On ABC’s “This Week with George Stephanopoulos, the discussion go to the topic of marijuana… the country is “probably in the process now of legalizing marijuana,” conservative columnist George F. Will said > And a bit later in the program: “Eighty percent of the revenue of the Mexican cartels is marijuana. If you really want […] An excellent OpEd feature article by Peter Moskos: If it’s on the shelves, it’s off the streets (in the Sunday Magazine) In this piece, Peter talks about his studies of drug policy in Amsterdam, compared with his experiences as a police officer here. In America, 37 percent of adults have tried marijuana; in the Netherlands […] Although the recent Holder memo doesn’t really change anything in a concrete way (and the Drug Czar and DEA claim that it’s business as usual), there is at least a public perception that there is a kind of tipping point happening here (and perception often drives public policy more than fact). Sasha Abramsky, writing in […] The Minnesota Supreme Court ruled that police can include the entire weight of bong water that tests positive for the presence of a drug when computing the amount of drug possession.

Shoot, only one week to be drug-free, and we’ve already missed half of it. That got me wandering around some of the Department […] Kathleen Parker writes of Reefer Sanity in the Washington Post, and notes a shift that we’ve talked about here… But the shift toward a more sensible national policy is no longer confined to the left. Nor is the long-haired stoner the face of the pro-pot lobby. Today’s activist, more likely, doesn’t have facial hair, but […] Their introduction says it Good news, hippies! President Obama will not be arresting medical marijuana users who comply with state laws.
