“bullet” John Morgan, co-author of Marijuana Myths, Marijuana Facts, died on Friday at the age of 67 from acute myeloid leukemia.
“bullet” Via Transform, a powerfully fascinating look at drug war violence in Brazil.
“bullet” Sci-Fi author David Brin has an interesting post Why The Candidates Should “Stipulate”. It’s a great idea — two opposing candidates getting together and agreeing to stipulate that the drug war, for example, needs to end, thereby negating the use of the issue as a political football and being able to make progress on controversial topics. I doubt we’ll see it, though, in the upcoming Presidential race.
