U.S. Rep. Earl Blumenauer Calls For Investigation of Anti-Drug Tour


Noelle New Headshot Fmt Headshot

Editor's Note: Good eye, Mr. Blumenaeur, good eye. While this investigation absolutely should happen, and taxpayer dollars should not be spent promoting the "No on 91" M.O./anti-marijuana-legalization initiative (nor the pro-marijuana M.O.), it seems to me these ads may well be a waste of money. As The Washington Post wrote in July in the article aptly titled, "The lonely lot of the anti-pot crusader": "The anti-marijuana movement has little funding or staff, little momentum and, it appears, little audience." WashPo was writing in the context of the vote in D.C., but it seems to apply nationwide. Perhaps the lack of funds is why the anti-pot "crusaders" might just be reaching into taxpayer's pockets.
