US TX: Editorial: Mexican Violence Is a U.S. Problem
San Antonio Express-News, 03 Sep 2010 - Often times, the word "war" is employed as a metaphor to describe something less than a major armed struggle. There have been wars on poverty, wars on diseases, wars that aren't really wars on just about everything. But what's happening in Mexico right now is the real thing. As a Saturday front page headline in the Express-News put it, the drug war across the Rio Grande is just that - a war. Mexico's drug war has for some time resembled the violent conflicts of the Middle East, featuring tactics similar to those of terrorist groups. The cartels and their enforcers have carried out assassinations, beheaded adversaries, set off car bombs and engaged in seemingly random acts of violence.

US CO: Some Local Shops Link Spirituality, Marijuana
The Gazette, 04 Sep 2010 - It's been said that Moses smoked the burning bush, that the Book of Revelation was written in a drug-induced state, and that most religions began with mystical experiences enhanced by hallucinogens. These fringe ideas have found a place at some of the 176 medical marijuana dispensaries that have sprung up in Colorado Springs. But there are also a handful of dispensaries that use religious terminology and imagery while claiming no religious affiliation.

Duke of the Eastern District of Arkansas. An eighth officer has pleaded guilty.

US GA: OPED: Mexico Needs U.S. Help But Not Troops
Athens Banner-Herald, 31 Aug 2010 - The escalation of drug-related violence in Mexico - including the mass execution of 72 migrants last week - is moving a small but growing number of U.S. foreign policy hawks to call for a radical solution: send in the U.S. Army. I'm not kidding. At first, I thought it was a joke, or the kind of overreaction that is most often confined to the blogosphere.

US MO: Column: Mexico's Drug Problems Are Ours, And Vice Versa
Kansas City Star, 31 Aug 2010 - Two hundred years ago, Mexico's quest for independence from Spain was marked with a grisly spectacle. After death by firing squad, the head of rebellion leader Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla was hacked from his corpse and displayed for years on the corner of a public building. Spanish colonialists wanted to send a message to any Mexicans who had different ideas about who ought to rule their land. It didn't work. Ten years later, after much blood spilt, Mexico gained its independence from Spain.

US: Web: Legalize Marijuana to Stop Drug Cartels
Huffington Post, 26 Aug 2010 - There were 72 bodies found on a ranch ninety miles south of the Texas border -- obvious victims of a drug cartel massacre. Bullets have been hitting public buildings in El Paso, and the Washington Post is reporting that at least $20 billion a year in cash is being smuggled across the U. S. border each year. What is it going to take to convince the federal government that current drug policies are not working? The fact is that the current drug laws are contributing to an all-out war on our southern border -- all in the name of a modern-day prohibition that is no more logical or realistic than the one we abandoned 75 years ago. Mexican drug cartels make at least 60 percent of their revenue from selling marijuana in the United States, according to the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy. The FBI estimates that the cartels now control distribution in more than 230 American cities, from the Southwest to New England.

US: Asylum Denied
SF Weekly, 25 Aug 2010 - Only a fraction of Mexicans get U.S. asylum. As evening falls on southern Mexico, Sarah (not her real name) is shopping at a fruit market a block from her house. It is Friday, and her father, an investigator for the State Judicial Police, is home relaxing on his night off. Wearing blue jeans and an unbuttoned shirt, he is sweeping his front porch, waiting for his daughter to return and make dinner.

US WA: The Mystery of the Tainted Cocaine
The Stranger, 19 Aug 2010 - What's a drug used to deworm livestock-a drug that can obliterate your immune system-doing in your cocaine? Nobody knows. A granulocytosis can kill you, but its symptoms are frustratingly broad. Some people's throats close up. Some people get diarrhea. Some people get skin infections, sores in their mouth or anus, or just a fever. Some people have it, don't know it, and get better without seeing a doctor. Some people don't see a doctor until it's too late.

US CA: Smoking Mad Over Medical Pot In Marysville
Appeal-Democrat, 18 Aug 2010 - A vocal standing-room-only crowd at Marysville City Hall gave the public comment microphone a rare workout Tuesday night, as one by one, area residents supported a medical marijuana dispensary that has been operating in the city since late 2009. The comments varied from polite pleas that the city drop its lawsuit against Norcal Health and Wellness Collective and allow the facility to continue operating, to passionate accusations of corruption among law enforcement and the Marysville City Council.
