Family Terrorized by Police!!!

dmonie@hotmail.com — Thu, 06 May 2010 00:00:00 +0100

A story out of Columbia MO has me wondering where cops got their information. A family home was raided in the evening hours by SWAT on suspicion of distributing marijuana. They found a grinder, a pipe and a small amount of pot. The disturbing part, the SWAT team shot their dogs and the occupants 7 year old child was present. Then they charged the father with child endangerment. A fully armed SWAT team uses a weapon to kill animals and this man is charged.& [...]

California On The Right Track?

dmonie@hotmail.com — Wed, 28 Apr 2010 00:00:00 +0100

Recently California voters have elected to put legalization of recreational marijuana on the ballot. Could this mean that the East Coast is again leading the way for the rest of the country? Probably so, because like medical marijuana, which is now regulated by seventeen other states, California was first. This seems to be an inevitable trend nationwide, while people begin to loosen up to the realization that marijuana usage is a common practice everywhere, it's time to get [...]

The Double Standards Of Big Business

dmonie@hotmail.com — Sat, 06 Feb 2010 00:00:00 +0100

I just read an article on NORML about CBS refusing to run a pro marijuana legalization ad during The Super Bowl. Seems to me that the Big business in America wishes to cram morality down our throats! I am referring to the two ads they refused to run, Pro-legalization and a Gay internet dating site, versus the decision to run Tebow's anti-abortion ad. I applaud CBS for running the anti-abortion ad but boo them not running the other ads. They should run ALL pertinent inf [...]

dmonie@hotmail.com — Fri, 05 Feb 2010 00:00:00 +0100

By DAVID KLEPPERThe Star’s Topeka correspondent

After all, Kansas was the first to embrace Prohibition, and one of the last to end it. Even today, you can't find full-strength beer on a grocery store shelf.

Yet in the same week that state lawmakers voted to make Kansas the first state to outlaw a synthetic form of pot, a Wichita legislator introduced a bill to legalize marijuana with a doctor's prescription.

While California’s citizens and legislators maybe at the vanguard of America’s progressive cannabis policy-making, unfortunately many in the law enforcement community in the Golden State are still uncomfortable with, and resistive of the will of the voters (their employers) when it comes to physician-sanctioned, patient access to medicinal cannabis.

More Excuses....

dmonie@hotmail.com — Fri, 10 Jul 2009 00:00:00 +0100

California conservatives now use the excuse that the increase in tax revenue from legalized marijuana would only be offset by the cost of rehabilitating new users. Legalizing marijuana doesn't equal an increase in users, only the freedom for current users to come out from hiding. It does mean that funding already in place to fight the "drug war" can be reallocated into more useful endeavors. Also, the State already loses money rehabilitating drug users, much of the time at [...]

Michael Jackson Dead

Michael Jackson Dead? And legal drugs contributed to his death so... If deaths are this rampant among users of prescribed drugs, that only strengthens the case that illegal drugs, if legalized, are dangerous!
