This week:

Phil Smith asks readers: "What's a gram of cocaine go for where you live?" and "Who Should Be the Next Drug Czar?" Some of you had answers for him.

David Borden links to a Chronicle story where user "eco" posted some heart-rending photos of the victims of Thailand police murders of purported drug offenders as the new government prepares to investigate, in "drug war killings."

And the popular blogger Scott Morgan brings us: "New Afghanistan Strategy is Exactly the Same as the Old One That Didn't Work," "Who's Planting All That Pot in the Woods?," "Police Often Lack Basic Knowledge About Marijuana" and "Plan Mexico: The Right Name for the Wrong Idea."

David Guard has been posting many repostings of press releases, action alerts and other organizational announcements. in the In the Trenches blog. And there is lots of interesting stuff in the Reader Blogs here too.

Thanks for reading, and writing...
