Weekly: Blogging @ the Speakeasy

Submitted by David Borden on (Issue #524)

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:

Blog Editor Scott Morgan brings us "Drug Testing Welfare Applicants Will Only Cause Horrible Problems," "Rule #1 of Drug Legalization is Don't Talk About Drug Legalization" and "Judge Throws Out DEA Agents' Lawsuit Against 'American Gangster'" (and more coming out soon, the Chronicle is publishing early this week), while Chronicle Editor Phil Smith hits "A Big Bump on the Road to the Mexico."

David Guard posts numerous press releases, action alerts and other organizational announcements in the In the Trenches blog.

Please join us in the Reader Blogs too.

Thanks for reading, and writing...

I read that there are hundreds of DNA samples of rapists and murderers just sitting in Washington because we don't have the funds to check them, yet we seem to have unlimited money to chase and jail some people who are using some marijuana ,even some who are ill.

Why should we keep people from using an herb they feel helps them ? Even if someone would rather have this instead of alcohol to relax.

Naturally, the tobacco, alcohol, and drug companies would rather sell their expensive alternatives to a free plant that can be grown in the garden.
