Judge Scolds Officials For Blocking Vote Recount
Faced with accusations of lying, destroying public records and other chicanery, Alameda County officials — facing a lawsuit over their handling of a hotly contested election recount — instead protested to a state judge on Friday that they were victims of misunderstandings, bad decisions and their own ignorance of the multimillion-dollar machines used to conduct elections.

Growers Defend Crop
Three men accused of running a pot factory in Azusa claim that they are caregivers who grow exclusively for medical marijuana dispensaries.

Weak Marijuana Works As Well As High-Dose THC Pills

"Bong Hits" Decision a Hazy Mistake
When a reckless Supreme Court held last Monday in favor an Alaska high school principal who suspended a student for displaying his “BONG HiTS 4 JESUS” banner at a school event, they revealed a serious lack of legally consistent and scrutinous thought, and Chief Justice John Roberts in particular dropped the ball.

Native Americans Growing Hemp: Sovereignty Collides With Government
Should the growing of hemp fall into the same class of crimes as murder, which allows the federal government to override tribal sovereignty?

Give Protection To Patients Who Need Marijuana
State laws allowing medical use of marijuana have been on the books for nearly a decade but have been hampered by federal attempts to undermine them.

Giuliani Rejects Legalizing Marijuana For Medical Use

Medical Marijuana - A Progress Report
While it may be a bit of an exaggeration to speak of a pincer movement aimed at the heartland, medical marijuana is on the move. In addition to the 12 states where it is legal, a number of other states, including Illinois, Minnesota, Missouri, New Jersey, and New York have seen progress in state legislatures and are inching closer to approving medical marijuana. Meanwhile, a medical marijuana initiative is getting underway in Michigan, and activists are eyeing similar initiative campaigns in a handful of other states.
