Says Calvina Fay: Legalization would also create an influx in drugged-driving fatalities, more deteriorated neighborhoods, more divorce, more domestic violence, more child abuse, and more addiction! And yes, she is referring to cannabis. While she’s quite the tool now, once cannabis is legal I think I might employ her as a gardener. She claims to […] Cutbacks force police to curtail calls for some crimes Budget cuts are forcing police around the country to stop responding to fraud, burglary and theft calls as officers focus limited resources on violent crime. Notice the glaring omission in that sentence?

I wrote a rather scathing article about her when she was nominated by President George W. Bush as Deputy Administrator of the DEA. She’s been strongly disliked by the medical marijuana community (she was standing at the podium at the beginning of medical marijuana raids back in 1998 and has […] Great advice from the ONDCP’s David Mineta at the drug czar’s “blog” Finally, talk to your kids! As a parent, I can vouch for the importance of teaching our children about the proper use versus abuse of drugs. See, excellent advice. … Oops. I left out a word from the quote. As a parent, I […] I’ve made fun of the idiotic notion of a drug free… well… anything, numerous times before.
