Speaking of NORML, they’ve come out with “The 2005 NORML Truth Report: Your Government Is
Lying To You (Again) About Marijuana,” — a detailed analysis and refutation
of the White House’s more prominent allegations regarding marijuana and
marijuana policy. (HTML version or pdf version)
It’s a good read, and a good report to give to your local press so they’re prepared with some real facts.
If anything, the report bends over backwards to be cautious in making sure every refutation it gives is backed up with hard evidence. The truth, I believe is even further away from the government’s position in most cases, but I understand NORML’s desire to be the one in the debate that is clearly not pushing propaganda.
