		<title>what&#8217;s the hangup?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The longer I look at data surrounding the use of marijuana the more I am convinced that the only people who don&#8217;t read are the federales. All the science I am acquainted with tells me that far from the menace marijuana is characterized as by those same federales, it is not only mostly benign, but [...]]]></description>

		<title>hooked: the history channel</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am watching Hooked: Illegal Drugs and How They Got That Way. There is some good history here, but unfortunately they fail on a number of counts. They fairly treat the prejudicial treatment of Mexicans and blacks in the story of making marijuana illegal. They give Harry Anslinger some fair play and commentary. What they [...]]]></description>

		<title>marijuana memo #4</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m for legalization of marijuana under any fair set of rules. I&#8217;m not for a legalized free for all. I am for judicious medical use of any beneficial substance. I&#8217;m not for the abuse of any substance. Whatever happened to the golden mean? Where is moderation in this or reason for that matter? When will [...]]]></description>

		<title>stubborn facts</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was just listening to Dr. Bob Melamede&#8217;s talk at the 2006 NORML Conference. And though Dr. Bob&#8217;s Cannabuzz podcast is a bit irritating because much of it is text read by computer, it is some of the most substantive science about cannabis and the human body. I have heard the following in a few [...]]]></description>

		<title>off the jag</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have been busy lately and have not been doing much research or paying attention to the press. But a quick look at Marijuana Policy Project and NORML tells me the War is still being waged against Americans, Canadians, Columbians, Mexicans and the rest of the world by the self-righteous pseudo-protectors of our children. I [...]]]></description>

		<title>curious commentary</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was reading one of the comments about this podcast found on the iTunes music store by tfoo. In it s/he applauds the use of marijuana for medical purposes. Tfoo&#8217;s mother used marijuana during chemo treatment &#8220;to great effect during her struggle with breast cancer.&#8221; This frank admission is certainly welcome even though this podcast [...]]]></description>

		<title>drug war heresies</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have just finished reading Drug War Heresies by Robert MacCoun and Peter Reuter. Their conclusion is that policy change is necessary, but not the change legalizers or drug warriors suggest might hope for. They believe zero-tolerance policies are both unrealistic and at least the way they are practiced today, prejudicial, unfair and cruel. They [...]]]></description>

		<title>states flout federal law</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am listening to a web chat between Angel Raich who was involved in the failed Supreme Court case on medical marijuana, Ethan Nadelmann and Dan Abrahamson of the Drug Policy Alliance. Dan said that in the late nineteen twenties, early thirties, states had begun to repeal their own prohibition laws essentially saying to the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Thanks for visiting the Marijuana Memo web site and blog. This is the second edition of the podcast. In it I discuss some of the moral implications of the war on marijuana with some references to the success and failure of federal legislation and the terrible politics that institutes that legislation.
