This blog used to be about politics. Not so much anymore as I have worked through my fascination with that subject. It now seems appropriate that with a new president and the end of the Bush nightmare that I move on to new subjects that are more in line with my current interests. I may still occasionally express an opinion about political matters but for the most part I will be commenting on music, photography and personal observations. Thank you for reading.

Reuters AlertNet - Marijuana is gateway to hard drugs in twins study

This is getting alot of traction in the media. Of course they skim over the conclusion of the study and then head straight into the govt sponsored consensus on what the solutions should be.

Study author Michael Lynskey of the Queensland Institute of Medical Research in Brisbane, Australia said. "But there are a number of other potential mechanisms, including access to drugs, willingness to break the law and likelihood of engaging in risk-taking behaviors."

In a radio interview with a hard drug user that had used marijuana first, they said that the availability of the harder drugs from the same dealer was a factor in leading to their use. Which could lead to an opposite conclusion about the solution to the problem. Leading people into the world of hard drugs by outlawing soft drugs seems like a bad policy. Much in the same way that prohibition lead people who wanted to consume alcohol into the underworld of the mafia.
