Marijuana Policy Project
The Marijuana Policy Project works to minimize the harm associated with marijuana -- both the consumption of marijuana, and the laws that are intended to prohibit such use. MPP believes that the greatest harm associated with marijuana is prison. To this end, MPP focuses on removing criminal penalties for marijuana use, with a particular emphasis on making marijuana medically available to seriously ill people who have the approval of their doctors.

How many joints can be rolled from 3 ounces of marijuana?
This is a serious debate in Nevada
Residents of the Western state will vote Tuesday on a state constitutional amendment to legalize adult possession of no more than 3 ounces of pot. It may have looked quixotic at the onset, but the Nevada campaign has flourished at the hands of a Texas political handler the chief legalization foe calls a "carpetbagger."

Police See Pot Growing Turning Into a Big Business
It wasn't just the size of the operation — some 6,000 plants on three separate plots within a 2-square-mile area — but that the people who worked there had built shacks where they slept and cooked, had lugged in workout equipment and built an elaborate, sophisticated irrigation and misting system to keep the plants growing and blossoming.

In a nutshell, sex sells in Taiwan
A young woman wearing little more than her underwear and lurid makeup sits in a glass booth waiting for customers. What's for sale here?
It's not her body. It's just betelnut, the mildly narcotic seed from the fruit of the betel pepper which trucker drivers and labourers use to help them stay awake.

Nevada's big gamble whether to legalize pot
Plan would allow possession of 3 ounces
Nevada, with a century-old tradition of minting money by sanctioning vice, now aims to be the first state in the country to legalize marijuana for recreational use. On election day, Silver State voters will decide on Question 9, which would amend the state constitution to allow possession of up to 3 ounces of marijuana by anyone over 21. The so-called "reeferendum" also must win a second general election two years from now to take effect on Jan. 1, 2005.

For the first time ever a federal appeals court has ruled that the government cannot revoke the prescription drug licenses of doctors who recommend marijuana to sick patients. The court also ruled Tuesday the Justice Department cannot investigate doctors for merely recommending marijuana. The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said that such investigation would interfere with the free-speech rights of doctors and patients.
