I’m heading out to talk to the Golden K Kiwanis in Quincy, Illinois on Monday morning about ending prohibition. On Wednesday evening, I’ll be moderating Tough Trade-Offs: The Drug Legalization Debate in Urbana/Champaign, Illinois, and on Friday, I’ll be off to Washington, DC for the SSDP conference. All this while having a particularly heavy week at work (yes, I also have a real full-time job that I love!) So posting may be a little bit light…
Here’s a couple of things to discuss:
“bullet” Drug Policy Alliance’s Five Point Agenda for the new Democratic Congress.
“bullet” The Drug War Chronicle’s Brief Comment on the Transfer of Power in Congress. Also see Phillip Smith’s rant I’m sick and tired of begging my fellow citizens to not throw me in jail…
