I was just reading Helsingin Sanomat and their article about cannabis. It has been scientifically proven that alcohol and tobacco are worse and more addictive than weed. And yet they are legal while cannabis is not. Now, this article about the survey conducted on junior high/high school students says that they tend to have vast knowledge how to get hold on (illegal) drugs. But personally...
In my experience, the people, the "narcs", I know they exist but I never see them. To me drug users and sellers are some American thing, something that is a small minority here in Finland. And then something like this comes along? Is it because I don't party, go to nightclubs and so on that I have no knowledge of this underground culture? Is it really that easy to buy drugs on the street? Where do these people hear from the people to go to? Is it mouth to mouth, or is there some symbolic code system I don't know about (apparently, according to 'Amy's Law', certain animals and shapes symbolise certain drugs on party posters)?
What do you think/know? Answers are welcomed.
To pass the time and get inspiration on the matter - FactVsReligion went to LA for some book burning:
