Alaskans have smart judges, but their Attorney General is a moron.

I've talked here about Alaskan courts and their sensible approch to possession of 4 ounces or less of marijuana in your own home (if you haven't read that first post, take a moment to do so -- the judge's comments are amazing!). And recently the Alaskan courts held that a warrant required reasonable belief that there was more than 4 ounces of marijuana present.

Last week, the Alaskan Supreme Court denied a petition by the state attorney general's office seeking reconsideration.

Good.

However, the Attorney General continues to be an idiot:

"We're not giving up," [Attorney General Gregg] Renkes said.

He'll be taking his case to the legislature where he'll try to prove marijuana is a harmful enough drug to warrant amending the constitution.

"The state has been denied an opportunity to present a record of the harmfulness of marijuana," Renkes said.
Oh, I'd like to see that presentation of evidence. What's he going to do, show them a copy of "Reefer Madness?"

"I'm really appalled that it appears some people are still fighting the culture war of the 1970s," he said.
Actually, I think it's Renkes who's fighting the culture war of the 70s, seeing hippies behind every joint.

There's a war going on. It destroys lives and families, spawns violence, suspends civil liberties, tramples on the infirm, locks up millions of peaceful citizens, costs billions, and subjugates reason with fear. This blog looks at the front lines of the drug war, with news, analysis, and the occasional rant.
