Law Professor argues against Indonesia's draconian drug laws

Excellent article that concurs with & expands on my own opinion about the whole drugs issue going on with Indonesia.

Professor Mirko Bagaric is Head of the School of Law at Deakin University, and has extremely clearly & eloquently put forth more reasons why we, as Australians, should not be tolerating Indonesia's apparent "anti-foreigner" drugs policy.

There is a massive drugs problem in Indonesia, but their current solution will only serve to remove their islands from the list of recommended holiday locations for travellers, something that will greatly damage their already fragile economy, and worsen the whole black market drugs situation.
