Marijuana Law Reform Ad at Issue in ACLU v. Mineta (02/18/2004)
A marijuana law reform ad that the U.S. government blocked from being placed in the Washington, D.C., public transportation system. The ACLU filed a lawsuit over this censorship, and the ad eventually ran after the Department of Justice refused to take on the government's case - a near-unheard of position that speaks volumes about the government's unconstitutional stance.
