Light Posting I'm taking some time off work and I'm in Chicago this week working on the final touches for "The Living Canvas 2005" -- a show that I'm producing and directing. It opens on July 22 at Victory Gardens Theater and runs through August 28. It has absolutely nothing to do with the drug war (even though one reviewer last year said "Stoners, Dali fans, sensualists of every stripe, this show's for you."), but I think it's a great show, and I encourage you to see it if you're in the area. Posting will be light this week as I focus on the myriad details of getting a production up and running, so please visit the sites on the left to keep up with the news if I fall behind. 11:31:34 AM |  drug policy | Links | permalink | comment []

Undercover cops disillusioned with the drug war Thanks to Dan for sending me this story on NPR Friday: A Shadow in the City, part 3. Very powerful words from two former undercover drug cops. One talks about how he discovered that many of the people he was working undercover to bust were honorable, good, family people and how they wouldn't even give his name up to the cops. The other former drug cop talks about coming to the conclusion that drugs should be legalized. Definitely worth a listen. 11:24:42 AM |  drug policy | Links | permalink | comment []
