Feedback: Do You Read Drug War Chronicle?

Submitted by David Borden on (Issue #609)

Do you read Drug War Chronicle? If so, we'd like to hear from you. DRCNet needs two things:

  1. We are in between newsletter grants, and that makes our need for donations more pressing. Drug War Chronicle is free to read but not to produce! Click here to make a donation by credit card or PayPal, or to print out a form to send in by mail.

  2. Please send quotes and reports on how you put our flow of information to work, for use in upcoming grant proposals and letters to funders or potential funders. Do you use DRCNet as a source for public speaking? For letters to the editor? Helping you talk to friends or associates about the issue? Research? For your own edification? Have you changed your mind about any aspects of drug policy since subscribing, or inspired you to get involved in the cause? Do you reprint or repost portions of our bulletins on other lists or in other newsletters? Do you have any criticisms or complaints, or suggestions? We want to hear those too. Please send your response -- one or two sentences would be fine; more is great, too -- email borden@drcnet.org or reply to a Chronicle email or use our online comment form. Please let us know if we may reprint your comments, and if so, if we may include your name or if you wish to remain anonymous. IMPORTANT: Even if you have given us this kind of feedback before, we could use your updated feedback now too -- we need to hear from you!

Again, please help us keep Drug War Chronicle alive at this important time! Click here to make a donation online, or send your check or money order to: DRCNet, P.O. Box 18402, Washington, DC 20036. Make your check payable to DRCNet Foundation to make a tax-deductible donation for Drug War Chronicle -- remember if you select one of our member premium gifts that will reduce the portion of your donation that is tax-deductible -- or make a non-deductible donation for our lobbying work -- online or check payable to Drug Reform Coordination Network, same address. We can also accept contributions of stock -- email borden@drcnet.org for the necessary info.

God, I wish I could send something, however I live on my little social security of $1175 per month. I live in Arkansas and have been using cannabis for glaucoma, I have lost all sight in my left eye and only have about 20/60 in my right eye with correction. And on 30 Oct 2009 I was set up for growing approx 3.5 ozs per harvest, and am now facing a felony charge. Oh yes one thing more, I turned 69 in August. I was not selling, but the guy who used to sell to me got busted, and he helped set me up. And it is nothing more than the local DTF need to justify their reason for being. I hate living among these so called good folks.

I as well would like to give you some Benji's but...

I am saddled with debts. Because of all these awful dispensaries in Cali buying pounds from growers at sky high prices it's getting to the point where you can't get a quality pound for reasonable prices straight from the farms. The clubs have completely destroyed the market by buying at prices that are just to high to do proper moving and shaking, and the independent trafficker can no longer turn a good profit..

I would love for marijuana to be the lowest priority for all enforcement agencies state and federal, but also not legal.

Stop the Drug War yes, Legalize NO.

The price strucure is already getting terribly mucked up, it is still right at the street level, but middle men are seeing profit margins bottom out more and more, and are being squeezed out of business left and right. This is going to effect distribution throughout the states sooner or later as it's going to no longer be worth making trips. That in turn will raise prices for all retail buyers . Don't even get me started on what a full legalization or taxing it would do! So let's all slow our roll and think about the economic impact of marijuana laws.

Bottom line I think you guys are great, but what is your ultimate goal? The guy who posted above me from Arkansas who lives on just over 1K a month won't be able to buy anything if ounces run at 350 plus a 50 bone tax from the man. And that is what it'll be very soon if things continue to progress in the manner they are.
