As long as the U.S. criminalizes it, prices will remain high (after all, natural drugs "grow on trees"). The U.S. has strong-armed the rest of the world into claiming these drugs are dangerous and that even adults are incapable of controlling themselves when using them. I'd advise everyone to go to Wikipedia and check out the Bing Crosby entry. The guy out-Cheech-and-Chonged Cheech and Chong. If I were Chavez or Castor, I would open my economy as a drug bazaar.

How innovative! Guess McCain wished he had thought of that. But that would require common sense, something I see lacking in McCain. That Arlen Specter is something else! He's 78, he's been through two courses of chemo and various other health problems, and he's STILL smarter than any other Republican! I wish HE could be our Presidential candidate! And with his fortitude, he'll probably outlive both McCain and Obama, with all his capabilities intact. Imagine that, have DIALOGUE with other leaders? How innovative!
