It has been reported that the Swedish Parliament has just approved new legislation which will legalize and regulate the nation’s thriving cannabis trade. Or is this just a hoax? Jonas Grönhög, a representative from the Health and Social Services of Sweden, explained why the country has made this sensible decision to legalize marijuana:

“We don’t want to make the same mistakes which the USA has done, we do not want to be prohibitionists because the war on drugs has been lost long ago. It is better to prevent marginalization of young people than jail them for soft drugs usage which are comparatively harmless. If we allow the sale of alcohol, there is no reason to ban the soft drugs no longer.”
