U.S. and Canadian prohibitionists vie to out-stupid each other

That's the way Richard Cowan is looking at the latest decrim news from Canada.

It may be a draw.

Cannabis will grow legally in England

Coca and hallucingenic mushrooms too. Unfortunately, only one person, the Duchess of Northumberland, has the exclusive license. She says she's not going to let anyone harvest the crops, according to a story in the The Times. Instead, the plants will be part of a "poison garden." She explains her goal:

“Drugs are a major concern across the country and an emotive issue. The Poison Garden will offer a new avenue, outside the classroom, to get people talking about the misuse of drugs, most of which grow in nature. I am interested in the power of plants and how they have been used not only to cure but to poison and kill.”

OK, Duchess, except cannabis doesn't poison or kill anyone.

The poison garden will include some plants that are still legal, including poppies, which, incidentally, are symbolically ubiquitous in Britain this time of year as Veteran's Day approaches (see the upper left hand corner of the The Times web page linked abve).
