Although I'm no longer in Elmore County, I am family friends with the DA & have known him as long as I can remember.Whitmire: Alabama can’t kick its marijuana problem
But we can make sweet potatoes the state vegetable.www.al.com
Mississippi was one state that approved medical marijuana but now the state Supreme Court has thrown it out. But it seems to be more of a procedural issue of how the vote got on the ballot to begin with.Of nine drug decriminalization or legalization measures on state ballots last night—including two addressing hallucinogens and one covering all illegal drugs—not a single one failed. These were decisive victories, too, not close calls. And unlike some previous waves of pro-marijuana votes, which were concentrated in predictable areas, successful anti–drug war measures in 2020 spanned a diverse array of states.
Still a pretty awful look...Mississippi was one state that approved medical marijuana but now the state Supreme Court has thrown it out. But it seems to be more of a procedural issue of how the vote got on the ballot to begin with.
I agree and suspect they may have been looking for a reason to void it.Still a pretty awful look...
I wonder what benefits it would have in microdoses instead of the mood suppressors commonly used. The article is about 8 hr sessions, but it would be interesting to see the results of a prolonged microdoses.Ending this failed "war on drugs" will actually save and improve lives.

A psychiatrist explores how a drug often associated with Burning Man could be a breakthrough in treating PTSD.www.wired.com
It appears that in the study, as designed, microdosing was not as effective. It may be that prolonged use of small doses, especially combined with psychotherapy, may be effective or that those with milder PTSD may benefit from smaller doses over a prolonged period. Obviously, this type of study is in its infancy and more study is needed.I wonder what benefits it would have in microdoses instead of the mood suppressors commonly used.

Burning man? Hell it was at bluegrass festivals in Alabama in the early 2000s... burning man just gave it name recognition.
I am really close to becoming a libertarian on this...if you are over 18 and want to blow your brain out on drugs -- or alcohol -- then go right ahead. Just don't expect society to pay for your rehab or living expenses at any point. If you want freedom, then assume responsibility.Oregon's Pioneering Drug Decriminalization Experiment Is Now Facing The Hard Test
Oregon's bold move to decriminalize small amounts of all hard drugs and expand treatment is now meeting the reality of implementation as the treatment community is divided over the way forward.www.npr.org

I get it...and maybe decriminalization at some level will work...it may be that the entire nation needs to do this so the "worst" addicts will not descend on any one state like has been predicted there.It's a challenging time everywhere, @Padreruf . Fifty years of doubling down on stupid hasn't fixed the problem. Giving people convictions on their record that keep them from getting jobs hasn't helped. Putting them in prison only allowed them to learn how to be better and harder criminals. Nothing about this failed "war on drugs" has been a success but for oppressing the oppresses and enriching the rich while making the problem even worse.
It's not like we didn't already have a shortage of rehab facilities. We did hide the shortage by throwing people in jail. If OR will invest in the sector then hopefully some of these longstanding issues get resolved to some degree.
We generally don't throw alcoholics in jail unless they break another law like DWI, public drunkenness, or getting into a fight. We don't criminalize alcohol possession. We learned our lesson on that one and then failed to apply the lessons learned to battling drug addiction.
