*** German doctors reject soft drugs
BONN, Germany (AP) - Germany's main doctors' association rejected a
suggestion Friday by the nation's health minister to allow pharmacies
to sell small amounts of soft recreational drugs. Andrea Fischer,
health minister in the new center-left government, floated the idea
this week, saying it could keep casual users from moving to more
dangerous substances by "separating the markets for soft and hard
drugs." Karsten Vilmar, head of the German Chamber of Doctors,
disagreed. He called the proposal "a false liberalization" that would
give a state stamp of approval to drug use and actually lead more
young people into addiction. See
