SWEDEN WINNING WAR ON DRUGS

Proponents of 'Medical' marijuana, needle exchange programs,
methadone handouts, "soft" law enforcement, legalization, and other
permissive dug strategies would have you believe Canada cannot win the
War on Drugs.

Sweden proves otherwise. By choosing zero-tolerance and a drug-free
society, Sweden is eradicating illicit drug use.

Only 2% of young adults in Sweden are likely to have smoked cannabis
in the last year. In drug-permissive countries like Holland, it's
about 14%. In Australia, 33%.

In Sweden, use of heroin, cocaine, ecstasy and amphetamines is also
apprecibly lower.

Swedish courts can order treatment; drug trafficking may be punished
by 20 years imprisonment; schools and municipal social services
provide extensive education against drug use; "harm reduction" and
needle-exchange have NOT been adopted.

Throughout the world, statistical evidence proves tolerance as a drug
policy is a failure.

Wouldn't Sweden's model be a better choice for Canada?

There are solutions working in the world today!

Shouldn't Canadians benefit from this Knowledge & Experience?
