Re: “Marijuana Legalization: What Everyone Should Know”
Pot has been de facto legal in Alaska since the mid 70's. Alaska has not fallen off the earth or had epidemics of the pot smoking maladies that prohibitionists claim will happen. I hope all 3 states legalize it.

Re: “Criticism of Rebecca Kaplan Is Misguided”
Ms Kaplan is a hero and has a bright future in politics. People are realizing that advocating prohibition is kind of like committing political suicide. Pot prohibition has been a scam from day one.

Re: “Update: Should Facebook Be Censoring Marijuana Law Reform Ads?”
That rule says nothing about prohibiting political advocacy. This is ridiculous. Face book didn't prohibit it. A person or persons working for face prohibited it to suit their personal political agenda. It is wrong, very very wrong and indicative of the the reefer madness and erosion of free speech that permeates some segments of our society. With all the other problems facebook is having they surely don't need this. I for one have never been a big face book fan. Now I like them even less.
