankind just figured out flight and this legend was already working on going to the moon.

Why didn't they just make the space suits out of flag material? The whole tragedy could've been avoided.

If a raccoon sleeps with your wife, she must be trashy.

When animal control removed raccoons from inside my roof I asked about keeping them as pets. The guy said:
"There's a reason why raccoons aren't kept as pets. They're violent assholes that will destroy everything you love."
