Happy Frikken New Year…

Posted by Dee at 1st January, 2008

I don’t want this to be a downer, because New Year’s Eve is my absolute favorite holiday of the year. New beginnings and all that (not to mention great parties!). But on this New Year’s day I’m a little bummed after reading some bleak news about the "war on drugs". According to Paul Armentano, the senior policy analyst for NORML:

America now spends nearly $50 billion dollars per year targeting, prosecuting, and incarcerating illicit-drug users. As a result, the population of illicit-drug offenders now behind bars is greater than the entire U.S. prison population in 1980. Since the mid 1990s, drug offenders have accounted for nearly 50 percent of the total federal prison population growth and some 40 percent of all state prison population growth. For marijuana alone, law enforcement currently spends between $7 billion and $10 billion dollars annually targeting users — primarily low-level offenders — and taxpayers spend more than $1 billion annually to incarcerate them.

Read the full article here. And in spite of that, drug use is virtually UNCHANGED. It makes me so mad I could spit, to think of the idiots that run this country - Democrats and Republicans alike. Aren’t they getting tired yet of beating their heads against a brick wall that won’t go away? I keep waiting and waiting for someone to GET A CLUE.

Marijuana Conspiracy

Posted by Dee at 24th October, 2007

This is a really good video, but you definitely don’t want to watch it while you’re high. The information is fascinating - but in a very dry kind of way (think 8th grade Social Studies class). The narrator’s voice is hypnotic (read: monotonous, lol). I totally zoned out the first time I tried to watch this.

Don’t get me wrong though, there’s some good info here if you’re into facts and figures about the origins of all the propaganda surrounding weed prohibition. The first few minutes are easy for anyone to stay awake for. Starts out with a great song by Jack Black aka Tenacious D, if I’m not mistaken.

Cops + Pot Don’t Mix

How to Pass a Drug Test Lesson One: Don’t call 911 and say you’re high. What an amateur.

The really funny part is that since he was fired from the police force this poor guy has lost his source - which was stealing weed from the citizens of Detroit.

Pot Porn

Posted by Dee at 30th May, 2007

Looked at one way, this is a horrible waste of (presumably, hopefully) good pot. Looked at another way… It’s like every pot smoker’s wet dream come true (pun unintended, but what the hey). So what about it - do you think a 41-gram joint would be too hot for you to handle…?

Henderson, NV Law Enforcement: Guilty of Criminal Ignorance

Posted by Dee at 24th May, 2007

Police in Henderson, NV charged a man with DUI after they gave him a blood test and found evidence of marijuana in his system.

Apparently it doesn’t matter to them that finding traces of pot in your system means you may have smoked pot a MONTH ago, and that it has absolutely no relation at all to whether or not you’re currently under the influence.

If this poor guy gets a good lawyer he should be able to beat this, but… Who knows? Maybe the judges in Nevada are just as ignorant as the police there.

Medical marijuana patient charged with DUI

A Henderson man faces DUI charges, but he says he’s done nothing wrong. That’s because he is a legal medical marijuana patient.

Reggie Morgan has liver cancer that is in remission, but he says he is still in a lot of pain, so he smokes marijuana to ease the discomfort. He says he has all the paperwork to make it legal - a doctors note, a letter from the Department of Agriculture, even a medical marijuana ID card.

Recently he was pulled over by a state trooper and charged with driving under the influence. We spoke with Metro police about this issue; they say legal or not, no one under the influence of drugs should be behind the wheel.

“He needs to stay home and tend to his medical issues, not being out driving putting you and me and my families at risk,” said Metro Sgt. Phillip George.

NHP took a blood sample from Morgan and it showed marijuana in his system. Morgan says he was not under the influence at the time and that the drug would turn up in his system from prior use.
