The Haag, By Dr. Geuss

The whimsical political satire, THE HAAG, was first performed as a live play at the July 23rd demonstration in front of Oakland City Hall, Calif., protesting federal actions against the state’s medical marijuana dispensaries. For the last several years, the U.S. Attorney for the Northern California District, Melinda Haag, has been waging a brutal offensive against medical cannabis patients and the dispensaries in which they go for their medicine. This offensive has closed hundreds of state-legal, locally compliant dispensaries in Northern California and has threatened others like Harborside Health Center. [Continue Reading]

StoptheDrugWar.Org Is Looking For Interns

By David Borden, StopTheDrugWar.Org StoptheDrugWar.org works for an end to drug prohibition worldwide and an end to the “drug war” in its current form. We believe that much of the harm commonly attributed to “drugs” is really the result of placing drugs in a criminal environment. We believe the global drug war has fueled violence, civil instability, and public health crises; and that the currently prevalent arrest- and punishment-based policies toward drugs are unjust. Please visit our web site, and please read more about us. We are seeking Legislative, Writing/Research, Web Content, Information Technology, and Admin/Finance interns (potentially [Continue Reading]

Marijuana Policy Project's Strategic Plan For 2013

By Rob Kampia, Marijuana Policy Project Eighteen years ago today, the Marijuana Policy Project was founded with the intention of ending marijuana prohibition. I am enormously proud of how far we have come, but I am even more excited about what lies ahead. Lawmakers are introducing good bills in state legislatures around the country, support among elected officials and the public is growing rapidly, and reporters are consistently asking us which states will be the next to reform their marijuana laws. Here is what I think we can reasonably accomplish [Continue Reading]
