“As cops educate more cops and prosecutors educate more prosecutors, the sooner the madness ends.” By talking about the many byproducts of the war on drugs (over incarceration, civil forfeiture, police militarization, poor police community relations, overdose deaths, immigration, etc.), we can paint a correlation for people. This reformation also creates an atmosphere for increased…

“Now if I’m meeting people, the default is to be just present — not just physically, but mentally present to the conversation,” he said. “That switch has been profound.” “In my relationships, I had always approached it from a ‘How do I manage this?’ How do I present myself?’ ‘Am I a good listener?’ type…

She was a totally different person,” Richard told KPIX. “No one had a bad trip,” said Dr. Grob.” College cannabis clubs are nothing new; many have been around since the 70s. NORML counts at…
