Nowadays, drug policy seems to be all over the media all the time. I'd like recommendations of recent (or otherwise still topical) articles that have something new to say, or that offer a not-so-often-brought-up perspectives.

Okay, exceptionally good articles are also welcome even if they're a bit to the "more of the same" category.
 
I'm not sure if you're from America, UK, or wherever, but this one hits home with heroin users. It's not so much about the drug itself, but it's about the state giving them money and how people view addicts:

I'm sure there are more, I'm at work and can't read up right now. But start with that I'll post more later. What exactly are you looking for?

Don't need to name 'em all. Some that have made made an impact.

I do read quite a lot of drug news. It's just that there's so fucking many. All the time.

I'm looking for articles that are not too much country-specific. Mostly cause I translate stuff to two different blogs about the subject, but also because I'm generally interested on the topic, both on drugs in general, and how they are treated in the media.
 
Some particular topics that come to mind: Articles about drug dealers (ones that consider their point of view); articles about the post-prohibition world in practice. (Legalization - how exactly?)

And everything else.
 
I'm familiar with Transform and Morris. Haven't got to read the whole Blueprint book, but have dived into snippets here and there. Thanks for the miniblog link, that was new!
