[EX Q]: "Petrocaribe will be strengthened -- independent of the international situation  independent of the price of oil " Venezuela President Hugo Chavez said as he arrived Friday in St. Kitts.
 His country's state Bolivarian News Agency said Petrocaribe leaders meet "with the expectation of its expansion  as well as new programs of cooperation and attention to a world increasingly thirsty for fuel."
 During the meeting  Chavez called the pact a geopolitical and social "offensive for unity " and said Venezuela is open to accepting other nations. "If some countries want to join  the doors are open " he said.
 The plan promotes Chavez's vision of regional independence from the United States  and the lure of cheap oil has drawn countries friendly to Washington as well as his leftist allies.

[EX Q]: Russian election officials on Monday formally barred  Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny  from running for president  prompting calls from  him  for a boycott of next year's vote.
 Navalny  is implicitly barred from running for office because of a conviction in a fraud case which has been viewed as political retribution.  He  could have run if  he  was given a special dispensation or if  his  conviction was cancelled.
 Incumbent Vladimir Putin  is set to easily win a fourth term in office in the March 18 election  with  his  approval ratings topping 80%.
 Putin  foe clears first step in bid for Russian presidency
Over the past year   Navalny  has mounted a grassroots campaign which reached out to the most remote corners of  Putin 's heartland.
 Navalny   41  is the most serious challenger that  Putin  has faced in all  his  years in power  and the court cases against  him  have been widely seen as a tool to keep  him  from running for office.
In a pre-recorded video message that was released minutes after the Election Commission handed down the decision  Navalny called on  his  supporters to boycott the vote.
"The procedure that we're invited to take part is not an election "  he  said. "Only Putin and the candidates  he  has hand-picked are taking part in it."
Central Election Commission chief Ella Pamfilova told  Navalny  ahead of its vote to bar him that "maybe we would be interested if you were running " but said the conviction doesn't allow the commission to put him on the ballot.
Speaking before the vote   Navalny  told the commission that  their  decision to bar him would be a vote "not against me  but against 16 000 people who have nominated me  against 200 000 volunteers who have been canvassing for me."
The involvement of Ksenia Sobchak  a 36-year-old star TV host  could raise public interest in the race. While Sobchak has denied colluding with the Kremlin  she could attract some of  Navalny 's supporters and help boost attendance.
Sobchak criticized  Navalny 's call for boycotting the vote  saying Monday that the "election is the only way to change something  and boycotting them is inefficient and harmful."

[EX Q]: âIt forced the office to take a policy position that it may or may not agree to â Michael Botticelli  the former director of the drug czarâs office  told HuffPost. â[It] hamstrings you into a policy position that might be the policy of the day but that might change.â
The statute also made answering questions about marijuana policy complicated. When  Botticelli  was a deputy within the office  Rep. Steve Cohen (D-Tenn.) introduced legislation to remove the by-then-controversial language on marijuana. The bill went nowhere.  Botticelli  struggled even to answer questions on the subject.
Operating within these political and legal constraints   Botticelli  and others adopted more nuanced approaches to their work. The office pushed to obtain more federal funding for treatment. It supported states that sought to route those addicted to illegal substances like opioids away from the criminal justice system and into treatment.  Botticelli  supported the Justice Departmentâs efforts to shed the more onerous drug war era initiatives such as requiring mandatory minimum sentences for even low-level drug possession.
Later in that interview   Botticelli  was asked about legalizing marijuana  not just decriminalizing penalties for its use.  He  said  he  was against statesâ commercializing the drug. âIt becomes an addiction to  unfortunately  a tax revenue thatâs often based on bad public health policy â  he  said.  His  predecessor had had similar reservations about outright legalizing marijuana.
 The closest Botticelli  came to addressing the decriminalization issue directly occurred when District of Columbia residents voted to ease restrictions on marijuana use. âI might not agree about legalization  but I do agree with our own ability to spend our own money the way that we want to â  he  said.
Neither  Botticelli  nor  his  office would go much further than that during the eight years of the Obama presidency. Had they done so  they would have incurred blowback from both parties in Congress and alienated drug prevention advocates who oppose marijuana use. More importantly  the controversy would likely have distracted from the more critical opioid epidemic. That crisis ended up driving home the argument for a public health approach to drug addiction.
