Heated Prescription Pot Users To Prosecute County
Medical Marijuana users said they will sue the county over the closure of local pot shops. They’re angry because Sheriff Donny Youngblood, with the blessing of Board of Supervisors, has stopped issuing permits for the medical pot clinics. State law allows the clinics’ operation, but federal law does not. After a series of federal raids by the Drug Enforcement Agency this month alone, all six local clinics closed.

Kern Supervisors Search For Ways To Regulate MMJ
Kern County Supervisors will again struggle with the legal tangle over medical marijuana. Next week the board will review legal analysis from the County Counsel's office. Just one year ago, Kern County enacted regulations for medical marijuana dispensaries -- and Eyewitness News has investigated how the ordinance worked. Now the county has to revisit the issue after all the medical marijuana dispensaries closed, either because of raids by federal agents or voluntarily.

Police Double Talk
When federal agents busted down doors raiding medical marijuana dispensaries in Los Angeles in July, Los Angeles Police Department officers were their comrades in arms. The department's assistance in the raids infuriated some City Council members, who chastised them Wednesday for cooperating with the Drug Enforcement Agency and for enforcing federal drug laws that are in conflict with California's medical-marijuana law - and the will of the public.

Cannabis Minister Craig X Rubin Gives American Churches Warning After Conviction
“I don’t feel one ounce of remorse for the crime I am about to go to jail for. In fact, I continued to commit my supposed crime for 9 months after my arrest and no person’s health or safety in the State of California was compromised. My only crime is wanting to reach people of my community, stoners (the 420 Nation) with the Word of God.

Medical Marijuana Gains New Foe
A newly formed organization opposed to medical- marijuana dispensaries is urging local governments to prohibit the businesses. The Inland Valley Drug Free Community Coalition fears dispensaries will attract crime and increase illicit marijuana use by people who do not need the drug for medical reasons. "It will bring criminal activity, blight," said Brenda Chabot, the Rancho Cucamonga-based group's executive director. "Political leaders should have enough courage to say they don't want these in their communities."

Medical Marijuana Patients Argue For Right To Unlawfully Seized Property

Court Considers Medical Marijuana Seizures

New Marijuana Law Could Save Texas Taxpayers Millions - If Authorities Use It
A new law taking effect Sept. 1 could save Texas taxpayers millions of dollars by allowing police officers to cite individuals found in possession of four ounces or less of marijuana, rather than go through the time-consuming arrest and booking procedure (often involving a night or more in jail) that costs approximately $2,000 per arrest.

The Pot-Pushing "Terrorists" Under Your Bed
Well, what's old is new again. Faced with mounting public criticism over the Justice Department's decision to shutter several locally authorized California medical marijuana dispensaries, Drug Czar John Walters recently traveled to Northern California to oversee police efforts to eradicate clandestine marijuana crops growing on public lands, and to label California's pot farmers as "terrorists."

Nipping It In The Bud
Trudging through the rain, dressed in military fatigues and thick black boots, an eight-man task force filed through a large cornfield Wednesday morning, stalking a notorious and elusive culprit known to be hiding out in the area. What they were hunting was alive, but they knew it wouldn't run from them. It was marijuana.

Police Often Lack Basic Knowledge About Marijuana
Every year at this time, police around the country start excitedly notifying local papers that they're getting better and better at finding pot in the woods. It's a tiresome ritual, but reporters just love it, and it would never occur to them that the police sometimes don’t have a clue what they're talking about

Governor To Battle With Feds Over Marijuana Law

Friends Rally For Sick Man Charged With Pot Possession
Pro-medical-marijuana advocates rallied Monday for a Thornton man who has AIDS and Hepatitis B, but didn't register with the state to grow the pot he says keeps him alive. Jack Branson, 39, faces up to 12 years in prison, charged with cultivating and possessing marijuana with intent to distribute.

"Patients are under attack," argued Nathan Sands, a patients-rights advocate at Compassionate Coalition who’s fed up with the feds going after medicinal-marijuana users in California. “There’s a lot of collusion between state and federal governments. States have no more power,” and as a result patients with multiple sclerosis, AIDS, cancer, glaucoma and arthritis are being arrested.

Our Government's Marijuana Monopoly
Our federal government has a monopoly on the supply of marijuana for research or any other purpose. This is very unique, private sources of all other drugs are available to researchers. It is down right sinister, a crime against humanity, for the medicinal uses of cannabis to be suppressed.

North Dakota Sees Promise In Industrial Hemp
If you have any doubt that America's $45 billion-a-year drug war is a waste of money, an affront to our nation's liberties, and an exercise in zealous, bureaucratic goofiness — go talk to farmers in North Dakota.
