LOL, the war on drug has created such a huge underground economy that it will cause another global crash (on top of all already lurking)

Legalize all narcotics now: War on drugs is war on people, says British Medical Journal
16 November 2016 GMT
‘Doctors have an “ethical responsibility” to back the legalization of drugs, the British Medical Journal (BMJ) has advised for the first time.
An editorial in the BMJ, the UK’s most widely-read medical journal, argues that laws against drug use have harmed people across the world, while stressing that drug addiction should be viewed as a health problem and police involvement must end.
The BMJ says the “war on drugs” has failed and “too often plays out as a war on the millions of people who use drugs.”.............
Last month, Glasgow councilors and police approved a plan to open the first “shooting gallery” or “fix room” in Britain, which will allow heroin addicts to inject safely under supervision.
The facilities aim to tackle drug-related deaths, the spread of infection among users, and the amount of needles and injecting equipment left in public areas.
There are about 90 similar injecting facilities operating worldwide, including in Australia, Germany, France, Holland, and Switzerland.
The call for reform reflects a shift in medical opinion. In June, Britain’s two leading health bodies, the Royal Society for Public Health and the Faculty of Public Health, called for the personal use of drugs to be decriminalized.’
