War on Drugs Hits New Low By Jordan Smith
Austin Chronicle November 23, 2005*USA
The federal war on medi-pot patients hit a new low last month when Royal Canadian Mounted Police nabbed 38-year-old Steven W. Tuck from his Vancouver, B.C., hospital bed, whisked him to the border, and relinquished him to the custody of U.S. officials, who wanted him on charges related to a 2001 marijuana bust in California. Tuck, an Army vet, uses marijuana to help treat chronic pain associated with injuries he received in a parachuting accident back in the 1980s.

Jonathan Magbie Vigil

A Searing Portrait of Abuse By Colbert I. King
Washington Post November 25, 2005*Washington, D.C.
This is the 12th column to be written about Jonathan Magbie, a 27-year-old man who was paralyzed from the neck down at age 4 after being struck by a drunk driver. Magbie lived at home with his mother, needed private nursing care at least 20 hours a day and was totally dependent upon others because he couldn't use any of his limbs. He got around in a motorized wheelchair that he operated with his mouth, and his breathing was aided by a tracheotomy tube and an implanted diaphragmatic pacemaker.

MCNAMARA TELLS CALIFORNIA TO STOP ARRESTING USERS!
AND TO OFFER VOLUNTARY TREATMENT INSTEAD
Restore-Digest V2002 #204 September 26, 2002
Sacramento: Retired San Jose Police Chief, and Hoover Institution Research Fellow Joseph D. McNamara testified as an expert witness on California's drug and alcohol policies at a hearing held by the Little Hoover Commission on State Government.

McNamara quoted a study originating from the National Academy of Sciences declaring that the lack of adequate data to judge the impact of the nation's drug policies was "unconscionable. "

McNamara said the same may be said of California's policies, and the state's current fiscal problems call for changes in an expensive and failing drug policy.

He said that using the police in a doomed effort to stop people from using drugs in private resulted in less enforcement for serious crimes and discriminated against Hispanics, African-Americans and young people.

Stigmatizing all drug users as criminals and locking them up, damages their futures, and harms families, communities and all of California, according to McNamara.
