bbc.co.uk
Decrim works for UK

Here's a story I almost missed. The UK reclassified marijuana about a year ago. Since then arrests for possession of cannabis fell by a third saving an estimated 199,000 police hours that could be used to solve dangerous crimes. Furthermore, there was no statistical evidence that marijuana use among young people increased at all. In fact it remained at declining levels.

I love a success story.
