My friend Art Benevie had a column published in the News and Observer yesterday. I've spoken often with Art about the subject - the War on Drugs - and I always find his arguments compelling and powerful.

CHAPEL HILL - Last month San Francisco health officials met with groups that supported the idea of opening a "safe injection" center -- the first in the United States. It would be funded by the city and be limited to intravenous users of heroin, cocaine and other drugs. Addicts would bring their own drugs, receive clean needles and inject themselves under medical supervision instead of shooting up in the streets.
