The Bad

Elimination of Marijuana Laws Smart, But Will Fail By Matt Jividen

ONDCP's Scott Burns has very tiny joints

Scott Morgan takes it to the drug czar's office with A False and Embarrassing Press Release from the Deputy Drug Czar

Deputy Drug Czar Scott Burns tries to go after the decriminalization bill in New Hampshire and ends up getting it wrong big time, so much so that apparently lawmakers are passing it around for laughs.

Burns claims that the law would decriminalize "the manufacturing, possession, and/or distribution of 1.25 ounces or -- over 90 marijuana joints." The law would, in fact, only decriminalize possession of 0.25 ounces. And even in Burns' deluded world, he'd still have to be rolling 2.5 joints per gram (and under the actual law, he'd have to be rolling 13 joints per gram). Now it's true that people do have different sized joints, but generally one gram is average.

More SWAT teams

Arcata, California (population 17,294) is considering it.

Oh look! Guinea Pig bedding!

Earlier this month, DWR thoroughly ridiculed, some upcoming Reefer Madness-style sensationalism from Nicky Taylor and the BBC.

Well, it's happened. Nicky Taylor discovered first-hand the horrifying effects of smoking marijuana and is sharing her terrifying ordeal with the rest of the world...

Operation overkill or I love a parade
DWR: Thursday, March 27, 2008

Police in London on their way to a drug raid where they take down an internet cafe, a butcher and a greengrocer.

If I saw this, I'd be looking for the big cartoon balloon animals, clowns and marching bands to follow.
