  • Mexico’s legislature has just legalized marijuana, cocaine, ecstasy, and heroin for personal use.
  • U.S. Drug Czar John Walters gets taken to the woodshed for cherry picking data to tout U.S. international drug interdiction efforts.

  • A stellar-as-usual John Tierney column on drug prohibition, “Potheads and Sudafed.”
  • “Say…you guys got a limo for me?”
  • Georgia newspaper reporters calls for the execution of drug users.
  • Two-dozen members of Congress push back at the FDA.
  • Life in prison for a positive drug test.
