On its Web site (www.norml.org), NORML lays out the "Principles of Responsible Cannabis Use." Five areas are covered: "Adults Only," "No Driving," "Resist Abuse," "Set and Setting" and "Respect the Rights of Others." It's the last two that are most instructive when it comes to the tobacco debate. Set and Setting" refers to both the values of the user and the time and place when use is appropriate. Or, in NORML's words, "The responsible cannabis consumer will be vigilant as to conditions-time, place, mood, etc.-and does not hesitate to say 'no' when those conditions are not conducive to a safe, pleasant...experience. With regard to "Respect the Rights of Others," NORML has this to say: "No one may violate the rights of others, and no substance use excuses any such violation. Regardless...

Don't expect a sudden influx of out-of-state cash to fix what's ailing the company that aspires to be Maine's biggest dispenser of medical marijuana. Augusta-based Northeast Patients group has lost two of its board members, including state representative and former Cumberland County Sheriff Mark Dion. State officials and patients are expressing doubts about whether they can trust the company that came forward last year looking like the most professional outfit around, but now is looking a little fly-by-night, needing 11th-hour financing from a hastily created Delaware corporation.

It's a small-town clinic, like so many others, tucked discreetly into a commercial building at the end of a quiet street, across from a baseball diamond. The clinic itself has no sign; its presence is signaled merely by a door demarcated with a few telling notices: "Obama for President," "Union of Concerned Scientists," "We accept VISA, M/C, Amex" and "No person under 18 allowed. Another underlying root of the problem seems to be public perception; while California and 13 other states have active medical cannabis programs, marijuana still holds the 80-year-old stigma from the larger alcohol and narcotics prohibition movements headed by Federal Bureau of Narcotics chief Harry J. Anslinger in the 1920s and '30s. A fullfledged assault was unleashed on alcohol and narcotics in the post-Wor...

The war on drugs is an important feature of neoliberalism in Canada. Yet while the relationship between the drug war and neoliberal policy has been the subject of focus by writers in the US, it has received little attention in the literature on either drug policy or neoliberalism in Canada. Gordon examines this gap by using a political-economy framework, which highlights the central role played by drug prohibition in the street-based operationalization of neoliberal restructuring and links the policing dynamic to the historical role drug criminalization has played in Canada.

Spain was one of the first countries in Europe to decriminalize drug use and one of the last to embrace harm reduction. As such, Spain's drug policies often appear to be rather contradictory. In this paper we will review the current status of drug laws and the major drug policies that have been implemented in Spain over the last 25 years concerning cannabis; their demographic, political, and economic contexts; and their apparent consequences. We will follow a chronological approach that outlines every major change that occurred during that period while trying to provide some sociopolitical background. We have divided the period under study into four major phases. Each phase addresses a major political change or shift in the social response to drug-related problems. In this account, we w...
