49% of American prison population due to War on Drugs
2006-12-01 00:17:18
The Republican-sponsored War on Drugs is filling American jails far faster than the spin and crap they tell us in the mainstream media. WASHINGTON (AP) — A record 7 million people - or one in every 32 American adults - were behind bars, on probation or on parole by the end of last year, according to [...] Tags:


Marijuana and Terrorism In America
2006-11-29 04:35:02
5 Years Later: A Preface for 12/2006 I wrote and posted this at originally marijuana.com in December 2001, not even three months after the Day that Changed Everything(tm). Team Bush had not yet been in office a year and were already in trouble with people, We lamented their stealing the election, the Florida vote recount issue, and [...] Tags:

Calling ‘Bullshit’ on America
2006-11-28 01:33:46
This is from Daily Kos and it’s long, filled with great photo montages and despite the incendinary title, it’s a pretty good overview of what I call the culture war. Of course the War on the Weed is part of this excellent work. Our nation, culture, and political system are all steeped in lies, contradictions, distortions, and [...] Tags:

Job 1: Marijuana arrests a higher police priority than violent crime
2006-11-27 12:10:56
Here’s a real look at Government priorities in a way that only thier stats can tell you: Cops in America set a new record for arresting more people for touching marijuana (for that is all “possession” means - touching) than for all violent crime s combined. Reefer Madness truly is Job 1 for police in America. Look [...] Tags:

Mind-Altering National Charade to Keep Patients From the Joint
2004-12-01 01:12:15
by Pierre Tristam | Tuesday, November 30, 2004 by the Daytona Beach | Common Dreams Both my parents are retired, scoping 70, in poorer health than they deserve and living in so-called assisted-living facilities. Their room, board, supervised pill-popping and shepherded time-killing add up to a $300-a-day raid on their life savings. It’s remarkable that [...] Tags:

You Can Drink Yourself to Death, But You Can't Smoke Pot
2006-12-01 12:41:04
Another outstanding article by One Pissed Off Liberal! I am a long-time supporter of NORML, the National Organization for Reform of Marijuana Laws. I am a supporter because I support what they stand for, not because I'm impressed with their progress. Thirty-some years is a long time, it seems to me, to get a simple thing [...] Tags:

12 Year Study: Marijuana not - repeat NOT - a “gateway drug”
2006-12-06 12:50:13
Science Blog Marijuana is not a "gateway" drug that predicts or eventually leads to substance abuse, suggests a 12-year University of Pittsburgh study. Moreover, the study's findings call into question the long-held belief that has shaped prevention efforts and governmental policy for six decades and caused many a parent to panic upon discovering a bag of [...] Tags:

Tucson military recruiters trafficking cocaine, marijuana
2006-12-17 18:51:15
Ho ho ho. Two military recruiting stations sit side-by-side there, one run by the Army, the other by the Marines. Between them, a total of seven recruiters were on the take, secretly accepting bribes to transport cocaine, even as most spent their days visiting local high schools. They had help from several more recruiters at an Army [...] Tags:

Thanks, Prohibition! Pot tops US cash crops
2006-12-19 01:46:46
Here’s a job well done, if there ever was one. Cannabis prohibition causes cannabis, a useful and non-dangerous (safer than beer, wine, gasoline, motorcycles, guns, or sharp pencils) weed to be valued higher than gold. This is a simple fact: without the prohibition it’s value would be nominal. Well, thanks to all the effort, all the time, and [...] Tags:

4th Amendment Quandry: Cops want bullet from teen’s head

Prosecutors say it will prove that Bush, 17, [...] Tags:

Ex-Drug warrior to atone for his sins.
2006-12-27 21:46:19
A man hailed as one of the “best” narcotics officers “ever”, partly due to the sheer amount of stuff he acquired for the police - through forfeiture laws - while exploiting America’s “war on Drugs”, is releasing a video called ‘Never Get Busted Again’. A one-time Texas drug agent described by his former boss [...] Tags:

Well, Folks, …. here we go again: another narcotics unit botches another raid and kills another old person . No, this is not about Ms. Kathryn Johnson, an elderly woman gunned down in her home here in Atlanta last November by “Atlanta’s Finest” during a “no-knock” raid. You can, however, be forgiven for thinking it was. After [...] Tags:

700% increase in the US Prison Population in 35 years: Are we safer?
2007-02-15 17:04:01
The growth of America’s Prison population is currently 3 times the rate of its generic population growth. The report by the Pew Charitable Trusts said one in 178 US residents will live in prison by 2011 and the increase could cost American taxpayers another 27.5 billion dollars over the next five years in jail spending. “After [...] Tags:

Feds sued for (constantly) lying about medical marijuana.
2007-02-22 04:20:50
Cannabis prohibition - the laws and enforment thereof against the cannabis or “marijuana” plant - has never had the first shred of genuine necessity. Until 1937 or therabouts - let’s not quibble about such articulars - cannabis medcines were part of the American Apothecary and pretty much no big deal. Check out these old medicine bottles.
