Marijuana Lobby Grows in Sophistication
Thursday, January 27, 2005

WASHINGTON — Pot. Cannabis. Hemp. Weed. Grass.
The herb takes many names. But in the nation’s capital, where the marijuana lobby was once the recreational diversion of Playboy Magazine's Hugh Hefner, pro-pot special interest groups have crystallized the divergent issues behind the plant and gained a seemingly unified voice.
This article seems to dwell on the private donations given to drug policy reform groups, but then repeats ONDCP propaganda without any mention of the funding behind it. Is the illegal use of money seized from taxpayers somehow superior to the use of private donations?
