2008-08-11 05:13:00 Who has woe? Who has sorrow? Who has strife? Who has complaining? Who has wounds without cause? Who has redness of eyes? Those who tarry long over wine; those who go to try mixed wine. Do not look at wine when it is red, when it sparkles in the cup and goes down smoothly. In ...
Isaiah 16:10 and the Two-Wine Theory

Those policies have failed, and continue to fail, to effectively address the problems of drug abuse, especially the problems of juvenile drug use, the problems of addiction, and the problems of crime caused by the existence of a criminal black market in drugs.SplashCast "Law Enforcement Against Prohibition" to your pageBlair AndersonJudge Jerry Paradis New Zealand Tour 2008 facilitator.phone 03 3894065, cell 027 265 7219Related articles by ZemantaMilestones in Drug Policy, Homegrown Solutions Are Best.LEAP NZ Tour 2004Get Blairs Brain on Newsfeed... http://feeds.feedburner.com/Bla-irsBrain-CanvassingForOpinion
Is Senator Kennedy a Victim of Pot Prohibition?
2008-05-23 16:00:00 In the fourteen years I’ve worked in marijuana law reform, few events have struck me as so needlessly tragic as the federal government’s consistent and deliberate stifling of medical cannabis research. Nowhere is the Feds’ refusal to allow this science more overt and inhumane than as it pertains to the investigation of cannabinoids as anti-cancer agents, particularly in the treatment of gliomas. [C]annabinoids have displayed a great potency in reducing glioma tumor growth either in vitro or in animal experimental models. … [They] appear to be selective antitumoral agents as they kill glioma cells without affecting the viability of nontransformed counterparts. As noted in today’s wire stories regarding Senator Edward Kennedy’s diagnosis, glioma is an aggressive form of cancer that affects an estimated 10,000 Americans annually. Standard treatments for the cancer include radiation and chemotherapy, though neither ...

Prohibition is deviancy amplifying behavior. LTE, Scotland on Sunday
2008-03-09 16:43:00 The Editor, Scotland on Sunday,108 Holyrood Road,Edinburgh, EH8 8AS, mailto:letters_sos@scotlandonsu-nday.com.It is policy irony that zero tollerance of a consensual 'sin' delivers exactly what it set out to prevent and its stakeholders call this the triumph of good over evil. Wherever the rules are the same, the outcomes (or insert expletive of choice) are the same. Prohibition is just deviancy amplifying behavior.I have observed this deficiency for thirty years or more. The imperfection of prohibition and its health, security, economic, racial, sexist and ageist failings disgrace us all.All the more so that this is mostly about pot, a herb which the 'harms are largely overstated' and called 'the safest therapeutic known to man'. I, as a friend of the court have been witness to and aggrieved by Police 'testilying' to judges about the hazards of small time bonafide medical users grow ops. Police then lie to the public - linking pot to violence, organised crime and guns. They ...

It continues to cost countless human lives, and causes terrible misery to millions throughout the world. Alcohol is the root cause of several problems facing society.

Danny Kushlick, Transform Director said:"We are absolutely delighted at Mr Brunstrom's paper. The Chief Constable has displayed great leadership and imagination in very publicly calling for a drug policy that replaces the evident failings of prohibition with a legal system of regulation and control for potentially dangerous drugs". "Mr Brunstrom's call is less surprising when you consider that prohibition, and the illegal markets it creates, is the single largest cause of crime ...
Crime stats ?business as usual? for prohibition beneficiaries
2007-10-01 06:44:00 Press release: Mild Greens, 1 October 2007Crime stats 'business as usual' for prohibition beneficiariesContrary to popular myth, 'crime does pay', says Christchurch Mayoral candidate, Blair Anderson ( blair4mayor.com) ? and it provides a considerable number of comfortable middle class salaries in NZ 'sadly at the expense of genuine community wellbeing and safety'.Mr Anderson says the 6000 or so NZ police are primary beneficiaries of crime in New Zealand (fat salaries and perks). 'Alongside courts, corrections, judiciary, lawyers, prison builders, and politicians, police have a dangerous interest in maintaining an unacceptable level of crime, instead of genuinely defusing the violence, black marketing, mistrust and alienation in NZ.' 'That fact that official crime statistics just released for the year show a small downward fluctuation is neither here nor there', says Mr Anderson, 'and police and government deserve no credit whatsoever, because th...

Prohibition Redux
2007-08-20 17:59:00 The US experiment to prohibit the sail and use of alcohol was by any measure a grand failure. The only thing it succeeded in doing was to create rich and powerful criminal elements. It was eventually recognized as the failure it was bu even those who had supported it and abandoned. The "war on drugs" has also been a a very similar failure but is still going strong. In early 2006 I wrote the following: While the war in Iraq may outrageous there is another war that is equally outrageous and is truly bi-partisan, the war on drugs. Like the war in Iraq it has accomplished nothing positive, consumed vast sums of the nations wealth and ruined lives. The reasons for the war on drugs are similar to the reasons for the war in Iraq.

Porn, Prohibition and Just say No.
2007-06-04 12:10:00 The increased sexualization of girls and women in our culture is troubling as is the blurring between pornography and mainstream entertainment. What's sad is the underlying message girls are getting and believing, in part because it's true -- it's a way they can feel powerful instantly and it can lead to a certain kind of fame and celebrity. And for girls whose parents never talk to them about embracing their sexuality and feeling comfortable in their own skin (vs. just preaching abstinence), the allure of being sexy in this way can be very compelling. The 'Porn Effect' Onlinehttp://www.huffingtonpost-.com/anastasia-goodstein/the-po-rn-effect-online_b_50463.htmlTh-is psychosocial dynamic reads a lot like systemic failed drug policy.
