MPP Grades Bush’s War on Drugs: F
January 5th, 2009 by PerryDespite the administration’s claims that overall drug use is down more than 20 percent, the Marijuana Policy Project is not impressed. For continuing failed policies, the MPP gave the Bush administration an F on the report card.
Watch the video to see their justification.
MPP 2-Minute Truth About America’s Biggest Cash Crop
December 18th, 2008 by PerryFocusing just on the lost tax revenue, economists in this Marijuana Policy Project video estimate the government is missing out on roughly $10-14 billion. Additionally, marijuana prohibition is roughly calculated to cost $40 billion per year.
Any movement towards legalization would generate billions for the economy (not to mention new jobs), but it would also lessen the impact of jail over-crowding and enforcement costs.
Anyway, we all know the facts by now, this is another way to present the information to any skeptics out there in a bite-sized, focused video.
Marijuana Ads I Like

The good folks at the Marijuana Policy Project put together this great ad in response to some of the more ludicrous claims by the Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP).

MPP on 17 Year Olds Busted for MMJ
March 22nd, 2007 by AlexThere was a story that broke in San Diego a few weeks ago talking about how high school students were able to acquire medical marijuana licenses.
These students applied their new-found freedom by buying pot, getting blazed at school and then using the license as an excuse after being busted. Not that bright, I agree.
Well, Fox News decided to bring Aaron Houston, Director of Government Relations for the Marijuana Policy Project, onto the TV to explain the MPP’s position on all of this.
First things first, Aaron is not a doctor. Also, Aaron is not a school administrator. These are two facts he makes extremely clear as the video progresses.
I think that Aaron was trying to get a good message across, but fell a little short with his overall television persona feeling somewhat contrived.
