夏威夷對大麻法律認為餵
2008年11月6日 佩里
我應該清除那，因為餵能意味「問候」或「告別」。 技術上，夏威夷未根除decriminalized大麻，但是它是 告訴執法看另一個方式 當它來到大麻。 并且，如果那聽起來不明，它是。
由53.1%到38.6%表決，夏威夷居民投票做大麻最低的執法優先權。 以我所见，它必要不是一個完全正面，因為根據新的法律：
…將投入法律的執行反對大麻到每警察的個人謹慎。
特別是當地方檢查官出來非法為正確的原因時，那聽起來一個危險地不明的情況區域對起因法律問題。
檢方律師傑伊Kimura說它形成了危險為執法官員：
我被反對此的段落。 我不相信它是可執行的如被寫。

Get Out and Vote, NOW!
November 4th, 2008 by PerryHere are the candidate’s stances on marijuana one final time in a bite-size, easily-consumable video. Additionally, this is also a reminder about the last time you have to think about voting for a while.
See you guys at the voting booth!
UPDATE: Thanks to Colin for getting us some backstory on the presidential decriminalization topic. It appears that Obama hasn’t always been rock steady in his opinions of legalization or decriminalization. MPP’s original, albeit short, video about Barack Obama can be found here.
Afterwards, a YouTube user by the name of MikeCANN created a response, showing quotes and other examples of Obama’s back & forth opinions - maybe angling to appease as many potential voters as possible. This video is embedded after the jump.
The MPP video that we have above is a more balanced version, and a direct response to MikeCANN’s efforts. On a side note, if you live in Boston, he books the music for the Boston Freedom Rally and has a ton of great videos on his profile page.
Thanks for the info Colin!

One More Reason to Get Out and Vote
October 22nd, 2008 by Perry
This strays from our scene a bit, and at the risk of getting preachy, I just wanted to throw one more reminder out there of why it counts to vote.
Although some may feel confident about Obama’s 10-point lead, or if you support McCain, and are discouraged, there’s a lot of reason not to be. Polls are often full of shit. Race and enthusiasm have been cited as influential factors which may inflate Obama’s lead, or McCain’s deficit, whichever way you look at it.
There’s the well-documented Bradley effect and the Buchanan effect and other reasons to believe that the election is still up in the air, other than the polls’ margin of error. We all know sometimes it feels like a coin flip between a douche and a turd sandwich, but get out there and vote. Doesn’t matter who, just vote.
Your Candidate’s Stance on Drugs
October 20th, 2008 by Perry
Okay. So even as a liberal I can admit the language is a little slanted in the comparison of the two sites, and are much kinder to the democratic candidate. But let’s be honest. It’s because the republican party is the one responsible for all of the lies about marijuana, dating back to the Nixon era. It’s called karma, deal with it.
A sampling from the site compares how McCain believes marijuana is a gateway drug, opposes legalization of marijuana and supports the death penalty for drug kingpins.
Obama, on the otherhand, acknowledges the medicinal power of marijuana, has vowed to end federal raids of dispensaries and supports rehabilitation over incarceration.
As voting time rapidly approaches, I know who I’ll be choosing.
