The Economist has published a number of articles restating it's support for drugs legalisation

This is good news. The Economist's readership tends to be influential, and is widely read by policy makers across the world. However the Economist has always been supportive towards regulation, so it is not a dramatic turnaround...

Good job for bringing the Economist into the scope of this site and for providing a reference

The Economist has been one of swims favorite publications since he was in high school. It is no surprise that they take this position because they are a bunch of geniuses. Only the misinformed lemmings of society fail to realize what the war on drugs causes. It funds criminals with money that could be going to fund our government, destroys the lives of good citizens... I could go on and on but you guys know all that stuff already.

The point is that every swimmer should subscribe to the Economist if they get the chance.
