Drug WarRant turns three today

Yes, this is that time when blog readers have to put up with the inevitable annoying recap of a blogging “career.” In a normal job, this wouldn’t happen until someone retired with a gold watch for decades of service, but anniversaries in blogging for some reason seem to be kind of like dog years [...]

Drug WarRant Birthday Party Thread

Relax. Take a moment. No gifts are necessary. Just have a seat next to the plants and grab some espresso. (If George Soros stops by, though, have him take a look at this little item.)

Celebrations

To the People turned one year old this month and is turning it into weeks of partying. Go join them, but be careful — they’re serving PBR, and doing strange things with an intern. Drug WarRant turns three tomorrow. We’ll have a small tasteful event. Espresso will be served. Stop by.

By now, most of you know about the extraordinarily offensive DEA exhibit that uses pieces of wreckage from the World Trade Center with children’s toys mixed in as a means of promoting the DEA! (If not, more detail is available here) As Newsday reported on the exhibit when it was in New York:

Washington Times OpEd: Legalize Drugs

Column in Monday’s paper by Terry Michael

Many officials admit behind closed doors that our drug policy needs radical revision. Few will say so publicly. This “third rail” of politics is exacerbated by the collusion of mainstream media, suspending usual rules of journalistic practice, publishing government propaganda without quoting critics of drug-war policy. Our [...]

Reefer Madness Roundup

One of the biggest problems with the treatment community is the fact that so many of them are willing to blatantly lie in order to increase their profits. There are undoubtedly legitimate, principled treatment organizations. It’s time to call upon them to step up to the plate and make a statement when others in [...]

Studies Encourage Behaviors that they Study?

This is interesting. Some researchers did a study where they asked one group of college students how often they used drugs and another group how often they exercised. Later, they did a follow up and the first group was more likely to have increased drug use and the second group was more likely to [...]
