Cultural Baggage

01/14/25 Cliff Schaffer

Cliff Schaffer established the world's largest online library of research into the drug laws at http://www.druglibrary.org. The reason I established the site is simply because I had read some of the major research on our drug laws and I just became astounded at their stupidity. There is no other area in which the law is so completely out of touch with the available research.

The groups held a briefing January 13 to discuss the case and its implications.
