Sophie Weiner and our friends at Flavorwire have put together an excellent list of foolish attempts to keep people running scared. Enjoy a sample of her writing about this old postcard that I’ve heard all too much about:

In a variation on the classic “This is Your Brain On Drugs” ad, this postcard was released after research done at Johns Hopkins University “proved” that high levels of MDMA, the active ingredient in ecstasy, when injected into primates, significantly raised the risk of Parkinson’s Disease. The postcard was misleading: the dark areas of the scan do not represent the “holes in the brain” that became a popularly mythologized side affect of ecstasy use. But the study itself, which was used to justify much of the condemnation of the drug, has been completely invalidated. It was discovered years after the study took place that the researcher had accidentally dosed the monkeys with methamphetamine instead of MDMA. So really, all this study showed was the negative impacts of meth on the brain, which is probably not news to anyone. Yet the “holes in the brain” misconception remains, and ravers continue to not die in massive numbers from recreational ecstasy consumption.

I’m not a big fan of lying to the people to protect them. Give us the truth and we’ll decide how much ecstasy we want to take. For me, not much, but some, seems like just the right amount over a lifetime. For you, more or less may be appropriate. Freedom is something we’ll have to convince our United States Federal Government is a good idea. That and democracy, but that is a post for another day. For today, I’ll settle for Truth.

California Prop 19 supporters understand the history behind the prohibition of marijuana and hope to heal the wounds left by a history of misunderstanding, demonization, and racism.

Is marijuana addiction real? Opponents of Prop. 19 the California Initiative to regulate, tax, and control cannabis claim that people are going to rehab at alarming rates for marijuana. What they fail to mention is the courts give those people the option of jail time or rehab. Which would you choose? Might you bump up the numbers for that rehab facility even though you do not suffer from marijuana addiction. Beware the marijuana “facts” which are presented by the drug warriors. Ganja may make some people feel slightly edgy or irritable if they stop smoking it regularly. Caffeine also causes many people to feel withdrawal symptoms when they stop using it regularly, especially if they had their morning drug habit for a long time. Marijuana is to be respected, as is any drug. Marijuana holds many positive secrets for seekers in Los Angeles, California, New York, New York, Miami, Florida and London, England. Pot also offers relief to patients with a variety of ailments. So is marijuana addiction real? Sure, but the benefits associated with medical marijuana, for example, far outweigh the slight risk of dependence. Most people I know do not get addicted to marijuana. Most people I know use marijuana infrequently and can have it around for weeks without partaking. The benefits of marijuana outweigh the risks for most people. That’s good enough for me. The people who suffer
from the use of cannabis deserve our help. Use is not abuse. John 4:20 End the Drug War today.

NPR explores the myth that prohibition of a drug affects overall drug use. Drug use in Holland and Portugal is less than that of the United States, despite policies of decriminalization or legalization of drugs having been in effect for years by now. Take away the forbidden nature of the fruit and the fruit becomes boring, ordinary, not worth getting excited about. We cannot form a healthy relationship with things which are forbidden yet useful and widely available black market elevated prices. Market forces will not let our society begin to heal until we regulate, control and tax cannabis.

The Oregon Board of Pharmacy took a giant leap ahead by adopting rules to reclassify marijuana as a medicine. The Pharmacy Board’s stance would allow cannabis to be re-scheduled from a Schedule I drug with no medicinal value, to a Schedule II drug with recognized medical value.

I’ve always wondered how a guy who sold a few ounces of marijuana and got caught could ever be in the same jail facility as a rapist. Captain Christ wonders too.

“Criminality…you have to remember they are selling a product to somebody who wishes to buy the product, they are not going out and forcing people to buy their drugs. These people want to buy these drugs from these people. The only reason we call that activity “criminal” is because we banned the drug. Not because it is in fact criminality. Criminality, as an old cop, in my point of view is when somebody goes out and does harm to another person or another person’s property. Not when somebody goes out and provides a service to somebody that they request, and we don’t like it, so we call it criminality.”

–Retired Police Captain Peter Christ

Dear students, how do you feel about this one? Wonder why they lower the standards of privacy and civil rights in a school? Me too. 18 year old adults being searched without a warrant because a child accuses them of holding marijuana on their person? Sound ripe for abuse?

Intelligent minds eventually arrive at the conclusion that no matter how much one doesn’t want people to consume cannabis or any other drug, including alcohol, prohibition does not work and actually causes more harm than good. Let the people be free and they will save themselves from the ravages of drug addiction. End the War on Drugs today. Ethan Nadelmann of the Drug Policy Alliance is again the voice of reason.
