What your government is trying to do is in my opinion wrong - people should be educated at the first place not put into prisons - for what? that's insane.
BTW why don't they outlaw other narcotic - booze?
Maybe because it doesn't cause any antisocial behaviour, isn't a cause of car crashes, deaths, family breakdown or isn't abused even by youngsters. Oh I know the answer because they are HIPOCRITS.
The "medical examiner" is an idiot.
Laws have to be based on facts and science not on stupidity!
