'Republicans are taking the War on Drugs to a whole new level. Republican Rep. Lamar Smith of Texas managed to get the House Judiciary Committee to pass his bill that would apply US law globally'.
'The new law would make it a federal crime to plan activities on foreign land that would violate the federal Controlled Substances Act (CSA) even if the activities are legal in that country. To put it simply, if you are an American citizen and you smoke marijuana in a country where it is legal, you would be arrested when you return. It gets worse, you could be arrested for even talking about smoking marijuana in a nation where it is legal'.
'The “Drug Trafficking Safe Harbor Elimination Act of 2011'.
