Open Thread Busy time right now with first day of classes today back at the university. And I got interviewed again on the DEA exhibit. I'm also working on a few projects, including putting together a challenge to this page at SAMHSA (let me know if you want to help). So talk amongst yourselves. At Lew Rockwell, some more coverage of the DEA exhibit: DEA Snake Oil Also via Lew Rockwell and Hit and Run. Republicans have almost completely abandoned conservative principles. (How does that affect drug policy reform? Discuss.) The United States of America v. $124,700 in U.S. Currency at The Agitator. What lunacy! Hey, I've got an idea! How about The United States of America's citizens v. The United States Government's waste of billions of taxpayer dollars? Markie says I should grow up. Should I? 10:11:20 PM | drug policy | Related  | permalink | comment []

Law Enforcement Against Prohibition I've talked about this video before, but it's worth showing it again (and for you to view it again), so I'll accept the challenge, Radley. I've gotten to know a few of the LEAP folks even better in some of our recent efforts with the DEA exhibit, and they're a really great bunch. This video should be required viewing for everyone. And if you want to make a difference, show this video to a group of friends, or better yet, arrange to have a LEAP speaker at your Kiwanis or Rotary club.
