No-knock raid, arrest, seizure proceedings, ruined lives–all a big mistake. Police mistook a sugar factory for a meth lab.
An editorial that captures drug war logic at its finest: D.A.R.E. almost certainly doesn’t work. It’s a huge waste of money. In fact, there’s at least a chance it may do some damage. But let’s go ahead and fund it anyway. Because comparatively, it’s not that much money. And if it does do harm, it’s at least “manageable” harm.
Cop takes marijuana from seized evidence, gives a little to a drug user in order to win him over as an informant. Texas court says, “no worries!”
From the zero tolerance follies: Students suspended for snorting fake cocaine in an anti-drug commercial.
Via Stop the Drug War, John McCain butts heads with a LEAPer in the video below. I’d say Sen. Straight Talk stumbles. The answer to McCain’s meth question is easy: If drugs were legal, meth would quickly go the way of bathtub gin and wood alcohol. We have meth because it’s a cheap, potent high. Just like people drank shit during alcohol prohibition that made them go blind. People will stop rotting out their teeth and risk blowing up their basements if safer, cheaper, amphetamines are available.
