Mostly the same story already being discussed here:

Good, that's a major achievement to start fighting back the "war on drugs".

I can just hope that here in Sweden this fucking backwards drug policy can be reassessed, it's ridiculous that such a socially progressive country has the highest death rate of drug users in the EU and has some of the most draconian laws on criminalising drug usage... It doesn't work, it kills people and make others complete dumbasses around/with drugs (including alcohol).

I agree. It is possible to screw it up though, so I hope they are able to pull together a good program.

Curious if that makes them a desirable place to live for folks cooking up the stuff.
