Great discussion - I have more to say but not today

"Teabagger" is used by Billy Mahr - that's so funny - Not. Laughing at people for getting together to start a party without knowing beforehand where it will lead is not joke material - well maybe tomorrow is a better day to deal with this.

1,800 Pounds Of Marijuana Found In Verona (Virginia)

Read entire article here:

"Frankly, we may never determine where that marijuana was placed on the truck or who placed it there," Hanger said."

Note: This is the finest detective work one would expect from our police - an accidental discovery that turns out to be their biggest find ever - and they may never find out whodunnit. Since they are so good at their jobs - and brave - oh yeah they are brave - here's a tip for them to track down in the video below-something tells me nobody wants to touch that one...

A Generational Moment for Drug Policy Reformers

Read entire article here:

" It all centers around a man named Henry Walter Wooten, a 54-year-old Texas resident who will likely be spending the rest of his life behind bars. That’s because a jury in Tyler sentenced him to 35 years in jail after he was caught in possession of just over a quarter pound of marijuana. The prosecutor in Smith County originally sought 99 years, due to the man’s prior felony convictions in the 80s and his proximity to a day care center, deep within one of the dreaded “drug free zones” where legal penalties become much more stiff.

...Wooten’s sentence is identical to the punishment dealt to Alejandro Arreola, who was given 35 years in jail by a jury in Del Rio, Texas for his involvement in a multimillion dollar marijuana smuggling ring. Arreola, according to reports, transported over 24 TONS of the stuff into the United States. His accomplice, Casey Bob Hutto, got 24 years."

Note: Gotta' make you drug enforcement people proud. Also all you lawyers, jailers, judges and other assorted conviction artists. Nice work locking up another person for nothing.

Keep that gravy train rolling! We're all so proud of our boys in drug enforcement! Oh we're proud of the stupid women too. I'm gonna' sleep really good tonight knowing you got this one off the streets. You've saved the women and children from plants - but can't do a thing about murder, usury, wars everywhere, unemployment (other than protecting your own sorry ass) - I guess that's enough.

It seems that the people involved in this phony war on drugs would operate gas chambers for a living if they were told to do it - just following orders you see. Pathetic.

Medical studies show cannabis effective for treating pain, spasms

Read entire article here:

" With the results of a medical study summarized by a new report delivered to the California state legislature, the California Center for Medicinal Cannabis Research (CMCR) claims it has established scientific proof that inhaled cannabis holds medical value at or above the level of conventional prescription medicines used for a variety of ailments."
---------
Note: Recently here in the Charlottesville area they locked up a woman for growing pot plants. Below is part of the idiotic statement made by Julia C. Dudley acting U.S. attorney. We owe her our thanks for saving the world from plants, and for protecting her job by locking up people for growing medicine. Thanks Julia for wasting taxpayer money and destroying lives for nothing. Keep collecting your paycheck. I hope you feel good about Americans rotting in jail over a plant.

'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.

In Louisiana, a mother and son went to jail for growing this

Check out the article - but I will post one of the comments I found under this article where it was posted on Prison Planet:

"December 31st, 2009 at 12:48 pm

They just want to save you from the dreaded disease reefer madness! If too many people start smoking this stuff the whole country will go to hell. We might let the government steal all the money, start unnecessary wars, make us take poison vaccines… Do you see what I mean? This stuff is very dangerous, it can actually wake you up to what is going on in the world, you wouldn’t want that would you??? DON’T SMOKE THE DOPE!!! Send it to me I’ll make sure it is properly disposed of, really I will!…. Good luck in the coming turmoil…. Biker"

Note: That's America - send two citizens to jail for growing a plant (OOOOHHH!) but let torturers and murderers run free. Usury is OK too. So is using slave labor to increase profits. Thank you, my great justice system, for your great work. I feel so good knowing cops are secure in their jobs imprisoning people for this idiocy, lawyers get rich off this crazy system, and the public pays them to send themselves to jail. Oh well, supposedly we are the ones making our own laws right?

Obama ends Bush secrecy policy, launches ‘declassification center’

Read more here:

" In an executive order issued Tuesday, President Barack Obama ended a Bush-era policy that allowed the head of the US's intelligence agencies to have the final word on the declassification of documents"
---------
Note: I'm just sitting here waiting for something good to say about our peace-loving president. Perhaps this is the second move he's made I can say thanks for - the first being getting the insane Feds off the cannabis people out in California. The people supporting the war on marijuana remind me of the inquisition. Anybody sending a person to jail for smoking a plant is simply insane.
