As a child in northern New Jersey, Luz experienced domestic violence over a number of years. She never got to know her father, who, she says, was a casualty of the war on drugs. As an adult, she was barely aware of how these childhood experiences had shaped her, making it hard to trust people or initiate meaningful relationships.

The clock is running down for a fix to the drug possession law that was thrown out by the Washington State Supreme Court in February, stripping local law enforcement agencies of the ability to make arrests for that charge.
One bill in the state legislature appears to be emerging as a middle of the road, Goldilocks consensus proposal because it has something that may please everyone who has an interest in the law. But that could mean the legislation has too much in it for all sides to reach agreement. ....
