DrugSense is proud to announce that it has become the host of and now provides the web resources for MarijuanaNews.com at http://www.marijuananews.com/This important site, created and run by Richard Cowan, provides a great resource for marijuana news, issues and comment. We are delighted to be able to offer this support. 
With the above announcement in the DrugSense Weekly yesterday a close relationship between Richard Cowen's MarijuanaNews.Com and the news clipping service of The Media Awareness Project (MAP) of DrugSense begins. The Weekly is on-line at: http://www.drugsense.org/dsw/1999/ds99.n93.htmlMarijuanaNews contains news and analysis in topical sections including Business, Features, Important Cases, Hemp Analysis, Medical Cannabis, Go Dutch!, NORML News, "Drug" Testing, Uh Oh - Canada, Media Criticism, Cannabis Quotes, and others. Editor and Publisher Richard Cowen updates Marijuananews Is once a day, Sunday Through Friday. While the news clipping service of the MAP provides its clippings from media worldwide without comment, DrugSense provides comment and analysis in it's Weekly newsletter. Readers seeking more analysis and media criticism are encouraged to check out and bookmark MarijuanaNews.Plus MarijuanaNews frequently provides breaking stories before they reach the mainstream media and the clipping service of MAP. For example, on Thursday, 8 April, MarijuanaNews posted a press release "Illinois Bill Criminalizes Marijuana Information On The Internet -- NORML Executive Director calls the proposal one of the "dumbest" he’d ever heard." -- before MAP's newshawks could find stories on the bill. Those seeking information and ideas needed to write Letters to the Editor in response to newspaper and magazine articles and editorials may wish to check the comments of Richard Cowen at http://www.marijuananews.com/ While both timing and time may not make it easy to accomplish, we are encouraging MAP's editors and newshawks to provide a link to appropriate MarijuanaNews commentary with news items. Thus, when possible, you may see news clippings with links like this:See: Related commentary at: followed by a MarijuanaNews URL linked to specific comments related to the story.Richard LakeSenior EditorMAPnews, MAPnews-Digest and DrugNews-Digest email: rlake mapinc.org http://www.mapinc.org/drugnews/ 20,686 articles on-line!For subscription information see:http://www.MAPinc.org/lists/Quick sign up for DrugNews-Digest, Focus Alerts or Newsletter: http://www.DrugSense.org/hurry.htm
