We were there for about three weeks.<br /><br />I didn’t try Khat but I agree with the idea of drug legalization. Millions and billions of dollars are spent on the “war on drugs” to incarcerate people, policing, etc. I think the new changes in Washington State and Colorado concerning pot will be an interesting topic to follow. It will be interesting to see what happens when pot enters the legal market. There’s nothing inherently expensive in the production of pot. The market is similar to alcohol. Alcohol is cheap to make and even with high taxes, it’s still inexpensive.RV Bondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04562634241646236327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6386628735772562963.post-3929056942279630312013-12-28T06:21:11.425-08:002013-12-28T06:21:11.425-08:00See, Roger, I'm 'catching up' on blog ...See, Roger, I'm 'catching up' on blog posts - backwards - so just getting to this installment of your African adventure. Wow, the pics are wonderful, especially the one of the man and baby. I'm always attracted to the people shots most. That's not to say the scenery isn't spectacular also. How many countries did you visit in all? How long were you there? Have you kept up with your fellow adventurers since then?<br />Did you try khat? I'd find it interesting to at least try once, probably not more than that. And, me thinks our DEA has lots of need for enlightenment re: drugs in general. Alcohol and tobacco, in my experience, are among the MOST addictive of drugs. And, also, what wonders our government could perform if we legalized drugs and made the incredible shift of available funds to combat poverty, ignorance (as related to educational endeavors), tolerance and PEACE.mps2343https://www.blogger.com/profile/06059253597064329074noreply@blogger.com
