It was decriminalized in Brazil a decade ago. And the number

I can't see any reader comments. Probably just social-media

As I noted yesterday, I take no position. I'm conflicted on
this; extreme policies of many sorts ave failed. For example
the Fiume debacle after The Great War, which descended into
utter dissolution (morphine, cocaine and prostitution ) in
short order.

Duh, couldn't find anything on that(other than a snippet about
the takeover of a piece of Croatia by the right wing Italians, which
apparently was the source of fascism in Italy). There's a book too.
LOL. Not buying it.
