Legalizacion de las drogas
Funciono la despenalizacion de las drogas del 2001 en Portugal? Pareciera que si. The Economist dedica el editorial del Marzo justamente a la despenalizacion de las drogas. Aca van algunos puntos destacados,
Yet prohibition itself vitiates the efforts of the drug warriors. The price of an illegal substance is determined more by the cost of distribution than of production. Take cocaine: the mark-up between coca field and consumer is more than a hundredfold. Even if dumping weedkiller on the crops of peasant farmers quadruples the local price of coca leaves, this tends to have little impact on the street price, which is set mainly by the risk of getting cocaine into Europe or the United States.Los hechos parecen ser contundentes (mas aca, aca y aca). La teoria tambien lo es. Chicago style, obvio...
According to the UN’s perhaps inflated estimate, the illegal drug industry is worth some $320 billion a year. In the West it makes criminals of otherwise law-abiding citizens. It also makes drugs more dangerous: addicts buy heavily adulterated cocaine and heroin; many use dirty needles to inject themselves, spreading HIV; the wretches who succumb to “crack” or “meth” are outside the law, with only their pushers to “treat” them. But it is countries in the emerging world that pay most of the price. Even a relatively developed democracy such as Mexico now finds itself in a life-or-death struggle against gangsters.
Legalisation would not only drive away the gangsters; it would transform drugs from a law-and-order problem into a public-health problem, which is how they ought to be treated. Governments would tax and regulate the drug trade, and use the funds raised (and the billions saved on law-enforcement) to educate the public about the risks of drug-taking and to treat addiction. The sale of drugs to minors should remain banned. Different drugs would command different levels of taxation and regulation.
That fear is based in large part on the presumption that more people would take drugs under a legal regime. That presumption may be wrong. There is no correlation between the harshness of drug laws and the incidence of drug-taking: citizens living under tough regimes (notably America but also Britain) take more drugs, not fewer.

Otro mas y van...
El año pasado termino con una gran sobredosis de rockanrol luego de la gira de cuatro dias por La Plata cuando fuimos a la misa india. Pero este año ha empezado un toque duro. Primero, la partida terrenal del bocha. Hoy con la misiva recibida anunciando la partida mundana del oscuro Slowhand Ariel de los Amores y la llegada del colorido Trovador Reynoso del Arcoiris.
Que habra sido de aquel rocker demoledor de hoteles que supe escuchar en La Reserva cuando todavia se rodeaba de barbudos bluseros y gente oscura? La pregunta obvia seria si esta partida es motivo para cerebrar con petardos, coehetes y un gran alboroto. El Sr. Reynoso diria que si...
