Wow, before reading this article, I had no idea how dangerous and naive it'd be to just take whatever I read on HN at face value. This article is, simply put, false. As a Brazilian living in Brazil, I'm quite shocked and amazed this kind of yellow journalism is being presented as fact. When it comes to drugs, Brazil's number one enemy is crack-cocaine. Anyone who lives here knows that, specially if you get to know crack addicts. Loló addicts? No such a thing, from my experience. Hell, it's considered a light drug by many and because of that, also a gateway drug. This article reads like opportunistic fearmongering. It's light-years from Brazil's reality and it's an insult to anyone who has to cope with violence and drug issues over here.
