The Effects Of War

Is this a good enough reason to be against war?

Israel’s recent war with Lebanese Hezbollah guerrillas has sent
cannabis prices sky high in the Jewish state. Boosted security on the
Lebanon frontier brought a drastic reduction in drug smuggling, with
the cost of cannabis in Israel up eight-fold, the Yedioth Ahronoth
newspaper reported on Tuesday.

I’ve always rather assumed that there was a connection between toking and the ‘Peace Now’ signs but didn’t realise that it was quite this direct.
