they had to put up needle bins in public toilets here in Demark because the floors used to be covered in needles, for a long time they used to stop "fixerum" (somewhere the junkies can go to shoot up, out of the way and in a clean, safe environment) but if I remember it correctly they recently allowed some pilot projects.
Places like Canada have Insight, and I believe Switzerland's government is trying a heroin program that helps get people addicted back into society, by helping them not have to worry about the drug side of their problem, while getting them counseling at the same time. But from what I have seen it isn't wide spread enough to make a real difference, but if it continues to be successful, hopefully the idea will spread to other places where it is needed.
It really is a sad state of affairs that our world treats this as more of a criminal issue than the health issue that it is.
32.5% is a majority? And average in europe is 23,7%.
Thats the second phase. After first trying to avoid getting people into that situation. Then you have to try get people out of it instead of simply throw them in jail.
But again, who is paying? It aint the junkies.
But for the regular it just produce people who never becomes anything really.

I can too, and it's just another bullshit article, that pretty much even says that if people start using later in life it has no effect on their intelligence.
This is the failure of your argument right here. Even though drugs are illegal they are still easy to obtain. So now you have all the extra problems that come with making them illegal and people can still get them. You have gained nothing while making things demonstrably worse for everyone.What if someone in my family wants to try drugs because its so easily accessible and dies from an OD?
While they would probably do a better job, the fact is that taxpayers pay it anyway, this way it is just directly to the source instead of through state funded care, hospital visits and stay, locked up in jail, etc ...

Weed can be good for medical use. But for the regular it just produce people who never becomes anything really.

actually, if it was legalized and taxed they would, like with cigarettes (smokers pay more in taxes than they cost in healthcare).
What about all the productivity loss (They are parttime workers due to all the extra breaks, or 4 weeks of work in a year lost), street cleanup and welfare they need? Just to mention a few. The tax is far from high enough on cigarettes to even remotely offset it.
productivity cannot be measured by hours worked, street cleanup happens regardless of cigarette butts and what kind of welfare does a smoker receive that a non-smoker does not?
I recognize every word you wrote, but the order you've put them in makes no sense.Its about the time when sick and you get welfare back from it. Either your place of employment or because you are too sick to work. We for example got 430000 with KOL and 80% of those are smokers.

A 25 year old smoker can see forward to around 13½ years of sickness.
I recognize every word you wrote, but the order you've put them in makes no sense.
those 13½ years you are referring to are the last 13½ years of a smoker's life and even then it's not 13 years of constant sickness, it's not an accumulation of time you are sick over your life, most of these years you aren't even working. also, if you quit before you turn 30 then long term health effects are on average minor.
treatment of smoking related illnesses cost less than half of what taxes bring in (3.6 vs 7.5 billion, numbers according to DSI).
Rygning koster årligt 149.000 hospitalsindlæggelser og giver sundhedsvæsnet udgifter for 3,9 milliarder kroner. Samtidig forårsager rygning 2,8 millioner ekstra sygedage om året. Det samfundsøkonomiske tab er afhængigt af opgørelsen mellem 3,5 og 20,8 milliarder kroner årligt. Det fremgår af et svar fra sundhedsminister Bertel Haarder (V) til Folketingets Sundhedsudvalg. Oveni kommer en række andre udgifter til bl.a. praktiserende læger.
We could also dramatically reduce violent crime surrounding drug trafficking in the south and across the border.
3.6B must be said to be very optimistic.
And thats still without all the costs. like the subsidizing of medicine, doctors, reduced work time due to smoking breaks and so on.
If we manange to jail at least one pothead or meth zombie today (and I suspect several will be), then the "war" has been quite successful. If we manage to bust at least one drug dealer today and confiscate his home, cars and bling, then we got back more than we put in.
WIN-WIN!
Felix wouldn't be a good troll if it wasn't.This post is so full of fail.
