Silver City Sun-News, 07 Jan 2012 – Consider, please, the police officer, the sheriff’s deputy, the state police trooper. They are all that stands between us and the mayhem and chaos of intentional lawlessness. Most of what goes wrong that they must try to contain stems from our insatiable appetites for drugs and alcohol. We are careful to distinguish between "our" substance use and "their" abuse, though it is law enforcement that has to sort it out. With that in mind, think of the less than alert citizenry they must deal with in our community. There are the suburbs and the professional community, where substance abuse is more nuanced, where designated drivers are more likely to come into play, where, when law enforcement comes into the picture, there might be specialized need and arrests are less likely than rehabilitation.

The New Mexican, 24 Sep 2011 – Four years after New Mexico’s Medical Cannabis Program was created, nearly 4,000 New Mexico residents have been approved to use the herb as medicine, and 25 nonprofit producers have been licensed to sell it to them. New Mexico’s system for regulating those producers is being adopted by other states as a model for allowing medicinal use of marijuana without seeing pot dispensaries pop up on every street corner, as they have in California and Colorado.
