How Government Policy Fails Young People

How Government Policy Fails Young People | Beckley News : Cannabis - Marijuana | Scoop.it
He explores the worrying fact that by focusing health campaigns so intensely on illegal drugs, we ignore the obvious but often unspoken dangers and harms from legal drugs (namely alcohol and tobacco).
Priscilla Li's curator insight, December 10, 2013 7:09 PM

http://www.theguardian.com/science/2013/nov/04/drugs-legislation-david-nutt-john-maddox ;

Visit the above website to read more about Professor David Nutt. 

In the UK, illegal drug research is difficult to perform due to governmental interception. Nutt has fought for evidence in the scientific field to help win the war against drugs. He claimed that when the government bans a street drug, it prevents and deters scientists from studying the drugs' potential health benefits. 

 

Today, more and more once illegal drugs are being recognized for their recreational uses (marijuana).
