US NV: PUB LTE: Just Sayin’

Reno News & Review, 22 Nov 2012 – Re "NORML man" (15 Minutes, Nov. 15): The voters of Colorado and Washington state have made it clear that the federal government can no longer get away with confusing the drug war’s collateral damage with a comparatively harmless plant. If the goal of marijuana prohibition is to subsidize violent drug cartels, prohibition is a success. The drug war distorts supply and demand dynamics so that big money grows on little trees.
