And I’m ‘Firmly Opposed’ to the Obama Administration.  Via the Huffington Post: Yet the entire premise for maintaining the government’s policy — that keeping marijuana criminally prohibited “reduces [its] availability and lessens willingness to use [it]” — is demonstrably false. Under present prohibition, more than 1/3 of 8th graders, more than 2/3rds of 10th graders, […]

Via the Marijuana Policy Project: The agenda for the publicly funded conference, held at the prestigious U.S. Grant Hotel from May 10 through May 13, is not available to the public. In fact, the conference is under the close guard of about a dozen San Diego Police officers and even some military personnel. We do […]

Seriously. Can we? Why on Earth are Americans, unlike their enlightened comrades in Europe, so skeptical of the United Nations?
