If you haven't seen it yet, WATCH the "House I Live in" on PBS, Independent Lens, on Monday, April 8 at 10 pm. It includes Neill Franklin, Julie Stewart and David Simon. I think it is the best documentary about the war on drugs!

National Black Police Association endorses marijuana legalization
At their annual meeting in Sacramento, CA on Aug. 19, the National Black Police Association endorsed Proposition 19 and the legalization of marijuana.
This is particularly significant because these cops have historically had to struggle to be taken seriously by their peers in the station house. This action by an organization that represents tens of thousands of active duty police officers is an important step toward establishing marijuana legalization as a legitimate position in the law enforcement community.
LEAP's new Executive Director Neill Franklin, a former patrol officer in Baltimore, Maryland, played a key role in speaking to the NBPA membership.
