From an article published on cnbc.com on Jun 23 - http://www.cnbc.com/id/43508025 Some economists believe that there would be substantial economic benefits to legalizing drugs such as cocaine and heroin. “There is a strong case for legalizing drugs,†Jeffrey Miron, senior lecturer in economics at Harvard University and a senior fellow at the Cato Institute, told CNBC.com. “This is based on economic reasoning, but it is broader than just ‘economic effects’,†he said. Miron estimates that the US would be around $88 billion a year better off if drugs were legalized, with $41.3 billion saved on enforcement of drug-related laws and $46.7 billion garnered i…

Former President Jimmy Carter adds his voice to many other police chiefs, health professionals, military analysts, and an international Blue Ribbon Commission urging the United States to Call Off the Global Drug War. The so called "war on drugs" is really a 'war on drug users", which is not only destroying the lives of those needing medical and mental health care, but is also corrupting foreign police forces, and governments, as well, as creating and funding, a vast criminal infrastructure that represents a growing threat to US national security. In a message to Congress in 1977, I said the country should decriminalize the possession of less than an ounce of marijuana,…

A desperate US father gave his son cannabis oil to ease the pain of a life-threatening tumour, and now credits the drug with helping save his son's life, reports the Daily Mail. Shortly before his second birthday, Cash Hyde was diagnosed with a serious brain tumour.

"We need to take him somewhere else." Doctors did a CAT scan and found a 4.5cm tumour wrapped around Cash's optic nerve. They were able to remove just ten per cent of the growth in surgery and the toddler had to un…
