"I just want to take a minute to tell you that we really do appreciate your writing over here. I find the state of this country (and its flock of good frickin' citizens) so outrageous that I mostly sit around pulling my hair out and fantasizing about Canada... sometimes Iceland... But, incredibly, you don't stew! It's like you're on a whole other plane. It's so easy to lose sight of reality with all that glare from the fancy magic show illusions of our 'two' party system. Seriously. Your message is hopeful and real."

July 18, 2003RAVE Act I: The Chill Is OnPretty much everyone in the drug reform movement knew the R.A.V.E. Act was bad news, and that's why so many activists fought so hard (and successfully) to keep it from passing. But in the kind of move that makes "politician" a dirty word, Joe Biden snuck this very unpopular bill onto a very popular bill that was certain to pass. Without the frosting: He cheated, in order to bypass the will of the people and his colleagues. And wouldn't you know, the first widely-known implementation of this stain of a law was an instance of precisely the worst kind of misuse that anyone not wrapped up in drug war hysteria could plainly see was bound to occur. And Joe's all, "Wait a minute, that wasn't supposed to happen!" And everyone's all like, "Duh, Joe. Duh." Free drugs or free speech? A canceled Billings rock concert could provoke an early challenge to new national anti-drug legislation. A May 30 fund-raising concert for the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws was canceled as bands were setting up for the show. The cancellation followed a warning from a federal drug agent that the Eagles Lodge could be fined up to $250,000 if illegal drugs were used at the event.
by Jacob Sullum, Reason Online Karen Tandy, expected to be confirmed soon as the new head of the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), did not face many tough questions when her nomination was considered by the Senate Judiciary Committee. One of the few exceptions came from Sen. Joseph Biden (D-Del.), who asked her about a problem he was instrumental in creating. Biden referred to an incident in Billings, Montana, on May 30, when a DEA agent brought a copy of the Illicit Drug Anti-Proliferation Act to the local Eagles Lodge. The agent warned the lodge's manager that a fund-raising concert sponsored by the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws and Students for a Sensible Drug Policy might violate the law if anyone attending the event lit up a joint. The law, which Biden sponsored, makes it a federal crime to "knowingly and intentionally" make a place available "for the purpose of manufacturing, distributing, or using any controlled substance." Violators are subject to $250,000 or more in civil penalties, a criminal fine of up to $500,000, and a prison sentence of up to 20 years. Read Them Rating: 9.5 Comments
