AlterNet's DrugReporter has a good article on The War On Some Drugs' continuing misdirection against marijuana. Many good, and some really stupid, comments as well.

"We're seeing an increasing number of organizations from all sides of the political spectrum starting to question these policies," explains Mirkin. "We've had reports just in the last six months or so from the Sentencing Project, which tends to be on the left side of the political spectrum, as well as the American Enterprise Institute and Citizens Against Government Waste, who are much more on the conservative side. But they are all essentially saying the same thing: This doesn't make sense. We're pouring money down a rat hole and very possibly doing more harm than good."

We could end all the anti-weed efforts in a New York minute if Sara Lee, HoHos, and Krispy Kreme would kick down some campaign contributions. Their stock would be through the roof with legalized pot.
