Are Your Drugs Laws Working? Ask a Scientist |
|
Nov 07, 2009 - 10:57 AM - by Weedpipe
|
It's pleasing to see, in the storm of commentary over Professor David Nutt's sacking as the government's chief drugs adviser, that everyone outside politics now recognises the importance of scientific evidence in devising laws. But a strange reasoning twitch has appeared, in the arguments of politicians and rightwing commentators. Science can tell us about the molecules, they say, about their effect on the body and the risks. But policy is separate: a matter for judgment calls on social and ethical issues. Only politicians, they say, can determine the correct way to send out a clear message to the public. It is not a matter for science.
This is wrong. Alongside research into the risks of drugs, lots of work has... [Read More]

Sen. White Seeks Crackdown on Medical Marijuana Industry |
|
Nov 07, 2009 - 10:52 AM - by Weedpipe
|
DENVER, Colorado — State Sen. Al White, R-Hayden, whose district includes Glenwood Springs and Rifle, said Friday he plans to introduce legislation next session to regulate the rapidly expanding medical marijuana industry in Colorado.
“What we've effectively got now is de facto decriminalization of marijuana,” White stated in a press release. “That is not what the people of this state voted for.”
Colorado voters in November 2000 approved a constitutional amendment legalizing medical use of marijuana to treat eight specific conditions. White noted that the General Assembly, however, never enacted rules governing consumption or distribution of the drug after the amendment's passage.

Panel of 14 to Design Medical Marijuana System |
|
Nov 07, 2009 - 10:47 AM - by Weedpipe

AUGUSTA -- Gov. John Baldacci on Friday signed an executive order to create a 14-member task force that will help apply an expansion of the state's medical-marijuana law.
"Creating a new pharmaceutical distribution system is a complicated undertaking," he said in a statement. "Our goal is to follow the spirit and intent of the law while avoiding unintended consequences that could create serious problems in the future."
On Thursday, 59 percent of voters approved a citizen initiative that allows nonprofit medical marijuana dispensaries to open across the state. It also adds to the number of conditions for which marijuana can be recommended by a doctor.
Supporters said... [Read More]

Lake County Takes No. 2 Spot for Marijuana Eradications Statewide |
|
Nov 07, 2009 - 10:41 AM - by Weedpipe
|
LAKE COUNTY – For another year records were broken in statewide marijuana eradications, according to information released this week by the state.
The report also showed that Lake County was once again in the top five counties for eradications – with billions of dollars in marijuana seized locally – but for the first time in three years Lake fell from the top spot.
The California Department of Justice Bureau of Narcotic Enforcement's (BNE) Campaign Against Marijuana Planting (CAMP) netted more than 4.4 million illegally grown marijuana plants this year, up from the 2.9 million eradicated in 2008, according the agency's report.
During the 102-day season, officials conducted 665 raids across 41... [Read More]

The Democratic congressman was present for a marijuana bust at his partner's home in Maine in 2007.
Rep. Barney Frank admitted Friday that he was sitting on the porch of his partner’s Maine home when police came to arrest his partner for marijuana possession.
Frank, responding to new reports that he was present during the Aug. 2007 arrest of James Ready, said in a statement he was unaware Ready had marijuana plants.
According to a police report obtained by MyFoxBoston, Maine police arrested and charged James Ready with marijuana possession, cultivation and use of drug paraphernalia. He pleaded guilty to civil possession and paid a fine. The remaining charges were dismissed last... [Read More]

Report: Lincecum has Agreement on Pot Charge |

SEATTLE — San Francisco Giants ace Tim Lincecum has an agreement with a prosecutor in his home state of Washington that could settle his misdemeanor marijuana charge, The Columbian reported Friday.
The Vancouver, Wash., newspaper said Clark County prosecutors have reached a deal with a lawyer for the 2008 Cy Young Award winner that would result in a $250 fine for possessing a marijuana pipe.
Grant Hansen, a Clark County deputy prosecutor, told the newspaper his office is willing to dismiss a misdemeanor charge of possessing 3.3 grams of marijuana.
"We negotiated the case in the manner we do with just about every first-time marijuana-drug paraphernalia case where the individual is... [Read More]

Giants Pitcher Tim Lincecum was Cited for Possession of Marijuana |
|
Nov 06, 2009 - 6:22 PM - by Weedpipe

Though he faces misdemeanor charges in the state, it is unlikely he will receive any punishment from Major League Baseball.
The 2008 Cy Young Award winner was stopped for speeding at 8:23 a.m. on Oct. 30 while driving on Interstate 5, 4 miles north of the Oregon state line, according to Trooper Steve Schatzel of the Washington State Patrol. Lincecum was cited for driving 74 mph in a 60-mph zone.
The police report said the motorcycle officer who stopped Lincecum smelled marijuana in the car and asked him to produce any drugs that he had. Lincecum acknowledged that he did have drugs and opened the center console of his 2006 Mercedes, handing the officer 3.3 grams of marijuana, just under one-eighth of... [Read More]

Red Bluff Councilman Cited After Pot Debate |

Nov 06, 2009 - 6:13 PM - by Weedpipe

An 83-year-old Red Bluff city councilman was placed under citizen's arrest Tuesday night by a medicinal pot shop owner after the councilman allegedly poked his finger in the man's chest during a break at a contentious meeting at which the council eventually banned marijuana dispensaries.
During the 9:20 p.m. break, Councilman James Byrne and Ken Prather, the 48-year-old owner of Tehama Herbal Collective in Corning, began talking, Red Bluff Police Lt. Kyle Sanders said Wednesday.
At one point during the conversation, Byrne allegedly poked Prather in the chest, Sanders said.

Ban Of Medical Marijuana Use By Offender To Be Challenged |
|
Nov 05, 2009 - 12:58 PM - by User
|
OROVILLE -- An attorney said he will challenge a Butte County judge's order Tuesday barring a drug offender with heart disease from continuing to use medical marijuana while he is on probation, absent approval by a cardiologist.
Arthur Lee Jenkins, 48, of Concow contends the court ban conflicts with the voter's approval in 1996 allowing medical marijuana with a doctor's recommendation, which Jenkins possesses.
But the prosecutor points out the Concow man was convicted with nearly a dozen others in a purported scam to use the medical marijuana law as a cover to sell the drug for profit.

Campus Watch: Reefer Madness Leaves Officer In Headlock |

Two students at Quinnipiac University in Connecticut were arrested earlier this month for marijuana possession and breaching the peace, and one of their roommates was injured when a routine drug search turned ugly, according to collegenews.com.
Security came to the dorm room of Christopher Thompson at 2 a.m. on Oct. 18 after detecting a “heavy marijuana smell” and asked if they could enter to investigate. When Thompson, who lives in a dorm with three other male occupants, answered no, the security officers entered anyway. It was at this moment that the situation became a confusing mess.
Two of Thompson’s roommates were immediately woken up by the noise, and one of them, David Bowen,... [Read More]

Tulare County Board of Supervisors Weigh New Marijuana Rules |
|
Nov 05, 2009 - 12:35 PM - by User
|
The Tulare County Board of Supervisors next week could approve a group of ordinances regulating growers and dispensaries of medical marijuana as well as those who smoke the drug for medical purposes.
At least one dispensary operator said some portions of the ordinances go too far, including restrictions on where people can smoke medicinal marijuana and how many of the plants can be grown and stored. But those concerns may be moot since the ordinances — even if passed — may never be enforced.
On Oct. 19, the U.S. Attorney General's Office issued a memorandum telling federal law enforcement in states with medical marijuana laws — California included — to focus on... [Read More]

Letting the Science, Not the Politicians, Decide About Marijuana |

Nov 05, 2009 - 12:07 PM - by User

In the commotion surrounding the Obama administration's favorable recent medical marijuana policy memo, a crucial part of the story has gone untold: For decades, the federal government has effectively blocked the standard Food and Drug Administration (FDA) development process that would allow for the marijuana plant to be brought to market as a prescription medicine, and -- so far -- President Obama is continuing this policy.
This frustrating reality belies the recent pronouncements of pundits and policymakers implying that the FDA has already dismissed the medical benefits of marijuana or that proponents have simply failed to explore FDA approval. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Two Men Arrested In Medical Marijuana Robbery |

Two men have been arrested in connection with a medical marijuana robbery at an Oregon City home.
Clinton Boyd and James Giggy, both from Lakewood, Wash., were taken into custody at their apartment last week. They're accused in a robbery where a man was held at gunpoint and his three children were locked in a closet.
At about 8:30 a.m. Wednesday, the man heard someone knocking on his front door and proclaiming that his girlfriend had just sideswiped their vehicle, according to Oregon City police. When the man answered the door, three masked men, at least one of them armed with a handgun, rushed through the door, police said.
The victim said the three men ransacked the home, demanded... [Read More]

Editorial: Legislative Malpractice |
|
Nov 05, 2009 - 11:47 AM - by User

The nine Republicans and one Democrat in the state Senate who voted last week against overriding Gov. John Lynch’s veto of a bill to legalize medicinal marijuana have sent a clear message to people with glaucoma or undergoing chemotherapy who would benefit from smoking a bit of herb now and then: Just tough it out.
The bill would have made New Hampshire the 14th state to legalize marijuana use by severely ill people, establishing three nonprofit “compassion centers’’ to dispense 2 ounces of marijuana every 10 days to severely ill patients who have a doctor’s approval.
There were some legitimate concerns about the proposal. Indeed, Lynch, in his veto, listed some, such... [Read More]

San Diego Americans for Safe Access Rally to Urge Mayor Participation in Task Force |

As the San Diego Medical Marijuana Task Force (MMTF) prepares to meet on Friday November 6, 2009 for the fourth time to deliberate on regulations for the operation of medical marijuana collectives and cooperatives in the city, the Mayor o San Diego still refuses to sit down and work with patients and community members to come up with sensible regulations.
Although urged by members of the San Diego City Council and hundreds of patients, the Mayor, Chief of Police, and the District Attorney have refused to participate and have gone as far as insinuating that the laws we have in place are clear enough, and that there is no need for further clarification.
Majority of San Diego citizens do not agree. As... [Read More]

Despite a recent decision by the federal Justice Department to not prosecute medical marijuana users in states like California where it is legal by state law, Beaumont continues its tightening noose on the two distributors operating within its boundaries.
Oak Tree Alternative Care on 6th Street, and the Beaumont Patients Collective Association at 1140 Beaumont Ave. have been fined $1,000 a day by the city for zoning violations.
According to Beaumont Police Chief Frank Coe, "Beaumont will continue to seek all remedies to address the illegal sales of drugs and controlled substances within our city. The recent information released by the Obama Administration references a directive to the Drug... [Read More]

Grey Areas In Medical Pot Law Stoke Debate |

Michael Hawkins, a jolly looking man in loafers and a button down shirt, walks into King's Smoke Shop and asks for the cheapest pipe they've got.
Hawkins just came from one of five medical marijuana dispensaries that surround King's on the second-floor of a strip mall at Raymond Way and El Toro Road, and he's carrying a small paper bag containing cannabis called "OG Kush" – the type that he says stops his unbearable head aches and stimulates his appetite but doesn't make him feel high.
See, about a year and a half ago, doctors removed a tumor half the size of Hawkins' brain from his skull. In coming weeks, he'll start radiation to eliminate remnants of that tumor lodged behind his... [Read More]

San Jose Weighs Medical Pot Clinics |

They're all over the Bay Area -- from San Francisco to Santa Cruz. But medical marijuana patients in San Jose looking to fill a prescription won't have much luck finding a place to do it in the South Bay.
Now a San Jose councilman is floating a plan to make the city more welcoming for cannabis clinics, helping patients and the city's wallet at the same time.
San Jose Mayor Chuck Reed will hear a proposal Wednesday that would allow dispensaries to open in the city with strict rules and tax regulations.
City Councilman Pierluigi Oliverio's proposal was inspired by laws in other Bay Area cities.
"Allowing medical use of cannabis within city borders will bring... [Read More]

Legislation the Carmel Democrat plans to introduce this week, the Truth in Trials Act, seeks to commit the president's directive to law by making it tougher to prosecute people who smoke or sell pot for medical reasons in states where it is legal.
