ONDCP Ads Condemned by GAO; Souder Responds by Setting World Record for Unintelligent Talking

Our friends at SSDP report that the ONDCP has been slammed by the GAO again.

WASHINGTON, DC – The Government Accountability Office (GAO) ruled on Friday that the White House’s $1.2 billion anti-drug ad campaign is not only ineffective, but encourages some teens to try drugs. The GAO, Congress’s auditing arm, recommended that funding for the ads be cut despite President Bush’s request for another $120 million to produce more ads next year.

ONDCP’s incompetence has become quite a chore for the folks at the GAO who are responsible for ensuring fiscal responsibility in government.

Steve Kubby Running for President

This is a press release from former medical marijuana refugee Steve Kubby, who intends to run in the Libertarian Party presidential primary for 2008. DRCNet for legal reasons does not at this time take positions on candidates. However, we certainly can say that are glad that Steve is in a position to be able to run; that is, alive and not imprisoned.

Ending Terror

Does it really take a genius to figure out the much of the "terror" of the world is funded by the illegal drug trade? Does it take a genius to figure out the much of the reason for the corruption is Mexico, Central, and South America is funded by illegal drug trade because if the market was controlled by legit companies the degree of profit would not be there, money would flow over the table instead of under it, and because companies not guerrillas would manage the industry?

Societal cognitive dissonance

"Preaching to the choir" is a term that I can relate to. I talk about the drug war to a wide variety of people and have found that a wide variety of people agree that the "War on Drugs" is not the right strategy to take. I was talking to some workmates the other day and they were making comments about how conversations change when people find out that the person they are talking to is a police officer. I made the observation that when I learn that someone is in the law enforcement business, I almost immediately begin talking about drug policy.

When I first realized we live in a facist state.

Twas way back....Mr. Wizard...68' and my young drug using career was being tutored by another young hippie but husband and father of two. "Butch" was also a junkie and he warned me to never try heroin. Said I'd like it too much and I shouldn't end up like him. Advice I also took seriously. The thing that really bothered me at the time was something he said about herbs and hallucinagens. He told me the government was lying about the effects out of fear that we would "become awakened" if we all used them. Odd words but it made sense more and more as the years have gone by. Still to this day the government still lies and changes facts at will. But it was this original lie that led me to question everything and not to take their word on anything. Butch also said uppers and downers would hook and kill me just as quick as horse but the government wants us all hooked on their man-made drugs so they could profit. They could still chase hippies around and blame all the crime on them.

Hemp: The Anti-Drug

In discussing the bill to legalize industrial hemp cultivation in California, the New York Times hits the nail on the head. Responding to complaints from law-enforcement agencies and ONDCP officials that hemp fields would provide a hiding place for commercial marijuana plants, the Times throws it back at ‘em:
