Book excerpt: Nearly forty years after President Richard Nixon first declared a "war on drugs" (calling drugs the "modern curse of the youth, just like the plagues and epidemics of former years") it seems the war may finally be coming to an end. In his first interview after being confirmed as the Director of the Office of National Drug Control Policy, Gil Kerlikowske told the Wall Street Journal that he thought it was time to retire the war rhetoric when it comes to addressing drug abuse. At the state level, the past year has seen proposals to legalize marijuana introduced in a handful of states with polls showing approximately forty-five percent of Americans nationwide in support of the idea. Importantly, these recent developments follow nearly a decade and a half of successful drug reform measures at the state level on issues ranging from medical marijuana, treatment instead of incarceration, asset forfeiture, and marijuana decriminalization. In short, the argument that we should end the war on drugs in favor of a new approach no longer resides in the world of the politically unthinkable, and has quickly become a subject of serious policy and political discussion. This Article considers how we might think about federal drug laws in a post-drug war context, particularly one in which states are increasingly passing laws that are at-odds with federal law. It argues that, when it comes to federal drug law, traditional debates about prohibition, legalization, or decriminalization turn out to be surprisingly unimportant. Instead, as states begin to enact new policies, the key question facing federal lawmakers and administration officials will be how to harmonize federal law with state reforms. The Article's argument proceeds in four Parts. Part I provides a brief overview of the mounting evidence that the war on drugs strategy has proven to be an extremely costly and largely ineffective method for dealing with the problem of drug abuse. Part I also looks at how dissatisfaction with the current approach has led to increased interest in decriminalizing or legalizing marijuana, even at the federal level. Part II argues that the focus on debates over legalization or decriminalization at the federal level is misplaced. This is because, even if it wanted to, the federal government would not have the ability to unilaterally "legalize" or "decriminalize" any controlled substances. Using the example of medical marijuana laws as a case study, Part III contends that, just as the federal government does not have the ability to unilaterally decriminalize a drug, it also does not have the power to stop states from reforming their own laws. Part IV considers the implications of Parts II and III and concludes that they counsel in favor of reforming federal drug laws in a way that would respect states' decisions to innovate in the area of drug policy, while also providing important controls and incentives to prevent against negative externalities in the form of spillover effects in neighboring states.
Download or read book Helena Star written by Stewart Patrick Riley and published by Robert Reed Publishers. This book was released on 2021-01-08 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the epic tale of the motor vessel Helena Star. On April 17, 1978, the U.S. Coast Guard seized the aging freighter 140 miles off Washington State's coast with its hold loaded with 37 tons of marijuana--the west coast's largest pot bust--worth an estimated street value of $74 million. Drug agents later seized the sleek Joli, a 61-foot sailboat, for its suspected role in the case. A past winner of the prestigious Victoria to Maui sailboat race, the Joli had been purchased from William Niemi, Jr., former president of Eddie Bauer, by champion freestyle skier Mike Lund. The attorney for the captain of the Helena Star provides an insider's unvarnished account of the case from the trenches. The freighter and the conspirators involved were in the news from its seizure in 1978 to its death by sinking in 2013. This drug bust and the ensuing events comprise a true saga about the inner workings of a Colombian-American drug cartel, smuggling on a massive scale, money laundering, the capture of fugitives in Bolivia, suspicious deaths, the lives of high-profile individuals, and courtroom battles in Seattle and San Francisco.

Download or read book Options for Restructuring the Safe and Drug Free Schools and Communities Act written by Peter Reuter and published by RAND Corporation. This book was released on 2001 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Critics of the Safe and Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act (SDFSCA) point to both structural and substantive failures to explain the program's ineffectiveness. Moves toward reauthorization in Congress create the opportunity to consider needed reforms. Reform options should target those students most in need, ensure effective implementation, promote evaluation, require accountability, improve program capacity, and constrain administrative costs. Chapter 1, "Introduction," reviews the societal and legislative trends culminating in passage of the SDFSCA. Chapter 2, "Assessment," critically examines the program, reviewing such weaknesses as stagnant budgets, poor distribution of funds, vague goals, and a lack of coordination with other programs. Recent changes and new guidelines have begun to improve program effectiveness. Chapter 3, "Changing the Program," offers criteria to use in evaluating proposed reforms and considers a recent Clinton-era reform effort. Chapter 4, "Conclusion and Recommendations," suggests that combining drug prevention and antiviolence efforts under one program should be reconsidered. Specific recommendations for reforms include changing the within-state allocation formula to better reflect district capacities, replacing formula with direct federal grants, and creating requirements for local and state efforts. Any effective reform will require that the federal government stimulate greater local capacity and authority. (Contains 18 references.) (TEJ)
