Just What Was He Smoking?
Book Says Nixon Took Mood-Altering Drug

Elvis and Nixon "Fire it up!"

The Meeting
On December 21, 1970, Elvis Presley paid a visit to President Richard M. Nixon at the White House in Washington, D.C. The meeting was initiated by Presley, who wrote Nixon a six-page letter requesting a visit with the President and suggesting that he be made a "Federal Agent-at-Large" in the Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs. The events leading up to and after the meeting are detailed in the documentation and photographs included here, which include Presley's handwritten letter, memoranda from Nixon staff and aides, and the thank-you note from Nixon for the gifts (including a Colt 45 pistol and family photos) that Presley brought with him to the Oval Office.

Tricky Dick. Too bad that Nixon didn't choose cannabis instead of Dilantin as his preferred drug.

Nixon Launched The 30 Years' War as Election Issue

30 Years of Failure I served in Vietnam under President Nixon. I can assure you that Mr. Nixon was one of the most corrupt and double dealing Presidents America ever had. All the “War on Drugs” was a political diversion; however, it now has become “Law Enforcement’s” form of profit sharing or their “Cash Cow”. The politicians who support this “War” are morally wrong and spiritually bankrupt. It’s time that America stood up to this monster. Putting our children in prison is Not the answer. It’s time to slap the “Drug Warriors” in the face for this quiet holocaust.

U.S. law enforcement spends $7.5 to $10 billion annually enforcing marijuana laws.
According to the FBI, 720,000 Americans were arrested on marijuana charges in 2001.

but also to protect the public from harmful ideas."

"Green" Cough Syrup

Employee Who Uses ‘Medical’ Marijuana May Be Fired

High Court Hears Case on MMJ in The Workplace
By The Associated Press November 08, 2005 Salem, Ore. *
An attorney for Columbia Forest Products Inc. argued before the Oregon Supreme Court that voters who approved the Oregon Medical Marijuana Act never intended to force companies to let employees come to work with the drug in their systems. But Philip Lebenbaum, an attorney representing a mill worker who was fired after failing several drug tests, told the justices Monday that his client's medical condition left him legally disabled, requiring his employer to make reasonable accommodations for him in the workplace under the Oregonians with Disabilities Law.

More Job Applicants Failing Workplace Drug Test

The American Civil Liberties Union, in a 1999 report, argued that drug testing programs were not cost-effective - costing industries millions of dollars a year to nab the small percentage of workers who use drugs.

The ACLU said that the federal government spent $11.7million to test nearly 29,000 workers in 1990. Only 153 employees flunked, putting the cost of finding each user at $77,000, according to the ACLU.

Citing several academic and other studies, the ACLU says that drug users are not any more likely than their nonuser counterparts to have workplace accidents.

What To Do When Marijuana Comes To Work By Paula Barran
Keizertimes November 11, 2005 Oregon
Marijuana is illegal, sometimes. Until the Oregon Supreme Court decides Washburn v. Columbia Forest Products, you won’t know for sure if it’s illegal on the job. Here’s what happened, and what employers can do while waiting for the decision. Federally, marijuana cannot be prescribed or used. In June, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the federal government’s right to enforce the Controlled Substances Act regardless of the laws in any state.
