Mr Hess' piece clearly describes why and how drug prohibition is hurting nations all over the globe. Most of this so-called "War on Drugs" is headed by my own federal government here in the United States, and as an American citizen I am ashamed of the actions of my leaders. I hope that Japan has the foresight and independence to try its own approaches to the issue of drug abuse, rather than blindly following the lead of the U.S. government.
