P.S.
Hello,
You announce that “the Tanzanian president, Jakaya Kikwete ordered `stop of the culture of the cannabis, the main produces drug in his country, said Tuesday The Guardian, a local daily newspaper.”
I never laughed as much! Ah, if it were enough “to order” so that reality meets our requirements...
One can as of now affirming that president Kikwete will be contradicted daily, and for a long time.
Indeed, it is because it is prohibited that the culture of cannabis is so lucrative.
As long as the States will refuse to regulate the trade of it and the use, which are inescapable, the traffic will continue, like its perverse effects.
Prohibit tomorrow the tea or cashew nut, and you will also generate a flourishing traffic... which will enrich only the traffickers, obviously.
Cordially,
