“I don’t smoke, but my mom does. This is the note she left for me this morning.”

Humor aside, it’s very unfortunate that we live in a country where parents have to ask their children for pee so the government doesn’t label them a criminal unfit to be employed or to be a parent.

Salvia Divinorum: Latin for “Don’t put that shit in MY pipe!”

I can totally relate to this. The one and only time I tried salvia I closed my eyes while I held the hit in. When I exhaled and opened my eyes, it felt as if a great weight was pushing me down into one of the crevasses of the couch. There was nothing I could do to stop it. I would join the Cheetos and long lost change as prisoners within the cushions. Though everything turned out okay, I think you can understand why I only tried the stuff once. That’s just not my type of high.

Prohibition: Then And Now

admin — Sun, 02 Oct 2011 17:10:28 +0000

From Reason TV, we present “Prohibition Vogue: Why we can’t stop talking about ‘The Noble Experiment.’”

Alcohol prohibition may have been repealed in 1933, but Americans have rarely been more intoxicated with the “noble experiment” than they are today.

Between “Last Call,” Daniel Okrent’s best-selling 2010 book, leading clothing designers taking inspiration from jazz age fashion, a new prime-time documentary by Ken Burns, and the new, second season of HBOs critically acclaimed Boardwalk Empire, it’s impossible to ignore the new interest in Prohibition. With a fixation on “classic cocktails” and faux-speakeasies, even drinking culture itself seems to be bellying up to the bar.

What’s fueling this fascination and where will it end? Reason.tv talks with filmmaker Burns, author Okrent, and drug policy activist Aaron Houston of Students for Sensible Policy, who argues that “Culture and art right now are reflective of a general sentiment in this society that the war on drugs has not worked.”

And that change is in air. Marijuana legalization initiatives will be on the ballot in at least two states in 2012, Reps. Ron Paul (R-Texas) and Barney Frank (D-Mass.) have introduced legislation to let states decide pot’s legal status, and record high levels of Americans are in favor of legalization. As Okrent tells Reason.tv, the need for excise tax revenue during the Great Depression helped make repeal of alcohol prohibition not just possible but desirable. Coupled with a sense of exhaustion at a drug war that has done little to prevent drug use, the dire financial straits of government at all levels may just spell the demise of contemporary prohibition.
