Dear Mark,

Pot smokers in the United States stand to lose more than their freedom if they get caught by police. They also face the loss of their driver's licences under federal legislation that ties state highway funding to tough drug enforcement.
"Most people only find out about the law when they watch their licence disappear," says Allen St. Pierre, executive director of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML), a pro-legalization group.

Uncle Sam's one-armed bandits
| Depressed, lonely, and thousands of miles away from her family in Arizona, Air Force Technical Sgt. Gloria Calhoun was looking for solace. She found it in the mesmerizing whir of the slot machines scattered around Osan Air Base in South Korea, her overseas post in 1998. "Anytime I wasn't at work, I was gambling," says Calhoun.
