There's just tons of information.

>>>it is prohibited to use drugs in Sweden. Apparently you think this inhumane and corrupt...well, I disagree.<<<

Well, I do think drug prohibition is crime against humanity, but that is beside the point. The point is that Swedish drug policy, which is copied from US and in practice lead by the loonie fascists of Hassela, has similar effects as US policy, the worst in Europe which as a whole is moving towards Harm Reduction, which actually produces results instead of just making the situation worse.

"Deaths due to drug abuse in Sweden are amongst the highest in Europe, having risen from 50 per year in 1970 to 250 per year today. In the age group 20-39, drugs account for 10 percent of all deaths, as many as die in traffic accidents. (Narkotikafrågan no. 4 1999)

Law enforcement in Sweden is collapsing as a result of their drug war. For years Swedish law enforcement agencies have been warning of impending disaster as their drug war and the crime it generates escalates uncontrollably. Law and order in parts of Sweden is in danger of breaking down and whole areas of Stockholm have become war zones controlled by pushers and rival drug gangs. Life in them is becoming intolerable and the police are powerless to stem the rising drug crime. On the 14.12.99, the terrorised inhabitants of Ragsved, Hagstra and Bandhagen held a desperate protest action, widely reported in the Swedish press, and demanded immediate action from the authorities to win back their suburbs from the pushers and drug gangs. The authorities are worried that desperate citizens may resort to vigilante action, and a report by the National Crime Prevention Agency, the 'Brottsforebygganderad', 22.02.00, said
that immediate action is imperative if citizens are to be prevented from taking matters into their own hands."

In addition, it has been sometimes openly stated that exceptionally high mortality of addicts is actually the goal of Swedish drug policy, so that the dead "knarkare" would serve as warning example. Drug war is corrupting the Swedish police and judicial system and leading to increased use of para- and extralegal means. The most horrible example is the "Rave Commission", engaged in war against certain youth subcultures, wich has the authority to drag any person "under suspect of drug use" to the police department for testing.

The case of Osmo Vallo is perfect example of the culture of impunity for Swedish police beating a suspected drug user to death.
