Cops on the Hill: Stories from the week of May 6, 2022
Posted June 27th, 2022 by hiwayhowie
Double Time on Sunday??: Sunday afternoon I participated in a German podcast regarding full legalization, Oregon and decrim – and the status of USA drug laws and the forecast for this year. There were lots of Q & A, all in German, for the audience in Germany. Fun it was.
Honored to be asked: On Monday morning I had an hour + zoom chat with a Facebook, META, Twitter investigator, mostly about hallucinogens. Meta found me somehow and decided I am an expert in drugs and drug policy. His team learns from experts all over the globe, so it was truly an honor.
Bonus: I noticed about every 5 minutes he would say a word and the accent was not quite native USA…as we were wrapping up, I asked him what his first language was. German, he replied…we chatted auf Deutsch the last two minutes! Fun it was.
Spring Break — My better half and I are jumping the pond next week for a month of R & R in Old Europe. Six solid months in Washington, DC and the boy is in need of a break.
