US-Afghan relations sink further as Hamid Karzai accused of drug abuse

The war of words between the former deputy head of the UN mission to Afghanistan and the country's president escalated last night when Peter Galbraith suggested that Hamid Karzai's "mental stability" was in question and that he has a substance abuse problem.

Galbraith, the US diplomat who worked for the UN in Kabul until last year, made his remarks live on US television. His comments come as the White House considers withdrawing an invitation for Karzai to meet Barack Obama in Washington next month.

Obama sidelines Karzai as Washington alleges drug use

The Obama administration is to step up efforts to bypass Hamid Karzai after a series of controversial remarks by the Afghan president over recent days renewed concern about his reliability as an ally.

With relations between Washington and Kabul at a new low, the former UN envoy to Kabul Peter Galbraith said Karzai's comments raised questions about his mental stability and blamed them on alleged drug use.

Mephedrone ban backed by Commons

A ban on mephedrone and other so-called "legal highs" has been backed by MPs.

The drug was linked to several deaths and those breaching the ban could face up to 14 years in jail, Junior Home Office minister Alan Campbell said

The ban was backed by the Tories and the Lib Dems and comes after the Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs said it should be a Class B drug.

Losing the Drug War in California

To greet the news about California's ballot initiative to legalize and tax marijuana this November, which proponents say could raise as much as $1.4 billion a year, the New York Times ran a story with comments from the president of the California Peace Officer's Association, John Standish. "We just don't think anything good will come of this," he said. "It's not going to better society. It's going to denigrate it."

Vapor Central Manager Arrested by Toronto Police 51 Division

As reports of my arrest showed up online on Monday night, Marc Emery noted that "It wasn't about postering. It was a warrant for production & trafficking."

Well, I was arrested while putting up posters, just not for putting up posters, as some have suggested...

I was out for two hours that night, with my ladder, bucket of wood glue and water, a paint brush, and my bag of posters.

While I was standing on the ladder at Yonge & College, glueing the posters high enough so that they stay up longer (as David Malmo-Levine always advises), a Toronto Police Officer standing beside me demanded my ID and told me to come down.

Leaked CIA memo reveals Afghan war PR strategy for Europe

In the introduction of Transform's 2009 publication 'After the War on Drugs, Blueprint for Regulation' (p.7) the nature of the war on drugs is discussed:

"...the presentation of drugs as an existential ‘threat’ has gener­ated a policy response within which unevidenced and radical measures are justified. Drug policy has evolved within a context of ‘securitization’, characterised by increasing powers and resources for enforcement and state security apparatus. The outcomes of this strategy, framed as a drug ‘war’, include the legitimisation of propaganda, and the suspen­sion of many of the working principles that define more conventional social policy, health or legal interventions. Given that the War on Drugs is predicated on ‘eradication’ of the ‘evil’ drug threat as a way of achieving a ‘drug free world’, it has effectively established a permanent state of war. This has led to a high level policy environment that ignores critical scien­tific thinking, and health and social policy norms. Fighting the threat becomes an end in itself and as such, it creates a largely self-referential and self-justifying rhetoric that makes meaningful evaluation, review and debate difficult, if not impossible.
