Nashville's "alternative weekly (the editor is a professed Republican!) recently printed an article about zero tolerance and one teenager's encounter with it. They called it "Less Than Zero," and you can read it at http://www.nashvillescene.com/Stories/News/2007/02/01/Less_Than_Zero/index.shtml Here's the letter I wrote them on the subject:

from: http://www.5gigawattlizard.net/?p=697 Renowned civil rights activist and anti-prohibitionist Steve Kubby has just announced his candidacy for the Presidency in 2008. He will be running as a Libertarian and promises to return the US to its former status as a Constitutional Republic with sweeping reforms calling for the repeal of all unconstitutional laws and disbanding all government agencies having to do with their enforcement.

I live on the California border, so I keep up on medical marijuana there. I also have chronic pain from back surgery, so I understand the patients side. Dispensaries in California may be proving the other sides point.
