US OR: PUB LTE: Legalize Drugs, And You Won’t Need A New
Corvallis Gazette-Times, 02 Apr 2013 – No, Benton County does not need a new jail. Health care for all, better funding for the library and for schools, more food security, yes, but a new jail, no. The majority of people incarcerated by Benton County are there for drug crimes, so the answer is to legalize drugs. Prohibition did not work for alcohol, and it does not work for drugs.

US OR: PUB LTE: Cash Crop
The Oregonian, 12 Mar 2013 – The Oregonian’s editorial about cash-strapped timber counties overlooked an obvious source of revenue ("Light for forest counties," March 8). Law enforcement officials and The Oregonian have focused attention on Oregon as a "marijuana producing" state, conflating the sending of Oregon homegrown cannabis out of state into a public safety problem. The solution, of course, is the creation of a regulated market for sales of Oregon-grown cannabis to adults here in Oregon.
