Horizon - Cannabis. The Evil Weed.
Cannabis is the world's favourite drug, but also one of the least understood. Can
cannabis cause schizophrenia? Is it addictive? Can it lead you on to harder drugs? Or
is it simply a herb, an undervalued medicine?
Addiction specialist Dr John Marsden discovers that modern science is finally beginning
to find answers to these questions. John traces the cannabis plants' birthplace in
Kazakhstan; finds the origins of our sensitivity to cannabis in the simple sea squirt;
and shows just what it does to our brains.
He meets people who have been changed by this drug in drastically different ways - from
those whose lives have been shattered to those who lives have been revived.

Allman on vacation in the war in Kosavo fighting for the Albanian mujaheddin in 1999
AG Holder's medical pot dispensary remarks analyzed
By ZACK CINEK The Daily Journal
Updated: 02/28/2009 12:03:16 AM PST
Recent remarks by new United States Attorney General Eric Holder at a Wednesday press conference have the AG on the record in response to a question on medical marijuana dispensaries.
"Right after the inauguration, there was some raids in California of medical marijuana dispensaries....was that a deliberate decision by you, by the Justice Department? Is that a prediction of policy going forward? Do you expect those sorts of raids to continue, based on what the President said during the campaign," according to a transcript from the U.S. Department of Justice.
"Well, what the president said during the campaign, you will be surprised to know, will be consistent with what we will be doing here in law enforcement. He was my boss during the campaign. He is formally and technically and by law my boss now, and so what he said during the campaign is now American policy," the transcript stated.
What exactly Holder said Obama was talking about during his campaign is up for interpretation.
Herban Legend is a marijuana dispensary located on the Mendocino Coast, and the "federal government appears to be leaving it up to local jurisdiction," Paula Deeter, of Herban Legend said Friday.
The Sheriff's Office is in closer relation to California Attorney General Jerry Brown's Office than it is to Holder's office.
"He (AG Brown) has said, aside from 11 pages of guidelines that are on our Web site, that he is waiting to hear from the United States Attorney General and the Kelly case," Mendocino County Sheriff Tom Allman said.
"I would love for it (the Kelly decision) to come out in March," said Allman.
Allman said that there has not been a lot of focus on dispensaries from the Sheriff's Office because there have not been a lot of complaints.
"Legal medical marijuana will continue to be respected in Mendocino County," Allman said.Allman on vacation in the war in Kosavo fighting for the Albanian mujaheddin in 1999... more

The "War on Drugs" does many things, including 1) put people who grow plants deemed illegal by the United States Government in jail, 2) Deliberately funnel extremely harmful drugs to poor neighborhoods via government agencies, which has now come to light due to officers coming forward (research LEAP: Law Enforcement Against Prohibition) 3) Turns human beings that have been put in jail due to marijuana use into private property, using them as free, or insanely cheap labor to produce products, or as they called it 300 years ago, slavery. and 4) Puts insanely large amounts of money into the hands of insanely evil, racist, and morally corrupt people...and those are the nice guys.The "War on Drugs" does many things, including 1) put people who grow plants... more

"Jacksonville Jaguars receiver Reggie Williams, a former Washington Huskies standout, was charged with driving under the influence and possession of marijuana after being arrested during a traffic stop at about 2 a.m. Friday.
John Cannon, Houston police-department spokesman, said the 25-year-old Williams was arrested after officers smelled alcohol on his breath and a "strong odor" of marijuana in his vehicle. A search of the vehicle revealed a small amount of marijuana in its console, Cannon said.

OVERVIEW:
In the past three decades there has been an explosion of international research to investigate the therapeutic value of cannabis (marijuana). In the United States, research is stalled, and in some cases blocked, by a complicated federal approval process and restricted access to research-grade cannabis. Meanwhile, research teams in Great Britain, Spain, Italy, Israel, and elsewhere have confirmed – through case studies, basic research, pre-clinical, and clinical investigations – the medical value of cannabis.
Despite the fact that federal law clearly requires adequate competition in the manufacture of Schedule I and II substances, since 1968 the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) has maintained a monopoly on the supply of cannabis used for legitimate research purposes. The Drug Enforcement Administration helps to protect NIDA’s monopoly by refusing to grant competitive licenses for the production of research-grade cannabis. In February 2007, U.S. Department of Justice-appointed Administrative Law Judge Mary Ellen Bittner issued an Opinion and Recommended Ruling which concluded that granting competitive licenses would be in the public interest. However, the Bush Administration took no action, and the Administrative Recommendation is still pending.
A scientific consensus supports the therapeutic use of cannabis to control symptoms of serious and chronic illness. In the past decade, clinical research has clearly demonstrated that the use of cannabis, and its constituents, can safely and effectively treat symptoms of serious and chronic illness like nausea and vomiting, loss of appetite, pain and spasticity. Indeed, a growing body of literature suggests that cannabis may hold the key to unlocking an array of treatments for HIV/AIDS, Multiple Sclerosis, and even cancer.
Despite overwhelming evidence which supports the therapeutic use of cannabis, federal law strictly prohibits its use, even for medical purposes. In 2002, the United States Supreme Court, in Conant v. McCaffrey, upheld a decision by the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals that physicians have a fundamental right to recommend the use of cannabis to their patients. Unfortunately, outdated federal policies make safe and legal access to cannabis next to impossible. Most patients have to break the law and place themselves (or their caregivers) in unnecessary and potentially harmful entanglements with the illicit market in order to gain access to cannabis legally recommended by their physician.
In contrast, thirteen states have passed laws which permit individuals living with a serious or chronic illness to use and obtain cannabis from authorized caregivers as recommended by a licensed physician without legal sanction. However, these state laws differ from the federal law and leave patients and their providers vulnerable to federal raids, arrest, and prosecution.
Since the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Gonzales v. Raich, which did not invalidate state medical cannabis laws, state and local governments have been working overtime to ensure the governance and oversight of the cultivation and distribution of medical cannabis in accordance with state law. Unfortunately, the proper implementation of state medical cannabis laws is stymied by federal interference. The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) in conjunction with the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has conducted scores of enforcement raids and employed intimidation tactics designed to undermine the effective implementation of state and local law.OVERVIEW:

Last week in Fort Bragg you made a terrible mistake that changed how many of us feel about you. When Measure B was voted in most people did not expect you to become violent terrorist as you have. We are a community and the way you attacked members of our community last week shows that you care more about your jobs than you care about our community
You pulled guns on GOOD people for NO REASON! Why?
You need to apologize for what you did to Missy and her family and resign.
Missy is a 40yo mother of 4. She owns a hair sallon in our town. She had 24 plants. The Police pulled guns on her and her elderly father. WE ARE OUT RAGED.
CPS came and told the abusive deputes to quit berating her in front of her children, When she was taken to jail she was put in a cell across from a pervert who jacked off watching her.
Sheriff Allman, You need to apologize for what you did to Missy and her family and resign.

Become an ASA Ambassador
In case you didn't know - the actions we take in the next few months are going to help shape the medical cannabis policies of President Obama over the next four to eight years. There's a ton of excitement and many possibilities are staring us right in the face. Anything can happen in the next few years, so you need to make a choice: are you going to be a part of it or will you stay on the side and let other people take control of this movement? Get prepared to meet the challenges that these opportunities will present. How? Become an ASA Ambassador.
To change federal law, it'll take a commitment from every one of us. ASA invites you to make that commitment by joining our campaign for 2009: MAKE IT SAFE. MAKE IT LEGAL. MAKE IT HAPPEN!
Sign up now as an ASA Ambassador! Send an email to Feedback@SafeAccessNow.org with your name, address, and phone number to receive your Ambassador Packet.
What is an ASA Ambassador?
Ambassadors are a representatives to their communities for all of our campaigns to provide safe access to medical cannabis for patients and research.
Ambassadors are the “go-between” for ASA’s campaigns and their own communities. New Ambassadors are added to national, state, and local ASA lists to stay on top of action in their area and nation-wide. They're obligated to participate in the Actions that are sent over these lists, and to send them off to other supporters and encourage them to take action, as well. Ambassadors send ASA actions to family, friends, political or social clubs, support groups, or other networks.
Ambassadors are liaisons to elected officials. ASA often targets specific lawmakers or other officials for action at the state and federal level. These targets may sit on important Congressional committees, be part of government agencies, or able to support our goals in other ways. Ambassadors in target districts are often asked to set up meetings with elected officials. This is an important role to play as an ASA Ambassador.
When these requests occur, you will be provided all the documents and preparation you need. These meetings are quick and painless, and are a chance to introduce yourself as a member of the ASA community. You’ll be working in tandem with the same policymakers as ASA’s Government Affairs Office in Washington, D.C. Constituent meetings are critical, so in addition to getting support from ASA for these meetings, you’ll be giving support to ASA’s D.C. staff, as well.Become an ASA Ambassador
