The Drug Policy Alliance is the nation’s leading organization working to end the war on drugs, with over 100,000 supporters and eight offices nationwide. They released this video about a year ago, so you may have already seen it. Either way, it’s worth watching again.

Tell Congress it is time for a new bottom line in U.S. drug policy, one that focuses on reducing the problems associated with both drugs and the war on drugs. Take action at drugpolicy.org.

A customs officer at the Tokyo airport recently went against company regulations and hid a package of 142 grams of marijuana in a random passenger’s luggage to test airport security. According to this article by the BBC News, the passenger unknowingly walked away with it when the “Sniffer dogs failed to detect the cannabis and the officer could not remember which bag he had put it in.”

If it weren’t for the fact that you can go to prison in Japan for even the smallest amounts of marijuana, I’d consider this a blessing.

Officials are asking that whoever finds the package contact them, but come on – If you found 5 ounces of weed in your bag when you got to your hotel, what would you do with it? I’m sure calling the police to tell them about it is the last thing that comes to mind.
