Wekelijkse (aangaande) knoeiboel: 10.24.07

24 oktober, 2007 langs Alex

De yankees zouden het niet aan de Reeks van de Wereld kunnen gemaakt hebben dit jaar, maar cheer op Newyorkers, u is #1 bij het arresteren van zwarte/Spaanse mensen voor rokende marihuana. Zie? Het is niet alle frowns.

Was dat wat koude? Ik ben droevig. Geen ben ik niet.

Het is echt droevig om Joe Torre te zien als dit uitgaan, en alhoewel aantrek zou Mattingly omhoog kunnen beëindigen krijgend de baan en zijnd een grote bus, zal niemand Joe in de spelersogen vervangen. Het zou als Phil Jackson verlatend Lakers (opnieuw) of Bill Belichik die de Patriotten verlaat zijn. Geen enkel goed voor iedereen in het algemeen.

De wet-zware en gerechtelijke cultuur van Amerika is absoluut uniek in deze wereld. Tim Wu, een professor van de lei van de School van de Wet van Colombia, heeft uiterst geschreven gedachte-veroorzakend onderzoek van constant gebroken wetten.

Deze reeks onderzoekt de zwarte vlekken in Amerikaanse wet: de gebieden waarin onze wetten uit routine en regelmatig gebroken zijn en waar de reactie van de wetshandhaving is? niets. Dit zijn de gebieden waar, voor één reden of een andere, wij hebben beslist het lawbreaking te tolereren en een wet te laten? behoorlijk bepaald en nog op de boeken? leg braakakker of nader volkomen.

De onderwerpen strekken zich van voorschriftdruggebruik uit aan auteursrechtkwesties en is niet voor de lichte lezer.

Het duidelijke contrast tussen de nieuwe wet (die op de boeken in antwoord op een specifieke oorzaak wordt geplaatst) en de het rotten wet (langzaam toegestaan om weg zonder enige fanfare langzaam te verdwijnen) benadrukt hoe onze grondleggers niet van dachten alles wanneer het samenvoegen van onze vorm van overheid.

Ik weet wij, maar de 7de Jaarlijkse Hoog Tijden laat zijn Steenachtige Toekenning waren vorige week.

Hier is Tera Patrick sprekend over zijnd een presentator.

Hier is lowdown op allen Steenachtig winnaars en de attendee lijst.

Terwijl ik op het onderwerp van beroemde ontpitters ben, Marc & Amaril Jodie debuted enkel hun documentaire op CBC Newsworld in Canada. De prins van Pot is nog het overnemen van Amerika en, zoals altijd, het ervoor zorgen van het proces goed gedocumenteerd is.

Ik wens dit zij zouden ophouden documenterend Amy Winehouse en haar minder belangrijke potten looppas-ins. Ik zie een nieuwsartikel op dit meisje twee keer per week nu, moeten er zijn iets interessanter om te rapporteren over. Recht?

Alvorens u het kent zal zij zich aan Manilla bewegen en zal beginnen taxiritten van te krijgen deze kerel.

###

Voel niet als reizende stijl Winehouse? Geen kwestie waar u gaat, zal er altijd wat zijn marihuanainformatie wereldwijd wachten.

Of u wilt binnen roken Kazachstan of Bernardsville, New Jersey de meer informatie beter.

The major US cities have information on legality, smoking tolerance level, law enforcement, where to buy your pot and local area prices. Everything one would need to know when traveling into unfamiliar territory.

###

Fun Fact: North Americans are most likely to search the internet for pot.

I could have told them that.

Let’s hope that the author of the following blog isn’t being affected by the deadly San Diego fires.

In the meantime, he has written an honest, first-person experience of the San Diego medical marijuana system.

As I came to find out, San Diego county had previously shut down every medical marijuana dispensary in San Diego county saying they were influencing youth to take up dangerous drugs. In my area we have no readily available source for medical marijuana other than grow it ourselves (which is what I do) or go to a “dealer”. This needs to be brought to the publics attention as it is leaving many legitimately sick people such as me without the access to the medicine they need.

This illustrates the challenge that legitimate patients are having to get their medicine, and how even in big cities people are forced to go to the streets to get marijuana if they aren’t in a position to grow some. How this makes any of us safer is beyond me.

Luckily for all of us, the prohibition movement is nothing but a downhill battle. Mass incarceration just isn’t a sustainable solution.

In Canada, they are already turning the corner. A judge has just recently declared that “marijuana prohibition has no valid force or effect.” Read on to see the entire legal memorandums and why they might be important for a simple possession case to have an impact on a constitutional level.

October is heading into full swing and everyone knows what that means. Lots of delicious beer marijuana arrests.

Everyone from college students to hardcore, drug trafficking gangsters are getting tagged.

I’m just happy that our tax dollars are getting spent responsibly. As long as my salary goes towards important stuff like minor pot arrests, and not wasteful things like outfitting our troops with IED resistant armored vehicles, I can sleep easy at night.

Might as well lighten the mood with a cross-dressing, English comedian talking about the stoned olympics. Wait, what?

The human brain sure is a mystery. Some people find new Eddie Murphy movies funny and others don’t like Dave Chappelle. Go figure.

(Interesting Side Note: Dave was offered the roll of Bubba, Tom Hank’s best friend, in Forrest Gump. He turned it down because he felt the part was too racially motivated.)

What we do know about the brain, and what’s also good for all of us, is that it’s built with marijuana in mind. Thank you cannabinoid receptors. Thank you.

###

That said, not everyone who decides to partake in the greenery has a brain built to function on it.

Some are complete fucking morons. No surprise, right?

###

Who’s sick of all the camo clothing coming out lately? Not me.

Even though I think this might be a base attempt at associating a product with a beneficial cause to increase sales, they’re still doing some good.

###

Politics and politicians are an interesting affair. Want to know how your candidate feels about medical marijuana?

Watch for yourself.

Want to see an unusual point of view? Listen to this guy.

While matters might not be moving forward as quickly as we’d hope in the states, things seem to be improving in the Czech Republic. Not exactly close to home, I know.

What would a giant do if he needed a glass pipe or bowl with some personality? If only we knew.

Not a giant? Maybe you can pretend to be one in Nintendo 64? Ah well, at least you can now smoke while getting your brain scanned.

There is a lot of movement and uncertainty in the global economy right now. Not just for the major markets like housing and financial lending, but also for the marijuana micro-economy.

In North America, the fall of the US dollar combined with the subsequent raise in value of the Canadian dollar, has slowed transportation of BC & other Northern buds from making their way down to America. The dangers of smuggling across the US border, lack of increased financial benefit, and higher demand from domestic cities have all combined to keep growers thinking local.

In addition, many Mexican cartels have moved into rural Texas, New Mexico and Arizona to start stateside grow operations. These cartels can produce plenty of weight for cheap and don’t have to deal with the increased surveillance of the US-Mexico border.

How is this trend going to affect us? Less availability of higher quality strains for the recreational smoking population in the Northwest - Portland and Seattle. We might also see low-weight prices of Northern strains raise for the recreational and medical communities. Damn loonies.

###

What has law enforcement taught us this week?

First, the candy business isn’t all sweetness and laughter. Second, one ton is a hell of a lot of marijuana. Third, Kern County is paying attention so you better pack some insurance.

As always, way too many Americans are being arrested for smoking weed. This costs money.

###

The current political spotlight on Blackwater, the private security contractor, doesn’t seem to be diminishing just yet. They even managed to grab a piece of the privatized War on Drugs.

###

Here comes the segue…

The War on Drugs: A Success Story - a sobering look at the very simple hole that todays possession laws can sink you in to.

From Olive Garden, to Universal Studios, to Smith & Nephew, and even back to Walgreens, it seemed that no one would touch him. Why? Because a few months prior, he [Danny] liked to smoke a little weed every once in a while, and eventually he got caught for it.

Luckily, this story shows the power of community and the ability that positive, constructive comments have to lift ones spirits. What would you do faced with a similar dilemma?
