In Re: Richard Branson;
One person told me years ago that the problem with drug use is a simple case of society. The way the laws are set up now encourages more drug use because you are a rebel for doing them. In places like Amsterdam or Portugal, you are not a rebel: you are sick. No one wants to be sick. That simple shift in attitude, he believed, would be enough to drop drug use significantly.
