噢人，這是好消息為我。 就我是而論頑固分子NY巨人扇動，在星期天，并且我的隊播放Steelers， Santonio Holmes不可能有更好的時間得到 拉扯用大麻.
教練麥克Tomlin在意味的`不活潑的名單已經安置了第3年寬接收器』，沒有在匹茲堡退色路線或槽孔義務為第2臺主導的接收器。
因此說，他真正地很好處理了中止。 Santonio被承認警察他在之前，但未削弱的他的SUV抽煙天，當他得到了拉扯。 他遞了罐對官員和發布了與召喚和法院日期。
不幸地， Holmes有一些預先的法律問題，因此我們希望這較小違背可能得到迅速清掃在地毯之下…，在他們丟失對巨人之後。

聖・ Joaquin縣辯論MMJ卡片政策
2008年10月23日 佩里
縣官員提出了詢問 over whether or not they will be able to effectively enforce its new policies regarding the widespread use of its new medical marijuana card system. In an interview after the Board of Supervisors meeting, County Public Health Director Bill Mitchell had this to say:
Since the [state] law was passed, two or three people have called, somewhat routinely, asking when we were going to implement the program. Ornellas wonders if demand will explode from three people to 300.
The primary concern for city officials is with the technicalities and logistical problems that may and probably will arise once demand reaches higher levels. A legitimate concern, as the official notes several loopholes in the current legislation, which doesn’t designate exactly what constitutes a caregiver.
Will Legalization Help Anything?
October 23rd, 2008 by Alex
For Red Ribbon week, communities are raising the awareness of the dangers of drug use. The Ledger-Enquirer published a 2-page story with both the pro & con sides of marijuana legalization, titled “Simply legalizing marijuana may not fix issues with abuse”.
Will Henao, a 30-year old college student, is using it to point out the hypocrisy of the drug war. He writes:
A motorist can buy cigarettes and alcohol at a gas station. But anyone who buys marijuana can go to jail, along with hardened criminals. You’re locking someone up with a rapist, a killer, a child molester. Can you weigh it?
Following this point of view, Columbus Police Sgt. Rick Stinson argues that the argument for legalization is self-defeating when you look at the consequences of alcohol legalization. Officer Stinson argues that since alcohol is the most readily available drug to minors, making pot just as accessible will further endanger our children.
He then proceeds to tell a story about a kid who started smoking at 9 years old, because his Dad also smoked, and then was addicted for life. Preferring smoking weed to having freedom, he failed drug tests and had to go to jail.
There are more arguments, examples and points of view in the article. Some with merit, some without, but all sides can agree this is a complex issue without a single answer. It has to come down to a mix of personal responsibility and intelligent rules & regulations.
Will the people of this country be able to create a system that works for all sides? Only time will tell.
SF to Go Dutch on Prostitution Policy, Maybe
October 23rd, 2008 by Perry
The American city that continues to embody and pioneer radical left-wing politics, is at it again. On the November ballot, its citizens could be the first in the country to have legalized prostitution.
If Proposition K passed, the measure would prohibit local authorities from investigating, arresting or prosecuting anyone for selling sex. Advocates say it would free up roughly $11 million the police spend each year arresting prostitutes, and allow them to form collectives.
And let’s not forget about the working girl’s perspective. “It will allow workers to organize for our rights and for our safety,” said Patricia West, 22, who said she has been selling sex for about a year by placing ads on the internet. She moved to San Francisco in May from Texas to work on Proposition K.
Obama’s Top Prosecutor
October 23rd, 2008 by Perry
It’s cheeky and optimistic to start talking about who Obama would put in his cabinet, but it’s interesting to speculate since it could impact everyone’s lives. The attorney general helps set prosecutorial priority in the country, which has been aimed at drug offenders in the past eight years.
Based on his network and advisors, a blog lists two likely choices: Eric Holder, a partner with the firm of Covington & Burling, and Deval Patrick, the governor of Massachusetts. Again, the choices are pure speculation so don’t jump off the Obama ship just yet, but in 1997 according to NORML, Holder “proposed legislation to stiffen penalties for the possession of marijuana” while with the Justice Department.
For more information, the American Bar Assoication Journal provides a more in-depth analysis of the AG situation.
MMJ Ads Upset Leaders of Boston’s Finest
October 23rd, 2008 by AlexCongratulations to retired Sgt. Howard Donahue and retired Lt. Tom Nolan, formerly of the Boston Police Department, for winning our theFreshScent, co-Man of the Month award.
They submitted footage of themselves in uniform as police officers in television & radio ads supporting marijuana decriminalization. That’s right, add a couple more cops to the ‘level headed’ list.
Giving people the impression that law enforcement supports Question 2, which decriminalizes marijuana, has current city and law enforcement leaders irate. They argue that the former officers in no way asked permission to use the BPD brand, nor does the BPD actually endorse Question 2.
Oh yea? Well cry me a river. To use a line oft-repeated line as justification, since the government consistently fabricates negative MMJ statistics and dangers, the ends justify the means.
Listen to the radio ad above, and go vote Yes on Question 2 if you live in the Boston area.
