NORML Versus ONDCP
Debate on The Hill blog has gotten spicy. Reformers v. Narcos – you decide who wins!

A few weeks ago, the folks at The Hill asked National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML) Executive Director Allen St. Pierre to post to its blog discussing why folks should support the federal pot decrim measure introduced by Reps. Barney Frank, D-Mass., and Texas' Ron Paul, R-Surfside.
What is amazing, says St. Pierre, is that, when asked by the editors to reply, the drug warriors at the ONDCP took to the blog with their response – growing the simple essay exercise into an almost-real-life debate between D.C.'s drug reformers and drug warriors. Imagine that!
You can read the war of the words here.
