At Face The State, we consider Mason Tvert, executive director of Safer Alternatives For Enjoyable Recreation, a friend of freedom. Although we may not always agree on how freedom is defined, we respect his tireless energy. His recent attempt to condemn potential first lady Cindy McCain as a "drug dealer," however, is a step in the wrong direction.
Safer Alternative for Enjoyable Recreation (SAFER), a Denver-based organization advocating for the legalization of marijuana, is taking to its cause to the sky.
