Well done! I think there will be some money changing hands on this one.

Yes...crack down on the suppliers while spending less time going after the users and criminalizing the users while publically campaigning against the consumption of the recreational use drugs while promoting public awareness policies about recreational drugs and reinforce the education policies aimed at the youth to help curb the use of the drugs.

I know, I know.... I am dreaming...but it is a nice dream.

Cheers

This seems like a really good result. As long as they cut all the heads off the hydra, not just give its toenails a trim.
