Funny you mentioned John English and his articles... I gave him a double blow. Incidently Russ, the article I am working on is about dealing out the Shotgun of Truth.

Legalizing MJ for responsible adult use should include educating people of the truths (the real ones) about MJ. It also should include someone creating a program to replace DARE in our schools. One that teaches our kids to respect all drugs accordingly. Our kids are SO much smarter and aware now than they were when even my kids were in school. They know more about the truths of the cannabis plant than many adults (such as the author of that article). We are working hard to legalize cannabis for responsible adult use and industrial use in the US Virgin Islands. Tonight I listened to the Governor give a speech about how the Rum Industry is going to save the USVI, they are creating and selling RUM BONDS to fund the waste water treatment plant needed to support the newest Captain Morgan's facility that is being built. Hell, we are proposing IMMEDIATELY bringing in over $3.5 Million in registration (local and visitor fees) fees the first year alone. That is without any special tax breaks or bonds being issued. And that doesn't include any business taxes from Cannabis based businesses or the registration/licensing of the growers and business licenses. The only initial outlay would be a contract for the services of a company to maintain the registration process - instant registration smart cards that will be scanned at point of sale locations where cannabis products are sold - to verify only the validity of the purchaser. - and it will serve as the database for the government (registration info only). And this contract would serve to SAVE the govt. money and ensure accuracy/timeliness/security of information. Does he not see that in the 3-5 years it will take them to get the production of the newest Rum factory up, we could be bringing in MILLIONS of dollars in revenue and additional TOURISM dollars to the Territory IMMEDIATELY? Sorry for the rant Russ. It all goes to education. EDUCATE EDUCATE EDUCATE!!!

I even sent them links to the many studies that you have provided us here at the stash to them so they could better fact check. I also suggest they publish an article about legalizing marijuana so that it could be regulated controlled and better protect the children that way. Funny thing is they seem to have pulled the article. which apparently was a reprint from a year or so ago. Now there is this article on their site http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/opinion/letters/bal-marijuanaletter1006,0,149840.story The civil outrage in the comment section was also funny. But the great news is slowly but surely we are winning. 8-) one propaganda based article shot down at a time. It also seems the infamous John English of examiner in is infinite ignorance has also stopped publishing.
