'sheer stupidity'
News.com.au
August 31st 2005:

A Police raid on a western suburbs home yesterday revealed a hydroponic cannabis-growing operation. Police raided the Royal Park house about 10am.
"We found 31 cannabis plants growing in a shed and, more disturbingly, we found a Taser stun gun," said Port Adelaide Superintendent Barry Lewis. The arrest of a 33-year-old led police to a second house, rented by the same man, across the road, where they found 19 mature plants. They also seized more than 3kg of dried cannabis head, implements, hydroponic equipment and almost $10,000. Electricity to the two houses had been tampered with, an act in itself that is "sheer stupidity," Supt Lewis said of the danger it posed.

 

'CHP have got their marching orders'
LosAngelestimes.com
August 29th 2005:

The California Highway Patrol has stopped confiscating all medical marijuana during traffic stops, following a U.S. Supreme Court ruling in June that left intact a state law allowing the drug to be used for medicinal purposes. The policy change was a victory for medical marijuana advocates, namely the Oakland-based Americans for Safe Access, which sued the CHP and Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger earlier this year to have the practice stopped. The group's executive director, Steph Sherer, said it would send a "clear message" that patients' rights need to be protected. "Our hope is this will ripple around the state," she said. CHP officers were told in an Aug. 22 bulletin of the new policy, which now allows patients traveling on state highways to have as much as 8 ounces of marijuana if they had a certified user identification card or written approval from a physician. CHP spokesman Lt. Joe Whiteford, who said patrol officers now "have got their marching orders," noted that law enforcement officials were initially confused about how to interpret a U.S. Supreme Court ruling.

Worthing's last cannabis café has reopened just days after police shut it down. Up to 40 officers used a huge saw and cutting gear to force through two 5in-thick reinforced doors to get into the Amsterdam-style café in Victoria Road, Worthing, on August 11. Two men and a woman were arrested on suspicion of supplying controlled drugs and West Sussex fire officers closed down the premises over safety fears that there was no fire escape. But traders working close to the venue were appalled to discover that it was back open for business on Saturday with a steady flow of up to 200 customers a day, little more than a week after officers swooped. One businesswoman, who asked not to be named, said: "It is a joke.

A Campaign has been launched to stop the prosecution of a Cumbrian couple who are charged with plotting to supply cannabis More than 700 people have signed a petition on an internet site which is calling for charges against Mark and Lezley Jane Gibson, both 41, of Front Street, Alston to be dropped. The couple, who stood for the Legalise cannabis Alliance party at the general election, have appeared at Carlisle Crown Court on a charge each of conspiring to supply the drug. It is alleged they did this between January 2000 and February 2005. The Gibsons, who run a shop in Alston, are co-accused with Marcus Peter Davies, 36, of The Grove, Warboys Road, St Ives, Cambridgeshire. The petition calls for the Crown Prosecution Service in Cumbria to drop the case against all three defendants. It has been published on a UK-based website called Petition-them.com, which says it is aimed at "individuals and groups who wish to promote a cause or campaign". Mark Gibson stood as a candidate for Penrith and the Border in the May election as well as in 2001, while his wife stood in the Carlisle constituency this year. Lezley Gibson came to national attention in 2000 when she was cleared at Carlisle Crown Court of possessing cannabis. The jury made its decision after hearing how she used the drug to ease her symptoms of multiple sclerosis (MS). In 2003, Mark Gibson shelved plans to open a Dutch-style cannabis cafe in Cumbria. None of the defendants were asked to enter a plea at their latest court hearing last Friday. All three were allowed bail until their next appearance at the crown court on October 13th.

'legalize the adult use of marijuana'
Rocky Mountain News

August 25, 2005

 

Denver would become the second city in the nation to legalize the adult use of marijuana if voters approve a ballot measure in November. The first city was Oakland, Calif. Voters there overwhelmingly approved an initiative last year that requires the city to regulate and tax marijuana, similarly to the way it administers laws on alcohol. It also directs Oakland officials to make pot the city's lowest law enforcement priority. The new law has not been enacted because it conflicts with the state of California's laws. Denver's initiative may face the same fate. The ballot measure would make it legal for adults 21 years and older to possess less than 1 once of marijuana. But state law prohibits the possession of marijuana. City Council members on Monday begrudgingly cleared the way to put the measure on the Nov. 1 ballot. They didn't have a choice. The measure's backers, Safer Alternative for Enjoyable Recreation, collected more than the 12,000 signatures needed to force the matter onto the ballot, Full Use.............

The common assumption is that marijuana is at least a harmless drug. But that is a dangerous and false assumption. As many as 100,000 potheads were expected over the weekend at the Hempfest in Seattle, Washington, to celebrate the use of a drug that makes one unable to think clearly. One of the speakers, Reverend Levon the Lion of the "Church of Cognitive Therapy," claims a "religious and spiritual entitlement" to marijuana. It would be laughable were it not for the fact that marijuana is also being sold to the gullible as something that supposedly has medical benefits. Now it is supposed to have spiritual benefits? Some people will say anything to justify getting high. The common assumption is that marijuana is at least a harmless drug. But that is a dangerous and false assumption.

Muddled thinking over drug use in prisons will help the criminals
Is there anyone in either the Dail or the Seannad with the courage and imagination of British Liberal Democrat Chris Davies? The Welsh MEP raised a row in the UK when he suggested that perhaps it was time to rethink the Western world's policy on drugs. Davies put forward the idea long advocated by libertarians that legalising all narcotics would drastically slash the profits of drug smugglers and dealers while reducing crime rates caused by addicts prepared to pay astronomical prices for their fix.

Mowlam bequeaths controversy with 'legalise drugs' call

Mo Mowlam's unerring ability to cause controversy has survived her. The Northern Ireland secretary and cabinet enforcer has left behind a book, to be published next year, in which she advocates the legalisation of all drugs, including heroin and cocaine.Such a legacy from a government minister, once given responsibility for the international war on drugs, may provide Tony Blair with a rueful reminder of the controversy she sparked with her admission while in office that she had smoked cannabis at university. Mowlam had been working on the manuscript for much of this year with Jon Norton, her husband, and had almost finished it. Last Thursday, the day before her death, Norton told their publisher, Polity, that he will complete it by the end of the year."We are very proud to publish this important book. I am delighted Jon has decided he does want to finish it," said Louise Knight, Polity's editorial director. She said the working title of the book was Legalise Drugs and added: "They are putting forward an argument for regulation, not just for a free-for-all. It is based on Mo's extensive experience."Before her death, Mowlam had floated the idea of legalising drugs at a series of informal speaking engagements entitled Audiences with Mo Mowlam. She became convinced that it could be a popular idea if properly presented. Full Story........

The rightists' ire was not lessened despite the fact that Jospin quickly added that he would oppose any change in French cannabis laws, which, on paper at least, are among the most draconian in Europe. "Smoking a joint at home is certainly less dangerous than drinking and driving," Jospin told Agence France-Presse in a fax interview.

"Seventeen wild cannabis fields were destroyed through the joint efforts of the law enforcement officials and power agencies." The source specified that the police had destroyed over 34 million bushes of cannabis with an aggregate weight of more than one and a half metric tons and opened more than 330 cases on illicit cultivating and trafficking. A spokesman for the State Drug Control Agency said 26 million bushes of Manchurian cannabis had been destroyed with the assistance of the military and local administration.

Regulation of medical marijuana is necessary, the mayor told activists at a meeting at San Francisco’s Jewish Community Center, but it could be that city’s best line of defense against the “possibility of using” program “in a war against the city.” He explained that the city has so far been unprepared to defend its management of the program; at one point, his administration didn’t know how many dispensaries there are, where they are located and who was operating them. As criticism of the medical marijuana program mounted over the past year, and the federal government has sought to strengthen its hand in opposing the emergence of such efforts, San Francisco was unable to gauge the successes and failures of the program, Full Harassment......

We've had our doubts about how effective routine traffic stops really are in the war against drugs. But the proof seems to exist that traffic stops can, and do, put a dent in a drug trade that seems alive and well in Sampson County. Take, for example, last weekend's Sampson County Sheriff's Department stops, initiated by the Highway Enforcement Awareness Team and the Special Investigation's Division. HEAT and SID, as they are more commonly known, teamed to make four drug arrests, one which involved the confiscation of 48 grams of marijuana and $5,000 in cash. That arrest came at a driver's license checking station on U.S. 421. Had it not been for that routine traffic stop, it's most likely the suspect, the drugs and the cash would have made it to their destination. And the drugs would have likely soon be in the hands of some of our children.

Oldham Euro-MP Chris Davies claims Britain’s drug strategy is putting billions of pounds into the pockets of criminals and funding terrorist activities. Writing in this month’s Brussels-based political magazine, the Sprout, the Liberal Democrat says the prohibition of illegal drugs should be rep-laced by Government regulation. Mr Davies said the cost of crimes committed by heroin and cocaine addicts to fund their habit is said to amount of £16 billion per year in the UK alone. He said: “Far from preventing the use of illegal drugs, the policy of prohibition creates the profits which drive the growth of the trade. “It leads to the corruption of our institutions and provides funds for terrorism.”Mr Davies believes the introduction of a legally regulated market in drugs such as cannabis and heroin could reduce crime affecting society and release huge sums of money to pay for drug awareness programmes and rehabilitation schemes.

And when America's government wants to investigate or take down someone involved in illegal drugs, it can easily rely on its many years of experience facilitating the illegal drug trade.
