This post is an apology to D'Alliance readers who deserve professional standards from staff working for the Drug Policy Alliance.

While I stand by my blogs of both 4/20 and 4/21 as earnest, honest, and sincere (though controversial), I found myself getting caught up in a lot of unproductive (and often personal) argumentation/attacks in some of the commentary.

I take full responsibility for my failure to conform to the level of professionalism that is expected of me. While I may fail in the future (I am human), I will continue to try and continue to maintain a deep, sincere, and heartfelt commitment to drug policy in general, to meeting the Drug Policy Alliance's professional standards, and most importantly to you, our blog readers.

The blog readers are not wrong in expecting better of me. I am wrong in not trying hard enough to conform to that. For that I extend my deepest apologies.
