It increases creativity and will contribute to the birth of new ideas and industries.
Gentle Readers,
We need to legalize all drugs. Unless someone shows up with a new "War on Drugs" strategy that would actually work, then let's call a truce. In the interest of full disclosure, I do not use drugs.

P.S. If we do get rational about the War on Drugs, what will law enforcement do for grins? Direct traffic?
Legal weed will solve the ovoid epidemic.
Wrong: the only solution to the ovoid epidemic is common-sense chicken control legislation. Or outright chicken ban.
In Cambridge, Mass., a woman named Kristin sits down on a stone bench to talk about a common but rarely discussed injury that's starting to grow along with the opioid epidemic: rape.
It's an assault active drug users often don't report out of shame, distrust of police, or fear they'll be labeled a "cop caller" and have trouble buying heroin.
The road to trouble starts many mornings, says Kristin, when she wakes up, sick and desperate for heroin but afraid to shoplift, sell the goods, and seek a dealer on her own. So she finds a male buddy, someone she calls a running partner.
"It's just safer. People are less likely to beat you, rob you, sell you fake drugs if you've got a strong, well-known man with a reputation — a good reputation —you know," says Kristin, 32, who still has the lanky body of a high school backstroke champion. She's been addicted to opioids since she was 13 when they were prescribed to relieve pain after a shoulder surgery.
To prevent attacks, some women travel in pairs, but some say that doesn't protect them from gang rape.
