Cool, thanks.

I didn't see any reference to drug use dropping except the guy from Maryland saying it happened world-wide.

It is nice to see a 27% drop in deaths though.

"Drug decriminalization did reach its primary goal in Portugal," of reducing the health consequences of drug use, he says, "and did not lead to Lisbon becoming a drug tourist destination."

Whether there are less users or not, the above is all that matters.

Use is way down. If you wanna read more, you may have to use Bing in order to find it. It would appear every effort is being made to squelch the data.

Hopefully it isn't down more than 27%.
