 Brian Bennett challenges the drug policy reform establishment again with The Catch-22 of Drug Law Reform
The so-called Drug Czar uses his so-called "blog" to brag Governor of Connecticut Vetoes So-Called "Medical" Marijuana Bill. He's particularly good at being smug at taxpayer expense about the prospect of sick people suffering. It's a talent.
Scientists from the Pontificia Catholic University in Quito, Ecuador claim that our aerial spraying in Colombia is damaging the DNA of Ecuadorians living near the Colombian border (makes you wonder what it's doing to the Colombians).
William A. Collins in the East Texas Review: Some wars aren't meant to be won
Never mind that none of this works. It's not meant to work. It's meant to promote heroic political figures, to protect wasteful prison jobs and contractors, and to keep poor people away from the dreaded voting booth.
