SAN FRANCISCO PROTEST OF DRUG CZAR WALTERS!
WALTERS CHALLENGED TO ATTEND TOWN HALL MEETING ON MEDICAL MARIJUANA TUESDAY!
‘Drug Czar’ John Walters, head of the Office of National Drug Control
Policy, is a hard-liner who believes we can arrest and spend our way out of
the drug problem. He has made comments that disparage treatment and
prevention strategies, and is known to strongly favor incarceration of
non-violent drug offenders and increased "source control" in Latin America.
He will be in San Francisco to promote the drug wars in Colombia and Mexico,
the attacks on medical marijuana patients, and to ‘synchronize federal and
state drug policy’. Walters names 3 critiques of federal drug policy: that
marijuana has medical value, that black men are imprisoned at a higher rate
than others, and that people are imprisoned for simple possession ’the
greatest urban myths of our time’.
We will be there to meet him to expose this myth making with a demonstration
and press conference of a coalition of those affected & critical by punitive
federal policies. The Reverend Cecil Williams intends to debate Walters
during his visit, and will join the demonstration and press conference
afterwards to report back. Glide has agreed to host the Town Hall Meeting
the next day at noon. Other notable speakers have been invited to debunk the
ONDCP myth making.
