FOX / YouTube GOP Debate ignores marijuana
The debate, streamed live on YouTube, was the first to feature both Gov. Johnson and Rep. Paul, two candidates who have strongly denounced the “War on Drugs”. During breaks for the candidates, the coverage featured analysts who presented data from Google on search engine trends. One feature, a “word cloud”, showed the prevalence of terms used in the questions submitted by Americans for the candidates. As the debate entered the segment on “Social Issues”, the word cloud showed three words most prominently: gay, marriage, and marijuana. The analysts pointed out the “social conservative” / “libertarian” divide in the Republican Party.

FOX News looks at medical marijuana patients’ 2nd Amendment rights
If this decision comes down on the government’s side, thousands of medical marijuana patients, especially in rural areas, will be put in danger.

86-year-old veteran terrorized by police raid over marijuana
I get so sick of reporting these stories. At least this time it wasn’t reported as a “botched drug raid” or a “drug raid gone awry”. It wasn’t even a drug raid; it was a marijuana raid.
I also get tired of the framing that terrorizing a citizen in their own home was just a mistake because they had the wrong address. What is it about smoking pot that makes your home the right address for state-sponsored terrorism?
Gov. Gary Johnson, Paul Armentano speak at Cannabis Revival in Joplin, Missouri
Well over 5,000 people attended the Saturday Cannabis Revival event, which featured myself, Johnson, NORML Board member Dan Viets, NLC member Brian Leininger, and others. There was little-to-no police presence, and this was the most family-friendly event of this kind I have witnessed, with a noticeable contingent of families with children in attendance. Fox News local covered the event tactfully, and gave me almost two-minutes of sound bytes making the case for legalization here:
