Digital Leather is one man band pop of the future. Moody lyrics, and very harsh, dark melodies over beats cooked up in a hot, sticky bedroom in the desert. Like a diary of experimentation in darkness, the sounds are still beautiful and similar to Blank Dogs, S.I.D.S, Lost Sounds, and The Screamers. What better way to close our 2010 than a Rockin’ Friday look toward 2011?

According to the latest National Surveys on Drug Use and Health, 10% of Americans working 31-to-50 hours per week have consumed cannabis over the past thirty days. Over half of those (51%) will use cannabis more ten days per month and over one quarter (26%) will use cannabis almost every day.

When he walked past a Dumpster, he saw it in a cardboard box: a thick blue binder.
The forms were inside plastic sleeves and contained social security numbers and dates of birth, along with patient names, addresses and telephone numbers. The binder contained the personal and medical information of dozens of patients.
The forms were on letterhead identified as Apothecary of Colorado, a dispensary in Denver.

In 1998 there were 682,885 arrests for marijuana nationwide; in 2008 there were 847,863 arrests, an increase of 24% – surprise! In 1998, there were 347 “drug courts” nationwide; in 2008 there were 2,301, an increase of 592%. I’m surprised rehab rates for marijuana aren’t up more than 30%!

Child abuse? I don’t think so. That seems too severe to me. There is no report of the child being actually abused. The child didn’t eat any of the cannabis, which is about the only harm he could have possibly suffered, aside from the risk of police bursting in with no-knock warrants and automatic weapons, and even a kid eating cannabis is not going to die or suffer any lasting harm. I think child neglect is appropriate, but if we’re going to charge this guy with child abuse, then some of these kids’ parents need to be charged as well.

The Sentinel explains that the free joints regularly cost $10. Really? Ten bucks for a joint? Let’s see, I can go buy a dozen cans of peas for less than a buck a can, turn them in at Granny Purps for $30 worth of joints? Who wouldn’t be compassionate?
