Voters who hoped that Barack Obama's call for "change" would include revamping U.S. drug policy are finding themselves with reasons to be skeptical.
First there was Obama's flip-flop-flip-flop on the subject of decriminalizing marijuana. Speaking at Northwestern University in January 2004, Obama called America's so-called "war on drugs" an "utter failure," and recommended, "(W)e need to rethink and decriminalize our (nation's) marijuana laws." (Obama's candid remarks, though out of step politically, echo public sentiment. Nearly 3 out of 4 Americans endorsed the policy in a 2002 CNN/Time Magazine poll, and 12 state legislatures have already enacted versions of pot... [Read More]
Just about everyone is struggling these days with the cost of goods, the cost of fuel, the cost of food and the general cost of living.
We don't want to whine, of course, but the Journal, and every other newspaper in the country, is struggling mightily with the cost of newsprint.
Have you noticed that your newspaper -- whether it's the Salina Journal or the New York Times -- has gotten narrower over the decades? You're not imagining it. Newspapers all over the world are going to narrower and narrower widths to save money on newsprint, which is rising rapidly. Believe us, we feel it here at the Journal.

Marijuana may be something of a wonder drug — though perhaps not in the way you might think.
Researchers in Italy and Britain have found that the main active ingredient in marijuana — tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC — and related compounds show promise as antibacterial agents, particularly against microbial strains that are already resistant to several classes of drugs.
It has been known for decades that Cannabis sativa has antibacterial properties. Experiments in the 1950s tested various marijuana preparations against skin and other infections, but researchers at the time had little understanding of marijuana’s chemical makeup.
The current research, by Giovanni Appendino of the... [Read More]
A federal court jury has convicted a medical marijuana activist of illegally growing more than 24,000 pot plants that were clearly visible from a highway near his home in Lake County.
Federal prosecutors said Charles "Eddy" Lepp, 56, faces a mandatory sentence of at least 10 years in prison after the jury in San Francisco found him guilty Tuesday of conspiracy and cultivation with the intent to distribute marijuana. Sentencing is scheduled Dec. 1.
Lepp is a longtime medical marijuana advocate whose battles with the government over his prosecution won him a "freedom fighter" award from High Times Magazine.
He was arrested in 2004 after federal agents said they found... [Read More]
The founders of an Arizona church that deifies marijuana have pleaded guilty to two criminal charges and are now each facing up to 20 years in prison.
But Dan and Mary Quaintance, founders of the Church of Cognizance, remain confident that they will not end up behind bars. Although sentencing in federal court is set to take place within the next 75 days, the Quaintances are confident an appeal will keep them out of prison.
The couple on Aug. 18 pleaded guilty to two counts relating to their 2006 federal arrest — one count of conspiracy with intent to distribute 200 pounds or more of a mixture or substance containing a detectable amount of marijuana; and one count of possession with the intent... [Read More]
Prince George's County Sheriff Michael Jackson says an internal review has determined that deputies were justified when they shot and killed two dogs during a raid at the home of Berwyn Heights mayor Cheye Calvo.
Calvo, however, is not satisfied. He says the inquiry was incomplete. A Maryland Department of Agriculture veterinarian determined one dog was shot four times and the other twice, including once in the hind legs. Calvo says the findings are evidence that the officers weren't threatened and one dog was shot while fleeing.
Authorities raided Calvo's home July 29 after police intercepted a 32-pound package of marijuana addressed to Calvo's wife. Police later determined the couple were victims... [Read More]
We know she used marijuana when it was legal in Alaska. And we know that she hypocritically claims to oppose legalization. But Sarah Palin is also governor of a state that’s had a medical marijuana program for ten years. How does she feel about that?
Does Sarah Palin share John McCain’s open hostility towards seriously ill patients who use marijuana on the advice of their doctors?
Frankly, I highly doubt Palin agrees with this. It’s bad politics for her in Alaska and, for that matter, everywhere else as well. If pressed, she’ll be forced to take the party line, but that won’t go well for her. Palin can’t conveniently defend federal supremacy over state medical... [Read More]
The owner of a medicinal marijuana dispensary in Orange that was raided twice in five months by federal agents has decided to close his business.
Herb Papenfuss, attorney for Nature's Wellness Collective owner Bob Adams, said Adams is tired of fighting federal and local officials. Marijuana use for medicinal purposes is legal under state law, but federally, marijuana usage for any purpose is illegal and city officials have sided with federal law.
"Bob is going to close his tents and not open up again," Papenfuss said. "He was just ahead of his time."
The dispensary has remained closed since a July 30 raid by 14 armed Drug Enforcement Administration agents. Agents... [Read More]
