As Todd mentioned in So Sue Me! number 9, the global drug prohibition problem is a big deal. This is also a very personal cause for me. There are significant financial, medical and civil liberties ramifications to the prohibition of drugs which should be known by everybody, because they effect YOUR pocket, YOUR police and medical services and YOUR freedom. The issues have nothing whatsoever to do with whether you personally use illegal drugs or not. This is everybody's problem and it's a global one.

The point that Todd never got around to making in SSM 4 (or didn't make very well) is this:

Some people seem to always be busy while others have lots of spare time. It's worth trying to analyse why this is, because people are always wondering why Todd, myself, Len and countless other people I know never seem to have time to do the stuff that "normal" people do. Some even give me a hard time about it, saying I should lighten up, stop working so hard and enjoy myself. Bollocks to that!
