Sound Bites from "The War on Drugs" | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
NOTE: A large collection of Drug War Sound bites is being archived and
will soon be available at our resources web page at | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||
What The Prohibitionists Say - And Some Suggested Responses | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Sound bite # 1) By continuing the "War on Drugs" we're protecting our
children. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Then why, after 30 years of failure and hundreds of billions of wasted dollars, can virtually every child in America buy illegal drugs at will? | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Sound bite # 2) Reforming drug laws will send a dangerous message to our
children. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
What message are we sending to an inner city child that sees drug deals on
his way to school every day? The worst message we can send to children is
lying to them thereby undermining our credibility and the drug war is based
on fabrications, inaccuracies and outright falsehoods. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Sound bite # 3) Marijuana is a dangerous drug and should be defined as a
schedule one (most dangerous) drug. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
More people die from aspirin overdose and being struck by lightening
than die from marijuana use. All drugs carry some danger, but according
to DEA's own administrative law judge Francis Young after conducting a
2 year intensive study of marijuana concluded that, "Marijuana is the
safest therapeutically active substance known to man." | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Sound bite # 4) Reforming drug laws will mean a huge increase in drug
abusers. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
For the first 130 years of the existence of the United States there
were no laws whatever regarding drugs or drug use and the per capita
usage was lower than it is today by orders of magnitude. Youthful drug
use was virtually unheard of only 50 years ago. How has the "War on
Drugs" improved anything? | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Sound bite # 5) All Drug users are drug abusers | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
The vast majority of drug users (more than 90%) use drugs
recreationally or medicinally and suffer no long term debilitating side
effects. Less than 10% develop chronic problems as a result of drug use
and much less than that if you factor out the worst and most
debilitating drug of abuse, alcohol. Fifty times more people die from
automobile accidents than from drug overdose. Should we prohibit
driving? | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||
WEEKLY NEWS IN REVIEW (Top) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Domestic News- Policy | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
COMMENT: (1-2) (Top) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
In a propaganda move calculated to bolster McCzar's European junket (see International), ONDCP released some very questionable claims on the relative success of American versus European drug enforcement. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
However, an article from Las Vegas suggested that there's little
difference when it comes to heroin; the glut here is accompanied- as
it is everywhere- by record numbers of overdoses. So much for
"success." | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) ILLEGAL DRUG USE DOWN IN U.S., UP IN EUROPE (Top) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Illegal drug use is falling in the United States but rising sharply in
Europe, U.S. officials say. The amount of drugs seized in Europe more
than doubled this year as South American traffickers targeted the
continent. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Barry McCaffrey, President Clinton's chief drug policy adviser, is
holding a series of drug summits across Europe next week to address the
problem. He is also pushing for a drug-free Olympics. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
[snip] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Comparable statistics are not available for most of Europe, ... Ross
Deck of McCaffrey's office, who has been meeting with European
officials tracking drug use, said there is ample evidence that drug use
is increasing across Europe although countries are only beginning to
compile statistics. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

(2) HEROIN DEATHS SOAR (Top) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Drug Now Part of LV Mainstream | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Nothing came between Steve and his one true love. Four wives didn't. Jail and prison didn't. Neither did death, disease or destitution. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
[snip] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Clark County Medical Examiner's Office has seen a steady increase in the number of opium-related deaths since 1995 when 26 people overdosed. In 1996 the number was 46 and in 1997 it was 54. Last year 90 people died from overdoses. Seventy-eight have died this year. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
The recent deaths of two high-profile Las Vegans illustrate how the
powerful drug has permeated all levels of society. Wealthy gaming
figure Ted Binion had heroin in his system when he was killed last year
and Las Vegas Review-Journal editorial writer and columnist Rafael
Tammariello died of an overdose of opiates this summer. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
[snip] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||
COMMENT: (3-4) (Top) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Candidate Bush's position on drug issues remained in the news; amazingly, the authors of a book charging he had been arrested for cocaine possession in '72 turned out to both be jailbirds themselves. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
In another area, the Texas governor had a puzzling response to
questions about medical cannabis while in Seattle. Though his
intentions are unclear, it's a position to give any drug czar fits- as
Chuck Thomas was eager to point out. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
(3) PUBLISHER RECALLS BUSH BIOGRAPHY OVER AUTHOR'S RECORD (Top) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
AUSTIN - As copies flew off the shelves, a publisher scrambled Friday to recall a biography of Gov. George W. Bush after the author turned out to be a felon who hired a hit man in a 1987 car bombing. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
"We have enough information from our own investigation to make the
decision that the book must be pulled," said a statement by Sally
Richardson, president and publisher of St. Martin's Press trade
division. "We strongly believe it would be irresponsible to continue to
keep the book in the marketplace." | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
[snip] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
The co-author of Mr. Hatfield's earlier published books is also a paroled felon, a fellow inmate from Mr. Hatfield's days in an East Texas prison who was convicted of attempted murder in 1988. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Mr. Hatfield, who is on parole in Arkansas until 2003, could not be
reached for comment. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
[snip] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||
(4) BUSH BACKS STATES' RIGHTS ON MARIJUANA (Top) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
He Opposes Medical Use But Favors Local Control | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
WASHINGTON - Gov. George Bush said he backs a state's right to decide
whether to allow medical use of marijuana, a position that puts him
sharply at odds with Republicans on Capitol Hill. "I believe each state
can choose that decision as they so choose," the governor said recently
in Seattle in response to a reporter's question. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Chuck Thomas, spokesman for the Marijuana Policy Project, a medical
marijuana lobbying group, praised Mr. Bush as "courageous" and
"consistent on states' rights. I would hope he would be an example for
Republicans in Congress." | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
[snip] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||
COMMENT: (5-6) (Top) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Johnson of NM, is the other Southwestern Governor in the limelight for
his position on illegal drugs; although receiving considerable
semi-hysterical criticism at home, he continued to garner national
understanding. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
(5) N.M. LAW ENFORCEMENT 'DRUG' INTO JOHNSON MESS (Top) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
New Mexico Gov. Gary Johnson's decision to make a mockery of the
nation's drug laws has produced at least one unfortunate consequence:
It has damaged severely his relationship with the state's law
enforcement community. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Imagine that. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
About two dozen chiefs of police and county sheriffs gathered recently
in Albuquerque to formally declare their opposition to Johnson's
assertion that the nation ought to "decriminalize" the use of drugs,
including heroin. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
[snip] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||
(6) MAKING LEGALIZATION OF DRUGS A NATIONAL ISSUE (Top) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Gary Johnson used marijuana and cocaine in his younger days. Now
Johnson, 46, shuns illegal drugs, alcohol, cigarettes, Coca-Cola-- even
candy bars. Not that unusual a transformation for a man who came of age
in 1960s America. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
[snip] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
In taking his controversial positions, he has moved the debate over
national drug policy--a debate that largely has been confined to
academics and think tanks--into the political arena. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
And Johnson has said he intends to use his position to advance the
issue nationally. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
[snip] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||
COMMENT: (7-8) (Top) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
An interesting testing juxtaposition: politically powerless high
school students are forced to undergo random drug testing because they
have been decreed to be role models. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
In contrast, the random cannabis testing of actual NBA role models ran
into trouble; this issue won't go away easily.* | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
* NBA's Grass is Greener | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
(7) OSCEOLA HIGH WANTS RANDOM DRUG TESTS FOR ITS ATHLETES (Top) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Osceola County high schools may become the first in Central Florida to test athletes randomly for drugs if officials agree on a three-part plan one school has developed to make players more responsible. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
The proposal by Osceola High School would require about 10 percent of
male and female athletes to be tested annually for illegal drugs in
each sport. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
"They're the most noticed, and they're looked upon as leaders," said
Osceola High principal Chuck Paradiso. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
[snip] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||
(8) CONFIDENTIALITY BREACHED IN NBA DRUG TESTING (Top) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
The National Basketball Association briefly suspended its new
drug-testing program last week, after union leaders complained that
confidentiality had been breached during the first three weeks of the
program. Leaders of the players association said that a core provision
of the drug-testing effort had been violated, and the entire program
called into question, because a reporter had learned that about a
half-dozen players tested positive for marijuana early this month,
during the first week of tests. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
[snip] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||
COMMENT: (9) (Top) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
In a move that must have warmed Gerald Solomon's cold heart, the feds announced further life-long punishments for 'drug offenses.' | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
(9) NO LOANS FOR STUDENT DRUG OFFENDERS (Top) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
WASHINGTON (AP) Students convicted of drug offenses will be barred from
receiving federal college tuition aid for one year and, in some cases,
permanently under rules taking effect next summer. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
[snip] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Law Enforcement & Prisons | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
COMMENT: (10-11) (Top) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
The LAPD scandal continues to grow, amazing experts in Southern
California, but attracting little attention elsewhere; even within LA,
the scandal's essential connection to the drug war receives no
recognition. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
A cogent editorial from the savvy Orange County Register pointed out how (among other things) marijuana incarcerations within the state have jumped up since passage of 215. Is there a message here? | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
(10) LAPD CORRUPTION PROBE GROWS TO 7 SHOOTINGS, NEW ALLEGATIONS (Top) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||
The corruption probe into the Los Angeles Police Department's Rampart
station is significantly larger than police officials have publicly
acknowledged, with investigators examining at least seven "questionable
shootings." | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Moreover, investigators believe that a sergeant with the station's
anti-gang unit instructed officers under his command to plant guns on
unarmed suspects. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
[snip] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
The officers also kept an apartment near the station where they had
sexual liaisons with the prostitutes, Hoffman said. Sources told The
Times that some Rampart officers went to the apartment while they were
on duty to have sex with their girlfriends. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
[snip] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||
(11) DRUG WAR BANKRUPTCY (Top) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
If violent crime is down significantly, as last week's reports suggest, why are our prisons filling up? One broad answer is the drug war, and less-heralded statistics also released last week paint an alarming picture of who is being arrested, imprisoned, how often and why. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Let's start with marijuana. ... | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
[snip] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Interestingly, the number of prisoners held on marijuana charges in California (all for sales or cultivation, since simple possession is a misdemeanor in California) has increased by 12 percent since the passage of California's medical marijuana law in 1996. ... | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
[snip] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||
COMMENT: (12) (Top) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Seemingly, no case is too trivial, nor any injustice too mean-spirited for a prosecutor imbued with enough drug war righteousness: | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
(12) A FUGITIVE SINCE 1971 IS TRACKED DOWN IN CANADA (Top) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
ROCHESTER, N.Y. (AP) In 1971, a 19-year-old college student by the name
of Christopher Perlstein drew a four-year prison sentence for selling
$20 worth of drugs to an undercover policeman. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Fearing an imminent transfer to Attica prison where a deadly prison riot had just ended, Perlstein walked away from a state work camp in central New York on Sept. 28, 1971, and escaped to Canada. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Twenty-eight years later, authorities have tracked him down and are
seeking his extradition. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
[snip] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Cannabis & Hemp- | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
COMMENT: (13-15) (Top) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Boston Globe reported on Peter McWilliams, a case which exposes
the feds' implacable opposition to medical cannabis as convincingly as
any. Sick people be damned, we must protect high school students
against the ravages of demon pot! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Nor are the feds the only ones persecuting patients; the events reported from Ventura County are typical of many areas in California. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
The patently absurd and glaringly illegal federal campaign against
hemp earned a derisive comment from the Orange County Register, but
predictably, the DEA will be undeterred. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
(13) US PROSECUTES CANCER PATIENT OVER MARIJUANA (Top) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
By now, vomiting is second nature to Peter McWilliams. He has no shame
about it. Sometimes he even sees the humor in it. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
McWilliams, 50, still laughs about the time he leaned over a trash can at a political convention, lost his lunch in front of strangers, then casually wiped his mouth with a cocktail napkin before continuing the conversation. The other day, at his home high in the Hollywood Hills, he simply shrugged when he returned from retching in the bathroom. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
''You get used to vomiting,'' he said. ''You get used to anything, I suppose. But it's insane that anyone has to go through this.'' | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
[snip] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
''The way that I characterize this case is that it involves a
conspiracy to conduct a commercial marijuana-growing operation
involving more than 6,000 plants at four separate growing sites,'' said
Thom Mrozek, spokesman for the US Attorney's Office in Los Angeles,
which is handling the case. ''It doesn't matter where they were going
to sell it. It doesn't matter if they say, `I'm doing this to save my
life.' It's illegal to manufacture or cultivate marijuana under federal
law.'' | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||
(14) PAIR FACING DRUG CHARGES CLAIM MEDICINAL NEED (Top) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
After three surgeries, Camarillo resident Lisa Schwarz suffers chronic
back pain that she says prescription drugs cannot ease. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
[snip] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
In July, the couple were arrested on suspicion of drug sales, after
narcotics agents raided their Dewayne Avenue house and confiscated 68
pot plants. They each face two felony charges of possessing and
cultivating marijuana for sale. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
[snip] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||
(15) BIRD BRAINS (Top) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Has the drug war finally entered the realm of the surreal - or at least surreal enough to provoke more serious questions among serious people? | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration a few days ago seized a
tractor trailer load of sterilized Canadian hemp seed on its way to a
large U.S. company that has been blending hemp seed into its birdseed
- openly and perfectly legally -for decades. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

| ||||||||||||||||||||||||
International News | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
COMMENT: (16-20) (Top) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
In a demonstration of the hypocrisy enabled by American drug policy,
the weeks international items can all be linked: | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Pakistan, which is to heroin what Colombia is to cocaine, was
officially praised on drug issues, never mind its nuclear weapons nor
the recent military coup. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Colombia, in contrast, will receive US weapons and "aid" to fight a
war its civilian population clearly doesn't want. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
A report from Britain emphasized the strengthening US-UK drug warrior
connection: it seems that the US has not been the only one assisting
the Colombian military. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Thankfully, British youth are less accepting of our WOD than their
American counterparts. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
(16) PAKISTAN: US TO CONTINUE HELP IN ANTI-NARCOTICS ACTIVITIES (Top) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
ISLAMABAD, Oct 19: U.S. Ambassador to Pakistan William B. Milam on
Tuesday assured that his country would continue to support Pakistani
efforts to increase awareness of the drug abuse problem and reduce
demand for illegal narcotics. He made these remarks at the conclusion
of finals of the All Pakistan Declamation Contest on, "Narcotics and
the Future of Youth in Pakistan." | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

| ||||||||||||||||||||||||
(17) THE U.S. WAR ON DRUGS AND COLOMBIA'S CONFLICT (Top) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
While public attention focuses on Kosovo, Iraq and East Timor, another war is going on in our hemisphere, in Colombia. The United States is providing funds supposedly intended for fighting the drug war, but which to a large extent fuel a bloody internal political conflict. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

(18) MILLIONS MARCH FOR PEACE AS TALKS BEGIN IN COLOMBIA (Top) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
BOGOTA, Colombia -- Millions of Colombians marched Sunday in hundreds of cities and villages, chanting, "No more, we want peace!" to demand an end to their country's prolonged conflict and to abuses of civilians. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

| ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||
(19) SAS SECRETLY HELPS BOGOTA FIGHT REBELS (Top) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Members of the SAS are secretly helping Colombia fight the war against
drugs. "The SAS have given us great help in recent times," said General
Jose Serrano, commander of the paramilitary police force. "We are very
grateful to the British government for this." | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

(20) US ANTI-DRUG CHIEF IS MET WITH SHOUTS OF 'NAZI' (Top) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
The controversial American anti-drugs chief, Gen Barry McCaffrey, was
hounded by protesters in London yesterday on the first day of a visit
to share ideas on fighting illegal drug use in society. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
Gen McCaffrey, a proponent of hardline solutions to illegal drug use,
including jail and a rejection of government-funded services for
addicts, was chased out of Goldsmiths College and barracked by
demonstrators. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

MAP news editor Van, Doc Hawk, has set up a small site specifically to feature a Life magazine article of 30 years ago this week. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
This is the thirtieth anniversary of the LIFE magazine publication. The articles are still timely...only the numbers and persecution factor have changed. The links page is not finished yet, but is under way now. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

"The Lord's Prayer is 66 words, the Gettysburg Address is 286 words,
