War on Drugs
Public Health As an Alternative to the War on Drugs
Delivered at the Drug Policy Foundation's 11th International Conference on Drug Policy Reform, October 17, 1997.
Pot of Trouble
Grow marijuana for medical use in California, and you can get off. Do it in Oklahoma, and you can get 93 years.
Prescription: Drugs
When California and Arizona overwhelmingly passed initiatives allowing the medical use of marijuana, drug warriors were apoplectic. What do these measures mean?
No Relief in Sight
Torture, despair, agony, and death are the symptoms of "opiophobia," a well-documented medical syndrome fed by fear, superstition, and the war on drugs. Doctors suffer the syndrome. Patients suffer the consequences.
The Reason of the Clerks
Believe it or not, federal bureaucrats can be the taxpayers' best friends.
Smoke Alarm
This weed will make you stupid, unemployable, and lethargic. Now it's pot. It used to be tobacco.
Drugs: Club Medicine
Support for medical marijuana is growing, but many patients are not waiting for a change in policy.
Alcohol: Getting Wetter?
There are signs of a healthy shift away from hostility toward alcohol in the United States.
That "Can't Do" Spirit
Why owning your own business is no longer a recipe for independence.
Drugs: Mock Debate
A DEA manual on how to argue against legalization shows lack of imagination.
