La nuova copertina dell’Economist, sulle droghe da legalizzare

La copertina presenta un articolo sulla legalizzazione delle droghe leggere, a cui l’Economist è da tempo molto favorevole.

Those (including this newspaper) who have argued that legalisation is better than prohibition will welcome the beginning of the end of the futile war on weed. Cannabis accounts for nearly half the $300 billion illegal narcotics market, and is the drug of choice for most of the world’s 250m illicit-drug users. Legalising it deprives organised crime of its single biggest source of income, while protecting and making honest citizens of consumers.
