A furious driver who rammed a van to escape after his family was threatened by 'bully boy' clampers has been cleared of dangerous driving.
Nurse Tim Brooks and his wife Lindsay were terrified for the safety of their six-year-old daughter after a hammer wielding clamper climbed in the back seat with her.
Brooks, aged 28, drove his Land Rover Discovery away with the clamp still on its wheel and rammed the clamper's van four times after it blocked him in. A furious driver who rammed a van to escape after his family was threatened by 'bully boy' clampers has been cleared of dang... more -
Conservatives should oppose federal prosecution of medical marijuana providers
When Owen Beck was 17, doctors amputated his right leg to stop the spread of bone cancer. His parents, desperate to find a drug that would relieve their son's excruciating phantom limb pain, brought him to Charlie Lynch's medical marijuana dispensary in Morro Bay, California, carrying a recommendation from a Stanford University oncologist. The marijuana not only eased the pain but also alleviated the nausea caused by chemotherapy.
Called to testify as a character witness in Lynch's federal marijuana trial, Beck did not get far. When he mentioned his cancer, U.S. District Judge George Wu cut him off and sent him packing. Wu decreed there would be no talk of the symptoms marijuana relieves, no references to California's recognition of marijuana as a medicine, no mention even of the phrase medical marijuana in front of the jury.
In short, there would be no explanation of how Lynch came to operate what prosecutors called a "marijuana store" in downtown Morro Bay for a year, openly serving more than 2,000 customers. Under federal law, which forbids marijuana use for any purpose, all that was irrelevant. So it's hardly surprising that Lynch was convicted last week of five marijuana-related offenses that carry penalties of five to 85 years in prison.
Nor is it surprising that so many self-described conservatives, including Republican presidential candidate John McCain, support the prosecution of people like Charlie Lynch, abandoning their avowed federalist principles because of blind hostility toward a plant they associate with draft-dodging, flag-burning hippies. It's not surprising, but it's shameful.
The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration has raided more than 60 medical marijuana dispensaries in the last two years. Because the deck is stacked against them, dispensary operators facing federal drug charges typically plead guilty.
Lynch instead gambled on a defense known as entrapment by estoppel, which occurs when someone is arrested for actions the government assured him were legal. Before he opened Central Coast Compassionate Caregivers in 2006, Lynch called the DEA to ask about his legal exposure. He says an agent told him he should consult with state and local authorities, which he took to mean he could avoid trouble as long as he complied with state and local law.
It's not hard to see why Lynch believed he was operating a legitimate business. He had the blessing of the Morro Bay Chamber of Commerce and the city council; local officials, including Morro Bay's mayor, posed for pictures at the dispensary's opening; and neither his neighbors nor the city police objected.
At Lynch's trial the DEA denied giving him any sort of green light, or even a yellow one. But the response he says he got from the agency is the response he should have gotten, because under the U.S. Constitution the medical use of marijuana is a local matter.
At one time John McCain seemed to acknowledge as much. In April 2007 he said, "I will let states decide that issue." But he quickly abandoned that position, and this year he said he'd continue the DEA's medical marijuana raids, declaring, "It is a national issue and not a [state] issue." By contrast, McCain's Democratic opponent, Barack Obama, has promised to stop the raids.
McCain's medical marijuana position contradicts his professed allegiance to federalism. "The federal government was intended to have limited scope," he says on his website, vowing to appoint judges who "respect the proper role of local and state governments."
That commitment is inconsistent with reading Congress' power to regulate interstate commerce broadly enough to cover homegrown medical marijuana, as the Supreme Court did in 2005. "If Congress can regulate this under the Commerce Clause," Justice Clarence Thomas noted in his dissent, "it can regulate virtually anything—and the Federal Government is no longer one of limited and enumerated powers." When Owen Beck was 17, doctors amputated his right leg to stop the spread of bone cancer. His parents, desperate to find a drug that w... more -
Tough-on-drugs policy 'pointless'
Britain's policy of being tough on drugs is "pointless", says a former civil servant who once ran the Cabinet's anti-drugs unit.
Julian Critchley now believes the best way to reduce the harm to society from drugs would be to legalise them.
Mr Critchley, who worked with ex-Labour drug tsar Keith Hellawell, said many he had worked alongside felt the same.
They publicly backed government policy but privately believed it was not doing any good, he said.
War on drugs
He told BBC Radio 4's Today programme in a media-driven age it was difficult to present a case on what was a complex issue.
He said: "It's much easier to come out with soundbites about being tough on drugs and continuing to crack down on drug dealers when in actual fact we know that doesn't work."
FROM THE TODAY PROGRAMME
More from Today programme
Ten years ago, the Cabinet Office's Anti-Drug Co-ordination Unit was at the heart of the war on drugs in the UK, co-ordinating policy across all government departments.
Mr Hellawell, the controversial former police chief who went on to accuse Labour ministers of "closing their eyes" to the drugs problem, was appointed in 1998 as the public face of the government's war on drugs. Mr Critchley worked behind the scenes as the unit's director.
In a response to an entry about drugs on BBC home editor Mark Easton's blog, the former senior civil servant wrote that when he started work in the field he did not favour decriminalisation, but as time went on he changed his mind.
"I joined the unit more or less agnostic on drugs policy, being personally opposed to drug use, but open-minded about the best way to deal with the problem. I was certainly not inclined to decriminalise," he said.
But he soon came to the view that enforcement of the law was "largely pointless" and had "no significant, lasting impact on the availability, affordability or use of drugs", he said.
Market 'saturated'
Mr Critchley went on to argue that wishing drug use away was "folly" and that there was "no doubt" there would be a fall in crime as a result of legalisation.
The idea that many people are holding back solely because of a law which they know is already unenforceable is simply ridiculous
Julian Critchley
Former senior civil servant
"The argument always put forward against this is that there would be a commensurate increase in drug use as a result of legalisation," he said.
"This, it seems to me, is a bogus point: tobacco is a legal drug, whose use is declining, and precisely because it is legal, its users are far more amenable to government control, education programmes and taxation than they would be were it illegal."
Studies showed the market was already almost saturated with drugs, he said, and anyone who wished to purchase the drug of their choice could already do so.
"The idea that many people are holding back solely because of a law which they know is already unenforceable is simply ridiculous," he said.
He also said the "overwhelming majority of professionals" he met, including those from the police, the health service, government and voluntary sectors, held the same view.
"Yet publicly, all those intelligent, knowledgeable people were forced to repeat the nonsensical mantra that the government would be 'tough on drugs', even though they all knew that the government's policy was actually causing harm."

Ex-drugs policy director calls for legalisation
A former senior civil servant who was responsible for coordinating the government's anti-drugs policy now believes that legalisation would be less harmful than the current strategy. Julian Critchley, the former director of the Cabinet Office's anti-drugs unit, also said that his views were shared by the "overwhelming majority" of professionals in the field, including police officers, health workers and members of the government.
He also claimed that New Labour's policy on drugs was based on what was thought would play well with the Daily Mail readership, regardless of evidence of what worked. Downing Street policy advisers were said to have suggested stunts such as sending boats down the Thames to catch smugglers to coincide with policy announcements.
Critchley - not be to be confused with the late Tory MP of the same name - was director of the UK Anti-Drug Coordination Unit in the Cabinet Office, with the job of coordinating government policy across departments and supporting the then drugs Tsar, Keith Hellawell. In a contribution to the debate on the "war on drugs" on a BBC website, Critchley spelled out his reasons for now supporting legalisation and claimed the government's position is hypocritical. Yesterday Critchley, who is now a teacher, confirmed that the blog posting accurately conveyed his views.
"I joined the unit more or less agnostic on drugs policy, being personally opposed to drug use, but open-minded about the best way to deal with the problem," he wrote on the blog. "I was certainly not inclined to decriminalise. However, during my time in the unit, as I saw more and more evidence of 'what works', to quote New Labour's mantra of the time, it became apparent to me that ... enforcement and supply-side interventions were largely pointless. They have no significant, lasting impact on the availability, affordability or use of drugs."
He said that his views were widely held in the government but rarely expressed in public. "I think what was truly depressing about my time in UKADCU was that the overwhelming majority of professionals I met, including those from the police, the health service, the government and voluntary sectors held the same view: the illegality of drugs causes far more problems for society and the individual than it solves. Yet publicly, all those intelligent, knowledgeable people were forced to repeat the nonsensical mantra that the government would be 'tough on drugs', even though they all knew the government's policy was actually causing harm."
Critchley believed that the benefits to society of the fall in crime as a result of legalisation would be dramatic. "Tobacco is a legal drug, whose use is declining, and precisely because it is legal, its users are far more amenable to government control, education programmes and taxation." Anyone who wished to purchase the drug of their choice could already do so. "The idea that many people are holding back solely because of a law which they know is already unenforceable is simply ridiculous."
His intervention was welcomed yesterday by drugs law reformers. "Julian Critchley is one of the brave few to tell the truth about the failure of prohibition and the need to replace it with a system of regulation," said Danny Kushlick, of the Transform Drug Policy Foundation. "It is truly shameful that there are so many more who know that the war on drugs is overwhelmingly counterproductive, and yet continue to remain silent, tacitly endorsing a policy that they know creates misery, degradation and death for millions across the globe."

Lawmakers approve bill restricting sale of some types of cough medicines to minors
WHITE PLAINS - Westchester County lawmakers last night approved a bill restricting the sale of some types of cough medicines after reports of abuse by young people and a more serious case involving a crash that killed a Yonkers man.
The county Board of Legislators followed Nassau and Suffolk counties in trying to make it more difficult for minors -those younger than 18 -to buy cough medicines that contain Dexotromethorphan, or DXM, which can cause out-of-body sensations and hallucinations if taken in large quantities in either pill or syrup form.
The bill was passed unanimously. As part of the measure, a penalty of up to $150 could be imposed.
"There is a huge interest in protecting our teenagers and our kids," said Judy Myers, D-Mamaroneck, the bill's sponsor. "The intent is to help educate children on the practice of 'robotripping.' "
"Robotripping" - from the popular brand-name Robitussin - is when people take large amounts of cough medicine for recreational purposes. Often, it is mixed to enhance the effects of alcohol or other drugs.
Overdosing on DXM can cause vomiting, seizures, high blood pressure, fainting, coma and death, public health officials warn.
A Westchester survey found that 5 percent to 9 percent of 3,241 middle-schoolers reported having used cough syrup or cold medicine to get high, according to Student Assistance Services, which provides drug and alcohol counseling to the county's school districts.
Many drugstore chains already have voluntarily implemented programs that put restrictions on sales of DXM medications to people younger than 18 years old.
In March, Mohd Shreiqein, 21, of Pleasantville was sent to prison for causing a fatal crash on Sprain Road while he was high on cough medicine.
He was charged with negligent homicide for the death of Anthony Vieiro, 87, a World War II veteran from Yonkers.
At last night's public hearing, Vieiro's daughter, Linda Vieiro Minozzi, said too many parents are "in the dark" about "robotripping."
"It's time for us to take the blinders off," she said. "It's a shame my father had to die for this. Why hasn't anybody educated us about this?"
She implored Westchester to follow other counties that have similar restrictions.
Mandy Hagan, representing the Consumer Healthcare Association, also supported the bill. Although the industry has been more active in educating the public, age-restricted limitations also shed light on the matter, she said.
Legislator Ken Jenkins, D-Yonkers, said the case was pretty clear.
"The facts of the matter is somebody got killed on Sprain (Road) while he was 'robotripping,' " Jenkins said. "It is an important thing to support."

Drug policy agency misleads on marijuana
Any discussion of the Office of National Drug Control Policy's claim that today's marijuana is more potent than in the past ("Boomers, beware: Pot more potent now," July 28) must be prefaced by the fact the agency routinely lies about marijuana.
Case in point: A recent report by the agency claimed frequent marijuana ingestion doubles a teen's risk of depression and anxiety.
When questioned about the agency's claim that "using marijuana can cause depression and other mental illnesses," drug czar John Walters admitted there is no proof one leads to another.
Similarly, the claim "marijuana potency is not the same as it was in the 1970s" goes "up in smoke." Researchers at the University of New South Wales, National Drug and Alcohol Research Centre, examined the potency of more than 100,000 pot seizures from around the world, concluding, "Claims made in the public domain about a 20- or 30-fold increase in cannabis potency and about the adverse mental health effects of cannabis contamination are not supported currently by the evidence."
According to their report, in the United States, tetrahydrocannabinol levels of cannabis have risen slightly over the last 25 years, from about 1 percent to 4 percent.
Yes, today there is much more potent pot available to consumers who can afford it but - speaking from the perspective of a citizen of "Woodstock Nation" - it was also available "back in the day." Anyone remember Thai Stick? The potency myth is the cornerstone of the government's misbegotten 70-year-old war on marijuana. It's time for a reality check.

The high cost of the death penalty
Having noticed that, following several different articles, comments made in response expressed the ardent wish to have criminals executed rather than give them life sentences, and some saying that executing criminals costs less than keeping them in jail for life, I am posting a link to this website which explains in detail why and how capital punishment is far more expensive than life in prison. Thus, many more of your tax dollars are spent on killing criminals than on keeping them in jail for life. It also has absolutely no deterrent value whatsoever - on the contrary, it is often the ultimate and most gratifying and orgasmic payoff for many of those who want to die, as in suicide by police, and, as such, encourages many mentally sick individuals to commit crimes which will lead to their being executed precisely because that is where it will lead them.
Click on the picture to access that website.
There are also links which give 10 reasons to oppose the death penalty. One that seems not to be listed is the fact that, despite confessions, despite thorough investigations, there is still the risk of executing an innocent person, which still happens. Also, executing a criminal is an extremely cruel punishment wreaked on the innocent members of the criminal's family, especially his or her children.
As far as I am concerned, the death penalty is simply government-sponsored murder, unworthy of civilized countries and people. It actually negates all claims of being civilized. It has nothing to do with justice and everything to do with, and caters to, one of the very worst and most primitive flaws of humans, and basest of human instincts - vengeance.
Since for so many, their pocket-books and tax-dollars seem to be more important than basic human values, perhaps the financial aspect of capital punishment might convince them that it is wrong and not economic at all. For the rest, this is the least of the valid arguments against capital punishment.

Jails are full of mental patients
By Mbena Mwanatongoni
A forensic psychiatrist is making a worrying revelation: About one-third of inmates in Tanzanian jails are mentally ill! The situation worsens because there is no policy to treat these prisoners who badly need psychiatric attention!
Renown Dr. Augustine Godman charges in an exclusive interview:
``A policy to allow psychiatrists get into jails in a bid to treat mentally sick inmates will drastically reduce crimes in the country although it might sound difficult to believe this.``
Dr. Godman suggests a number of solutions to redress the appalling situation.These include an intensive investment in training psychiatrists which he says is currently conspicuously absent, Government acknowledgement of the prominence of those professionals and availability of resources.
The middle-aged psychiatrist has spent most of his time in study in an area that he calls his preserve and which he says is highly stigmatised.
``Many people look down upon any mentally deranged persons, although I cannot dismiss that there are few sympathetic ones,`` he says.
He adds: ``These few sympathetic ones should be cause for putting emphasis on training of professionals in this particular area of study.``
Saying he is the only forensic psychiatrist in Tanzania, he is presently engaged in private practice after leaving public service for what he says stemmed from poor pay and non-recognition.
However, he does not apportion blame, save for the absence of a policy to train specialists in that vital area of study, citing the US which is heavily investing in it despite estimates that only about 20 per cent of its population are affected by mental disorders.
``If a country boasting of many psychiatrists has a fifth of its population suffering from mental illnesses, what about ours with a much higher infection rate but without specialists ?
This is a serious issue that needs to be looked into with all the necessary keenness and attention,`` he proposes.
Adds the consultant psychiatrist-cum-addiction expert: ``Do you know that it is a wrong approach to uproot bhang crops from farms?
Has it ever crossed your mind that these growers never smoke it but only cultivate it to make money?
It is a kind of a cash crop to them and the most appropriate answer is to give them an alternative means of making money.
The same goes for `gongo` illicit brew. The brewers do not drink it. To them it is a money-spinner.``
He concedes, though, that it will take a long time to have things moving in a direction that aims at controlling mental illnesses in the country considering the little importance attached to it.
The ministry of Health and Social Welfare during this financial year will through Mirembe Special Hospital for the sick offer improved treatment and investigation to the mental patients referred there from different hospitals in the country.
Health Minister Professor David Mwakyusa told Parliament when tabling his ministry`s estimates that the hospital will also improve its services to drug addicts and alcoholics through public awareness campaigns as well as capacity facilitation to regional hospitals for early identification of drug victims.
He said Isanga Institute too will improve its services for the mentally sick who have committed criminal offences who upon recovery would be discharged.
He said Regional Social Welfare Officers would be involved to assist in tailoring a procedure that will eventually allow these people to be integrated back into society.
Dr. Godman says the annual prevalence of mental disorders in children and adolescents is not well documented due to the absence of specialists for the stigmatised illness. By Mbena Mwanatongoni ... more -

The United States is now occupying Lakota country illegally, in violation of the 1868 Treaty of Fort Laramie, which granted the Lakota control of the Black Hills in western South Dakota.

The life expectancy for Lakota women is 47; for a man, it's 44. After 155 years of genocide, our way of life is on the brink of extinction.

Legalize Every Drug
By JOHN STOSSEL, Creators Syndicate, Inc.
June 18, 2008
The other day, reading the New York Post's Page Six gossip page, I was surprised to find a picture of me, followed by the lines: "ABC's John Stossel wants the government to stop interfering with your right to get high. ... The crowd went silent at his call to legalize hard drugs."
I had attended a Marijuana Policy Project event celebrating the New York State Assembly's passage of a medical-marijuana bill. (The bill hasn't yet passed the Senate.)
I told the audience I thought it pathetic that the mere half passage of a bill to allow sick people to try a possible remedy would merit such a celebration.
Of course medical marijuana should be legal. For adults, everything should be legal. I'm amazed that the health police are so smug in their opposition.
After years of reporting on the drug war, I'm convinced that this "war" does more harm than any drug.

History of Medical Cannabis
Cannabis was a part of the American pharmacopoeia until 1942 and is currently available by prescription in the Netherlands, Canada, Spain, and Italy in its whole plant form.
In 1937, the U.S. passed the first federal law against cannabis, despite the objections of the American Medical Association (AMA). Dr. William C. Woodward, testifying on behalf of the AMA, told Congress that, "The American Medical Association knows of no evidence that marijuana is a dangerous drug" and warned that a prohibition "loses sight of the fact that future investigation may show that there are substantial medical uses for Cannabis."
Ironically, the U.S. federal government currently grows and provides cannabis for a small number of patients. In 1976 the federal government created the Investigational New Drug (IND) compassionate access research program to allow patients to receive up to nine pounds of cannabis from the government each year. Today, five surviving patients still receive medical cannabis from the federal government, paid for by federal tax dollars.
In 1988, the DEA's Chief Administrative Law Judge, Francis L. Young, ruled after extensive hearings that, "Marijuana, in its natural form, is one of the safest therapeutically active substances known... It would be unreasonable, arbitrary and capricious for the DEA to continue to stand between those sufferers and the benefits of this substance..." Yet the DEA refused to implement this ruling based on a procedural technicality and resists rescheduling to this day.
In 1989, the FDA was flooded with new applications from people with HIV/AIDS. In June 1991, the Public Health Service announced that the program would be suspended because it undermined federal prohibition. Despite this successful medical program and centuries of documented safe use, cannabis is still classified in America as a Schedule I substanceâ€"indicating a high potential for abuse and no accepted medical value. Healthcare advocates have tried to resolve this contradiction through legal and administrative channels to no avail.
In 1996, patients and advocates turned to the state level for access, passing voter initiatives in California and Arizona that allowed for legal use of cannabis with a doctor's recommendation. These victories were followed by the passage of similar initiatives in Alaska, Washington, Oregon, Colorado, Maine, Montana, Nevada, and Washington D.C. The legislatures of Hawaii, Rhode Island, Maryland and Vermont have also acted on behalf of their citizens, and every legislative session sees more bills introduced at the state level across the country.
In 1997, The Office of National Drug Control Policy commissioned the Institute of Medicine (IOM) to conduct a comprehensive study of the medical efficacy of cannabis therapeutics. The IOM concluded that cannabis is a safe and effective medicine, patients should have access, and the government should expand avenues for research and drug development. The federal government has completely ignored its findings and refused to act on its recommendations.
Despite the federal barriers to research, hundreds of peer-reviewed studies have been published worldwide since the IOM report. While there is still much to learn, the medical potential is indisputable for a variety of symptoms and conditions.
In 1997, the Federal government began a campaign to arrest and prosecute medical cannabis patients and their providers. These raids resulted in two Supreme Court Cases, OCBC and Gonzales v. Raich. In each of these cases the Justices found that the Federal law and state law can exist in conflict and that the federal government could continue their campaign against medical cannabis patients if they so choose. However, the Justices questioned "the wisdom' of going after patients and their providers and called on Congress to change the current laws to allow for medical use.
