    Young men are dead because Obama won’t stop laughing.

    Monday, June 8th, 2009 at 6:20 pm | By: Dudemaster

    Mr. President, these needless deaths could have been avoided if only you would stop laughing at people who advise you to embrace the idea of legalization.

    SULLIVAN CITY – A 17-year-old boy is the only survivor of a police chase that ended in a rollover crash in Sullivan City. Police say the driver of a car refused to stop and the chase was on. They went down the expressway until the driver lost control and crashed near Showers Road.

    The car rolled over several times killing the driver, 21-year-old Josh Pena, and a passenger, 18-year-old Pedro Trevino. There’s no word on the condition of the third passenger taken to the hospital. Police found 14 pounds of marijuana in the car.

    I think it’s pretty obvious; if Marijuana were legal, these boys would still be alive.

    How many more people will the Government kill, murder, execute, and cage (on purpose or accident) before the people of this country awaken to the war the against them and fight back? In case you weren’t aware, the government is at war with the citizens of the United States and these are two more casualties.

    [I love this post from Dudemaster, but I can just hear the propaganda-soaked Joe Q. Public saying, "Well, if they didn't run from the cops, they wouldn't have wrecked their car and died."  But Dudemaster is exactly right; do you think these young men would have engaged in a high-speed chase over 14 cases of wine or 14 cases of beer?  Even at age 17, where his possession of wine and beer would be illegal, you can't imagine he'd have run from cops over it, can you?

    Marijuana does not create crime.  Prohibition creates crime.  If you enacted decades-long mandatory minimum sentences for possession and sales of chocolate, this police chase and car wreck could've been over 14 pounds of chocolate bricks. -- "R"R]

    Free the Weed, Strategy for Legalization

    Monday, May 11th, 2009 at 8:20 am | By: Dudemaster

    Fifteen years ago, I was standing in a valley of several square miles which was completely saturated with marijuana. Later that same day, I was in another field several hundred miles away, but this one was filled with poppies. What was I doing? I was in Colombia, Peru, Ecuador, Venezuela, Belize, Panama, Costa Rica, Bolivia, Brazil, and other Central and South American countries, involved with helping the local communities rid their area of drug producers.

    When I worked for our government in support of these efforts in the early 1990’s, drug producers would go into a village, often after executing someone as an example, and conscript the village residents into manufacturing marijuana, cocaine, or opiates. Today, they are still hard at work conscripting residents and forcing them to manufacture their illegal drugs.

    Don’t misunderstand me, I’m a strong proponent for legal marijuana, but I’m adamantly against the purchase or distribution of “cartel schwag” because there are innocents who die at the hands of the cartels. I would rather ‘never smoke pot again’ than line the pockets of cartels with my money. I’m hoping that someday, it will all be domestic.

    I left government service a little more than a year ago, after serving more than 20 years wearing a uniform. In my senior military days, I dealt with policy and strategy, creating different solutions for different issues. Today I spend my time working policy and strategy for a University while working to influence legalization policies through letter writing and blogging.

    During my research I came across a paper written by Ross Raffin which describes, in his opinion, how the current legalization movement is being done in a Federal way. He articulates quite accurately what the Obama administration is doing for the legalization movement.

    Standford Progressive,

    Many advocates of legalizing or decriminalizing marijuana feel Obama has abandoned them. White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel is a consistent warrior against decriminalization. Attorney General Eric Holder has a history of opposing drug policy reforms and considers the adult use of marijuana equivalent to public nuisance. Even Joe Biden, when asked about pain management and medical cannabis, responded that “there’s got to be a better answer than marijuana.” But the reality is that the Obama administration has turned the tides in favor of legalization and decriminalization in a much stronger and subtler way than open rhetorical endorsements.

    Optimism for drug reform began when Obama ended federal raids on cannabis dispensaries in states which allow medical marijuana. What marijuana advocates fail to realize is that with this the Obama administration initiated a small but extremely important step towards legalization. More importantly, it has done so in a way to insulate itself from Republican attacks and attempts to distract the public.

    If Obama were to walk up to a microphone today and announce that he is going to submit legislation to congress to tax, regulate, and legalize marijuana, we might have a Congress ready to impeach, or at the very least, we’d have a  Congress who wouldn’t take him seriously any longer.

    The Obama administration’s public hesitation towards marijuana legalization is not only understandable but, considering the impact of the current economic legislation and programs the administration is endorsing, the most pragmatic and efficient route for the moment. Legalization and decriminalization advocates should focus efforts on state-wide legalization, not nation-wide. If states are challenged in lawsuits, than the Supreme Court will be forced to rule on whether legislation criminalizing marijuana should be struck down. This is preferable to the executive putting forward a proposal to legalize marijuana from the top down. When Obama tells the country that marijuana legalization is not the path he chooses for America, he means to say that the path must first be drawn by us.

    What we need to do, as a point of policy and strategy, is continue what we are doing right now. At the grass roots level, we need to be even more active in our local NORML chapters, and try as hard as we can by rallying as much support as possible to support any and all decriminalization bills or propositions in our communities and states as we can.

    Our president is allowing democracy to decide the fate of marijuana, so let’s use democracy to end the prohibition and re-legalize marijuana. Start a NORML chapter, or attend a meeting and get active! It’s a chance for you to serve your country.

    Government Invents Method to Spy on Pot Fields from Space!

    Tuesday, May 5th, 2009 at 8:20 am | By: Dudemaster

    CIA Invests in ImageTree’s Forest-Tracking Technology

    ImageTree, a company that tracks individual trees in forests, has signed a technology development agreement and received an undisclosed investment from In-Q-Tel, an investment firm founded by the Central Intelligence Agency. ImageTree’s ForestSense technology can calculate height, basal area, volume, species–every visible detail about a tree–of every tree crown in a forest. According to ImageTree chief executive Mark Redlus, ForestSense can also track topographical tree images down to a tenth of a meter.

    The CIA remains mum on its interest in foresting technology, which is primarily used by logging companies. But ForestSense could potentially be used to comply with carbon-credit markets, or to track the growth of illegal crops like marijuana. The technology could also be used to monitor illegal logging practices.

    In-Q-Tel’s investment portfolio spans a variety of industries, including nanotechnology, digital identity and security, power systems, and medical technology. And ImageTree isn’t the firm’s first foray into mapping: Last month, the firm invested in Geosemble, a geospatial technology developer working on products that automatically extract maps, aerial imagery, and more.

    Don’t you think if federal or state law enforcement could use this to spy for pot plants in the back yards of American citizens, they would? Of course they would. Laws, like the Supreme Court ruling which prohibits the use of infrared electronic devices to spy into people’s homes, hasn’t stopped law enforcement from breaking the law and doing it anyway. If this technology were available to law enforcement, they would use it.

    When debating how much of our privacy we have given up to the government, I can’t fathom how much more they are going to take from us.

    Perhaps someday we will be told it is a privilege, not a right, to walk on a sidewalk or plant a garden in our yard.

    Oh… wait… It’s already against the law to plant a garden. Well, we can grow beets, but we can’t grow a plant from which we can make paper for writing on, fiber for sewing, making rope, fuel for my car, material to build onto my home and make furniture, seeds with a high source of complex proteins and fiber, and life saving medicine.

    If we can find the law on a computer in Congress, I can edit it using Microsoft Word and we can use the copy & replace function to change the words from “Marijuana and Marihuana” to Beet. I hate beets.

    We Need Laws to Protect Us from the Government!

    Monday, May 4th, 2009 at 5:20 pm | By: Dudemaster

    The AP reports,

    A medical marijuana dispensary at South Lake Tahoe has reopened, three months after shutting down following a raid by federal agents.

    Patient to Patient Collective last week reopened next to its previous location, and plans to offer a full line of marijuana products to eligible patients.

    Federal agents seized about 10 pounds of processed marijuana and a small amount of cash during January’s raid, but no arrests were made.

    This is akin to the turtle poking his head out of his shell to look around and see if that little boy is going to try and cut it off again. In this metaphor, the little boy, Attorney General Eric Holder, promised not to target medical dispensaries, with provisions, and we are all waiting to see if he keeps his promise. With one exception, there have not been any further raids on dispensaries by federal troops.

    But, therein lies the problem. The prohibition continues to fuel the black market, and the government has their finger on the grenade pin 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. At any time, the government can pull the pin and blow up every life involved in the legitimate cannabis industry in every medical marijuana state and people are scared.

    [Therein lies another problem: the feds will only bust dispensaries that break state law, but the feds, not the state, get to decide if you broke state law.  There are no state charges filed for breaking that state law, whatever it was, only federal charges.  When you're facing federal charges in a federal court, you're not allowed to mention that you were following a state medical marijuana law. -- "R"R]

    People are legitimately afraid of the federal government, and there are no protections for them. With only a small handful of congressional leaders willing to champion the cause, the entire House of Representatives have become a sniveling group of cowards afraid to lead their country because they believe their constituent support may suffer.

    Contact your elected representative and let them know if they support medical marijuana laws then you will support them. They need to know who their support base is, then get active and get involved.

    Wall Street Journal on Taxing Marijuana in Oakland, California

    Monday, May 4th, 2009 at 12:20 pm | By: Dudemaster

    OAKLAND, Calif. — Oakland’s City Council last week approved a 1.8% tax on medicinal marijuana sold in the city. If voters pass the proposal in a July election, Oakland would become the nation’s first city to directly tax the drug.

    A city tax on medical marijuana could generate at least $400,000 and perhaps more than $1 million annually, said Rebecca Kaplan, the Oakland City Council member who pushed the proposal. The city of 400,000 residents is facing an $83 million shortfall in a $455 million budget.

    The owners and managers of Oakland’s four medical-marijuana dispensaries said they approached the city with the idea. “We wanted to further legitimize the medical-marijuana paradigm to show that we are truly willing to assist [Oakland], and to show other cities that there are social benefits to this,” said Keith Stephenson, executive director of Purple Heart Patient Center.

    No formal opposition has formed against the proposal, and Ms. Kaplan and medical-marijuana advocates said they are confident voters will approve it.

    But Paul Chabot, a Southern California resident who recently founded the Coalition for a Drug Free California, is opposed to the idea because he thinks the “quasi-legalization” of marijuana would add more of the drug into the black market. “It’s a front; it also sends the wrong message to children,” he said. “What are you doing to do next, allow prostitution and tax that? Allow methamphetamine to be sold and tax that?”

    Some people just won’t learn. This opposition leader obviously is not aware that if we legitimize a banned substance and turn a black market into a legitimate business, then it’s no longer a black market. Secondly, here is the message that I want to send to my children: Science over Politics.

    As I recenly wrote in my article “Grade School Children Caught Selling Marijuana“, this opposition leader could learn that children have virtually unfettered access to any kind of illicit drug “right now”.

    In fact, I asked my 15yr old, who is attending high school near our home in a middle class town in Texas, to share a list of items she can obtain within 24 hrs notice at her school (for purchase inside of her school) and here is what she wrote down off the top of her head:

    Marijuana (indoor Chronic of any flavor), LSD, Magic Mushrooms, Mescaline, Cocaine (in any form), Meth, Ice, and Heroin (in any form)

    What the list doesn’t contain is Cigarettes or Alcohol. When asked about the availability of those, she stated,

    “They are harder to get because you have to go to a store, present an I.D., and undergo a certain amount of scrutiny.”

    Paul, if you truly want to protect our children from reefer madness, then you need to embrace decriminalization and help us to shape our laws of oppression into laws of protection.

    The Trials and Tribulations of a Unicorn Sentenced to 93 years in Oklahoma Prison

    Monday, May 4th, 2009 at 11:20 am | By: Dudemaster

    For those who may remember Will Foster, and for those who are new to the story, Ed Rosenthal has been a key factor in helping Will to maintain his freedom. Unfortunately, his freedom will always come at a personal cost and Will’s freedom is again, a subject of debate.

    From Ed Rosenthal’s Blog

    The Trial of Will Foster

    In the late nineties, Will Foster was convicted of growing a 5×5 ft. marijuana garden in the basement of his Tulsa, Oklahoma home. I testified at the trial and upon landing again in Oakland and getting in a car to go home, a radio program was discussing the Tulsa race riots of 1921, in which the entire black population of the city was either murdered or escaped. It was by far the most blatant example of ethnic cleansing ever perpetrated in the United States. The thought of what happened in Tulsa sent a shiver up my spine. Shortly afterwards, I learned that Will Foster was sentenced to 93 years in prison.

    After spending four and a half years in prison, pressure from media attention and public outrage led the Oklahoma Supreme Court to release Will and parole him for a 20 year probationary period on the basis that a 93 year sentence was cruel and unusual punishment.

    He was freed, and due to his degenerative arthritis, chose to move to California to escape persecution as a medical marijuana user. He was allowed to move to California as long as his probation was continued in California and he had a sponsor in the state, [me]. Will and his daughter Anna lived with me for almost a year. In that time he had established himself enough to get an apartment, find work, and renew his life. Three years went by and when it came time for California to renew his 12-year probation, the state decided that because California would never give a person more than three years probation for weed, they would not be extending the probation period. Oklahoma asked him to come back and he chose to remain in California, where he had established a life. He remained in communication with the Oklahoma authorities to try to work out a solution administratively that would keep him in California. Although the state of Oklahoma continued to issue warrants, they made no attempt of retrieving him.

    Can you imagine going back to Oklahoma and its strict marijuana laws, being watched, being tested, all while having degenerative arthritis which only marijuana soothed? For years, Will tried to negotiate with the Oklahoma authorities, all to no avail.

    In October of 2005, an alarm went off in a property that Will was renting. He went to see what was going on and when the police came, an ID check showed that he had a probation warrant in Oklahoma. He was arrested solely on the probation charge. After sitting in jail for almost six months, the Sonoma Country judge, Judge Daum, upon reviewing the facts, decided that Will was complying with state law and that because Oklahoma had not come to extradite him, the matter was out of his jurisdiction and Will’s case was dismissed. Will was released and renewed his life once more.

    Imagine the disruption of being dragged away and placed in a state of suspended animation for months, everything is either lost or stored. All relationships are placed on hold and then, to be released back into life again after the state says “we didn’t really mean it, sorry”.

    All was going fine until Will got into a really negative part of his relationship with a former lover who convinced local narcotics authorities and the DEA that they would find something big in a raid of his home. They didn’t, what they did find was a medical marijuana garden in compliance with local and state guidelines and small amounts of other controlled substances in his home that may or may not have belonged to him. Will was arrested and then the issues of the Oklahoma warrant came up again.

    What would have been a trivial case has become a life-threatening exercise in injustice. Will has been in jail for a year, awaiting trial. If he loses the trial, which includes mostly marijuana charges, the Oklahoma warrant is sure to come into play, and if he wins it may.

    There are technical questions as to whether this new warrant is still subject to the judge’s order, and whether Governor Schwarzenegger’s signature on the warrant overrides the judge’s discretion. A different judge than Daum will be deciding this case.

    Beyond the health and well-being of Will, his case should be of great importance and concern not only to the medical marijuana community, but also any American taxpayer. Sonoma Country, California has been footing the bill for over a year to enforce not state or local laws in state hit exceptionally hard by the economic downfall, but the Draconian and extremist drug policies of the state of Oklahoma.

    Along as being a friend and ally of the medical marijuana community, Will Foster is the poster child of how the criminal justice system is still locked in a mindset of hammering people with expensive and irrational jail sentences- regardless of personal circumstances- for the perpetration of a victimless crime.

    This is where it stands folks, Will is in jail in Santa Rosa, CA and he needs your help.

    There are several ways you can help him:
    Courtroom dates and times will be posted at www.medicalmarijuanaofamerica.com. Donations to his legal defense are greatly appreciated. Make out checks to Chris Andrian, Atty. and mail to P.O. Box 196 Jenner, CA 95450

    I’m just curious; can someone check on President Obama and tell us if he is still laughing? If he is, let’s give him a urine test and screen him for THC because this isn’t funny.

    The Failed Border Security Initiative – A Crackdown Compounded

    Tuesday, April 28th, 2009 at 10:20 am | By: Radical Russ

    96% of BEST drug seizures at the Mexican border are marijuana

    96% of BEST drug seizures at the Mexican border are marijuana

    (Counterpunch.org) DHS says the new initiative will be based on a “risk-based decision-making process.” All the various DHS initiatives that are part of its SBI umbrella program contend that they are “risk-based.” DHS contends it is protecting the homeland against “dangerous goods and people.”

    In practice, however, its array of border control and immigration enforcement programs casts a wide net—with most of the arrests being immigration violators and drug law offenders rather than dangerous criminals. Marijuana leads, by far, the list of illegal drugs seized, even though there is widening consensus, even in the criminal justice community, that marijuana is not a “dangerous good,” especially when compared with cocaine, heroin, and methamphetamines.

    The achievements of the existing [Border Enforcement Security Taskforce] BEST teams don’t support ICE declarations that their investigation and prosecutions are “risk-based.” The existing 95 members of BEST teams in the Southwest were responsible for 1,000 criminal arrests in 2008, but most of its arrests—1,256—were for administrative violations, presumably transgressions of immigration law. Marijuana seizures topped the list of drugs confiscated. BEST seized 42,400 lbs. of marijuana, 1,803 lbs. of cocaine, and 66 lbs. of heroin.

    Do you feel safer now?  When President Nixon declared the war on drugs, one of the first programs on the Mexican border was “Operation Intercept“.  Then, too, the idea was that we’d stop those Mexicans from supplying weed to our youth.  The massive crackdown was called off after Mexican officials complained about how badly this backed up legitimate business traffic at the border.

    In this case, it’s not just business traffic inconveniences to worry about, it’s potential terrorists and explosive or radioactive materials we’re worried about.  Every time border cops have to spend time busting truckloads of pot is an opportunity for a terrorist to go unnoticed.

    FL House passes ‘Rachel’s law’ to protect police informants

    Monday, April 27th, 2009 at 5:20 pm | By: Dudemaster


    From Tampabay.com 29 Apr 09 – The House just unanimously approved a bill that would create greater safeguards for police informants — nearly a year after the death of Florida State University grad Rachel Hoffman.

    “Depending on your age, Rachel could have been your sister and Rachel could have been your daughter,” said Rep. Peter Nehr, R-Tarpon Springs, the bill sponsor. “Rachel Hoffman’s death was unnecessary and unneeded.”

    But the bill (HB 271) has lost some of its force after law enforcement groups complained provisions would hurt the widespread use of informants. Hoffman’s parents, who watched from the House gallery, say they will fight to strengthen the legislation next year. Among their wishes: That people in drug treatment programs not be used as informants.

    Hoffman agreed last April to become a police informer after officers found marijuana and ecstasy in her Tallahassee apartment. The 23-year-old was found dead of gunshots on May 9 after police gave her $13,000 to buy 1,500 ecstasy pills, cocaine and a gun from suspected drug dealers. Two men have been arrested.

    Rachel Hoffman was a bright young Florida State University graduate arrested for possession, and subsequently forced into drug deal by Tallahassee Police who unintentionally arranged her brutal murder. (Just a reminder for our readers that on issues related to marijuana, police are NOT your protector, they are your oppressor).

    As crazy as this sounds, that is exactly what police did. They arranged for her to meet several known violent criminals, left her completely alone with them, the criminals killed her, and now she’s dead. No charges have been filed against any of the law enforcement officers that unintentionally arranged her murder.

    If you are ever asked, compelled, or ordered to participate in an undercover narcotics operation as the result of a “deal” you’ve made with the DA, you need to understand they do NOT have your best interested in mind. Their only concern is “the bust”, above and beyond your safety. Your concern should be your safety above everything else. Rachael Hoffman would still be alive today and would likely be finishing her culinary school this spring if she would have said, “no” to being a narc.

    Marijuana Decriminalization Working in Portugal

    Monday, April 27th, 2009 at 1:20 pm | By: Dudemaster

    A new Time article entitled, “Drugs in Portugal: Did Decriminalization Work?” examines the practical theory of how decriminalization and use, when applied to a society properly, can have resounding success; and that is exactly what is being praised for the country of Portugal.

    First, let me explain the Portugal model and put it into perspective. As we all know, with the exception of thirteen states that have medical Marijuana laws, the sale and cultivation of marijuana is illegal in the United States under both state laws and federal laws. The laws may vary from state to state, but typical first time possession varies from a civil fine to a year of incarceration.

    Contrary to what one might hear in the news, in The Netherlands marijuana is also a crime. The difference in The Netherlands is the Dutch have decided not to enforce those laws because it’s in contrast what the people desire. However, when the Dutch decide to go after a particular grow operation or cannabis shop, they have full charge of the law behind them to do as they please.

    The Portugal model is the only one of it’s kind in Europe because they were the first European country to remove all criminal penalties for personal possession of drugs including marijuana. And they have been completely legal since 2001!

    Portugal

    Portugal

    Compared to the European Union and the U.S., Portugal’s drug use numbers are impressive. Following decriminalization, Portugal had the lowest rate of lifetime marijuana use in people over 15 in the E.U.: 10%.

    The most comparable figure in America is in people over 12: 39.8%.

    According to the Time article, a CATO study concludes that Portugal’s legalization program is a resounding success having reduced overall drug use, HIV cases, and cutting addiction rates by half across the board with all hard (addictive) drugs.

    This is an extremely unique report because Portugal, unlike other countries, didn’t just “dabble” in decriminalization for a select group or demographic, they simply LEGALIZED EVERYTHING.

    Currently in Portugal,

    If an individual is caught in possession of a modest quantity of drugs (below ten daily doses), and police have no further suspicions or evidence that more serious offenses such as sale or traffic are involved, the drug will be seized and the case transmitted to a local Commission composed of 3 members (a lawyer, and two from a range of doctors, social assistants, and psychologists), supported by a technical team. The Commission meets the person in order to evaluate his/her situation and with the aim of eventually diverting the person from prosecution or sending them to treatment. If the user presents evidence that use is occasional or regular, but not habitual (addicted), the proceedings are dropped”.

    By embracing the idea that a nation’s drug problem is a health and human services issue, not a law enforcement problem, Portugal helped to reallocate financial resources from law enforcement to address the underlying issues of the health effects of addiction. By doing so, Portugal removed the criminal element behind their illicit drug industry.

    In contrast, The Netherlands still experiences a measurable amount of crime related to the illicit cannabis (Europeans refer to marijuana as cannabis) market because they still have laws against the manufacture and sale of cannabis. California also isn’t exempt, the state still sees crime as a result of marijuana being an illegal substance (federally and state without proper authorization). As long as the United States has a Prohibition in place, we will continue to battle cartels and crime on all fronts.

    Although Portugal is a smaller country, initiatives like those Portugal put into place could also be put into place in this country within our communities.

    Like removing a pot of boiling water from the stove; if you remove crime from Marijuana, you wouldn’t have any crime to fight.

    Could Portugal’s solution serve as a model to the United States?

    Recently, Senators Jim Webb and Arlen Specter proposed that Congress create a national commission, not unlike Portugal’s, to deal with prison reform and overhaul drug-sentencing policy. As Webb noted, the U.S. is home to 5% of the global population but 25% of it’s prisoners”.

    Let me simplify Senator Jim Webb’s proposal:

    It asks for a National Commission to discuss and propose policy for prison reform.

    It’s that simple.

    I think it’s finally time to have this conversation. Don’t you? Contact your representative and affirm your support for Senator Webb’s proposal today.
