This is surely extremely imprtant news, proving scientificly what every drug taker allready knew. I was extremely happy to see LSD down so low in the tables and MDMA lower still. I have written to my MP asking why this report has not been given much more weight in parliament and asking he do his utmost to bring the report into the spotlight. However he seems happier playing is his asbostos commite.
