Should the US adopt Sweden’s strict anti-marijuana laws that ban even advocating pot use?
The drug laws of Sweden are of zero tolerance: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drug_policy_of_Sweden
In Sweden, drug policy is viewed as part of its welfare and social policy: http://www.drugpolicy.org/global/drugpolicyby/westerneurop/sweden/

No, i mean yes. I mean I don’t know. I mean, shut up.
No, the biggest pot heads I know live in Sweden. The ban is not working.
Freedom of choice is always best. As long as an adult doesn’t violate someone else’s rights, they should be FREE to live anyway they choose.
Sweden is a police state. Which is why the left in the US love it so much. I saw police raids nightly at their nighclubs to make sure no drugs were being used.
No I think Portugal’s laws have shown to be more successful, but off course there the drug war is not a race war like here…
No, if for no other reason than it would violate freedom of speech.
I think they should adopt Holland’s decriminalization, tolerance, and even permissive sale and personal use in certain licensed places without ever actually making it fully legal. It could then be grown here by American farmers. Sold here by American businesses. Taxed. And it could all be done without ever fully acknowledging it was “legal” so that the morality police could sleep at night whilst taking the criminal element out of the picture.
most lefties in the US are probably surprised to hear sweden is so strict on pot laws…and porn and alcohol….
no, just legalize it and quit wasting money chasing “criminals” who buy and sell pot.
Damn!! Sweden just doesn’t understand that “free speech” concept, do they? And liberals want us to be like them??
Legislating something many want an can grow themselves is a waste of time an money.Have we learned nothing from prohibition.
Yes, that would be great.
