Since your Oct. 2 column included the phrase, "but if you can put it a little more succinctly, I'll sign any petition you circulate my way," I thought you might be interested in the Drug Reform Coordination Network, which publishes a weekly newsletter on the Web (www.drcnet.org / ). For just one striking example of how brutally nutty things have gotten, consider item No. 9 in the Oct. 2 newsletter, "Imprisonment for Legal Cooking Herbs in Oklahoma." Regards - J.J. Staples
