Cartels recruit teens to smuggle
Homeland Security officials are reporting an increase in kid smugglers along the Mexican border. Prohibitionist policies incentivize this behavior as jail and prison sentences are more often than not much lighter for people under 18 years of age.
Advocates Say âGood Samaritanâ Laws Could Save Overdose Victims
Among the negative collateral consequences of drug prohibition are needless overdose deaths. Research shows that people consistently list âfear of police involvement/fear of arrestâ as the leading reason for failing to seek immediate help (i.e. calling 911) for someone thought to be overdosing. How many more of us need to die before most or all states enact good samaritan policies to lower the number of unnecessary deaths?
Mexicans vote elections besieged by drug violence
A dozen Mexican states are moving forward with elections while campaigns are being besieged by prohibition-driven assassinations and political scandals that display the awesome and growing breadth of drug trafficking organizations' power.
Injured vets want battle over pot to end
Due to full drug prohibition at the federal level, the Veterans Affairs doesn't prescribe medical marijuana and, by policy, threatens to cut off care and benefits to vets who test positive for using it even though studies indicate medical marijuana is a more effective treatment for trauma than most pharmaceuticals and has fewer side effects. PTSD isn't a condition that qualifies for medical marijuana use in Colorado, but traumatized vets are rallying to change that.
First true submarine captured from American drug smugglers: Proper diesel-electric boat found at jungle 'shipyard'
The latest drug prohibition-driven innovation: No longer content with the semi-submersible variety, drug traffickers are using fully functional submarines built in hidden jungle shipyards to deliver tons of drugs to foreign shores. Crews have the option of turning off the diesel-electric engines and running on batteries -- interdiction forces can then only locate the sub using sonar, which is shorter-ranging, far less reliable, and very expensive to use on a large scale.
