A policy in the Netherlands that would ban foreign tourists from buying marijuana went into effect in parts of the country May 1st. Most of the law enforcement and media focus has been on the town of Maastricht, a border town with Belgium, a country that has strict policies against marijuana. Some activists in the border town held a march in protest of the new policy and about 200 people marched through the streets and chanted.

Now that the No on I-502 PAC is officially taking contributions to help the Drug Czar defeat legalization, it’s time for me to review the latest half-truths, scaremongering, junk science, and outright lies being propagated by those who feel this legalization isn’t perfect enough.

What a great event we just had in Denver, Colorado, the Cannabis Capital of America. The 2nd Annual HIGH TIMES Medical Cannabis Cup was a big success at the Exdo Center, featuring a huge vendor area, a nice and cool seated presentation area, outside food vendors, and another vendor section in the “medication area”.

Big thanks to Karli Duran and all the people at San Antonio NORML who worked so hard to put together the 4/20 Fweedom Fest. I knew it was going to be a good time when I get to the hotel and they have me booked in Room #420. My good friend Chief Greenbud was in Room #421 across the hall.

Medical marijuana is always an issue for law enforcement in Oregon, so the race for Attorney General may be the most important race for marijuana activists to watch in the state. Recently the two candidates appeared at a debate at Willamette University. The moderator of the debate noted that there were eight separate questions submitted regarding marijuana policy, dominating the submissions.

The glaring problem with any sort of studies regarding marijuana and driving is that marijuana is illegal. Do pot smoking drivers drive slower, stay in their lane better, give more distance between cars, have fewer fatalities, etc., because they are safer drivers, or because the threat of any interaction with police will result in arrest and a drug record rather than just a ticket or a warning?

So when somebody asks me what NORML has been doing lately to legalize marijuana, I point to one of our members like Anne Davis and say, “Providing five years of mentoring and networking for the lawyer who’s going to sue Gov. Chris Christie into finally implementing a medical marijuana program AIDS, cancer, and MS patients, that’s what!”
