Washington Post: "Phelps may be an involuntary hero to this charge (marijuana decriminalization), but his name and face bring necessary attention to a farce in which nearly half the nation are actors. It's time to recognize that all drugs are not equal -- and change the laws accordingly"

“The War on Drugs is unconstitutional. Our lawmakers 90 years ago knew it was unconstitutional to ban a substance outright, which is why alcohol prohibition required a constitutional amendment.”

"Let's also be honest about something: young people are not stealing. They are sharing, like those who once made VCR recordings of TV shows for friends (a court-approved practice the industry originally opposed)."

Republicans have absolutely lost their minds: "Obama stimulus package a 'War on Prayer'"

Houston school administrators outraged that zero-tolerance drug policies apply to them, as well. Whoops.
