Stop the drug-info ban!
Media awareness is increasing - the time for action is now!
By Dana Larsen of Cannabis Culture Magazine
The US "Drug-Info Ban" bill, officially called the
Methamphetamine Anti-Proliferation Act, has finally begun receiving some attention in the mainstream media.
The following articles and editorials all cover the censorship aspects of the bill, and the more recent ones also discuss the "secret search" provisions. All of these articles are opposed to the legislation, and warn against the unconstitutional free-speech and civil rights restrictions it contains.
Most of these articles were published very recently, and this marks a dramatic change in media coverage. Typically, this attention comes when the bill is about to be voted upon, rather than earlier on in the process when it would have been more useful.
Nevertheless, this media awareness gives us an opportunity to draw even more attention to the proposed legislation, and provides some hope that public pressure will postpone or stop the bill, or that its harsh provisions will be amended.
Please read these articles, and send these newspapers a quick email supporting their coverage of this unconstitutional legislation, and encouraging them to give this bill more attention.
