For me this article, as biased as it is in not noting any of the benefits of cannabis, still points towards legalisation and education as the solutions to this problem. I way prefer to smoke milder forms of pot but these are simply unavailable to me. The market is loaded with 'super skunk' and I have no idea what process I am supporting when I purchase it. If only I could walk to the store and buy a nice organic ethically produced mild weed I would be a very happy chap.
Very provoking article. A little correction though, although Sartre found inspiration for his writing from his mescaline experiences (especially for Nausea) he did not write on mescaline, he rather preferred amphetamines. On the same note the lobsters only(!) stayed with him a few years not for the rest of his life.
