Unreasonable "Drug War" Hijinks in King County

mini-bagge3.jpgSeattle's funniest cartoonist Pete Bagge has another great comic strip in the Anarchist Libertarian rag Reason Magazine, this time looking at the Seattle front of the so-called War on Drugs. The strip covers last December's King County Bar Association's conference that focused on why the government's addiction to drug prohibition is so funny, records some more choice quotes from the WTO's favorite former Seattle Police Chief Norm Stamper (whose position on said Drug War we've admired previously), and generally destroys any confidence Seattlest might have had in our government. News to us: Washington State has no supply limit for medical marijuana patients, but that minor detail apparently wasn't enough to stop a King County judge from sticking a medical marijuana user with a "grow charge" for allegedly growing more than the cops thought he needed. WTF!?
