     Does anybody out there know of any countries where the use of opiates
and/or other drugs for personal or recreational purposes is legal?  I'm most
interested in places where there are *no* restrictions, but I'd also like to
hear about places where there are just fewer restrictions than there are in
the U.S.

     If you do know of anywhere, do you have any information on things like
rates of addiction, negative effects of drug use on the lives of citizens
(especially as compared to effects in countries where the drugs are illegal),
overall satisfaction with the legal status of drugs, and so forth?
