Last time i checked a country has the right to protect its youth from drugs...

If protect its youth from drugs translates to prohibit these drugs for everybody then there is something wrong, especially when considering that a legal drugs like alcohol and tobacco are way more damaging than Canabis.

So instead of making addictive substabces like alcohol and tobacco illegal we should legalise Canabis?
You can take a look at the Netherlands where legalizing the stuff actually increased usage.
Drugs etc has long been used by the system to "neutralize" it's citizens...
Here is Greece (and i'm assuming it is not a greek trend) they are even organizing drug-festivals to push for legalization.

Unfortunately for the Greeks, they don't realize that things will be worse with the Drachma, because the government will have no money to pay them. Since the foreign banks won't lend them any more money, they will just have to print more, causing inflation, and making the currency worthless on the international market.

You are buying right into goverment & systemic propaganda, 100% of the money in the assistance package go to the banks and for repaying the debt. Salaries and pensions have for years being paid by tax money and other income. All these years the borrowed money was channeled to banks and dubious private investments. The fear of being unable to pay public sector salaries and pesion is fueled by the goverment and the ruling class in order to limit resistance towards the austerity measures.

The KDE Desktop Workspace introduces, besides the usual stability and speed improvements, new widgets, the ability to 'peek' in a folder with folderview, and activities tied to virtual desktops. The KDE Application Suites feature improvements in the utilities like a more formats supported in Ark and the return of the Linux Infrared Remote Control system. Instant messenger Kopete introduces an improved contact list and KOrganizer can sync with Google Calendar. Kmail supports inserting inline images into email and the Alarm notifier has gained export functionality, drag and drop, and has an improved configuration. The KDE Application Development platform has seen work on integrating the Social Desktop and the new system tray protocol from Freedesktop.org. You can watch a screencast of the Desktop Workspace here."
