Prescriptions Scarier Than ‘Devil Weed’

I remember hearing 62 years ago that Robert Mitchum had been caught with a joint of marijuana in his suitcase, was arrested and his acting career ended. I remember thinking, “He’s done for, now — that devil weed has entered his brain, and it is all over for him.” Such was the power of public disinformation. In people of my generation, those concepts still hold true for many.

Every morning, we review the cases that come before the medical examiner’s office. During the past few years, more and more deaths are related to prescription drugs, often taken with legal prescriptions for opiates. In 2009, drug overdoses reportedly exceeded automobile deaths in 15 states. Some studies indicated deaths from ingesting multiple prescription drugs is up by 60 percent. This is partially fueled by the ever-increasing volume of advertisements for prescription drugs on television. Serotonin selective reuptake inhibitors (SSRI) are epidemic. You know them as drugs such as Prozac, Zoloft and Paxil. The costs to health care are enormous.

Verschiedene Modelle der Drogenprohibition in Europa und ihre Auswirkungen

Bin eben auf einen spannenden Artikel von Glen Greenwald zur Drogenpolitik Portugals gestoßen, den ich euch ans Herz legen möchte. Zunächst fasse ich aber erst einmal verschiedene mir bekannte Modelle der Drogenprohibition zusammen, um einen (evtl. unvollständigen) Überblick zu ermöglichen.

Die Situation in Deutschland sollte uns als Bürgern vergleichsweise gut bekannt sein, mit allen Problemen, die sie mit sich bringt. In Deutschland gibt es Drogen wie Alkohol und Tabak, auf die der Staat Steuern erhebt, deren Konsum, Besitz und Handel (unter bestimmten Auflagen) legal ist. Und es gibt illegale Drogen. Deren Konsum ist nicht verboten, Besitz und Handel aber sehr wohl.

Drug Decriminalization in Portugal: Lessons for Creating Fair and Successful Drug Policies

On July 1, 2001, a nationwide law in Portugal took effect that decriminalized all drugs, including cocaine and heroin. Under the new legal framework, all drugs were "decriminalized," not "legalized." Thus, drug possession for personal use and drug usage itself are still legally prohibited, but violations of those prohibitions are deemed to be exclusively administrative violations and are removed completely from the criminal realm. Drug trafficking continues to be prosecuted as a criminal offense.

State NAACP backs marijuana legalization initiative

Saying that prohibition takes a heavy toll on minorities, leaders of the NAACP's California chapter announced Monday that they are backing passage of a marijuana legalization initiative on the November ballot.

The war on drugs is a failure and disproportionately targets young men and women of color, particularly African-American males, said Alice Huffman, president of the NAACP's state conference.

Milliardengeschäft: Kalifornien verdient prächtig an Cannabis

Kaliforniens wichtigste Nutzpflanze ist nicht Wein oder Weizen - sondern Cannabis. Das Geschäft mit dem grünen Gold ist milliardenschwer, und demnächst könnte es sogar komplett legalisiert werden.

Der größte Marihuanaschmuggler in der Geschichte der Westküste trägt Polohemd. Gern in Cannabisgrün, mit ausgebeulten Jeans und Komfortschuhen dazu. Bruce Perlowin ist kein Scarface-Typ - eher ein Althippie, mit einem Gesicht wie ein ungemachtes Bett. Als "King of Pot" befehligte er in den 70er- und 80er-Jahren fast 100 Schiffe, mit denen er Cannabis im Wert von 1 Mrd. $ unter der Golden Gate Bridge hindurch in die Bucht von San Francisco schleuste. Mit 25 war er Multimillionär, mit 32 wurde er verhaftet und zu neun Jahren Knast verurteilt.
