Reason magazine on-line ran this interesting piece from NORML Senior Policy Analyst Paul Armentano. It discusses the current state of "reefer madness" within the NFL and it's misguided drug-testing program, which has basically become a witch hunt for marijuana use. As Armentano more eloquently puts it: It's time for the sports world to admit a dirty little secret:
professional athletics are, and have long been, awash in intoxicants...
There isn't a child
alive who watched pro football during the 1980s that doesn't know that
Miller Lite beer "tastes great" and is "less filling." Yet the NFL
wants us to believe that allowing Ricky Williams to play pro ball would
'send the wrong message' to America's children?

Rep. Maurice Hinchey (D-NY) will be offering his medical marijuana amendment to the Commerce-Justice-Science bill some time this
week. The House could take up the CJS bill as early as tomorrow, and the
Hinchey vote could come on Wednesday. The Hinchey Amendment would prohibit the federal government from using taxpayer dollars to arrest and prosecute medical marijuana patients in those states -- such as Colorado -- where it is legal under state law. This legislation has picked up steam every year, and now that the House is Democratically-controlled it has its best chance yet. Your help is needed now more than ever, so please click below to find out what you can do. It just takes a minute! |

Up-and-coming actress Megan Fox of "Transformers" fame came out of the closet recently and stated publicly that she prefers marijuana to other drugs. She made it clear she doesn't think using pot is such a big deal and expressed her support for making it legal. If anyone knows where we can find Ms. Fox to see if she'd like to be a SAFER spokesperson, please call us. This artist's rendering of "Transformers" star Megan Fox and SAFER Executive Director Mason Tvert
demonstrates just how strong an alliance could be formed (if Ms. Fox were to call us). Our apologies to Brian Austin Green's body... |
