This is my understanding too Joe. I have heard that England (opium
introduced to China) and USAnia are the two all-time biggest drug-runners
of all time.
As a long time casual pot smoker it makes me madder than hell that they are
the two most anti-drug nations. It is hypocritical in the extreme. They
talk of harm minimisation, ie the avoidance of a few thousand deaths of
consenting junkies in the West, but ignore the millions who will die
violently, or from HIV, as a result of the 'war on drugs'. IMO they are
just trying to keep the price up and siphon off cash from an artificially
created social underbelly. Still keepin the niggers down in the good ol USofA.
