Colorado: DEA raids medical marijuana lab

http://www.examiner.com/x-37449-Fort-Collins-Courts-Examiner~y2010m1d29-Colorado-Medical-Marijuana-Dispensaries-Will-MMDs-Survive-Federal-Prohibition

Earlier this week, Federal drug enforcement agents raided a Denver lab that does potency testing for dispensaries. The lab is also designated as a caregiver for several medical-marijuana patients in the state. While a number of medical-marijuana samples were taken, there is apparently an ongoing investigation despite neither confirmation nor denial by the Feds. Such an action is raising a maelstrom among medical-pot advocates who are relying on U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder’s assurances that federal agents would not interfere with medical dispensaries that complied with state marijuana laws.

Puzzling individuals on both sides of the debate, surrounds the emergence of medical-marijuana dispensaries and whether or not they will survive federal prohibitions under the Controlled Substances Act which makes pot illegal as a Schedule I drug – a law that has drawn much criticism from the pot-advocate community as being without rational merit yet posing severe indifference toward patients whom, they claim, benefit from medical-marijuana treatment.

A big legal question for many, then, is “How will medical-marijuana dispensaries, in what are a state permitted business and a form of intrastate commerce, past muster if a legal battle ensues between Colorado (and states with similar laws on their books) and the Federal Government?” If the Feds change their position and begin to enforce federal law so as to close down the dispensaries, a major piece of litigation will very likely ignite thus to test the viability of state medical-marijuana laws versus the Controlled Substances Act. As long as the federal law is not amended, the illegality of medical-marijuana on the federal level will continue to persist.(more at link)

Student-initiated Clubs are Raising Funds and Awareness in our Community and Beyond

On a daily basis, CRMS students, despite their hectic school schedules, are reaching out and helping those less fortunate or simply in need of assistance. From Operation Smile and Face AIDS to Soles 4 Souls and Random Acts of Kindness, CRMS student-initiated clubs and efforts are raising funds and awareness in our community and beyond. Most recently there has been a tremendous amount of student interest in global humanitarian causes, and our clubs reflects this social awareness.

OPERATION SMILE
Two years ago, seniors Olivia Mertz and Mima Strong began an Operation Smile fundraising chapter on the CRMS campus. Operation Smile is a global organization that provides free surgeries to cleft-palate children around the world. Since its inception in 1982, Operation Smile has given over 135,000 children a new chance at life by providing them with safe, effective reconstructive surgery to correct their facial deformities. Utilizing All School Meetings as a platform to raise awareness surrounding this organization and bake sales as their key fundraising mechanism, their club enjoys 11 student members, has raised over $2,200, and has funded eight cleft-palate surgeries.

FACE AIDS
Last year, junior Katie Grant was inspired by a passage she read in her sophomore history class from Mountains Beyond Mountains, which chronicled Dr. Paul Farmer’s decades of service in Haiti and Africa treating patients with tuberculosis and AIDS. After much research and thought over the summer, Katie discovered Face AIDS, a student-based organization dedicated to mobilizing and inspiring students to fight AIDS in Africa, with 100 percent of the proceeds going to Dr. Farmers non-profit organization, Partners In Health (PIH). Since 2005, Face AIDS has raised over $1.4 million for PIH to fight AIDS in Africa via their income generating projects with HIV associations in Rwanda.

Katie debuted the new CRMS Face AIDS chapter at the beginning of this school year, and recently gave an inspiring all-school presentation encouraging our community with the following advice, “Sometimes what stirs your passion doesn’t have a pre-existing structure. Sometimes you have to be the one to begin. When you find a cause that touches you, it becomes easy to dedicate yourself to it.” She finished her presentation with the following advice, “With the coming holiday season, and a seemingly endless supply of food and gifts, it can become easy to forget how fortunate we are. This can be a time when we take our good fortune for granted, or we can use the holiday spirit to appreciate what we have, and to share it with others.” To-date the CRMS Face AIDS chapter has raised over $500 and recruited 23 members.
