He said that while the green agenda would not persuade addicts to give up, the middle-class social user who drove a hybrid car and was concerned about the environment might not take the drug if they knew its impact.

FOUR SQUARE METERS per GRAM? I have a reaaaaaaaaaally hard time believing that one. Also, I take issue with the ridiculous assertion that the rainforest doesn't just belong to Colombia, and that it belongs to "all of us who live on this planet"...what collectivist drivel. Of course it belongs to Colombia (or rather, Colombian landowners), and if they're trying to scare us about oxygen levels, it's long been known that our air supply is not dependent on the rainforests.
