They have recommended legalizing marijuana and regulating it via an integrated public health policy. Their report is common sense eloquently articulated by political leaders, a rare and precious commodity in our troubled times. I sincerely hope your nation follows their recommendations as my nation's leadership on this issue qualifies it as certifiably insane.
