Prohibition is ending. One can feel it in the air. The elections in Colorado and Washington show that "the cork is starting to move." In the metaphor from the ending of our earlier Prohibition of alcohol, the champagne bottle's cork is slowly but steadily getting ready to pop. Soon we will be looking back at our current policies with the same level of disbelief, as we do with the witch hunts of the Middle Ages.<br />
This breath of fresh air, so long in coming, gives hope that our society can rise above the desire for scapegoats, the need for politicians who pander to our most hateful instincts, and our urge to use force and violence against those we disagree with -- for that is what we authorize when we make something a matter of criminal law. Richard Nixon's "War on Drugs," which began as a thinly-veiled assault on political adversaries, has now resulted in over 30,000,000 arrests for marijuana, over 40,000,000 arrests if you include all "controlled substances." At any given time, as many black men are -- largely for marijuana -- under the control of the Criminal Justice Industry -- prison, parole, and probation -- as were slaves at the time of the Civil War.<br />
<br />
Our federal government is in the same position vis-a-vis the states as it was with the Fugitive Slave Act. Colorado, Washington, and the 18 medical marijuana states are in direct confrontation with the Feds over fundamental principles of Liberty.<br />
<br />
How repressive will the Feds be in this? What is Mr. Obama planning to do? His record last year was terrible, an acquiescence in policies designed to create enormous human misery. But he is faced with a unique opportunity to change his ways. It's a new day, and the leadership role on this issue is sitting there, open for his use.<br />
<br />
The most hopeful thing he could do, would be to expend some political capital, and work with Congress to bring a complete end to Prohibition. Short of that however, there is one thing he can do today with a stroke of his pen. Mr. Obama can issue pardons to those in federal prison, and to those previously convicted whose lives have been so negatively impacted by their criminal record.<br />
<br />
It is true that his clemency powers cover only the federal system, while many of this War's victims suffer at the state level. Here too though, his leadership can be effective, setting an example for governors, encouraging them to follow the right path. On January 1st, 1863, President Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation. January 1st, this year, marked the sesquicentennial. What finer tribute, and show of decency could there be, than to act now?<br />
<br />
Free the drug prisoners, Mr. President.<br />

<i>Both federal law and Oregon state law on medical marijuana should be clarified.</i><br />
<br />
September 24, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Medical marijuana is legal in Oregon -- or at least it's supposed to be. After all, the Oregon Medical Marijuana Act permits marijuana to be grown, possessed and used for medical purposes.<br />
Why, then, did prosecutors in Washington County bring charges against the owner of a marijuana dispensary who was, essentially, just doing her job? In August 2011, Kathleen O'Shea Cambron pleaded guilty to two counts of delivery of marijuana and received a sentence of three years on probation.<br />
This article will examine the issue of <a href="http://www.rkslawyers.com/Drug-Crimes/Marijuana.shtml" target="_blank">medical marijuana in Oregon</a>. The issues to be discussed will include not only the state law regarding dispensaries, but also the question of federal enforcement of laws prohibiting the cultivation and distribution of marijuana.<br />
Oregon Medical Marijuana Act<br />
The Oregon Medical Marijuana Act has been in place for over a decade. Voters originally passed it by ballot measure in 1998. It allows for the cultivation, possession and use of marijuana for medical purposes. People who participate in the program must have a prescription from a physician and obtain a card from the state.<br />
Over 40,000 patients are in the <a href="http://public.health.oregon.gov/DiseasesConditions/ChronicDisease/medicalmarijuanaprogram/Pages/index.aspx" target="_blank">Oregon Medical Marijuana Program</a>. In practice, however, medical marijuana is difficult to obtain for many people, even for those who have valid cards.<br />
Although someone can grow his or her own medical marijuana, there is no reliable supply system. If you don't grow it yourself, you have to hope that another cardholder will donate some to a licensed caregiver.<br />
In November 2010, Oregon voters defeated Measure 74, which would have allowed the state to set up dispensaries for medical marijuana. Debate about the proposal got bogged down in over-heated rhetoric about the supposed prospect of criminal gang involvement in dispensaries.<br />
Even with this defeat, however, it's important to remember that medical marijuana remains legal in Oregon. Including Oregon, the number of states where it is legal stands at 16, plus the District of Columbia.<br />
Medical Marijuana and Federal Law<br />
Federal law still officially prohibits cultivation and distribution of marijuana. But many informed commentators and legislators believe that the federal prohibition of marijuana has been a colossal mistake.<br />
Prohibition of marijuana has diverted law enforcement resources away from serious public safety challenges -- all in the name of cracking down on a substance that substantial segments of the American public do not consider harmful. "One toke over the line," went the song lyric from the early 70s. By almost any measure, federal policy in pursuit of that toke has been over the top.<br />
That over-the-top, rigid policy was evident during the George W. Bush administration, when medical marijuana dispensaries were at risk of raids and <a href="http://www.rkslawyers.com/Federal-Drug-Offenses/Marijuana-Offenses.shtml" target="_blank">federal drug charges</a>. The Obama administration initially seemed ready to change course and restrict federal marijuana enforcement to large-scale traffickers. More recently, however, federal authorities have signaled the possibility of a renewed federal crackdown on medical marijuana dispensaries and "cannabis clubs."<br />
There is also a bill in Congress sponsored by Rep. Barney Frank and Rep. Ron Paul that would end the federal marijuana prohibition entirely. Such are the mixed messages that marijuana continues to elicit among policymakers and the public.<br />
The Washington County Dispensary Case<br />
Kathleen O'Shea Cambron is a 44-year-old woman who operated a business in Washington County that she described as a "cannabis exchange." It was called the Wake 'n Bake Cannabis Lounge.<br />
The business charged a membership fee of $20 to medical marijuana cardholders. It also sold small quantities of legally grown marijuana, in sizes of up to one ounce.<br />
Cambron's motives in starting the business grew out of her own experience as a medical marijuana cardholder who found it difficult to obtain the drug. Her doctor had prescribed medical marijuana to provide relief from the intense, often debilitating pain she suffered after an ATV accident.<br />
Cambron consulted with attorneys before launching the business about how to stay within the law. She thought she was doing the right thing in trying to help other patients. Indeed, that is just what she told the judge at her sentencing. "I believed I was doing the right thing," she said.<br />
The judge sentenced Cambron to three years of probation. She also is no longer allowed to participate in the Oregon Medical Marijuana Program.<br />
Law Needs to be Clarified<br />
Both federal and state laws on medical marijuana need to be clarified. At the federal level, the questions should include whether the old prohibition policy should even continue. Federal efforts could, instead, focus on controlling marijuana movement over U.S. borders or between states with differing marijuana laws.<br />
In Oregon, the ambivalence in state policy over medical marijuana should give way to recognition of the practical realities of creating a legitimate, reliable supply source for medical cardholders. As things stand, cardholders who don't grow their own supply often have difficulty obtaining medical marijuana.<br />
It doesn't take a Ph.D. in economics to see why this is the case. Although cardholders can conceivably get medical marijuana from an authorized grower, there aren't enough growers to keep up with the demand. And there aren't enough growers because they can only be reimbursed for the cost of growing the product -- not actually paid for it.<br />
In the meantime, if you have questions or concerns about the legality of medical marijuana, contact a knowledgeable criminal defense lawyer.<br />

<br />
Dear Folks,</div><div class="msg-body inner undoreset"><div id="yiv1044496911"><div id="yiv1044496911ygrp-mlmsg"><div id="yiv1044496911ygrp-msg"><div id="yiv1044496911ygrp-text"><br />
Here is a letter I got from Rep Smizik in the (MA) State Legislature. (Trimmed for conciseness). Sounds like pressure is warranted on Sanchez especially, and Fargo as well.<br />
<br />
As I have said before, if we can pass this bill through the legislature, it will avoid the necessity of running a Ballot Question next year, and thus freeing up a large amount of Movement donations, which can be better spent on legalization efforts in other states. Keep those letters to your Reps and Senators going out!<br />
<br />
Terry<br />
<br />
*****************************<br />
<br />
Thank you for your support of my bill to establish a medical marijuana program here in Massachsuetts. I have met with dozens of patients whom this bill will help that have encouraged and inspired me to make this bill one of my top priorities this legislative session.<br />
<br />
That said, we still have a long way to go and much work to do. Despite the enormous public support (about 81%), the politics of the issue continue to remain an obstacle. It is very important that those in support reach out to Chairman Jeffrey Sanchez and Chairwoman Susan Fargo on the Joint Committee on Public Health to encourage them to report the bill favorably out of their committee. <br />
<br />
If you have any specific questions or concerns regarding the bill, please feel free to contact my Staff Director, Amanda Rositano at <a href="mailto:amanda.rositano%40mahouse.gov" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">amanda.rositano@mahouse.gov</a>.<br />
<br />
Please know I will be doing all I can to move this bill to a vote.<br />
<br />
Best Wishes,<br />
<br />
Frank I. Smizik<br />

New research shows that a combination of THC, CBD, and temozolomide (TMZ) "remarkably reduces the growth of glioma." The study revealed tumor growth is inhibited in part through "the stimulation of autophagy-mediated apoptosis," the biologic degradation of cells that leads to them dying off. The Spanish researchers conclude that "the combined administration of TMZ and cannabinoids could be therapeutically exploited for the management of GBM." <br />
<br />
<em>Torres S, et al. 2011. A combined preclinical therapy of cannabinoids and temozolomide against glioma. Mol Cancer Ther. 2011 Jan;10(1):90-103.</em> <br />
<br />
<strong>Oral Cancer.</strong> Medical researchers at the University of California report cannabinoids alleviate oral cancer pain and slow the spread of the disease both in vitro and in vivo. They also identified CB1 and CB2 cannabinoid receptors in human oral cancer cells. They suggest the endocannabinoid system may play "a direct role" in pain and proliferation. Noting proliferation of cancer cells was "significantly attenuated in a dose-dependent manner" by cannabinoids, they conclude "the systemic administration" of cannabinoids "may reduce morbidity and mortality of oral cancer." <br />

<br />
<strong>Gastric Cancer.</strong> Previous studies have shown cannabinoids significantly decrease the spread of gastric cancer tumors and kill off malignant cells. South Korean researchers have recently discovered some of the biologic mechanisms for those tumor-fighting properties. The new research on cellular mediators indicates cannabinoids play a role in halting cell cycles that cause the cancer to spread. <br />

<h3 style="text-align: center;"><a href="" name="18"></a>Cannabinoids Help MS Symptoms, Progression</h3>Italian researchers used an animal model of multiple sclerosis to investigate the efficacy of cannabis extracts on motor symptoms. They found that treating with a THC-rich extract over time "resulted in a significant reduction of neurological deficits," that treatment with CBD affected only the relapse phase, and that combined THC-CBD treatment was ineffective. They suggest further investigation on each cannabinoid's action but conclude that cannabis extracts have potential for managing MS. <br />
<br />
Another Italian research team reviewed studies on cannabinoid receptors in the lower urinary tract and their role in controlling urinary tract function, including the treatment of bladder dysfunction resulting from MS, finding that systemic cannabinoids may be clinically useful. <br />
British scientists reviewing the clinical data on treating MS with cannabinoids note patient reports of symptomatic relief are confirmed by data showing cannabinoids improve muscle stiffness and spasms, neuropathic pain, and sleep and bladder disturbance. They note new evidence suggests that cannabinoids may affect "fundamental processes" in the progression of MS. They suggest "cannabinoids may have a longer term role in reducing disability and progression in MS." <br />

Scientists who examined brain samples of deceased MS patients for CB1 and CB2 receptors, as well as an enzyme related to the synthesis of endocannabinoids, found differences in receptor concentration that correlated to MS damage. Their findings support animal studies that suggest the endocannabinoid system has a role in MS progression and cellular response to injuries from the disease. <br />

Two new studies suggest that inhibiting the natural enzymes that break down endogenous cannabinoids may produce similar effects. Using a mouse model of obsessive compulsive behavior, they were able to show that increasing the natural cannabinoids by blocking the chemicals that degrade them decreased the behavior similar to THC but without the side effect of depressed motor activity. Similarly, Brazilian researchers published a review of the role of endocannabinoids in anxiety, noting that enhancement of endogenous cannabinoids avoids the dosage sensitivity to plant and synthetic cannabinoids such as THC, which frequently reduces anxiety in low doses but can trigger it in larger ones. <br />

<h3 style="text-align: center;"><a href="" name="20"></a>Cannabinoids May Regulate Diabetes</h3>Many people with diabetes turn to cannabis to treat their neuropathic pain. But recent research reveals that the endocannabinoid system is implicated in the regulation of insulin production and blood glucose. The majority of studies indicate that endocannabinoids in the pancreas decrease insulin secretion, but other studies have shown the opposite. As a Johns Hopkins researcher notes, "the exact nature of the effects of endocannabinoids on insulin secretion require rigorous study examining both acute and long-term effects at physiologically relevant doses employing both whole animal and clinically relevant models such as human islets in vitro and explanted in vivo, in rodent models of diabetes." What is clear is that the regulatory role of endocannabinoids in many of the body's most complex physiologic systems suggests a target for cannabinoid-based therapies. <br />

Using a rat model, they discovered CB1 cannabinoid receptors throughout the abnormal growths that characterize endometriosis. Blocking those CB1 receptors increased pain sensitivity, while stimulating them reduced it. They conclude that the endocannabinoid system plays a role in the development of the abnormal growths and pain associated with endometriosis, suggesting cannabinoids may provide "badly-needed new treatments."<br />

<h3 style="text-align: center;"><a href="" name="22"></a>Cannabinoid Analgesic Action Studied</h3>While the ability of cannabis and cannabinoids to control chronic pain is well known and amply demonstrated by a variety of historical, anecdotal, and clinical reports, the effect of different dosages, individual cannabinoids, and the mechanisms of action on different types of pain are still being investigated.<br />
A review by German researchers notes that while "an increasing number of randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled studies have shown the efficacy of cannabinoids" for treating chronic pain and painful spasticity, cannabinoids have not shown "convincing reduction of acute pain." Because patients who have problems adapting to stress and for whom other pain treatments have failed are the most likely to be helped by treatment with cannabinoids, they suggest exploring different modes of administration and new types of "endocannbinoid modulators."<br />

The pain-control mechanisms for two non-psychoactive cannabinoids -- cannabidiol (CBD) and cannabichromene (CBC) -- have been demonstrated in an animal study conducted by Italian researchers. By monitoring the electrical activity of neurons in the brainstem, they found that both acted in a dose-dependent manner on the activity of proteins involved in a key pain pathway, though twice as much CBC as CBD was necessary to achieve maximum pain relief. Treating with CBC and CBD was also found to elevate endocannabinoid levels. The researchers conclude that "these compounds might represent useful therapeutic agents with multiple mechanisms of action."<br />

The anti-emetic properties of cannabis is one of its more well-established therapeutic uses, and is also one of the primary indications for prescribing marinol, the synthetic THC pill. A team of Canadian scientists using an animal study have now located an area of the brainstem that may be responsible for the effect. They also demonstrated that not just THC but CBD, the second most prevalent cannabinoid in the plant, has powerful anti-nausea effects within a limited dose range. </div>MassachusettsMarijuanaMovementJournalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04749625728957320218noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-699084442876463179.post-3100860618968264592011-08-15T06:17:00.000-07:002011-08-15T06:17:23.153-07:00BMW Betting on Electric Lounge Car With Hemp Floor to Hold Off VW’s Audi<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <br />
<div class="clearfix" id="story_head"><h1> By Chris Reiter - <span class="datestamp">Jul 29, 2011 8:38 AM ET </span></h1><div id="story_meta"><cite class="byline"> </cite> </div></div><div class="story_inline assets clearfix "> <div class="clearfix" id="story_tools_top_container"> <ul class="story_tools clearfix" id="story_tools_top"><li class="twitter "> <a class="web_ticker" href="http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/quote?ticker=BMW:GR" title="Get Quote">Bayerische Motoren Werke AG (BMW)</a> will give a new electric-powered city car a lounge feel with bench seats, naturally tanned “mocha brown” leather and hemp fibers in the floor covering to hold off <a class="web_ticker" href="http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/quote?ticker=VOW:GR" title="Get Quote">Volkswagen AG (VOW)</a>’s Audi. </li>
</ul></div></div>BMW for the first time showed concept versions of the i3 electric city car and the i8 hybrid supercar, which Chief Executive Officer <a href="http://topics.bloomberg.com/norbert-reithofer/">Norbert Reithofer</a> said will cost more than 100,000 euros ($143,000), in <a href="http://topics.bloomberg.com/frankfurt/">Frankfurt</a> today. The models, developed from scratch, will anchor BMW’s new “i” sub-brand. <br />
“The majority of current electric vehicles are so-called conversions of traditional vehicles but conversions are always compromises,” development chief Klaus Draeger said. “We wanted to bring e-mobility to the streets without compromise.” <br />
BMW is betting that the 530 million euros investment to set up production of the vehicles will pay off in the race with Audi, which overtook <a class="web_ticker" href="http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/quote?ticker=DAI:GR" title="Get Quote">Daimler AG (DAI)</a>’s Mercedes-Benz this year and has vowed to topple the Munich-based carmaker as the luxury-car leader by 2015. Initial volumes for the models could be in the “tens of thousands,” with the potential to grow rapidly depending on market and regulatory developments, sales chief <a href="http://topics.bloomberg.com/ian-robertson/">Ian Robertson</a> told Bloomberg TV. <br />
“If the project is successful, it will give BMW an edge in innovation, which is a key attribute for premium car manufacturers,” said <a href="http://topics.bloomberg.com/ferdinand-dudenhoeffer/">Ferdinand Dudenhoeffer</a>, director of the Center for Automotive Research at the University of Duisberg- Essen. “It would be a difficult situation for Audi.” <br />
<h2>Carbon Fiber </h2>Both of BMW’s electric cars are built around a carbon-fiber frame and an aluminum underbody to lower weight and consequently reduce battery costs. Investments for the project include a new carbon-fiber factory in the U.S. and a 400 million-euro expansion of its factory in Leipzig, <a href="http://topics.bloomberg.com/germany/">Germany</a>. The i3 will go on sale in 2013, followed by the i8 in 2014. <br />
The four-person city car, which has a range of about 150 kilometers (93 miles), features narrower tires to reduce road friction and a faster charging system that can reload the battery to 80 percent capacity in an hour. That compares with more than seven hours for standard electric-vehicle chargers. The front and rear doors also open away from each other. <br />
The i8 plug-in hybrid combines an electric motor with a three-cylinder gasoline engine to accelerate to 100 kilometers per hour in 4.6 seconds, while getting more than 78 miles per gallon. It has a top speed of 250 kilometers per hour and can drive for up to 35 kilometers just on the energy stored in its lithium-ion power packs. Both cars have oversized windows on the doors. <br />
<h2>Audi Offerings </h2>Audi’s first electric-powered vehicle, the R8 e-tron sports car, will come to market at the end of next year as a limited production model, spokesman Armin Goetz said. Audi will test about 20 electric-drive A1 compacts in Munich later this year and is preparing for a similar project with the A3 in <a href="http://topics.bloomberg.com/shanghai/">Shanghai</a>. <br />
Audi aims to roll out its first serial production plug-in hybrid at the end of 2013 or in early 2014, Goetz said. <br />
BMW plans to offer versions with an on-board generator to extend the range and is considering other variants, sales chief Robertson said. The company will look to sell the vehicles using a mobile sales force and the Internet in addition to conventional dealers. The cars will be “relatively expensive” because of the large amount of technology in them, he said. <br />
<h2>Sub-Brand Risks </h2>BMW created the separate sub-brand, which will bear a BMW emblem with a blue ring around it, to market electric vehicles. The approach is in contrast to Audi and Mercedes-Benz, which plans to integrate electric vehicles into their overall lineups. The risk for BMW is the main brand’s image of fuel-burning models could suffer by pushing the sub-brand too much, said Christoph Stuermer, a Frankfurt-based IHS Automotive analyst. <br />
“With a sub-brand, BMW risks creating a floating island around the mainstream products, but they’re not going to make money on that technology unless they bring it into the mainstream products,” Stuermer said. “The challenge will be to spread that technology, while maintaining the integrity of the core brand.” <br />
BMW will use some of the technology in the electric cars in other models and the electric offerings will “support” BMW’s target to generate a return on sales of 8 percent to 10 percent, Chief Financial Officer Friedrich Eichiner said today. <br />

Source: Nutiva via Bloomberg </div></div></div></div>In August 1999, the U.S. Customs Service -- acting on a Drug Enforcement Administration order -- seized a Canadian hemp-food exporter’s truck with 20 tons of hemp seeds entering <a href="http://topics.bloomberg.com/detroit/">Detroit</a> from Ontario. The nongerminating seeds, en route to U.S. natural food businesses, have always been legal to import, though illegal to grow without a DEA permit since the Controlled Substances Act of 1970. In addition to the truck seizure, the agency, which declines to comment on its then unprecedented move, ordered the exporter’s American customers to fork over previous orders of seed and other hemp-food products. <br />
The demand put Sebastopol (Calif.) hemp-food retailer <a href="http://nutiva.com/" rel="external" title="Open Web Site">Nutiva</a> in a tough spot. Founder John Roulac had launched the business earlier that month, investing $30,000 in two tons of seed and other hemp-food products with the goal of turning the legal, nonpyschoactive plant often confused with its illegal twin brother, marijuana, into a mainstream food product. <br />
Confident the seizure was bogus, Roulac, a buoyant serial entrepreneur and bestselling author of such manuals as “Backyard Composting,” refused to capitulate. Instead of handing his hemp to the DEA, he helped launch a public relations campaign with all 200 members of the trade group <a href="http://www.thehia.org/" rel="external" title="Open Web Site">Hemp Industries Assn.</a> to turn popular opinion against the DEA’s move. <br />
<h2>BAN IT, PERMIT IT, REPEAT </h2>Over the next month, they tapped friends and customers to call the customs officers’ desk line and persuaded Pulitzer-winning newspaper columnist Jack Anderson to pen a syndicated <a href="http://www.naihc.org/policies/280-deas-assault-on-birdseed" rel="external" title="Open Web Site">piece</a> lambasting the DEA. The move didn’t cost Roulac a dime. By the fall of 1999, newspapers in the U.S. and <a href="http://topics.bloomberg.com/canada/">Canada</a> quoted an unnamed DEA officer saying the agency would permit hemp exports into the States. In March 2000, the U.S. Justice Dept. issued a statement essentially saying the DEA couldn’t stop hemp-food imports. <br />
Despite the statement, frustration reigned among hemp sellers and buyers for the next two years as the DEA’s stance on importing hemp switched six times, from banning it to permitting it and back again. Then, a few weeks after 9/11, the DEA published a rule that banned hemp-food imports and sales. Nutiva and 10 HIA members sued the DEA and won two consecutive cases -- the final one in early 2004. “I think the court recognized the law was clear, and there was no risk to public health or safety involved here,” says Joe Sandler, the trade group’s lawyer. <br />
Roulac’s company gained traction shortly thereafter, reaching $2.7 million in revenue in 2005. At the time, it was one of roughly six companies in the U.S. selling hemp seed, protein powders, shakes, and energy bars to food stores and individuals. (Roulac, seeking to diversify, was also exploring other natural products, such as coconut oil and chia, a protein-rich Latin American seed.) Nutiva got another boost in 2008 when <a href="http://rsfsocialfinance.org/" rel="external" title="Open Web Site">RSF Social Finance,</a> a foundation in <a href="http://topics.bloomberg.com/san-francisco/">San Francisco</a> that supports social entrepreneurs, began to extend credit lines worth $1.2 million, which Roulac used to increase inventory and, last year, move into a new warehouse six times larger than its previous space. Ted Levinson, a senior lending manager at RSF, says Roulac’s track record in increasing mainstream consumer awareness about natural food products impressed him. “John has a habit of being on the very early end of these things … and ultimately capturing the attention of millions of people,” Levinson says. <br />
<h2>FOUNDING FATHERS GREW IT </h2>The American hemp-food market is growing quickly, according to natural food market analyst <a href="http://www.spins.com/" rel="external" title="Open Web Site">SPINS,</a> which pegged it at around $40 million in 2010 (not including sales at Whole Foods), up 10 percent from 2009, and reports that Nutiva leads its 26 U.S. competitors in hemp oil and seed sales. Errol Schweizer, Whole Foods’ global senior grocery coordinator, says hemp is “one of the fastest-growing [natural food] trends.” Nutiva had $12 million in revenue in 2010, Roulac says, and he projects $24 million this year for the 25-employee company. “You don’t have to be mainstream to do well,” says Harry Balzer, chief food analyst at market research firm NPD Group, adding that shoppers will have to view hemp as more than a novelty for the ingredient to gain significance in the $1 trillion U.S. food and drink market. <br />
American presidents <a href="http://topics.bloomberg.com/george-washington/">George Washington</a> and <a href="http://topics.bloomberg.com/thomas-jefferson/">Thomas Jefferson</a> grew hemp, and Virginia required all landowners to do the same. During World War II, the federal government spent more than $1 million to subsidize hemp farming in <a href="http://topics.bloomberg.com/illinois/">Illinois</a>, <a href="http://topics.bloomberg.com/indiana/">Indiana</a>, <a href="http://topics.bloomberg.com/iowa/">Iowa</a>, <a href="http://topics.bloomberg.com/kentucky/">Kentucky</a>, <a href="http://topics.bloomberg.com/minnesota/">Minnesota</a>, and <a href="http://topics.bloomberg.com/wisconsin/">Wisconsin</a> to produce fibers for rope and uniforms. In 1943, some 146,000 acres were harvested, according to hemp historian John Dvorak. No farmers in the U.S. grow hemp commercially today -- the last was in Wisconsin in 1957. “I don’t know if the stigma will ever go away with hemp; if people will ever understand it’s not a THC product,” says Anna Soref, editor-in-chief of trade publication Natural Foods Merchandiser. <br />
That’s one reason Roulac is glad he diversified into coconut and chia. Coconut oil now drives 60 percent of Nutiva’s sales, and Roulac recently bought more than 200 tons of chia seed. Still, hemp is Roulac’s first love, and despite lower profit margins and a tough supply chain, he has no plans to forsake it. <br />
Neither, it seems, do policymakers. In mid-February, <a href="http://topics.bloomberg.com/california/">California</a>’s Mark Leno, a Democratic state senator, introduced a bill that would once again allow commercial hemp farming -- a bill he plans to have on the governor’s desk by the end of August. “I have not yet spoken to the governor, but I am hopeful that he would understand the benefits California would experience allowing our farmers to grow industrial hemp,” Leno says. “It’s a safe, viable crop.” Roulac looks forward to when he can source hemp domestically and take advantage of lower production and transportation costs. Of course, that likely means more competition for Nutiva. “Bring it on,” he says with characteristic enthusiasm. <br />

(c) Operating procedures consistent with department rules for oversight, including cultivation and storage of marijuana only in enclosed, locked facilities.<br />
2. None of the principal officers or board members has served as a principal officer or board member for a medical marijuana treatment center that has had its registration certificate revoked.<br />
(C) In the first year after the effective date, the Department shall issue registrations for up to thirty-five non-profit medical marijuana treatment centers, provided that at least one treatment center shall be located in each county, and not more than five shall be located in any one county. In the event the Department determines in a future year that the number of treatment centers is insufficient to meet patient needs, the Department shall have the power to increase or modify the number of registered treatment centers.<br />
(D) A medical treatment center registered under this section, and its dispensary agents registered under Section 10, shall not be penalized or arrested under Massachusetts law for acquiring, possessing, cultivating, processing, transferring, transporting, selling, distributing, and dispensing marijuana, products containing marijuana, and related supplies and educational materials, to qualifying patients or their personal caregivers.<br />
Section 10. Registration of medical treatment center dispensary agents.<br />
(A) A dispensary agent shall be registered with the Department before volunteering or working at a medical marijuana treatment center.<br />
(B) A treatment center must apply to the Department for a registration card for each affiliated dispensary agent by submitting the name, address and date of birth of the agent.<br />
(C) A registered nonprofit medical marijuana treatment center shall notify the department within one business day if a dispensary agent ceases to be associated with the center, and the agent’s registration card shall be immediately revoked.<br />
(D) No one shall be a dispensary agent who has been convicted of a felony drug offense. The Department is authorized to conduct criminal record checks with the Department of Criminal Justice Information to enforce this provision.<br />
Section 11. Hardship Cultivation Registrations.<br />
The Department shall issue a cultivation registration to a qualifying patient whose access to a medical treatment center is limited by verified financial hardship, a physical incapacity to access reasonable transportation, or the lack of a treatment center within a reasonable distance of the patient’s residence. The Department may deny a registration based on the provision of false information by the applicant. Such registration shall allow the patient or the patient’s personal caregiver to cultivate a limited number of plants, sufficient to maintain a 60-day supply of marijuana, and shall require cultivation and storage only in an enclosed, locked facility.<br />
The department shall issue regulations consistent with this section within 120 days of the effective date of this law. Until the department issues such final regulations, the written recommendation of a qualifying patient’s physician shall constitute a limited cultivation registration.<br />
Section 12. Medical marijuana registration cards for qualifying patients and designated caregivers.<br />
(A) A qualifying patient may apply to the department for a medical marijuana registration card by submitting:<br />
1. Written certification from a physician.<br />
2. An application, including:<br />
(a) Name, address unless homeless, and date of birth.<br />
(b) Name, address and date of birth of the qualifying patient's personal caregiver, if any.<br />
Section 13. Department implementation of Regulations and Fees.<br />
Within 120 days of the effective date of this law, the department shall issue regulations for the implementation of Sections 9 through 12 of this Law. The department shall set application fees for non-profit medical marijuana treatment centers so as to defray the administrative costs of the medical marijuana program and thereby make this law revenue neutral.<br />
Until the approval of final regulations, written certification by a physician shall constitute a registration card for a qualifying patient. Until the approval of final regulations, a certified mail return receipt showing compliance with Section 12 (A) (2) (b) above by a qualifying patient, and a photocopy of the application, shall constitute a registration card for that patient’s personal caregiver.<br />
Section 14. Penalties for Fraudulent Acts.<br />
(A) The department, after a hearing, may revoke any registration card issued under this law for a willful violation of this law. The standard of proof for revocation shall be a preponderance of the evidence. A revocation decision shall be reviewable in the Superior Court.<br />
(B) The fraudulent use of a medical marijuana registration card or cultivation registration shall be a misdemeanor punishable by up to 6 months in the house of correction, or a fine up to $500, but if such fraudulent use is for the distribution, sale, or trafficking of marijuana for non-medical use for profit it shall be a felony punishable by up to 5 years in state prison or up to two and one half years in the house of correction.<br />
Section 15. Confidentiality<br />
The department shall maintain a confidential list of the persons issued medical marijuana registration cards. Individual names and other identifying information on the list shall be exempt from the provisions of Massachusetts Public Records Law, M.G.L. Chapter 66, section 10, and not subject to disclosure, except to employees of the department in the course of their official duties and to Massachusetts law enforcement officials when verifying a card holder’s registration.<br />
Section 16. Effective Date.<br />
This law shall be effective January 1, 2013.<br />

We, the Undersigned registered voters of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, having read the full text of the foregoing proposed law, do fully subscribe to its content and agree to be among the original signers of the Petition.<br />

<div id="bylineArea"><span class="bold">By Kyle Cheney and Matt Murphy</span> / State House News Service | Thursday, July 21, 2011 | <a href="http://bostonherald.com/">http://www.bostonherald.com</a> | <a href="http://bostonherald.com/news/politics/">Local Politics</a> </div><span class="articleBegin">A</span>dvocates for legislation sanctioning medical marijuana for chronically ill Massachusetts residents are eyeing a 2012 ballot drive to get the long-stalled bill across the finish line, should their efforts in the Legislature fail to gain traction.<br />
“Our goal is the Legislature, but there is a possibility they won’t act before May of 2012,” said Whitney Taylor, field director at the American Civil Liberties Union, which supports the bill.<br />
Taylor, who helped lead the successful 2008 ballot drive to decriminalize possession of up to one ounce of marijuana, said backers of medical marijuana intend to file the 10 signatures required to begin the process of placing a petition on the 2012 ballot. Those signatures are due by Aug. 3.<br />
“What’s the hurt in moving forward and having all avenues available to us?” Taylor said. “Regardless of what happens, we now have options.”<br />
Legislation to establish a regulatory framework for medical marijuana, filed by Rep. Frank Smizik (D-Brookline) and Senate President Pro Tempore Stanley Rosenberg (D-Amherst) is awaiting action in the Committee on Public Health.<br />
Advocates have expressed hope that the committee would endorse their proposal, which they argue would help chronically ill patients relieve pain through marijuana, a natural substance, rather than through powerful pain medication. The bill, supporters say, contains safeguards to prevent abuse.<br />
Critics have warned that because marijuana has long been classified federally as an illegal substance, Massachusetts residents could be subject to federal prosecution should Massachusetts pass the proposal and the Obama administration or a future administration crack down. Opponents also worry that a state law that sanctions the distribution of marijuana through medical dispensaries would lead to an uptick in illegal activity.<br />
Smizik said his focus would remain on passing his bill through the Legislature, declining to speculate whether the threat of a ballot drive would help push the issue to a vote.<br />
“There have been times when a ballot question strengthens your efforts and times when it doesn’t help at all, so that’s a hard question. I think they’re doing it because the polls show 80 percent of people support it,” Smizik said.<br />
A Suffolk University poll of 500 registered Massachusetts voters taken in September 2009 found that 81 percent of voters supported allowing seriously or terminally ill patients to use marijuana if approved by a doctor, while just 17 percent opposed. The poll showed 2 percent of voters undecided.<br />
“Personally I think marijuana is safer than Oxycontin. That’s a gateway drug manufactured by pharmaceutical companies. We’re just focused on making sure patients have an alternative,” Smizik said.<br />
Taylor said the combination of Rosenberg and Smizik’s work in the Legislature gave supporters that sense that the legislation has “some steam behind it.” She said any ballot question would be modeled on their legislation.<br />
If advocates choose to pursue a ballot question, Attorney General Martha Coakley would first need to certify that their proposed question meets standards for initiative petitions. Her decision would be due Sept. 7. If the question wins Coakley’s approval, supporters would need to gather 68,911 signatures by late November.<br />
If the signature drive is successful, lawmakers would have until the first week of May 2012 to act on the proposal, offer an alternative or opt to let the measure proceed to the ballot. If the Legislature rejects the measure or chooses not to act, sponsors of the petition would need to collect an additional 11,485 signatures by early July 2012. If successful, the measure would appear on the ballot in November 2012.<br />
Smizik said he did not want to comment on his support for a ballot question or the prospects of winning at the polls until he had exhausted all his other options.<br />
“I’m not going to say that until we can’t do it anymore. I’d rather do it through the Legislature. I think that’s a better way to pass legislation,” Smizik said.<br />
Under the bill, patients suffering from conditions that include cancer, glaucoma, HIV, AIDS, hepatitis C, Crohn’s disease and other conditions that result in severe, chronic pain or “wasting” would be eligible for medical marijuana, provided a doctor issues a written recommendation that the benefits would outweigh the risks. The proposal would then require that the Department of Public Health certify that recommendation and issue a registration card to the patient, adding another layer of regulation that supporters said would help prevent abuses of the system.<br />
Sixteen states have legalized medical marijuana, including Maine, Vermont and Rhode Island.<br />
Legislation sanctioning medical marijuana has stalled for decades, winning strong support during committee hearings and several dozen cosponsors in the House and Senate, but never advancing to the floor.<br />
Last year, nonbinding ballot questions in six House districts testing voters’ support for medical marijuana showed strong support for the policy in Republican-held districts.<br />
When asked “Shall the state representative from this district be instructed to vote in favor of legislation that would allow patients, with their doctor’s written recommendation, to possess, grow, and purchase marijuana for medical use?” voters supported the proposal in districts held by Reps. George Ross (R-Attleboro), Elizabeth Poirier (R-North Attleborough), Todd Smola (R-Palmer), Daniel Winslow (R-Wrentham), John Mahoney (D-Worcester) and Ryan Fattman (R-Sutton).<br />

Stop federal raids<br />

<br />
» Sign the petition<br />
<br />
Friend,<br />
<br />
28 raids in 24 hours. That's the unfortunate reality for medical marijuana patients in Montana and California.<br />
<br />
Federal agents shutdown 26 dispensaries across Montana and 2 in the medical marijuana sanctuary city of West Hollywood, California this month in their latest attack on patients and legitimate businesses.<br />
<br />
The DEA isn't even supposed to be conducting these raids in the first place. In 2009, Attorney General Eric Holder issued a memo ordering an end to federal raids of medical marijuana dispensaries. Yet, despite his memo, federal agents have continued these operations sporadically for years, without regard for patients', states' or business' rights.<br />
<br />
Attorney General Eric Holder clearly doesn't have control of his own cavalry. This assault on patients rights has to stop now.<br />
<br />
Sign our letter telling Attorney General Holder to enforce his memo and prohibit federal raids on medical marijuana dispensaries.<br />
<br />
Click here to sign the letter: http://action.firedoglake.com/page/s/fedraids<br />
<br />
But is Holder being dishonest and hypocritical? Or does he simply lack strong leadership among US Attorneys General?<br />
<br />
A memo issued on February 1st by US Attorney Melinda Haag (who, ironically, represents Northern California) directly contradicts Holder’s edict. She declares that ANYONE engaging in the buying or selling of marijuana, regardless of their protection under state laws, will be punished by the federal government.<br />
<br />
That doesn’t just mean dispensaries and the patients who rely on them, but goes as far as to include landlords, financiers and property owners as well. It’s a full-court press designed to intimidate supporters of reform and ostracize patients seeking their prescribed medications.<br />
<br />
This attitude puts lives in jeopardy and undermines our democratic institutions by foiling state attempts to provide solutions for their own people. We need to put an end to the federal harassment of medical marijuana patients now.<br />
<br />
Tell Attorney General Holder to enforce his own memo banning federal raids of medical marijuana dispensaries and take a stand for patients rights.<br />
<br />

This kind of official hypocrisy at the expense of our most vulnerable citizens is a disgrace to the notion of basic human rights everywhere. Thank you for standing up for a patients’ basic rights to treatment.<br />
<br />
Thanks for all you do.<br />

Marijuana legalization advocates organize to put new measure on California<br />
ballot<br />
<br />
March 18, 2011 | 12:34 pm<br />
<br />
<a href="http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/lanow/2011/03/new-medical-marijuana-initiative-in-california.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://latimesblogs .latimes. com/lanow/ 2011/03/new- medical-marijuan a-initiative- in-california. html</a><br />
<br />
The campaign behind a failed initiative to legalize marijuana in California<br />
announced Friday it had formed a new committee to put another measure on the<br />
ballot.<br />
<br />
The Coalition for Cannabis Policy Reform 2012 aims to build on the unusual<br />
support that coalesced around Proposition 19, which would have allowed<br />
adults to grow and possess marijuana and authorized cities and counties to<br />
legalize and tax sales.<br />
<br />
That campaign drew backing from the California NAACP and the Latino Voters<br />
League, which saw it as a way to end disproportionate arrests of African<br />
Americans and Latinos for marijuana crimes. Labor leaders in the Bay Area<br />
also got behind it, bringing endorsements from some major unions, which saw<br />
a legal pot industry as a potential source of union jobs.<br />
<br />
The committee announced Friday included Alice Huffman, who heads the<br />
California NAACP; Antonio Gonzalez, who formed the Latino Voters League; and<br />
Dan Rush, the United Food and Commercial Workers Union official who worked<br />
during the campaign to build labor support. It also includes several key<br />
players behind Proposition 19, including Dale Sky Jones, who was the<br />
campaign's spokeswoman and will be the chairwoman of the new coalition.<br />
<br />
"The purpose of our organization is to learn from our experiences in 2010<br />
and take the lead toward victory in 2012," Jones wrote to supporters in an<br />
e-mail sent Friday. "We will expand our coalition, raise the necessary funds<br />
to move toward a possible 2012 campaign, and conduct polling and other<br />
opinion research that will guide the drafting of a new initiative."<br />
<br />
Proposition 19 lost 46%-54% in November, but it drew worldwide media<br />
attention and stimulated a vigorous debate over the nation's drug policies.<br />
Polls have shown growing support for marijuana legalization nationwide, and<br />
a post-election poll in California suggested the measure might have passed<br />
if proponents had had the money for a campaign to reach swing voters.<br />
<br />
Many activists are convinced that, with more money and broader support, a<br />
similar initiative could pass during a presidential election year when the<br />
turnout tends to be more liberal. The coalition includes several<br />
representatives who will be critical to raising money, including Stephen<br />
Gutwillig, the California director of the Drug Policy Alliance, which has<br />
close ties to the major donors who have supported past medical-marijuana and<br />
legalization initiatives.<br />
<br />
Proposition 19, the Regulate, Control and Tax Cannabis Act, was the<br />
brainchild of Richard Lee, an Oakland medical-marijuana entrepreneur who led<br />
the effort to draft it, paid for a signature-gathering effort to qualify it<br />
and footed the bill for most of the campaign. He and Jeff Jones, an Oakland<br />
activist who co-sponsored the measure, are on the coalition's board.<br />
<br />
Lee's singular role in the campaign led some drug-policy- reform activists to<br />
keep their distance initially, but as the initiative sparked a nationwide<br />
conversation, they decided to embrace it. Although still involved, Lee has<br />
stayed behind the scenes as the new effort gets underway.<br />
<br />
The Proposition 19 campaign struggled to win support among medical-marijuana<br />
activists, growers and dispensary owners, many of whom worried it would<br />
disrupt their lucrative business. Marijuana legalization activists held a<br />
conference in Berkeley recently to reach out to medical-marijuana activists<br />
and will host a second one Saturday in Los Angeles.<br />
<br />
The new campaign plans to hold a series of meetings to draft a new<br />
initiative and expects to launch a new website soon. "What many thought was<br />
an unlikely dream in 2010 is poised to become reality in 2012," Jones wrote<br />
to supporters of the previous initiative. "We will need your ideas, your<br />
passion and your support going forward."<br />

The raids came after an 18 month multiagency investigation that looked into drug trafficking and tax evasion.But cannabis consumers feel the raids are not a federal issue and they violate people's rights."I think it's inappropriate for the federal government to intrude into Montana politics, I think timing is questionable and I think the targets are questionable as well," said Doug Chyatte member of Montanans for Responsible Legislature."We voted, we pay taxes, I want them to leave us alone, just like everybody else, it's just wrong," said medical marijuana patient Suzzane Dmarinis.The group of protestors met at Caras Park before going down Higgins, until they reached their destination in front of the court house. The crowd yelled out, "DEA Go Away.""I hope that we get listened to today, I hope we make a difference and if not we will keep rallying we keep doing because someone's got to listen," said Dmarinis.The raid warrants given to NBC Montana state the Feds have permission to search until March 26th, but it unsure if any more raids will actually occur.</div>MassachusettsMarijuanaMovementJournalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04749625728957320218noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-699084442876463179.post-44571775034100458482011-03-19T06:28:00.000-07:002011-03-19T06:35:19.523-07:00Mass Medical Marijuana Raid in Montana.

<tr> <td valign="top"> I've been a part of the marijuana movement since I started working for <a href="http://hightimes.com/" target="_blank" title="HT">High Times</a> in 1989. Though High Times is run by a number of women at the top, the magazine is a boy's club, edited primarily by men. High Times caters to a predominately male readership. That's why the magazine has featured photo spreads of Playmates, Penthouse Pets and porn stars. It's a men's magazine first, and the editors and bosses know how to play to their crowd.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://hightimes.com/" target="_blank" title="HT"><img alt="Jenna Jameson - High Times" height="131" src="http://www.celebstoner.com/images/stories/HighTimes_Jenna.jpg" style="float: right; margin: 5px;" width="98" /></a>While I worked at High Times (I left in 2007), several editors pursued these photo shoots, steering the magazine perilously in the porn direction. It all started with Jenna Jameson in 2001 for a "Pot & Sex" issue. The porn star was on top of her world at the time and the issue flew off newsstands.<br />
<br />
High Times is not different than most publishing companies. When something works, the bosses say, "Do that again." So the chase was on to find more Jennas. From that point, there was run of cheesecake covers - from Stoner Girls Next Door to Jenna (again) to more recent <a href="http://misshightimes.com/" target="_blank" title="Miss HT">Miss High Times</a> winners to yet another porn star, Tera Patrick. Do stoners really want porn with their pot?<br />
<br />
I fought the good battle there and lost. When I was co-editor from 2004-2006, the dreaded sex issue came up. On one side of the editorial board, it was decided to pursue Jenna. On the other side, a few staffers contacted Penthouse. I stood in the middle. When push came to shove, I chose the Jenna cover.<br />
<br />
I'm not a prude, I just don't think it's appropriate to fill up a pot magazine with images strictly for male readers, essentially turning off the female base. The few women on the staff would occasionally suggest that a sexy guy should be on the cover. Never happened. I'd regularly hear from women in the movement who'd distanced themselves from the magazine because of the racy content.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.legalbuds.com/" target="_blank" title="Legal Buds"><img alt="Legal buds" height="200" src="http://www.celebstoner.com/images/stories/Legalbuds.jpg" style="float: right; margin: 5px;" width="75" /></a>Another issue has long been the use of scantily-clad women in advertisements. That certainly has not changed. Take look at most marijuana mags and websites and you'll inevitably be confronted by objectionable ads, like the <a href="http://www.legalbuds.com/" target="_blank" title="Legal Buds">legalbuds.com</a> banners or the BC Bud Depot two-page spreads. These are tacky trade-magazine ads that diminish the overall quality of any publication that accepts them. But they also pay the bills,<br />
<br />
Now that I'm a website publisher, I encounter the same issues High Times faces, just on a smaller scale. We've built CelebStoner as a counter to High Times and <a href="http://www.skunkmagazine.com/" target="_blank" title="Skunk">Skunk</a> - a sexist-free environment where readers don't have to be worried about being offended by salacious ads and editorial content. We've rejected numerous ad banners that were deemed offensive. High Times doesn't turn any advertiser away.<br />
<br />
Elsewhere on the web, you'll find plenty of "buds & babes" sites, such as <a href="http://www.420girls.com/420/" target="_blank" title="420 Girls">420girls.com</a>, <a href="http://girls4ganja.com/" target="_blank" title="Girls 4 Ganja">Girls4ganja.com</a>, <a href="http://www.ganjaporn.com/" target="_blank" title="Ganja Porn">ganjaporn.com</a>, <a href="http://ggdub.com/girls" target="_blank" title="GG Dub">girlsgoneweed.com</a> and so on. Women smoking pot with little or no clothes on? Clearly, these are men's sites. Just like with porn, if women allow themselves to be photographed nude for the purpose of male and (and certainly in some case) female arousal, that's their choice. Let's assume no one is being forced to do anything. The same with bud babes. Still, these sites demean women who otherwise would not be featured if they didn't play the part of sexy sirens.<br />
<br />
Been to a cannabis trade show lately? The floors are crawling with barely-clothed women pitching products. People shrug and say that's what happens at trade shows, but why does that have to be the case at our shows? Are we not different and better? At <a href="http://www.celebstoner.com/201012175457/reviews/concerts-events/kushcon-ii.html" target="_self" title="CelebStoner">KushCon II</a> in December, the <a href="http://norml.org/index.cfm?Group_ID=8059" target="_blank" title="NORML">NORML Woman's Alliance</a> (NWA) made a stink about the woman in question and a dress code was hastily ordered (and of course not followed).<br />
<br />
These issues sparked the forming of the NWA last year. Women in the movement are tired of being harassed, bullied, taken for granted and advantage of, not considered for leadership positions, and objectified. The NWA got together for a <a href="http://www.celebstoner.com/201010215070/news/marijuana-news/norml-women-doin-it-for-themselves.html" target="_self" title="CelebStoner">tasteful photo shoot</a> to show how they want to be seen - as elegant, powerful woman, not cheesecake girls flaunting their assets.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://control.mpp.org/site/Calendar?id=100461&view=Detail" target="_blank" title="MPP"><img alt="Playboy bunnies" height="130" src="http://www.celebstoner.com/images/stories/Playboy_bunnies.jpg" style="float: right; margin: 5px;" width="126" /></a>When I heard the MPP was <a href="http://control.mpp.org/site/Calendar?id=100461&view=Detail" target="_blank" title="MPP">returning to the Playboy Mansion</a> for another one of their big fundraisers, I called for a <a href="http://www.celebstoner.com/201103156168/news/marijuana-news/boycott-the-mpp-playboy-party.html" target="_self" title="CelebStoner">boycott</a>. At first, people wondered why. I reminded them that the organization's co-founder and executive director Rob Kampia was <a href="http://www.celebstoner.com/201004134096/news/celebstoner-news/hes-back-rob-kampia-reinstated-by-mpp.html" target="_self" title="CelebStoner">suspended</a> last year for having sex with a drunk female subordinate employee after work and other charges of sexual harassment. Many of the MPP's most prominent employees quit in the wake of <a href="http://www.celebstoner.com/201001153556/news/marijuana-news/mpp-scandal-rocks-marijuana-world.html" target="_self" title="CelebStoner">the scandal</a>. In my opinion, Kampia should have been fired and replaced by a woman. Instead, he was reinstated after a three-month benching.<br />
The MPP skipped the Playboy event in 2010 for obvious reasons, but apparently now it's okay to head back to the Mansion. People sure have short memories.<br />
This promises to be Kampia's coming-out party. But it would be like giving a recently-stopped cigarette smoker a case of Camels. For someone who's described himself as "hypersexualized" and went through many sessions of therapy, the Playboy Mansion is the last place he and his organization should be raising money.<br />
<br />
I'm hoping that the cannabis community will support this event <em>only</em> if the MPP relocates it to another venue. If not - and if people show up in droves at the Playboy Mansion on July 7 - then we have a bigger problem than I ever imagined.<br />

<span style="font-size: xx-small;">Dr. Seth Bock, who owns the Newport Acupuncture & Wellness Spa at 850 Aquidneck Avenue, Middletown, is among three applicants selected to open the state's first marijuana dispensaries. Bock intends to open Greenleaf Compassionate Care Center in Portsmouth. </span><br />
PROVIDENCE -- The state Health Department has selected three dispensaries to sell medical marijuana to the growing patient population in the state.<br />
They are: Summit Medical Compassion Center in Warwick, The Thomas C. Slater Compassion Center in Providence, and Greenleaf Compassionate Care Center in Portsmouth.<br />
The annoucement was made in a 3 p.m. news release.<br />
"After a thorough and thoughtful review of all applications, health (officials) determined that these three applicants were best able to offer safe, conveniently located options for patients currently enrolled in the medical marijuana program,'' said Interim Director of Health Michael Fine.<br />
The principals in each dispensary are Mark J. Berergon, at Summit; Gerald J. McGraw Jr., at Slater; and Seth Bock, at Greenleaf. Cuttino Mobley, the former NBA basetball player and ex-University of Rhode Island great, is the sole financier of the Summit project.<br />
Last fall, 18 applicants submitted detailed proposals to open marijuana dispensaries across the state. The vast majority of them planned to open in the Providence metropolitan area, but there were also proposals for centers in North Kingstown, Coventry and Portsmouth.<br />
Rhode Island is one of 15 states, along with the District of Columbia, that has legalized marijuana for medicinal purposes. It will soon join Maine, <a href="http://www.projo.com/news/content/ROCKY_MOUNTAIN_POT_03-13-11_B6MQ70E_v85.1940fff.html">Colorado</a> and New Mexico as the only states with state-regulated dispensaries. Other states, such as California and Montana, have dispensaries, but they are not under state control.<br />

We appreciate you!!</div><div style="text-align: left;">Thanks to the generosity of these donations we are starting to making progress towards the purchase of lanterns that we can make available on our site. Unfortunately, it will take a bit more to have the lanterns available for purchase by the beginning of April and delivered by April 20th.</div><div style="text-align: left;">This is a global event, and you are not required to purchase lanterns from us. If you would like a plain one, links to websites can be found at the face book event page linked above. </div><div style="text-align: left;">If you would like to help support Moms for Marijuana by purchasing from us, then first we need help to fund this project. As mothers, we understand the endless needs of the family budget, especially when insurance doesn't help cover choice in meds. So, whether it's $1, $10 or $100, every penny is appreciated. All funds collected at this time will be used to help fund the purchase of lanterns that will be given the Moms for Marijuana logo or similar and made available for sale on our site. This will allow us to raise the funds to become a <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1300359716_1">tax exempt charitable organization</span> and increase our ability to help spread Cannabis education.</div><div style="text-align: left;">This event is barely over a month away, and every moment counts. If you or anyone you know can donate, you can do so by:</div><div style="text-align: left;">-directly depositing money into our fundraising account through Wells Fargo bank (please email mom@momsformarijuana if you would like to know how to do this), </div><div style="text-align: left;">-mailing a check or money order made payable to Moms for Marijuana c/o <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1300359716_2" style="border-bottom: 2px dotted rgb(54, 99, 136); cursor: pointer;">Sarah Caldwell</span> (our director of Finance), <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1300359716_3" style="-moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; border-bottom: 2px dotted rgb(54, 99, 136); cursor: pointer;">1814 S. Latah, Boise, Idaho, 83704</span></div><div style="text-align: left;">Be sure to include your return address, so we can send a thank you card!</div>Moms for Marijuana does not charge dues for membership and we do not like to ask for donations. Every expense is usually paid for out of the pockets of our directors and chapter leaders so anything you can do to help is very much appreciated.<br />
If we are unable to fund the Light up the Sky project in time, any donations received will be put towards our next project and help Moms for Marijuana become a charitable organization.<br />
Thank you!<br />
Much love & respect,<br />

<b><span style="font-family: Arial;">LESTER GRINSPOON, M.D.<br />
</span></b></div><img align="left" alt="noose.gif (1960 bytes)" height="150" src="http://www.rxmarijuana.com/images/noose.gif" width="30" /><span style="color: green; font-family: Arial; font-size: x-large;"><strong>O</strong></span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: medium;">n November 4, 1989, Kerry Wiley, a 35-year-old computer science lecturer on sabbatical, was apprehended in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia for the possession of marijuana. He was accused of mailing himself a package containing marijuana from Thailand, and an informant tipped off the police who searched his apartment and found more marijuana. He was charged with the possession of over 500 grams of cannabis. Death by hanging is the prescribed penalty for possession of more than 200 grams (7.05 ounces) under Provision 39b of the Dangerous Drugs Act of 1983. One particularly chilling part of this law reads:</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: medium;">"In any proceedings under this Act the provisions of this Act shall be construed and interpreted so as to give effect to the purpose of this Act without regard for ambiguities, or infirmities of language, or other defects or deficiencies therein..."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: medium;">More than a hundred people had been hanged in Malaysia under this law, including eight young Hong Kong residents the preceding summer. Bail is not allowed in such cases, and the prisoner may wait two to five years for trial. By the time Kerry came to trial he had spent over a year in the cruelly overcrowded Pudu prison, sleeping on a blanket on a cement floor in a small cell with several other prisoners, bathing in dirty water. Whereas the diet of the other prisoners was rice-based, his was restricted almost exclusively to potatoes apparently because he was an American. His nutritional state was poor and it was not surprising that his teeth were rotting. Nor was it surprising that he had become seriously depressed.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: medium;">As a 12-year-old boy, while hiking alone on Christmas eve in the San Jacinto mountains, Kerry had slipped and fallen 60 feet down a ledge to sharp rocks below. He was not found until the next morning. Newspaper headlines described his survival as a "Christmas miracle" but he was left with serious disabilities, of which the worst was painful muscle spasms in his left shoulder and arm. Over the course of the next few years he was given a variety of analgesics, none of which he found satisfactory. At one point he became addicted to one of the opiate derivatives. Like many other people, including victims of quadriplegia, paraplegia and multiple sclerosis, Kerry, now a young adult, discovered that cannabis was far more useful for this kind of pain and had fewer side effects than any of the medicines doctors could prescribe. He began to use it regularly, and like anyone who needs a medicine for the relief of spasm and pain, he wanted to have assurance of an uninterrupted supply. There is no evidence that he ever abused cannabis or sold it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: medium;">I first heard about Kerry’s plight when I received a call in February of 1990 from his mother, Dr. Helen Wiley, a retired psychologist from Sacramento, California. Helen is a remarkable woman who, among other things, spent eight months living alone in a hotel in Kuala Lumpur to assist in her son’s defense. She called me because she had read "Medical Uses of Illicit Drugs," a chapter James B. Bakalar and I wrote for the book Dealing With Drugs, which she believed would be useful in the trial if I would redraft it as an affidavit. I replied that much more would be needed for her son’s defense and put her in touch with Ramsey Clark, former Attorney General of the United States, who shortly thereafter went to Malaysia and talked with Kerry’s Malaysian lawyer. Ramsey and I believed that a defense of medical necessity was the best and perhaps only hope for preventing a tragedy. Karpal Singh, the Malaysian lawyer, was understandably skeptical, since that defense had never been used in Malaysia.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: medium;">By the time I arrived in Kuala Lumpur, Kerry’s defense was in the hands of another Malaysian lawyer by the name of Mohammed Shafee Abdullah. On technical grounds, he had prevented the admission of evidence concerning the cannabis Kerry allegedly mailed to himself from Thailand, but the cannabis found in his apartment (265.7 grams) would be enough to condemn him to death.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: medium;">I arrived in Kuala Lumpur on Monday, December 10<sup>th</sup>, 1990. I examined Kerry in Pudu prison for three hours that day, and again for two-and-a-half hours on Wednesday, December 12<sup>th</sup>. Before I examined him, I had an opportunity to see the x-rays of his left shoulder and arm; his humerus had not healed properly. In examining him, it was obvious that he had what must have been quite painful muscle spasms in and around the deltoid area of his left shoulder. He told me that the pain was not bad then because he had had a smoke just before he was brought to the room used for this type of examination. I was surprised -- --</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: medium;">"You use marijuana in here?"</span><br />
<blockquote> <blockquote> <span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: medium;">"It’s the only thing that controls the pain and spasms."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: medium;">"But how do you get it in here?"</span><br />
</blockquote></blockquote><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: medium;">"Pudu prison is the easiest place in Kuala Lumpur to buy marijuana. The guards sell marijuana to the prisoners."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: medium;">Once I recovered from my disbelief, I realized that it made sense: the guards earn extra money by selling marijuana and at the same time they make their jobs easier; people who are high on cannabis are generally not trouble-makers and they are not violent. I wondered to what extent this was practiced in U.S. prisons. I also spent an hour with the prison psychologist who had been treating Kerry for his depression.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: medium;">I spent many hours with Shafee preparing the medical necessity defense, with which Shafee had no experience. This bright and affable man arranged for me to give a lecture on the evening of Thursday, December 13<sup>th</sup> to a group of influential Malaysian physicians and lawyers. I spoke of the serious confusion embodied in the Malaysian concept of "dadah," a generic term which treats opiates and cannabis as though they were identical. Most of my remarks were about the history of cannabis as a medicine. I started by pointing out that Dr. W. B. O’Shaughnessy’s groundbreaking work, published in 1839, was based on his observations of the medicinal use of cannabis among Indians and Malays. Seldom have I lectured to an audience that expressed so much interest in cannabis. They seemed starved for up-to-date, reliable, realistic information about the drug.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: medium;">I was called to the stand at 9 AM on Friday, December 14<sup>th</sup>. Judge Shaik Daud Ismaill, who sat without a jury, immediately expressed his irritation at my presence by asking Shafee, as he tried to introduce me, "Why have you brought this man halfway around the globe to testify when it has been established that the defendant possessed 265.7 grams of cannabis and the punishment is prescribed?"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: medium;">Shafee then introduced the notion of medical necessity and, after the judge reluctantly agreed to let me testify, he pursued the direct examination. Like so many people in the previous night’s audience, the judge became increasingly interested in the medical uses of cannabis in general and Kerry Wiley’s use of it in particular. The direct examination ended at 11:50 AM. The judge then asked the prosecutor whether the ten minutes remaining before the break for noon prayers would be enough for cross-examination. He replied: "Oh no, my Lord! It will take two or three hours for me to get the truth out of Dr. Grinspoon." I had heard from several sources that the prosecutor, Abdul Alim Abdullah, believed it would advance his career to convict and hang the first American under Provision 39b.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: medium;">Everyone in the courtroom was surprised by the first question he put to me after the recess. He asked whether, in completing my disembarkation form for visitors to Malaysia, I had indicated that I was here for business or pleasure. I responded, "For business."</span><br />
<blockquote> <blockquote> <span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: medium;">"And what is your business here, Dr. Grinspoon?"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: medium;">"My business is to examine the patient and appear as a witness at this trial."</span><br />
</blockquote></blockquote><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: medium;">He interrupted me to say, "You mean the accused! And how many times did you examine the accused?"</span><br />
<blockquote> <blockquote> <span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: medium;">"Twice."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: medium;">"How many hours did you spend examining the accused?"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: medium;">"Five and a half hours."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: medium;">"Good. And now you will kindly produce for the court the written authorization from the Ministry of Health as required by law for a foreigner to medically examine a prisoner in Malaysia."</span><br />
</blockquote></blockquote><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: medium;">Puzzled, I told him I knew nothing about this law. It was clear from their reactions that neither Shafee nor the judge knew about it either. Alim then said that he would charge and arrest me for the violation. The judge, after reading a page from a law book that Alim carried to the bench, satisfied himself that the law existed. He hesitated and then said, "You are within your right to arrest this man now, but if you do, you will not be able to cross-examine him and you said that you needed two to three hours of cross-examination." Alim, after a short conference with the head of the small contingent of men in uniform, decided to put the charge on hold and cross-examine me.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: medium;">He had a long list of questions that he crossed out one by one. The more he asked, the more ground he lost. Eventually, exasperated, he said, "Dr. Grinspoon, all that you have reported here about the capacity of cannabis to relieve suffering of one type or another comes from papers and journals. What has been your experience in observing this for yourself?" In response I told the court how smoking cannabis had given my son, who had suffered from lymphocytic leukemia, extraordinarily effective relief from the pernicious nausea and vomiting caused by some cancer chemotherapies. As someone from the American Embassy later said, "You could hear a pin drop in that courtroom." As I spoke, the prosecutor began to shuffle and rustle papers intrusively. The judge, who was obviously deeply interested in my story, raised his voice and said, "Mr. Alim, are you listening to Dr. Grinspoon? Are you getting this? Do you want him to start from the beginning?" Alim stopped shuffling papers. When I finished he pursued a few more questions and abruptly stopped, although he had only asked about two-thirds of the questions on his list. He then conferred with some other government people, including the above-mentioned man in uniform. It seemed clear that they were deciding whether to arrest me. Finally he told the judge that he had concluded his cross-examination, and the court was dismissed.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: medium;">We were fairly sure that, given his comments during the cross-examination, the judge would not sentence Kerry to death. We also believed that Alim had decided not to arrest me because the publicity might damage his case (or career) even further. However, as we were preparing to leave the courtroom, Allen Kong, legal counsel to the American Embassy, told Shafee and me that I was not out of danger yet, that Alim (the government) might arrest me at Subang Airport that night as I left Kuala Lumpur. He also said that it would be wise for me to destroy any papers I did not want to fall into Alim’s hands and he gave me a telephone number where he could be reached. That evening Shafee accompanied me to the airport, where he obtained an airport security badge and walked me through customs and immigration, down the jet way, never leaving my side until the door to the airplane was closed.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: medium;">The judge issued his ruling on January 17<sup>th</sup>, 1991. He said that "on the balance of probabilities there was enough evidence adduced from the accused to show that the cannabis was for his own consumption"—specifically, "to relieve pain from injuries he suffered in a fall off a mountain." He was sentenced to five years in jail, of which 26 months remained to be served, and, as a mandatory part of the sentence, ten strokes of the rattan. The cane used in Malaysia is particularly cruel and burdens the recipient with some motion limitation and pain for the rest of his life. The sentence was to be appealed.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: medium;">On the advice of Ramsey Clark, I wrote to the Prime Minister, who was a physician. I pleaded with Dr. Mohamad Mahathir to spare the rattan. After reminding him that the rattan used in Malaysia cuts right to the periosteum of the bones in the spinal column and, as a consequence, burdens the victim with pain, particularly when he sits or lies on his back, which he has to bear the rest of his life. It was because he was already suffering from chronic pain that Kerry Wiley began to use marijuana in the first place. Did it make sense to impose another increment of chronic pain? Dr. Mohamad Mahathir never answered my letter but several months later, on February 24, 1993, as his appeal was pending, Kerry was quietly released from prison before the 26 months had expired and without the application of the rattan.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: medium;">Kerry Wiley returned to the United States a broken man. His health was poor and he had lost his teeth. He became reclusive and he never returned to teaching.</span></div>MassachusettsMarijuanaMovementJournalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04749625728957320218noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-699084442876463179.post-78609267851656805582011-03-15T21:33:00.000-07:002011-03-15T21:33:55.006-07:00New Directions: A Public Safety and Health Approach to Drug Policy<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgri-Ug225_bOueEB7aCw7-85C0qtARTtHjU_1zXowlwhg_6TABUKoAOEwHfyGNvt_O6KOlZNgUQ0uVC__mIDLmu_z-NOEEujGt2ZMDITqBnWwUfYFCguIa-fDbsulflj6YIgEdHx-HST0/s1600/NJDPA.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgri-Ug225_bOueEB7aCw7-85C0qtARTtHjU_1zXowlwhg_6TABUKoAOEwHfyGNvt_O6KOlZNgUQ0uVC__mIDLmu_z-NOEEujGt2ZMDITqBnWwUfYFCguIa-fDbsulflj6YIgEdHx-HST0/s320/NJDPA.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="yiv978248479MsoNormal"><b><u><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-weight: bold;"></span></span></u></b><u><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="text-decoration: none;"></span></span></span></u><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">For Immediate Release: Contact: Tony Newman <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1300249133_1" style="border-bottom: 2px dotted rgb(54, 99, 136); cursor: pointer;">(646) 335 5384</span></span></span></div><div class="yiv978248479MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">March 15, 2011 Reverend William Howard <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1300249133_2" style="-moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; border-bottom: 2px dotted rgb(54, 99, 136); cursor: pointer;">(973) 623-8161</span></span></span></div><div class="yiv978248479MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: 16pt; font-weight: bold;"> </span></span></b></div><div class="yiv978248479MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span></span></div><div align="center" class="yiv978248479MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-weight: bold;">Bethany</span></span></b><b><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-weight: bold;"> Baptist Church and the <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1300249133_3" style="-moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; border-bottom: 2px dotted rgb(54, 99, 136); cursor: pointer;">Drug Policy Alliance</span> Host <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1300249133_4">New Directions</span> Conference, March 19<sup>th</sup> in <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1300249133_5" style="-moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; cursor: pointer;">Newark , NJ</span> </span></span></b></div><div align="center" class="yiv978248479MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: bold;"> </span></span></b></div><div align="center" class="yiv978248479MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-weight: bold;">National and International Leaders in Law Enforcement, Public Health, Drug Treatment and <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1300249133_6">Criminal Justice Reform</span> will Meet to Chart A Public Safety and Health Approach to Drugs</span></span></b></div><div align="center" class="yiv978248479MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-weight: bold;"> </span></span></b></div><div class="yiv978248479MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">On Saturday, March 19<sup>th</sup>,<sup> </sup>an unprecedented collection of community advocates, service providers, public safety personnel and public health professionals will come together at a day-long conference to chart a new course in drug policy that could serve as a model for the nation.

BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS - Senate President Pro Tempore Stanley Rosenberg (D-Amherst) has joined Representative Frank I. Smizik (D-Brookline) in introducing companion legislation that would allow patients with certain debilitating conditions safe and legal access to medical marijuana with a doctor’s recommendation and approval from the Department of Public Health. Legislators and medical marijuana patients across the state are preparing for a vote this legislative session.<br />
<br />
“Fifteen other states now have medical marijuana laws on the books. It's time for us to take action on this quality of life issue once and for all,” said Smizik, lead sponsor of H. 625. “The bills that Senator Rosenberg and I have introduced include multiple levels of state regulation, such as state issued ID cards for qualifying patients and a rigorous licensing process that caps the amount of treatment centers that will open at nineteen.”<br />
<br />
“There is no doubt that medical marijuana can help people with serious diseases who don't respond to existing medications,” agreed Rosenberg, lead sponsor of S. 1161. “The Rhode Island program that our proposals are modeled after includes the necessary controls to allow patients access to this medicine while preventing abuse of the system.” In an aggressive attempt to pass medical marijuana reform this session, legislative sponsors have filed the same bill in both the State Senate and House of Representatives.<br />

Lorraine Kerz, a constituent of Sen. Rosenberg, recounted how medical marijuana helped her 29-year-old son Silas Bennett before he died of cancer. “After enduring chemotherapy treatments Silas would often be nauseous and unable to keep food down. After throwing up uncontrollably he would administer some medical marijuana. A few minutes later he'd say, 'OK mom, I'm ready to try again,'” she said. “Anyone who has seen how medical marijuana can help a family member suffering with cancer knows that passing this law is the right thing to do.”<br />

“My body is being twisted from the uneven contractions of my muscles and my hands are balled into permanent fists. After medicating with marijuana my muscles are relaxed and pliable. Using medical marijuana is the difference between spending a comfortable day in my wheelchair or fighting with painful spasms throughout my body,” said Steve Saling from Chelsea, who has an advanced case of Lou Gehrig’s disease. “In my condition, what right does anyone have to deny me a safe and effective treatment?

Put down that pipe and listen up, stoners!<br />
<br />
Seattle police appear to be arresting more people this year on charges of possessing marijuana under Interim Chief John Diaz than under his predecessor, Gil Kerlikowske, who left his post in May 2009 to become the nation's Drug Czar. In fact, police are now arresting people for pot at the highest rate since voters passed a law in 2003 making marijuana possession the city's lowest law-enforcement priority.<br />
<br />
Police arrested 88 people for marijuana possession from the beginning of January to the end of April and referred them for prosecution, according to records from the Seattle City Attorney's Office. During the same time frame last year, officers arrested only 52 people for marijuana possession.<br />
<br />
Pete Holmes, the city attorney, has vowed not to prosecute any of those cases (except one case in which a defendant plead guilty to having pot and unlawfully using a weapon). But that hasn't stopped officers from arresting the suspects and referring their cases to Seattle Municipal Court.<br />
<br />
At this rate, police will bust 264 people for marijuana possession by the end of 2010—more than double recent years. To compare: Police arrested 123 people for the offense in 2008 and 120 people in 2009.<br />
<br />
Most of the people being busted are black (45 of the arrests), followed by white people (33 of the arrests), and the remaining 10 arrestees are other races.<br />
<br />
According to the City Attorney's office records, 84 of the arrests were for marijuana only (only four of the cases included charges for another crime). This would suggest that arrest patterns for marijuana-law enforcement or marijuana use have changed drastically in Seattle; marijuana referrals from the SPD have historically resulted from the drug being found in association with another crime. But these data would suggest—and I question them—that police have practically stopped referring marijuana cases when associated with other crimes while increasing radically the marijuana-only arrest rate.<br />
<br />
"We have had the opportunity to recheck the marijuana reports sent to our office, and the results were the same," Kevin Kilpatrick, an assistant city attorney supervisor who oversees records requests, said when asked to confirm the numbers. Last year only 28 people were arrested for marijuana-only offenses over the entire year (we've tripled that number in the first three months of 2010).<br />
<br />
It also seems possible that police activity isn't responsible for the change, but rather the reporting by the Seattle City Attorney's office has changed (Holmes took over the office at the same time the data seem to change). Nonetheless, the city attorney's office insists its numbers are correct. Is the city reporting on pot cases now wrong? Was it wrong under Tom Carr? Have things just shifted drastically—and a police crackdown is underway on pot smokers? SPD said it would look into the matter. We're setting up a meeting with the city attorney's office to find out more.MassachusettsMarijuanaMovementJournalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04749625728957320218noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-699084442876463179.post-55922371764951829452011-03-05T06:47:00.000-08:002011-03-05T07:11:41.246-08:00Pot activist still in the joint: ‘It was all medical marijuana’<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmOuP15RKJv8RQ2tWzR00EVNhSzbXpgQIvIGAq-BneAQlgYdbiQfUX9AMziPdCnwQMIYFPbUR8-6gbaIsupRYI4jlQB7ddSvdhFXAsUZ-xIYstOQBGb3CKbMCZPAhNW8iTWi0XG1wIo1o/s1600/Dana_Beal_1994.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="222" width="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmOuP15RKJv8RQ2tWzR00EVNhSzbXpgQIvIGAq-BneAQlgYdbiQfUX9AMziPdCnwQMIYFPbUR8-6gbaIsupRYI4jlQB7ddSvdhFXAsUZ-xIYstOQBGb3CKbMCZPAhNW8iTWi0XG1wIo1o/s320/Dana_Beal_1994.jpg" /></a></div><br />

<br />
Dana Beal would rather be smoking a joint — but he’s in the joint.<br />
<br />
Bleecker St. marijuana activist Beal continues to sit in jail in Wisconsin after police arrested him and Lance Ramer of Omaha, Nebraska, on Jan. 6 with an alleged 186 pounds of pot in a car that Ramer was driving and in which Beal was a passenger.<br />
<br />
Beal has been unable to make his $50,000 bail, though his lawyer has been fighting to get the amount reduced. Bail bondsmen — who take a 10 percent payment to post bond — aren’t allowed in Wisconsin.<br />
<br />
According to a source, Beal’s Wisconsin case probably won’t go to trial until May. A leader of the Yippie movement and a pot activist since the 1960’s, Beal also faces similar charges in a 2009 Nebraska case, when he was arrested with 150 pounds of marijuana in a vehicle he was riding in. That case could go to trial this month, the source said.<br />
<br />
Beal last year told this newspaper that the weed in the Nebraska arrest was acquired in California, and that he was planning to deliver it to medical marijuana buyers’ clubs in Michigan and New York City.<br />
<br />
He currently reportedly faces up to seven-and-a-half years in jail.<br />
<br />
In the meantime, as he passes the time imprisoned, Beal is, well, being Beal. A passionate advocate of ibogaine — which he touts as a miracle cure for heroin addiction — Beal reportedly has heard that the son of the judge on his case might have a heroin problem, and if so, could benefit from treatment with the African-plant-derived drug.<br />
<br />
“He’s driving his lawyer crazy talking about ibogaine,” said Paul DiRienzo, a former WBAI radio reporter and friend of Beal’s. “He thinks ibogaine might be useful for the judge’s son if he’s on heroin — now he can offer the judge’s son a cure for heroin. He would be willing to do ibogaine with him,” as in monitor the man’s dosing with the powerful drug.<br />
<br />
Beal is also said to be giving advice to a man in a cell across from him detoxing from dope.<br />
<br />
DiRienzo noted the judge on the Wisconsin case, William Dyke, is “a very conservative judge — he was the mayor of Madison in the ’60’s when they were beating up protesters.” In 1976, Dyke was the vice-presidential running mate of Lester Maddox, a staunch segregationist, in his bid for the U.S. presidency.<br />
<br />
DiRienzo spoke to this newspaper last week a few days after having had a 20-mintue conversation with Beal and his lawyer, Bryon Walker. The calls are expensive for Beal, and Aron Kay, a.k.a. “The Yippie Pie Man,” has been raising money to pay for Beal’s daily phone calls and other jailhouse expenses.<br />
<br />
DiRienzo said the hope is that the authorities will just release Beal and possibly only make him pay a fine. He said Walker will argue that, at this point, Beal simply can’t be rehabilitated, prison’s purported purpose.<br />
<br />
“‘Why spend the time and money rehabilitating a 64-year-old pothead who’s never going to change?’ That’s what the lawyer said to me,” DiRienzo reported.<br />
<br />
Beal, during the conversation, also complained that the guards aren’t letting him take food back to his cell. DiRienzo said Beal has always suffered from insomnia, and likes to eat small portions throughout the night. Not being allowed to do so is worsening his insomnia, DiRienzo said, plus, as a result, “he’s not getting roughage.”<br />
<br />
DiRienzo said he couldn’t go into the case’s specifics.<br />
<br />
“I don’t know what happened,” he said. “According to his lawyer, he’s innocent.”<br />
<br />
“I’m not at liberty to talk about the case,” added Kay. “He’s being victimized by neo-nazis who don’t like marijuana, in general.”<br />
<br />
People who want to send money to Beal, can do it by PayPal, via pieman@pieman.org, he said. There’s also a Facebook page, “Free Dana Beal Free Ourselves,” with more information on how to send cash to Beal. In addition to phone calls, the money allows Beal to pay for juices, sweets and the like.<br />
<br />
While locked up in Wisconsin, Beal obviously won’t be able to organize the Global Marijuana March (a.k.a. The Million Marijuana March) on Sat., May 7, as he has done for years.<br />
<br />
“We’re going to pull it together, one way or another,” assured Kay. “Nothing will stop it.”<br />
<br />
Another Yippie source said, “Someone in Portland is picking up the slack.”<br />
<br />
The pot march occurs in cities around the world. Organizers for this year’s New York event are reportedly seeking a permit to march from Washington Square Park to Battery Park City.<br />
<br />
If there’s an upside to his time in jail, Beal at least gets to watch four TV news channels there, noted the Yippie source, adding, “That’s more than he gets at 9 Bleecker St.” During the Super Bowl, Beal reportedly was telling his prison mates to pipe down, oblivious to the fact that the Packers’ playing in the game was an event of historic proportions in Wisconsin.<br />
<br />
Beal’s arrest was also big news at least in part of the “Badger State,” in Iowa County, 10 miles outside Madison. According to a Jan. 14 article in the Dodgeville Chronicle (“Barneveld police make huge drug bust”), on Jan. 6 a police officer stopped the vehicle Beal was in because it had a broken taillight and some expired registration plates. Initially, Police Officer Nick Zimpel was prepared to issue just a warning, “perhaps a citation,” but he said, “I approached the vehicle and could smell an odor of marijuana coming, and at that time, I called for backup.” Ava, a K-9 police dog, was called in and, not surprisingly, immediately “hit on the vehicle.” Officers subsequently found a duffel bag with a “brick” of marijuana, with the whole haul of pot having a street value of more than $750,000.<br />
<br />
A follow-up Dodgeville Chronicle article on Jan. 21 (“Who really is Irvin Dana Beal?”) stated, “Federal investigators are being careful with what information is released [about Beal’s case]. They feel it could compromise an investigation into a national drug ring which runs from California to New York with multiple locations.”<br />
<br />
However, to hear Beal tell it, while he does admittedly transport cannabis cross-country, it’s marijuana for medical purposes. He calls people like himself “angels” for bringing pot to those who need it, and says it’s a crime to prosecute them for doing so.<br />
<br />
Speaking last year, referring to his October 2009 Nebraska bust, Beal told this newspaper, “I’m just really offended by these a—holes in Nebraska saying it’s not all medical marijuana.” That is: that all the pot in the car was going to be used for medical purposes.<br />
<br />
He’s been a medical marijuana advocate for more than two decades. He showed a New York newspaper article from the 1980’s, with a photo of him walking down the street, with a satchel over his shoulder, on his way to make a health-related reefer delivery.<br />
<br />
Last July, Beal and medical marijuana advocates gathered on the City Hall steps in Lower Manhattan for a press conference to condemn comments made by Bridget Brennan, the New York special narcotics prosecutor, against a perennially pending bill to legalize medical marijuana here. Last year, advocates had hoped the bill finally had a chance to pass.<br />
<br />
Those at the rally included AIDS sufferers, who said pot restored their appetites and kept them from wasting away; and a woman with M.S. and another, a survivor of third-stage breast cancer, who said marijuana eased the pain they felt from their afflictions and, in the case, of the woman who had fought cancer, painful radiation treatments.<br />
<br />
Basically, Beal said, he supplied pot to medical marijuana buyers’ clubs, not only in New York, but also in other places, like Michigan.<br />
<br />
“Three-and-a-half clubs [in New York] are connected to me,” he said. Beal said he supplied the clubs twice weekly, at locations in Manhattan and “the Village,” but didn’t want to get more specific. “They’re based on Tupperware parties,” he said. “More than 400 people in New York City are in some kind of [medical marijuana] club.”<br />
<br />
At the press conference, he stated, “Medical marijuana is well established here and won’t be affected if I go to jail — except it might cost a little more. I was keeping the cost down.”<br />
<br />
Beal said he likes to buy pot in California because it’s less expensive, adding, “I prefer stuff that’s grown outdoors. I prefer stuff that’s strong.” People with health needs need strong pot in order to benefit from the maximum medical effect, he explained. Beal noted he has to get the pot cross-country quickly, or it will start to “self-combust,” due to the volatile oils in it.<br />
<br />
Told this, Special Narcotics Prosecutor Brennan scoffed that it sounded like “Cheech and Chong.” In an interview, Brennan charged that medical marijuana users mainly covet “the big bang to the head” that pot provides. Among other things, she said marijuana should first be removed from Schedule 1 of the Controlled Substances Act, allowing it to be tested for medical properties by federal researchers, only after which it could potentially be legalized for medical use.<br />
<br />
At the end of the City Hall press conference last July, Beal asked everyone to hold up their “Cannabis Patients Registry” cards — but no one did.<br />
<br />
“That was embarrassing — everybody forgot to bring their cards,” he said.<br />
<br />
Later, he said he realized they were afraid to show their cards because they were out of date. He prints them up and laminates them at the Yippie Cafe, where he lives, at 9 Bleecker St. in Noho. The card’s front includes the person’s photo, while the back lists his or her medical condition and special needs.<br />
<br />
As the Dodgeville Chronicle noted, Beal isn’t unknown in Wisconsin, where he first appeared more than 40 years ago as a leader of Yippie protests against the Vietnam War.<br />
<br />
In fact, DiRienzo said, he met both Beal and Kay in Madison, which was known for its radicalism — “more radical than Berkeley,” he noted. While he was a student at Madison, DiRienzo said he met Beal during a conference about the 1980’s, where Beal argued with the organizer and took over the event. DiRienzo said he first made the acquaintance of “The Yippie Pie Man” when Kay pied Madison’s mayor.<br />
<br />
DiRienzo said, if he has to make a choice, Beal would prefer to serve time in Wisconsin since it’s an “intellectual state,” whereas, in Nebraska, “they don’t like New Yorkers.”<br />
<br />
A month after the press conference, Beal stopped by this newspaper’s office to introduce John Pylka, who was visiting from Washington, D.C. Pylka is a member there of the Cannabis Patients Registry, a medical marijuana buyers’ club, for which Beal said he supplied pot.<br />
<br />
At one point, Pylka unfolded and held out a small Tibetan compassion flag (actually, a series of small flags tied together on a string), then said, “It takes a lot of guts to do this. We wouldn’t be doing this if the federal government allowed this.”<br />
<br />
“See,” Beal said later, as they were leaving through the door, “there really is an East Coast medical marijuana network.”<br />

Who belongs in jail? Rapists? Murderers? Violent criminals? How about OCD or PTSD sufferers or alcoholics or cat hoarders for that matter, do they belong in jail for using medical marijuana? There's a preponderance of anecdotal evidence coming from many millions of people who, though they're generally otherwise law abiding, break the law routinely at significant risk of losing their personal freedoms, because they suffer from various physical, behavioral and/or mental health disorders that they find medical marijuana can safely and effectively ease. Prohibition once again has made us a nation of scofflaws, divided and at war against ourselves, cops vs citizens, targeting the most vulnerable, the poorest,most disenfanchised young people of color most significantly. Prohibition policies cannot effectively stop the growth of huge illegal industries, as long as the public wants a product in significant quantities the economic law of supply and demand trumps any amount of money and manpower wasted on trying to eradicate a thriving black market. We must consider temperance, which is to say not a law of abstinence, but one of regulation and reasonable moderation and revenue as an alternative to the violence and crime that prohibitive rather than temperate regulatory policies engender.<br />
Marijuana plant derived compounds have been shown to shrink cancer tumors, smoking high cbd strains helps chronic pain sufferers like myself regain a dignity and quality of life, retaining a presence of mind other meds would eradicate. The benefits outweigh the risks by so much that even healthy users can enjoy it at the end of the day with little if any ill effect. If you try it and don't like the effect, it is easy to put down and you'll never be tempted to use it again. Coffee is more habit forming. Smoking pot's a less pernicious habit than watching TV. More research is needed, but we already know it can also ease the anguish of medical users when dealing with the ignorant prejudices of evil, judgmental Babylonian @$$holes who think patients should have no right to informed consent and who would rather see us all behind bars for using a botanical remedy than actually look at the science and political history of this extremely useful and versatile plant.<br />
