Medical Marijuana Patients Will Ask Legislators to Support Safe Access |
|
Mar 10, 2010 - 12:43 PM - by User
|
Massachusetts: Tomorrow, Thursday, at 1:30 p.m. at the Grand Staircase at the State House, a group of medical marijuana patients and advocates will hold a press conference to ask state lawmakers to support a medical marijuana law in Massachusetts.
The state legislature’s Joint Committee on Pubic Health is currently considering bill that would make Massachusetts the 15th state in the nation to give seriously ill patients safe and legal access to medical marijuana.
History
In November 2008, 65% of Massachusetts voters decided to make adults’ possession of up to an ounce of marijuana punishable only by a $100 fine.
While this law has helped patients who find... [Read More]

Marijuana Policy Project Cries Foul Over United Nations Action |

The Marijuana Policy Project, the largest marijuana policy reform organization in the United States, has denounced efforts by the United Nations' International Narcotics Control Board to "meddle" in marijuana reform in the United States.
The INCB is currently meeting in Vienna, Austria.
The MPP says that in a recent report, the INCB said it was "deeply concerned" that this country's 14 state medical marijuana laws are sending the "wrong message to other countries."
Additionally, the INCB is "concerned over the ongoing discussion in several states on legalizing and taxing the recreational use of cannabis, which would be a serious contravention of the... [Read More]

The Hemp Industries Association (HIA) and Vote Hemp are excited to announce the 1st Annual Hemp History Week to be held May 17-23, 2010. As a national grassroots education campaign designed to renew strong support for hemp farming in the U.S., Hemp History Week will feature a letter writing campaign and events in cities and towns all over the country.
Organizers expect the campaign to collect at least 50,000 hand-signed postcards addressed to President Barack Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder asking them to end the ban on hemp farming and let farmers grow the versatile and profitable crop.

Lawyer Suggests Joe Hyer Entrapped |

Mar 10, 2010 - 12:18 PM - by User

WA - Olympia City Councilman Joe Hyer pleaded not guilty to three drug felonies Tuesday, and his attorney suggested in a court filing that "a trusted political mentor" of Hyer entrapped him into selling marijuana twice while the mentor was working as an undercover informant.
“Judge Pomeroy, I plead not guilty to all charges,” Hyer said during his arraignment Tuesday on two counts of unlawful delivery of a controlled substance and one count of possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver, each a class C felony.
Hyer, 37, was arrested at his Legion Way home last month by detectives with the Thurston County Narcotics Task Force, after a confidential informant... [Read More]

Fired For Using Medical Marijuana |

Mar 09, 2010 - 9:57 PM - by User

MI - New surveys are finding more and more people in favor of legalizing marijuana, with even some police officers saying it's just a matter of time.
In 1969 a Gallup poll found only twelve percent of people thought pot should be legal. A similar poll conducted in 2009 found that number jump to 44 percent.
In November of 2008, 67 percent of Michigan voters said marijuana should be legal for medical purposes and Michigan became the 14th state in the country to approve medical marijuana.
However, there's still been plenty of confusion about when, and where those approved to smoke marijuana can actually do so.
In Battle Creek, a cancer patient recently lost his job for... [Read More]

War On THC Comparable To War On Apples |
|
Mar 09, 2010 - 9:52 PM - by User

Prohibition of any kind doesn’t work, and that is because prohibition is a regulation of morality. It isn’t finding justice, saving money or even keeping people from hurting themselves. Prohibition is the censorship of morality and any government body cannot be successful in that pursuit. The Temperance Movement was a religious movement to drive out the evils of America. At the time that evil was alcohol — people weren’t just opposed to alcohol but also to apples — which were almost exclusively grown to make alcohol. People started taking axes to apple trees all over the country and a campaign was waged against the “devil’s fruit.” Luckily the war against apples was never taken as... [Read More]

Mackey Mushes Through Pain In Iditarod |

ANCHORAGE, Alaska -- Both knees are shot, injected with synthetic cartilage until he can have surgery next summer. His right arm is still healing from a major operation to fix a staph infection. He continues to deal with other side effects of cancer.
But Lance Mackey is gunning for his fourth consecutive win in the 1,100-mile Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race, which started Sunday in Willow, Alaska.
Paul Gebhardt of Kasilof moved into the lead Monday evening, becoming the first musher to leave the Rohn checkpoint, about 272 miles beyond Anchorage. By late Monday night, more than 20 mushers, including Mackey, had reached Rohn. Also at that checkpoint were previous four-time winners Jeff King and Martin... [Read More]

A Generational Moment for Drug Policy Reformers |

Mar 09, 2010 - 9:35 PM - by User

John Lennon’s voice is echoing somewhere over Texas tonight.
That’s because a moment has arrived — a very special moment, the likes of which drug policy reformers have not seen in a generation.
It all centers around a man named Henry Walter Wooten, a 54-year-old Texas resident who will likely be spending the rest of his life behind bars. That’s because a jury in Tyler sentenced him to 35 years in jail after he was caught in possession of just over a quarter pound of marijuana. The prosecutor in Smith County originally sought 99 years, due to the man’s prior felony convictions in the 80s and his proximity to a day care center, deep within one of the dreaded “drug...

Going Rogue: DEA Style |

CO - It takes a lot to get some of the state's most conservative lawmakers on board with a Democratic Congressman from the People's Republic of Boulder. But that's just what happened this week.
The unifying cause? None other than Colorado's hot button headline-grabbing medical marijuana debate. In coming together, however, rabble-rousers did so to draw awareness to a much more important cause: telling the federal government to butt out of our legislative process and local communities. On Monday, national media, including the New York Times, started taking note.
A brief history (in case you somehow missed it): in February, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency expressed its displeasure with Colorado's... [Read More]

Slowly, States Are Lessening Limits On Marijuana |
|
Mar 09, 2010 - 9:07 PM - by User

LOS ANGELES — James Gray once saw himself as a drug warrior, a former federal prosecutor and county judge who sent people to prison for dealing pot and other drug offenses. Gradually, though, he became convinced that the ban on marijuana was making it more accessible to young people, not less.
"I ask kids all the time, and they'll tell you it is easier to get marijuana than a six-pack of beer because that is controlled by the government," he said, noting that drug dealers don't ask for IDs or honor minimum age requirements.
So Gray — who spent two decades as a superior court judge in Orange County, Calif., and once ran for Congress as a Republican— switched sides in the... [Read More]

Local Hemp Advocate Petitions To Address Attorney General |

McCloud, Calif. - If you have a gripe with the justice system, what do you do? Well, if you are McCloud resident Paul Von Hartmann, you take your number and get in line to see State Attorney General Edmund Brown, Jr.
Hartmann has registered with the Public Inquiry Unit of the State Attorney General to, in his words, “present a written mandate of ‘essential civilian demand’ challenging the rightful jurisdiction of any court over natural resources that are both unique and essential.”
The “unique and essential” resource, in this case, is the hemp plant, which, he claims, has a multitude of benefical uses, ranging from a food source to a fuel source to a... [Read More]

REGINA — Pitching everything from medicinal marijuana in powdered form to mobile carwash machines, about a dozen Saskatchewan entrepreneurs paraded their wares before a production team for CBC's Dragon's Den reality TV show on Thursday.
The audition, held at Queensbury Centre at Evraz Place, was part of a tour of more than 40 cities across the country to find contestants for the show's sixth season.
"We've already seen some people that we're definitely going to book and invite to Toronto,'' said Lindsey Neely, an associate producer with CBC Television.

BC: The smell of sweet skunk and sounds of cannabis coughing were tell-tale clues for the location of the 11th-annual Victoria Cannabis Convention.
Many members of Victoria's cannabis community gathered this past Sunday, Feb. 28, in UVic's David Strong Building, to celebrate and educate people about marijuana's benefits.
The event was hosted by Hempology 101, a non-profit society that looks to educate the public on marijuana's medicinal, industrial, environmental and social benefits. The society gathered a who's-who of marijuana activists to speak on issues confronting the marijuana community, marijuana's history and new opportunities and products from this plant.

Real World Ramifications of Cannabis Legalization & Decriminalization |
|
Mar 09, 2010 - 2:09 PM - by User

Last week Rhode Island became the fifth state this legislative session to introduce legislation seeking to legalize and regulate the adult use, possession, production, and distribution of non-medical marijuana. Also last week lawmakers in the Hawaii Senate approved legislation seeking to ‘decriminalize’ (replace criminal penalties with civil fines) marijuana possession offenses — a policy reform that now exists in thirteen states.
Opponents of such liberalization proposals inevitably argue that any efforts toward decriminalizing or legalizing cannabis will adversely impact the public’s use of marijuana and/or young people’s attitudes toward it. Yet regional data gleaned from around the... [Read More]

Editorial: Listen To Voters On Medical Marijuana |
|
Mar 09, 2010 - 1:58 PM - by User
|
The Denver Post - Medical marijuana legislation pending in the state legislature could legitimize hundreds of dispensaries, and we don't think that honors the intent of voters who approved narrowly drawn access for sick people.
While state lawmakers may believe they have the authority to create a dispensary system for medical marijuana — that is, we think, a debatable legal question — we don't think they should. That is an issue voters ought to decide.
The dispensary system that has sprouted of its own accord in the last seven months looks to us like a backdoor effort to legalize marijuana. Voters demonstrated in 2006 that they did not support legalization when they overwhelmingly shot... [Read More]

CA - Eureka has unveiled its draft medical marijuana ordinance, meant to regulate the cultivation, possession and distribution of cannabis, and is asking residents to provide their input Tuesday night.
City Manager David Tyson said this meeting, which will be led by City Council members Jeff Leonard and Linda Atkins, allows the city to gather more input on the land use code ordinance that was modeled after the city of Arcata's.

Long Beach City Council to Vote on Marijuana Shop Rules |

CA - After months of debate and false starts, the City Council may finally give the green light to regulations for medical marijuana collectives.
The council on Tuesday will consider three new regulation options, parts of which are opposed by medical marijuana advocates who say the options would be too restrictive for them to properly serve their patients.
The council meets at 5 p.m. in City Hall, 333 W. Ocean Blvd. The meeting can be viewed live in Long Beach on Charter Communications Channel 3, Verizon FiOS channel 21, and online at the city's Web site.
In January, the council approved the creation of regulations that didn't include any requirements on where marijuana can be... [Read More]
