    Arresting the parents & placing their 3 children into protective custody is likely far more traumatic (to the kids) than the purported drug use of the parents. Today, the country celebrates a birthday. If only its authorities would grow-the-f**k-up.

    Very curious to know what thinks of how they handled this.

    Well - we sure have talked a lot about harm reduction in this thread. From every angle. The important thing is to stay focused on those who are really suffering as a consequence of prohibition and stay away from any small differences of opinion we all may have.

    Injustice always happens when anti-science moralists are in charge. We saw this when Biden fired 5 people for smoking weed in the past & we see it again today with the Olympics punishing Sha'carri. I'm tired of this 1940's shit. End the damn drug war!

    .: Exactly! I’ve been trying to get people to understand this very point. And if we are being logically consistent, other drugs should be included, too. Thank you for spreading the word, my brotha.

    How hard is it to not criminalize marijuana when your dream is having a country that’s about liberty, justice and the pursuit of happiness?

    Dear Sha’Carri, You’ve got nothing to be ashamed of. Who among us haven’t altered their consciousness? We all have. Watching you perform and your reaction to winning, makes me proud to be a member your species. Sincerely, From one grown-up to another

    This breaks my heart. To prevent an athlete from competing for merely taking marijuana is cruel. We have to grow up, and quickly. Too many people continue to be harmed by our heedless adolescent policies and actions.

    BREAKING: Sha’Carri Richardson has been suspended for one month after testing positive for marijuana. She says she used it in Oregon after finding out about the death of her biological mother from a reporter. Her participation in the 4X100-meter relay is unclear.

    I will literally lose it if Sha'Carri can't go to the Olympics for MARIJUANA The fact that you can be a full-blown alcoholic and nobody cares, but WEED is an issue is absolute insanity

    Great point, discusses this brilliantly in The intent behind is good, but doesn’t capture many who use drugs safely for pleasure! let’s talk!

    The term “harm reduction” ignores the fact that most people use drugs for pleasure.

    If you use in your practice to minimize risk and help protect lives of those we serve who use substances, it’s easy to get defensive about this statement. Breathe, read on, and have conversations that change policy & the current framework.
