摘要

Prohibition supposedly divided America, like Gaul, into three parts: wets, drys and hypocrites. Cannabis is now doing the same. One in three adult Americans admits to having tried the herb; most have survived, and some have even gone on to become president. Yet the government still spends billions of dollars trying to save them from it. In 2000, the last year for which figures are available, 734,497 people were arrested on marijuana charges, more than twice the number in 1991. Nine in ten of these "criminals" were guilty of possession alone. Several European countries have tired of this crusade. Will America follow? The first puff of smoke comes from Nevada, where a chance to legalise marijuana is on November's ballot. Even if Nevadans vote in favour of Question Nine, they will need to do so again in 2004 for the initiative to become law. Yet the aim is clear: to make pot as legal as beer.
