My first post
As I sit here indulging in marijuana before I start my day, I consider the loss of privilages in life I would have if I were to get caught by the wrong people. I'm not hurting anyone, and I'm even really a nice person.
This is a test
How are you doing now that it is September 16th?
Support Question 7
Once again there will be another ballot issue on marijuana in Nevada. As readers know, I have consistently been an outspoken critic of the drug war and so it should come as no surprise that I support this ballot measure.
Just Say No to Meth Registries
What sort of criminal offender merits the special distinction of being placed on a public registry? Only the most dangerous, or is it the most demonized? Registries of sex offenders began appearing a few years ago as part of the hysterical response to not an increase in sex crimes, but an increase in publicity about them, driven in part by information technologies that allow the whole country to almost instantaneously watch the latest local outrage with fascinated horror.
ONDCP Publicly Debates Drug Reform Leaders for the First (and Probably Last) Time Ever
Last night I attended the D.C. premiere of Jed Riffeâs film Waiting to Inhale, which was followed by a debate that pitted Special Assistant to the Drug Czar David Murray against MPPâs Rob Kampia, and DPAâs Ethan Nadelmann (Former ONDCP staffer Andrea Barthwell didnât show).
The film takes a compelling look at the history of medical cannabis and gives us a glimpse into the lives of several patients who depend on it. For those of us whoâve been following the issue, the plight of the patients depicted is all too familiar. Iâd bet that many people whoâve formed snap judgments about medical marijuana would be stunned to see the faces behind this controversy.
