Oregon growers win case; drying marijuana is not usable marijuana

Oregon growers win case; drying marijuana is not usable marijuana

By "Radical" Russ Belville on February 2, 2012

Theoretically speaking, with my caregiver card, I could be sitting here with 24 ounces of dried buds and six mature plants with ten pounds of bud on them apiece. I could chop off a branch each week and dry it and so long as I’ve gone through my dried pound-and-a-half before the pound-and-a-half on the branch dries, I’ve never broken the law. In fact, theoretically there is no limit to how much weight in wet bud I could be drying here, so long as no more than 24 ounces of it is dry at one time.

Denver's WestWord reports on the medical marijuana "farce" controversy

Denver’s WestWord reports on the medical marijuana “farce” controversy

By "Radical" Russ Belville on January 25, 2012

So what you have here is Allen writing a response on a private LISTSERVE to a lawyer who questioned Allen’s posting of an op-ed by a California cop that described medical marijuana in California as a farce and a sham. Then another lawyer in Colorado who defends the medmj industry took offense, feeling Allen was demeaning his clients. This is back in October. Then that Colorado lawyer takes the text off the private LISTSERVE and begins distributing it to as many people as he can as part of his own agenda to discredit Allen. Steve Bloom finally takes takes the bait this month and splashes the edited, out-of-context email all over his website as if it were a public pronouncement from NORML, leading to re-posts on other cannabis websites and countless angry denunciations and spirited defenses in the comments sections.
