Let’s refer back to the Karschner et al study in a previous post. In that study, 25 regular heavy cannabis consumers were tested. When they walked in the door, eleven of the twenty-five had no detectable levels of THC in blood, even after smoking anywhere from 2 to 10 blunts that day. Another thirteen had levels below 5ng/mL. Only one subject was above 5ng that day, and she dropped below 5ng the next day. That’s first-hand smoking, people. Almost half of the first-hand smokers would beat this zero tolerance standard (one had no detectable levels after smoking a half ounce that day.)

It’s a tough question and not an easy one to answer. Dedicated activists I’ve known my whole career disagree on this. I am in support, because when it comes down to the bottom line, politics is war by civil means, and I cannot give aid and comfort to the enemy. I cannot cast a vote knowing I’m voting with the Drug Czar, the cops, the private prison industry, the black market weed dealers, and the Mexican Drug Gangs.

Residents of Colorado will have the opportunity to vote in favor of ending marijuana prohibition this November. Today, the “Regulate Marijuana Like Alcohol Act” was approved for the ballot by Colorado Secretary of State Scott Gessler. With this confirmation, Colorado now joins Washington as one of two states where measures specific to legalizing cannabis will appear on the electoral ballot.

So we can complain about I-502′s flaws and vote against it, just like the DEA, the cops, and the Mexican Drug Cartels want you to vote, and we can direct our limited volunteer time, money, talent, and focus on other initiatives that will divide and confuse the electorate and dilute our base. Or we can get behind the initiative that has made the ballot, that does have major financial support, that does have unprecedented big-name law enforcement support, and is polling above 55% and we can vote to become the first state in America to legalize marijuana.

A bill in Washington state asking for the DEA to re-classify marijuana has gone an important step forward. Senate Joint Memorial 8017 is just the very latest pressure that the states are using to try and get the door open to more sensible medical marijuana laws. Earlier this week, Washington State Governor Chris Gregoire joined [...]

Today I got a negative comment on the Washington State I-502 initiative, which has just now officially been sent to the legislature that can make it law, send it to the people, or offer a different version along with the initiative to the people. For those who don’t know, I-502 proposes to legalize possession of an [...]
