Chronicle editor Phil Smith was traveling most of this week, and so most of this week's blogging was done by content editor Scott Morgan. Scott contributed "ONDCP Admits Exaggerating Marijuana Potency," "Wanna Beat a Drug Test? Switch From Pot to Oxycodone," and "False Positives: The Dark Secret of the Drug Testing Regime."

Also joining us this week was Univ. of Las Vegas professor Randall Shelden, who contributed "Review of Lies, Damned Lies and Drug War Statistics by Matt B. Robinson and Renee G. Scherlen (SUNY Press, 2007)."

Check them out at http://stopthedrugwar.org/speakeasy -- we encourage you to post comments.
