These are first steps to gain control of the drugs market, and a sign of government greed They want people to consume more, as they have a great stake in it. This will also mean easier transport to the US, as dealers will be spread on every corner. The crime threshold has just been raised.
The governments are not against drugs, ethicality and that sort of cr*p. What they are pissed of is that they can't regulate such a $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ market. These are the first steps towards that. If the government says it is ok, then I guess it is? Next thing will be complete legalization, with government taxing. Drugs will be toys for the very rich ones, and in some 50 years, I am sure we'll be able to get them from the supermarket shelf. History repeats itself, the modern prohibition.
Makes me sick.
