Jim-out-of-touch-with-reality-Thompson hasn't noticed that Clifford
Heath is Australian.

He was pointing out that one of the consequences of the "US war on
drugs" is that some of the money Americans spend on using opiates to
adjust their mood ends up paying the people who grow the opiates in
Afghanistan, who in turn have to pay a lot of it over to the Taliban
for "protection".

If the US had a more rational system of government, they might have
worked out that they could cut off this source of support to the
Taliban by legalising opiates, growing them in the US and selling them
directly to the US addicts through the medical system. Not only would
they ensure that American addicts got better quality opiates, but
they'd also improve the US balance of trade, which needs all the help
that it can get.

That the US hasn't worked this out for itself does seem to be evidence
of some kind of intellectual bankruptcy.

Naaah! I'm at the center of recovery activity. My hotel lot is full of power

Nobody. But some people's will power is not high enough to say no when
stuff is highly available. That's why drug problems in "free drug"
countries are usually massively worse than elsewhere.
And your example countries are?
Germany had a much lower drug problems in the 80's and I happened to
live smack at the border, on the Dutch side. Crossed it daily. So I had
years of daily comparison.

The only countries that I've adduced - France versus the Netherlands,
has the less permisive Frence regime stuck with a slightly worse drug
problem than the more permissive Netherlands.
The US has a bigger drug problem than either, and its the world leader
in the - misconceived - "war on drugs".
I live in a rural setting quite similar to where I lived in NL. I don't
even see anything remotely similar to the grief that I saw back there in
the 80's. But again, as Nico hinted, that was the 80's, I do not know NL
recently except as a visitor and those visits were too brief.

In other words, you put your faith in anecdotal evidence, and want to
determine national policy on the basis of a few isolated local
situations with which you happen to be familiar.

Six years is not anecdotal.

That's exactly what it is.

If I see people dying and become permanently
brain-damaged all around me I know full well what that means.

How many?

Of course,
you can chose the head-in-the-sand strategy, maybe it makes those
problems go away. Not.

Well, the war on drugs hasn't made the problem go away. Harm
minimisation doesn't make it go away either, but pure drugs available
with clean needles from a medically run source do eliminate some of
the more unfortunate side-effedts of drug addiction.

I'd say that "just say no" was more of a head-in-the-sand strategy
than "harm minimisation" but tastes differ.

Dozens. Versus none across the border from there.

Yeah, right. Just like handing out clean and sterile switchblades would
fix the problem with stabbings in downtown. It amazes me how people can
believe in such programs.

I'd say that "just say no" was more of a head-in-the-sand strategy

No, it's the right thing but it has to start with the parents, not with
a nanny-state. And that's where one of the problems is and also was back
then in NL.

No, you're most likely correct, you didn't use any illegal drugs in

your country, at least they aren't illegal there, just given to people
like you to keep them subservient. How do you like that socialism ?

I wasn't making a moral comment, just a rational economic one.

Jim T disregards the very high regard I have for your country
(and indeed for his own career achievements) because he's made
so much of his living from military projects, and because I
detest the self-destructive bully-boy thinking by which he
