Weekly: Blogging @ the Speakeasy

Submitted by David Borden on (Issue #506)

Along with our weekly in-depth Chronicle reporting, DRCNet has since late summer also been providing daily content in the way of blogging in the Stop the Drug War Speakeasy -- huge numbers of people have been reading it recently -- as well as Latest News links (upper right-hand corner of most web pages), event listings (lower right-hand corner) and other info. Check out DRCNet every day to stay on top of the drug reform game!

Since last issue:

Scott Morgan brings us "New Study: Marijuana Might Cure Brain Tumors," "Someone Tell the Drug Czar That Hemp Isn't a Drug," "Digg and Reddit Users Want to Legalize Marijuana" (over 12,000 hits!) and "US Government Encourages Drug Offenders to Choose the Army Instead of College."

David Guard posts numerous press releases, action alerts and other organizational announcements in the In the Trenches blog. And please join us in the Reader Blogs too.

Thanks for reading, and writing...

Vancouver,BC has been in the national and world news latley and the drug war is fully responsible.Always an open city as far as the drug scene goes,Vancouver now finds itself in the midst of an all out gang war.The recent deaths of four known drug dealers,combined with those of two innocents is the result of a turf war being fought over who does what,where.These guys are serious and it's a turn for the worst in the local drug scene.The bodies are piling up and the police are out of their depth with this kind of violence.Where this goes from here,who knows?It's a natural progression in the way drugs are dealt with here.We saw it in the US durring prohibition of alcohol and it will only get worse.
