Re: Anti-psychotic drugs - Those are some powerful pills... Gotta be pretty rough on folks who think they're taking/actually need anti-anxiety meds.
wow, for one time tucker carlson didn't come off as a complete douchebag and argued souder well.
Stop selling milk, the gateway drink. This guy is your typical ignorant ideologue. They don't call it Flyover Country for nothing!

You could also add a link to this article about the drug policy panel that happened at the UW campus this week.

I posted a comment about the event in Tuesday's "morning news." The turnout wasn't very big, unfortunately. But the panelists were very professional, very impressive... I'm sure a few college kids learned something that night that they will take with them and share with others. I just wish the word was getting out more that there are concrete alternatives to the drug war.
Anyway, every time I see Norm Stamper speak, I get excited about LEAP (Law Enforcement Against Prohibition). I think that organization has great potential to make change.

informant-reliant swat raids are the local equivalent of iraq--hollywood-style 'force' without any regard for reasons or the consequences. and it doesn't make things safer for the U.S., nor the police, for whole communities to think we're out to get them.
"65% of drug-related hospital emergency room visits are related to marijuana" according to Congressman Souder. Just what crevice did he pull that BS factoid from?
The Big Lie technique - just say something utterly outrageous over and over again with great conviction, and 65% of people will believe it.
sigh...
