* Thomas F. Kresina, Alain Litwin, Ira Marion, Robert Lubran, and H. Westley Clark on the regulation of opiate maintenance;

* Jonathan P. Caulkins and Ryan Menefee on how risk perception influences drug policies.

    Those all sound like interesting topics that I’d enjoy reading a few paragraphs about on a blog, but probably won’t read an article in an academic journal. So I hope you’ll consider blogging about them at some point.

    Try the journal. These are all well-written essays, not collections of correlation coefficients, and they’re not much longer than a long RBC post.
