Obama admin. threatens to prosecute state employees who license medical marijuana dispensaries

"A letter from the Department of Justice, sent yesterday to Washington state Gov. Chris Gregoire (D), warned of the potential for criminal prosecutions of state employees who engage in the production of medical marijuana, which is now legally sanctioned in the state.

The message would seem to stand in stark contrast to the Obama administration's claim that they would not prosecute medical marijuana dispensaries that were operating within a state that had legalized it"

Note:  It really must hurt if you are one of the suckers that voted for this liar.  Of all the issues - this one is the most benign if legalized - but deadly and corrupting to our society at all levels if kept illegal.

This man is a liar.  He is supporting corruption.  Vote for Ron Paul.  Libertarians have no time to jail citizens and break up families for growing and using a medicinal herb.  

Obombyall drop bombs on the Pakistanis for their own good though.  He cares - really!  When are people going to wake up  and ...more importantly.....GROW UP!

Ontario judge strikes down marijuana laws

""Rather than promote health – the regulations have the opposite effect," he wrote in his decision [PDF]. "Rather than promote effective drug control – the regulations drive the critically ill to the black market.""

Note:  It is admirable that the legal system in Canada finally recognized a reality a two- year-old could have figured out.  Pay attention for the spin coming from the private prison-police-court industry here in the states as they sense their diminishing funds if people in the states get enough real news to notice the beneficial trends that are about to occur in Canada.

Meanwhile our researchers will continue to "study" this "controversial" issue - simply delaying via government inaction the inevitable regarding legalization here in the 'states.  The only delay now is to keep a lid on legalization while the fat cats decide who's gonna divy up the biggest pieces of the profits once it becomes legalized here.

Cash-strapped Long Beach seeks to tax marijuana

Read entire article HERE.

" Americans for Safe Access, the nation's leading medical marijuana advocacy group, opposes taxing medical marijuana because it believes the drub should be treated the same as any other doctor-prescribed medications, which are untaxed.

But if a tax must be enacted, spokesman Kris Hermes said, "the tax burden should be removed from the patient to the extent possible.""

Note: At the very least quit putting innocent people in jail for smoking a plant. The medical users should not be taxed - but if they are at least they can get the medicine they need.

Woman pleads guilty to growing marijuana

" “By stopping those individuals who grow illegal drugs, we are cutting off the distribution of drugs at the source,” Julia C. Dudley, acting U.S. attorney, said in a statement."
---------
Note: Julia C. Dudley is obviously mentally retarded - while the rest of humanity learns from history - especially American history that prohibition doesn't work - that prohibition is a fool's errand - didn't work before and isn't working now to address the "problem" of plants taking over the universe - that the endless "War on Drugs" is nothing but a gold mine for cops and lawyers, especially her - Julia wants to lock this poor woman up for growing a plant.

Julia C. Dudley is representative of our American injustice system - doing a great job locking up harmless citizens for nothing uttering senseless statements as if anyone believes wasting this poor Scottsville woman's life will have any impact on the phony undefinable "WAR ON DRUGS" - Julia - you are useless and pathetic. Why don't you do something about protecting the Bill of Rights? Or is there no money in that?

As far as I am concerned Julia C. Dudley is a typical American lawyer. Basically a waste.

'Legalize Marijuana' Bill Moves Forward

Read entire article here:

" But the vote was only a minor victory for the pro-legalization lobby. (AB 390 may very well die in the health committee.) The real test will come in November, when voters will consider the Regulate, Control, and Tax Cannabis Act of 2010, which, in a nutshell, will legalize pot for personal and agricultural use. (Recent polls show about 56 percent support the bill."
---------
Note: We can't legalize pot. What are we going to do with all of the assault rifles the police were able to justify for the "war on drugs?" What are we going to do with all of the police needed to fight this phony war used to trample on our rights? What are we going to do as unemployment surges with out-of-work lawyers, judges, prison guards, and cops who make a living locking up people for smoking a plant? What are we going to do with the ghost-towns the corporate prisons will become without peaceful non-violent pot-smokers to prey upon? This legalization of pot idea - there is no way our protectors can let this happen - after all - they would be taking away one of the biggest gravy trains for government teat-suckers ever invented.

No - our leeches in the criminal justice system need to keep the "reefer madness" concept alive so they can suck public funds, lock up non-violent people for committing victimless crimes, run their filthy corporate prisons, take kids away from their parents, and perform other public services while enriching themselves.
