Living in Peru for two decades, the ongoing topic of drugs is ever-present. The last year the public written conversation has had to absorb the actions of other Latin American (Latam) actions re the regularization or legalization of drugs. A blog in today's NY Times What Will Mexico's New Drug Law Do? highlights several 'thinkers' thoughts on the subject.
I'm always troubled by the almost zero lack of information about the millions of drug users who are NOT addicted, who have done it for years, including alcohol use. How do they manage their non-habit? How did they learn to use drugs in moderation and keep it that way? Where are the surveys and polls of these people? I've searched including the MAP site, which collects articles on drug policy and can't find it. Is this not worthy of research and study?
