[... The drug war is an utter and abysmal failure. And necessarily so. Every time a successful interdiction occurs, drug prices and profits rise, and this only strengthens the drug gangs. They are impregnable to such tactics. ...]

  • New Orleans is a mess and would probably benefit from a little libertarianism. I remember seeing a documentary about legalization shot in New Orleans in 1988 during the Republican National Convention. It appeared that a number of Republicans were supportive. I wish I could remember the name of the video. I know that it was produced by HEAD International with a grant from the Drug Policy Foundation. A true keeper. I believe the guy that produced it is actually running for public office. We need a few more like that.

  • Hi,

    I wanted to let everyone know that there is a documentary that you might be interested in about the raging battle taking place in San Diego over medical marijuana. The film is called RX Cannabis, and there is a trailer online that you can view.

    We will be adding more video online very soon including behind the scenes footage and vlogs from the filmmaker. In the meantime, we'd love to hear your thoughts on the trailer and any comments.

    Here are some links:
