Just a reminder to #JustSayNo on Q8 in Massachusetts.
What can we say other than, wow!
Over half a million views now and still counting for this public service announcement for ‘No On 8’ with comedy troupe Broken Lizard.
Still time to watch and get educated about what this all means. Just say know and Just Say No.

'The report finds that past-month marijuana use by high-school-aged youth in Massachusetts was 26% in 2015, the year before legalization. By 2025, that rate had dropped to 12%.' MA voters might re-prohibit weed, ugh. @michelleminton @HannaDersh reason.org/commentary/massac…

‘Colorado’s fentanyl crisis is real, but Prop 132 isn’t the solution’
By Judge Leonard Frieling (Fmr.)
“Justice depends on judges being able to weigh the individual facts of each case, as well as the circumstances and the person standing before them.”

[WATCH] - Massachusetts Question 8: Broken Lizard Says "Just Say No"
Do you know what’s on your ballot?
A “No” vote on Question 8 keeps the state’s legal, regulated system for adult-use in place.
A “Yes” vote would end legal adult-use sales and push that market back toward the illicit sector, where there are no product safety standards, no age checks, and also the potential for an increase in penalties once again.
The coalition who made this public service announcement and the Broken Lizard comedy troupe simply ask that you read the question carefully before you vote.

The '#WarOnDrugs' has failed…but at what?
As drug markets thrive, punitive #DrugPolicy helps justify the expansion of rights-curtailing police powers, surveillance & institutional arrangements that feed private profit.
We bring these conversations to #MozFest2026. Come say hi!

‘How unarmed 911 teams are reshaping public safety in nearly 100 cities’
“One way to measure success is to assess how many 911 calls a program is handling per capita, says Amos Irwin, who studies community response programs at the Law Enforcement Action Partnership (LEAP)”

“There are all kinds of calls that responders can handle that do not have mental health on the surface. They call and say, there's somebody panhandling really aggressively here. There is somebody loitering around my store, refusing to leave.” - Amos Irwin, Community Responder Program Director for LEAP.

‘Psychedelic crisis training coming to first responders across Colorado’
“Training seeks to equip police and emergency medical pros with harm reduction tools to reduce unnecessary arrests, hospitalizations”

“There is a tendency in the debate over kratom to reduce everything to two camps.
One side talks about addiction, adverse events, regulation and prohibition.
The other talks about personal freedom, natural products and government overreach. I understand those arguments. I’ve participated in them for years.”

The DEA has said the quiet part loudly…
We have seen a significant shift in attitudes and narratives. Law Enforcement Action Partnership has historically been a place where police voices can speak freely on dr*g policy and the many issues…
Now the DEA acknowledges on record that the majority of people can use cann*bis without significant dangers to themselves and others.

‘Americans Encounter Risks at Psychedelic Clinics Abroad’
As emerging evidence shows, psychedelic treatments are becoming effective and popular for complex mental health and PTSD. This paywalled article in NY Times casts an eye on the unregulated nature that currently exits.
At Law Enforcement Action Partnership we shall always highlight the need for regulation and to bring issues such as this to the forefront for the sake of public safety and effectiveness.

A look at Baltimore and the unregulated supply of substances and ‘street dr*gs’.
As the iron law of prohibition dictates, supplies become less safe and fluctuate in potency, which increases risks.

Home at last!
Good news stories such as this are heartening. But let’s never forget that situations like this should never have happened. Well done Last Prisoner Project for their continued work.
Welcome home, Kelly 💚
After nearly two years incarcerated in Georgia for a nonviolent cannabis charge, Kelly Barbieri and her husband, Daniel, are finally home. While inside, they endured the devastating loss of their eldest son. They were able to attend his memorial.
With support from this community, Kelly received reentry support and family assistance from Last Prisoner Project, along with letters that reminded her she wasn’t alone.
“Thank you so much for supporting us throughout this terrible ordeal… It made such a difference knowing I’d have reentry support, and the family grant for my son meant so much while I was incarcerated. The letters made such a difference. It’s so nice to hear your name during mail call… Georgia is very harsh on cannabis offenders, but the letters and prison newsletters helped keep my faith in humanity. I hope one day people won’t be put in cages for the plants they grow.”
Kelly, we’re so glad you’re home.
You can read about Kelly's story on our blog. Also, please consider donating to Last Prisoner Project so that we can continue to provide support for families like Kelly's.

Every life matters.
As the U.S. remembers the 70,000 people who lost their lives due to overdose last year, we also think of the families who now have an empty chair at the dinner table, the children who will have lost parents, and the many people who will have seen the streets due to addiction and homelessness. Addiction and overdose can touch us all. We need to move forward with potentially life-saving strategies and polices which can make a lasting difference.
Today is International Overdose Awareness Day, but let's not allow one day to mark this issue. Let's make every day count.
