FEATURE ARTICLE (Top) |
Calling for a Dialogue on Our Drug Policy
By New Mexico Governor Gary Johnson
|
"Finding a solution to the drug problem facing our nation and state by
debating and discussing the issue"
|
Governor Johnson says he feels that as Governor, he has an obligation
to get people to talk about the issue of finding a solution to the
nation's drug problem. He believes that the "War On Drugs" has become a
real failure.
|
He would like the topic be opened up for a discussion. He would like
all possible options, from A to Z, to be discussed and debated --
everything from even harsher sentences and actually imposing those
sentences to decriminalization of drug use.
|
"In the time that I have as Governor, I would like to put this issue on
the table and get everyone talking about it." The Governor states we
need to discuss the nation's drug policy and all the problems
associated with the drug problem in society.
|
"How much of our lives are affected by drugs and it's cost on society?"
He points out that the costs involve our judicial system, our
corrections system, our social programs and more.
|
He says we need to recognize the problem and recognized that the "War
on Drugs" that is being waged is a real failure.
|
Governor Johnson said he is not informed enough at this time to talk about
the options and solutions, but he hopes solutions and a plan to combat the
problem will emerge as a result of the dialogue.
|
"It is because of issues like this that I wanted the job as Governor.
We can potentially make positive change."

WEEKLY NEWS IN REVIEW (Top) |

Domestic News- Policy

COMMENT: (1) (Top) |
More evidence of the failure of US policy; as if any were needed:
|
(1) HEROIN SPREAD SEEN AS TREATMENTS PASS THOSE FOR COCAINE (Top) |
WASHINGTON -- More Americans are checking into treatment centers for
heroin and other opiates than for cocaine, the Government reported
Wednesday, evidence that heroin use is spreading.
|
The rise is fueled by users who snort and smoke heroin -- proof,
experts say, that these methods can be just as addictive as injecting
the drug with needles. The number of treatment center admissions for
heroin and other opiates rose by 29 percent -- up from 180,000 to
232,000 -- between 1992 and 1997, the report found.

COMMENT (2-4)
|
Joe Califano's attempt to put a pretty face on George W's inept
handling of the personal drug use question didn't come close to the
real issue: hypocrisy.
|
However the vast majority of editorials and Op-eds generated by Jr's
problem got it right and were quick to pick up on his "tough on drugs"
record as governor.
|
(2) DRUGGIE NATION (Top) |
You might recall, if your own memory is not fried, that millions of
Americans were `young and irresponsible' in the '70s -- just like
George W.
|
AS THE national media turn their laser beam on George W. Bush, it might
be well to recall how culturally acceptable marijuana, cocaine and LSD
were -- and how ignorant we were about their dangers -- in the 1970s,
when the presidential candidate was "young and irresponsible."
|
[snip]
|
Older and wiser, the nation turned against drug use, revived and
increased criminal penalties, and mounted major public health campaigns
to educate our young about the dangers of drug abuse. By 1990, casual
drug use had dropped by half.

(3) EDITORIAL: TEXAN TWO-STEP (Top) |
Bush Can't Avoid Answering Questions On Drug Use.
|
The federal government reported last week that 78 million Americans
have used illegal drugs at some point in their lives. But most of the
media's attention on drug use focused on a single citizen: Texas Gov.
George W. Bush.
|
Since he became a presidential candidate, Bush has tried to deflect
questions about whether he had used cocaine by saying that when he was
young and irresponsible, he did irresponsible things....
|
[snip]
|
But a presidential candidate's illegal drug use unavoidably intersects
with issues of drug policy. For example, if cocaine use can be brushed
aside as simply a youthful indiscretion when the user is a wealthy
presidential candidate, the question obviously arises as to why we
treat today's "youthful indiscretions" as criminal offenses

(4) BUSH'S RECORD STEADILY TOUGH ON DRUG USERS (Top) |
WASHINGTON - GOP presidential candidate George W. Bush doesn't want to
reveal any history he might have with cocaine, but as Texas governor he
has not been reluctant to talk tough about hard drugs and stiffen the
penalties for those who break drug laws.
|
Elected on a law-and-order platform in 1994, Bush has signed laws that
make it more likely that people convicted of possessing small amounts
of cocaine will go to jail, drug felons won't be paroled, and drug
dealers who sell to children or can be linked to drug-related deaths
will receive longer sentences.

COMMENT: (5) (Top) |
The gap between Governor Gary Johnson's voter approval and the
disapproval of his fellow politicians isn't surprising; politicians
are very reluctant to give up an old paradigm, especially one which
has been such a part of election and reelection
|
(5) NM GOVERNOR SAYS HE'LL KEEP UP DRUG DEBATE (Top) |
No Political Support For Decriminalization, He Says
|
SANTA FE - Gov. Gary Johnson said Thursday he's still all alone among
politicians when it comes to reconsidering anti-drug laws, although his
push for a drug-policy debate has gained nationwide attention.
|
But the Republican governor isn't giving up. "There is absolutely zero
political support. None. It's nonexistent," Mr. Johnson said Thursday.
|
But he said the public has been more supportive.....

COMMENT: (6) (Top) |
Further West, a Democratic governor faces a difficult choice; Gray
Davis is notoriously conservative and also a poll-watcher. Which way
will he jump?
|
(6) DAVIS MAY DEFY POLL, VETO NEEDLE EXCHANGE (Top) |
SACRAMENTO - Gov. Davis appears ready to veto a measure legalizing
needle exchange programs in California, despite a new poll showing
strong public support for giving clean needles to intravenous drug
addicts.
|
Although Davis hasn't made a public statement about the measure, the
politically cautious governor is signaling to lawmakers that he doesn't
like the bill. Davis must sign or veto the measure, which the
Legislature sent to him this week, within the next 12 days.

COMMENT: (7) (Top) |
Newsweek's Jonathan Alter started with a strong first paragraph but
then ran out of steam; even though he managed to cite most of the
major drug war evils, he denies a need for real reform and settles for
the ephemeral hope represented by more coerced treatment.
|
(7) THE BUZZ ON DRUGS (Top) |
The Miami bust and the rumblings on the campaign trail are only
background noise. The real issue is whether the nation's whole war
against drugs needs some serious rethinking.
|
[snip]
|
Meanwhile, heroin use in the United States has spiked so much that it
recently passed cocaine as the second most common reason (behind
alcohol) for users to check into treatment centers.
|
Grim news, yes, though the overall drug picture in the United States is
not as dark as the legalizers would have it. In fact, there are nearly
10 million fewer drug users than in 1985, when the crack epidemic
ripped through urban America. "We know what works in terms of
prevention," says James Burke, who heads the Partnership for a
Drug-Free America. "As perception of risk and social disapproval go up,
usage goes down across every ethnic and age group." That decline in
demand has in turn driven a decline in crime rates, which are closely
related to drugs.
|
Even so, the collateral damage of the drug war has been immense, and it
may yet reverberate through American politics.

COMMENT: (8) (Top) |
Tough as it is to begin and end this section with Joe C, this item is
too good to pass up. I wonder when he'll realize that CASA's latest
"study" suggests a lot of young people are in prison for the "crime"
of selecting the wrong father.
|
(8) STUDY: DADS KEY TO SOLVING DRUG USE (Top) |
WASHINGTON -- OK dads, listen up. The key to winning the war on drugs
rests not with police or laws, but with you.
|
A national survey released Monday shows that dads who eat dinner with
their children, take them to religious services and help them with
their homework greatly reduce the chances their kids will smoke, drink
or use illegal drugs.
|
"We need a return of the family dinner in America," said Joseph
Califano Jr., president of the National Center on Addiction and
Substance Abuse at Columbia University, which conducted the study.

|
COMMENT: (9-11) (Top) |
The week began with the widely hailed arrest of some sixty-odd airline
maintenance and service workers who allegedly constituted a major drug
"smuggling ring." Most newspapers printed the government version, but
not everyone had praise for the DEA.
|
Amazingly another improbable Miami Airport tale (fish this time) beat
our deadline; could there be any better demonstration of drug war
futility?
|
(9) DOZENS HELD IN AIRPORT SMUGGLING (Top) |
2-Year Sting Operation Leads To Drug, Weapons Charges
|
Dozens of airline employees were arrested yesterday on drug smuggling
charges in a series of predawn raids at their homes by federal agents.
The arrests ended a two-year government sting operation at Miami
International Airport targeting ramp workers who would smuggle anything
from cocaine to hand grenades from Latin America to cities in the
northeastern United States.

(10) AIRLINE HEROIN STING WAS SHAMEFUL FARCE (Top) |
The Drug Enforcement Administration and the news media did a grave
disservice to American Airlines and the American people this week.
|
It is not uncommon for law enforcement agencies to overdramatize
criminal investigations, and it certainly isn't unusual for the media
to overplay a story. But the highly publicized sting operation
involving a so-called drug ring using the facilities of American
Airlines and its contractors was bad police work and poor journalism.
|
[snip]
|
Get this picture.
|
The "drug" dealer in this case is really the U.S. government, and
because agents were afraid of the possibility of "real" drugs being
transported, they used phony ones.
|
In these kinds of cases, I always wonder how many of those arrested
would have gone about their lives as law-abiding citizens -- doing
their jobs -- if agents of their government had not waved money in
their faces to entice them to do otherwise.

may be another inside smuggling job at Miami International Airport.

An egregious police homicide in LA received front page coverage in the
Times; let's hope this one isn't swept under the rug too quickly.
|
(12) BEREFT FAMILY DISPUTES POLICE SHOOTING REPORT (Top) |
It was an hour before midnight when an El Monte police SWAT team,
serving a search warrant as part of a broad-ranging narcotics
investigation, undertook what it called the "high-risk entry" of a
Compton home--shooting the locks off the front and back doors.
|
Their warrant, which named no one in the Paz home, says police expected
to find marijuana and cash belonging to a suspected member of a drug
ring who had allegedly used the house as a maildrop. They found no
drugs, but in the course of the search they shot a retired grandfather
twice in the back--killing him.

COMMENT: (13) (Top) |
We've often noted Wisconsin's bad case of incarceration fever; last
week a Madison newspaper took their governor to task in no uncertain
terms.
|
(13) EDITORIAL: LOCKING UP WISCONSIN (Top) |
There are three certainties in life: death, taxes and if a state
builds a prison, the politicians will find a way to fill it.
|
As Wisconsin officials pour hundreds of millions of dollars into one
of the wildest prison-building sprees in the nation's history, the
state's prison population is growing at an exponential rate. Last
year, the number of inmates in Wisconsin's prisons grew by 13.4
percent -- the third-largest growth rate in the nation.
|
[snip]
|
Wisconsinites understand this fact better than the politicians. A July
poll of 1,002 Wisconsin adults found that 46 percent said the state
should "reduce (prison) spending to increase spending
elsewhere.''
|
[snip]
|
...When Wisconsin builds prisons at an unprecedented rate, that
enriches contractors who have donated generous sums to the campaign
funds of Gov. Tommy Thompson and his legislative allies.
|
Rare is the political fund-raiser these days at which prison
contractors don't show up with open checkbooks.

(14) MICROSOFT MILLIONAIRE BACKS MOVE TO LEGALIZE POT (Top) |
OLYMPIA -- Convinced that laws against marijuana sales and use are
futile, a Microsoft millionaire says he was more than glad to donate
$100,000 to a campaign to legalize pot in Washington.
|
Bruce McKinney, 47, now a Seattle software programmer, this week
identified himself as the millionaire providing major financial backing
for Initiative 229, which would permit marijuana sales in state liquor
stores and would license farmers to cultivate the plant.

While many in the working group debating this legislation since

(15) MEDICAL MARIJUANA LAW REVISION IS A BAD ONE (Top) |
Disturbing rumors are floating about SB 848,San Jose Democratic Sen.
John Vasconcellos' bill to implement the recommendations of the state
Attorney General's Task Force on Medical Marijuana. If an amendment
currently being considered is added to that bill, the final result
would be not worth having.
|
[snip]
|
So Sen. Vasconcellos might introduce an amendment that some task force
members suggested earlier.
|
Briefly, the amendment in its present form would require doctors with
patients who have a physician's recommendation for medical marijuana to
notify the county health department, sending along the patient's name,
date of birth and Social Security number. The county health department
would be required to convey this information to the state health
department, which would place it in a database that could be accessed
by law enforcement officials.
|
It's not hard to see potential privacy and other troublesome aspects to
this proposal.

hears

HAMILTON -- Organized crime is a multi-billion dollar enterprise in
this country and the federal government must develop a plan to fight
it, Canada's police chiefs say.
|

|
An organized clime study prepared by the federal solicitor-general's
department suggests the illicit drug trade is worth $10 billion and
that telemarketing fraud is a $4 billion industry.
|
"Everything is profit-motivated," Fantino said. "It doesn't matter
what the commodity is, as long as there's money to be made, organized
crime will be there."
|
At a dinner last night, provincial Solicitor-General David Tsubouchi
endorsed a call by the police chiefs that anyone 16 and older should
be treated as an adult for serious offences.
|
"AduIt time for adult crime," Tsubouchi said.

COMMENT: (17) (Top) |
A report on British club drug tourism in Ibiza suggests just how a fun
scene may become violent and dangerous as the police are urged to
"crack down" on "drug crime."
|
(17) UK: HIGH ANXIETY (Top) |
Every year drugs worth an estimated $300m are sold to the thousands of
young ravers who flock to Ibiza for its trademark cocktail of sun, sex
and dance music.
|
The man I needed to see was called "Lizard" and I found him curled up
on a plastic sun lounger outside a heaving beach bar at Playa d'en
Bossa, just south of Ibiza Town.
|
[snip]
|
...the main reason why working out here is such good fun. You don't get
the kind of drug-associated violence and intimidation you get in
Britain. I am not involved in the drug scene here, and there is no
pressure to be involved."
|
Marks says the criminals have not gelled into mafia-style gangs - yet.
"I am the type of guy who tends to attract . . . attention wherever I
go, and I have to say I have not come across mafias in Ibiza. It is not
the Spanish way. The scene is less organised than that at the moment,
probably because security on the island on the whole is so poor and the
police don't get uptight about who is selling what. The relationship
between the clubs and the police is surprisingly good."
|
A clubber who flew to the island last week to join 7,000 others at a
Ministry of Sound evening at Pacha nightclub says: "Most of the people
who go to Ibiza for the music don't get involved in any trouble. The
island has a unique atmosphere. We have tried other places, such as
Portugal and Cyprus. But nowhere else give you the freedom to
misbehave."

(18) IRAN CONFRONTS A LONG-HIDDEN PROBLEM: DRUGS (Top) |
TEHRAN, Iran -- The problem of illicit drugs is commonly associated
with prosperous, liberty-minded societies in Europe and America, not a
theocratic state run by some of the Islamic world's most conservative
mullahs.
|
But Iran is slowly discovering that it too has a drug problem. It has a
drug smuggling problem. It has a drug violence and kidnapping problem.
More and more, it seems, it has a drug use problem. And increasingly
Iranian authorities have begun to grapple with this problem in the open.

Thanks to Kevin Zeese for the Following:
|
Robert Zemakis, the Academy Award winning director of "Forest Gump,"
"Roger Rabbit" and "Back to the Future" has done an excellent video
which reviews drug, alcohol and tobacco policy for the 20th Century in
a two hour documentary. Titled "The Pursuit of Happiness: Smoking,
Drinking and Drugging in the 20th Century," the film is to have its
premiere on the Showtime cable network on Sept. 13 as part of "In the
20th Century," a millennium-related series using well-known directors
to take on major subjects of their choosing.
|
The show features great historical film clips, an excellent soundtrack
and features interviews with Mike Gray and Kevin Zeese, among others.
(Historians actually dominate the show, Mike and Zeese are the
anti-prohibition spices to the main course.)

QUOTE OF THE WEEK (Top)
|
"One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we've been
bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the
bamboozle. We're no longer interested in finding out the truth. The
bamboozle has captured us. it is simply too painful to acknowledge --
even to ourselves -- that we've been so credulous. (So the old
bamboozles tend to persist as the new bamboozles rise.)" - Carl Sagan,
"The Fine Art of Baloney Detection," Parade, February 1, 1987
|
"Well this just goes to show you that all of his scientific theories
and his teachings are whacked out ideas dreamed up in clouds of illegal
marijuana smoke." - Pat Robertson on news that Carl Sagan used cannabis.
