DOG SHOT IN BOTCHED DRUG RAID

London police shot and killed a family dog after a botched drug raid on the
wrong apartment Wednesday.

Police Chief Brian Collins has launched a full investigation to determine
how the mistake was made.

"He's my lifeline," Marcie Carroll said of her six-year-old dog, Bear.

Carroll, 22, said she is unable to have children and Bear, a German
Shepherd and Lab cross, was her son.

"He's as important to me as anyone's child and now he's gone.

"How are you supposed to trust the police? If I jumped in front of him,
would I get shot, too?" she asked through tears.

DETAILS HORRIFYING IN KILLING OF DOG

I am horrified about the information I have read thus far about the actions
of our police when they killed Marcie Carroll's dog, Bear.

It appears to me a likely scenario may have involved police breaking into
an apartment, a family pet understandably making some effort to defend its
home, the police kicking the dog (dog missing teeth), the dog running away
and being shot from behind.

If this was the case, police should be accountable for their reprehensible
conduct.

CHIEF PROMISES REDRESS IN DOG CASE

As chief of police and speaking on behalf of all the men and women of the
London Police Service, I understand the concern of the London community with
respect to the shooting of the dog during the execution of a search warrant
and, most importantly, as I stated on learning of this incident, our
sympathy goes out to the innocent victim in this case.

As a thorough and detailed investigation is now under way to determine all
the facts and circumstances that led to this unfortunate and regrettable
incident, I am not in a position at this time to speculate on the result.

However, regardless of the outcome, the basic facts do not change and an
innocent person suffered the loss of a family pet. I can assure the
community that, working with the victim and her lawyer, London Police
Service, mindful of the trauma caused, is determined to resolve this matter
in a manner that will, with caring and concern, address the needs of the
victim. I view the resolution of this matter, not only a professional
responsibility, in my position as chief of police, but also, as a community
member, a community responsibility.

Further, notwithstanding the foregoing regrettable circumstances, the men
and women of the London Police Service shall continue to give dedicated,
professional police service to the community and I can assure the community
that when we do falter, we learn from it, correct mistakes and endeavour to
grow and improve.

SHOOTING OF DOG WOULD BE DEVASTATING

As a dog owner, I would like to say how sorry I feel for that poor woman,
Marcie Carroll, and her dog, Bear.

I think it was terrible police went to the wrong address and shot and
killed her dog, not to mention what she must have endured.

Any dog, faced with the situation of police officers in riot gear breaking
down the door, would obviously try to protect its home. I just hope there
are no drug dealers living in my area, as I would be devastated if the
police went to the wrong house and shot my dog. I know I speak for a lot of
people, who feel as I do.

CAN BHANG BE LEGALISED?

Bhang goes by many names. Some call it marijuana, others kaya, iley,
calley, opium, or ganja. In some local languages, it is known as enyasore,
njaga, enjaka or sikhwabi. But botanists and other scientists call it
cannabis sativa.

Over the years, the consumption and trade in this herb has been extremely
controversial world-wide.

Kenya's statute books make it an offence to possess, cultivate and sell the
herb. If caught by the long arm of the State, one can be fined up to Sh10
million, or imprisoned for not less than 10 years. It can even attract a
lifetime sentence.

Before the laws on sale and consumption of the drug were amended in the mid
1990s, it was only murder that was not bailable. But today, anyone found
with the herb cannot be bonded pending the hearing and determination of the
case.

'I knew they would be coming'
OPP raids business of man who helps users of medicinal marijuana

Kelly Egan
The Ottawa Citizen


Monday, November 04, 2002

RENFREW -- In February 1993, Ed Sweet, on a clean and sober morning, began a new stage in
his life by nearly ending it. He flew wildly over a bump on a snowmobile, landing 30 metres
away with a broken back, a severed spinal cord and a rattled cranium. He was in a coma for
three weeks. When he woke up, his trade as a drywaller, 18 years in the making, was over.

Mr. Sweet, now 42, learned to live in a wheelchair, went back to complete his Grade 12, and cast
about for new prospects. Turns out permanent paralysis wasn't a great  addition.

So, with the help of a job counsellor, Mr. Sweet was able to sneak into a government
program aimed at helping the disabled back to work.

With $1,200 a month in government assistance for the first year, he was able to open
Sweet Hydroponic Gardens, a hydroponic shop operating on the edge of town near the tourist
information booth. And, to relieve the spasms in his atrophied legs, he smoked marijuana
-- and grew it too -- in his home. He doesn't attempt to hide this illegal conduct. "The
day I opened the door on this place, I knew they would be coming," Mr. Sweet said last
week. Oct. 4 was the day.

Mr. Sweet said about a dozen police officers, some holding rifles and wearing bullet-proof
vests, burst into the front and side doors of his business at about noon, as he worked behind
the counter.

As an officer read from a search warrant, others fanned out through the store,
photographing item after item. After a thorough search, they seized his daily supply
of marijuana, some photographs of flowering plants and a book about hydroponic
growing.

When he was told his home would be searched too, he handed over the keys and told
the officers where to find his little grow operation. There, they found 10 marijuana
plants, only three of which had any value, Mr. Sweet said. He did not know it at the
time, but OPP drug squad officers, on the same day, had raided a residence in town
 and shot a man in the stomach. They weren't playing around.

In the intervening month, Mr. Sweet has not been charged with any offence, though
the name of his business has been bandied about in news stories. Ever since, he has
stewed, even writing an open letter to the Renfrew Mercury, rallying support.

"I don't think it's right for them to search my business and try to ruin my reputation,"
said Mr. Sweet, who is married with a teenaged daughter.

"This has nothing to do with my business. I've put my house on the line to open this
business. I'm here six days a week, eight hours a day. "Smoking marijuana has not
hurt me in any way, shape or form. I am not a bum."

The OPP drug squad declined to comment on the matter, except to say charges are
pending.

Mr. Sweet feels like a man caught between colliding -- if not outright hypocritical --
government initiatives on the use of medical marijuana.

In July 2001, Health Canada made it legal for marijuana to be used in "compassionate"
cases, such as for those suffering from serious illnesses. Applicants had to obtain a
licence, however, and a second licence to grow their own supply.

Among the categories for compassionate relief are terminal illnesses, AIDS, multiple
sclerosis, spinal cord injuries, some types of cancer, severe forms of arthritis and
epilepsy. A declaration from at least one specialist is also required and the physician
must first attempt "all conventional treatments."

However, the largest malpractice fund in Canada sent a letter a year ago to 60,000
physicians with a stern warning: doctors could expose themselves to lawsuits and
disciplinary action if they prescribe marijuana without detailed knowledge of the
drug's risks, benefits and dosage.

Such information, the Canadian Medical Protective Association was quick to add, is
not available, putting physicians in an impossible position.

Barrys Bay lawyer Rick Reimer, who has an exemption to use marijuana for his
multiple sclerosis, said the federal government has simply tossed the "hot potato" into
the laps of Canada's doctors.

"They, in turn, are acting in a predictable way by saying 'we're not going to make that
decision'." He also said the number of legal plants assigned to an individual with a
licence is ridiculously low, far below the number required for a steady supply.

As a result, he estimated about 90 per cent of the medical marijuana being used in
Canada comes from the black market. Mr. Sweet has about 15 clients who have
licences to use marijuana for medical reasons. He says it's his job to help them grow
better weed, so the patients can have a reliable supply of medicine. He can't get his
own licence, however, because he can't find a physician to approve its use. The
alternative is a prescription drug that makes him lethargic.

"What? You have to be terminally ill?" asked Mr. Sweet. The icing on the cake, for
him, was a call about two years ago from an official in the office of Allan Rock, then
Canada's health minister, looking for information about the hydroponic growing of
marijuana for medical users.

Here he is providing advice to federal policy makers on how medical users can grow
marijuana, helping the same people grow it, needing it himself, running a shop set up
with government funds, and getting busted on the side.

"I've learned a few things from being in this chair," said Mr. Sweet. "I don't think I'm
in the wrong."

The preliminary hearing for Matthew Scott Macosko, who carries a medical

11 ounces of marijuana for sale.

His attorney said he had a bad feeling about retired Judge Terrance Finney.

THE BEST MEDICINE?

In Louisiana, qualified patients are supposed to be able to legally use
pot. But so far, the state's medical marijuana laws are nothing but smoke.

Until last August, Wesley Sarradet resided quietly in his childhood home in
the West Baton Rouge Parish community of Brusly, with his 92-year-old
grandmother, two guns and a closet full of pot.

Sarradet has lived in the three-bedroom home for 42 years. Born with
spastic cerebral palsy, he receives a modest income from Social Security.
The guns were for security. The marijuana plants provided a source of
relief, he says, from uncontrollable muscle spasms that plague him daily
and keep him awake at night.

The quiet existence and the security erupted last summer. Sarradet says
narcotics agents busted down his kitchen door with a battering ram in the
middle of the night.

Sept. 5, when loud shouts and stomping woke Valerie Corral at her home
north of Santa Cruz, Calif. Suspecting that the intruders weren't ordinary

Subject: Laundering Drug Profits with Cigarette's !!!!

EU Alleges Mob Ties to Tobacco
By Henry Weinstein and Myron Levin
Times Staff Writers

October 31 2002

The European Union accused tobacco giant R.J. Reynolds in a lawsuit Wednesday of selling black-market cigarettes to drug traffickers and mobsters, helping them launder profits from their illegal activities.

The 149-page complaint describes in detail Reynolds' allegedly corrupt business dealings in Europe and Latin America, including with members of the Italian Mafia and Russian organized crime, Colombian drug cartels and high government officials in the Balkans.

RJR executives "at the highest corporate level" made it "part of their operating business plan to sell cigarettes to and through criminal organizations and to accept criminal proceeds in payments for cigarettes by secret and surreptitious means," the suit alleges.

The complaint was filed late Wednesday, and RJR spokesman Seth Moskowitz said the company could not fully respond before reviewing it. "However, at first glance it appears that this complaint is related" to a case "which has been dismissed," Moskowitz said.

The suit continues the EU's legal assault on Reynolds and other tobacco companies that it claims have cheated member states of billions of taxes over the years through collusion with smugglers.

The EU's earlier complaint against RJR and Philip Morris Cos. was dismissed in February by a federal judge in Brooklyn, N.Y., on grounds that it was barred by the "revenue rule," a centuries-old common-law doctrine that generally prohibits foreign governments from collecting tax defaults through U.S. courts. The EU has appealed the dismissal.

In dismissing the case, U.S. District Judge Nicholas G.Garaufis said he would consider a suit based on money-laundering violations, rather than tax recovery. In response, the EU filed this suit and is expected to file a similar suit against Philip Morris and Japan Tobacco Inc. in the coming months.

The suit filed Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Brooklyn paints a world in which contraband cigarettes have become the currency of choice in Europe for money laundering ÷ and where one of the world's major tobacco companies allegedly aided and abetted the criminals.

The lawsuit lists bank accounts in Switzerland, Italy, Cyprus, Liechtenstein, the Isle of Jersey and the Netherlands and identifies wire transfers usedas part of money-laundering schemes.

The suit also asserts that RJR entities frequently changed banks where the company was going to receive payments from illicit sales to escape detection by U.S. law enforcement. "This process was known within RJR as 'musical banks,' " according to the suit.

In contrast to the earlier suit, the complaint does not seek recovery of lost tax revenue or customs duties, because the judge found such claims were barred. Instead, it seeks alleged losses resulting from money laundering, including law enforcement expenditures and other costs. The complaint does not ask for a specific amount of damages, but it says the EU's losses are in the hundreds of millions.

The lawsuit presents a purported marriage of convenience between tobacco executives seeking to expand their markets in Europe and criminal gangs needing to launder profits from narcotics and weapons trafficking and extortion, and accomplishing this through the purchase and sale of RJR brands.

"Throughout the European community, cigarettes and narcotics are routinely part of the same criminal transactions, and the incidence of such violence associated with such trade is rising rapidly around the world," the suit alleges.

"Throughout the 1990s and continuing to the present day, a primary means by which ... cocaine proceeds are laundered is through the purchase and sale of cigarettes, including those manufactured by the RJR defendants. Cocaine sales in the European community are facilitated through money-laundering operations in Colombia, Panama, Switzerland and elsewhere, which utilize RJR cigarettes as the money-laundering vehicle," the suit asserts.

Similarly, the suit contends that RJR cigarettes are used as a money-laundering vehicle for heroin sales in the European Community.

The allegations are unusually stark and detailed, in contrast to many civil lawsuits that lay out charges in a general form with few specifics.

The suit was filed by three U.S. law firms, but they drew upon information gathered by law enforcement in Italy and other countries.

The suit asserts that RJR's motivation for dealing with criminal organizations was to increase its market share. RJR has benefited from these illicit relations by increasing sales and profit margins "because they require the criminals to pay a premium for their cigarettes and/or subject the criminals to sales and credit terms that are more favorable to [RJR] than those granted to legitimate customers," the suit states.

Among the other allegations in the lawsuit, RJR moved its cigarettes through the Balkans in the 1990s by means of illicit payments to corrupt government officials, including the current president of Montenegro, Milo Djukanovic, and the deceased former head of the Montenegro's Foreign Investment Agency, Milutin Lalic.

The suit says payments came from a company founded by Italian organized crime figures that had the official sanction of the investment agency and operated under the protection of Djukanovic. The company, Montenegrin Tabak Transit, was granted exclusive rights to move cigarettes through the Port of Montenegro, and over time made millions of dollars in payments to members of the Yugoslav federal government and Montenegrin regional governments, including Djukanovic and Lilic, the lawsuit states.

It says RJR executives and distributors were well aware that such "licensing fees" were being paid to facilitate the movement of their brands. They "traveled to Montenegro on a regular basis to inspect their cigarettes and service their customers and, as such, were well aware of these practices," the lawsuit states.

According to European press reports, Italian authorities have opened a criminal investigation into alleged involvement by Djukanovic with Mafia-run smuggling operations. Djukanovic has denied any involvement with the contraband trade.

The suit also alleges that throughout the 1990s and continuing to this day, RJR has violated U.S. trade sanctions against Iraq by shipping billions of cigarettes into that country through intermediaries.

According to the lawsuit, those profiting from the trade include Uday Hussein, the son of Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein, and the PKK, a Kurdish independence group based in northern Iraq that the U.S. has classified as a terrorist organization.

For most of this time the cigarettes followed a circuitous route from an RJR plant in Puerto Rico to European ports, and on through Cyprus to Turkey, where they were trucked across the border into Iraq, the suit states.

Although Japan Tobacco acquired RJR's international business for $8 billion in 1999, the lawsuit says RJR remained involved in this trade at least through May 2001 under a "transitional services agreement" with Japan Tobacco.

The allegations of illegal trade with Iraq also are the subject of a criminal investigation by U.S. authorities. As The Times reported in May, the probe is being conducted by the U.S. Customs Service and the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York.

One of the most stunning allegations in the suit was that RJR entities participated in and "received the proceeds of a massive money-laundering scheme through the Bank of New York." That bank was at the center of a federal investigation of Russian money laundering in the U.S. in the 1990s, which led to indictments and guilty pleas of a bank vice president and her husband. But until this suit was filed, there never had been any public allegation that RJR was connected to this scandal.

According to the new suit, the money-laundering scheme was created by Russian organized crime, including narcotics traffickers. In the scheme, a group of bank entities, some legitimate and some fabricated, opened correspondent accounts with the Bank of New York. Through the correspondent banks and the Bank of New York, the suit alleges, Russian criminals were able to launder hundreds of millions of dollars.

"The RJR defendants were the prime beneficiaries of this money-laundering enterprise," receiving millions of dollars per month in payments through the Bank of New York that constituted the proceeds of Russian organized crime, including narcotics trafficking, the suit alleges. EU lawyers contend that RJR executives "knew or should have known" that the money RJR was receiving through the bank was the fruit of illicit enterprises and was being illegally laundered.

"In spite of this fact," RJR continued for years to sell cigarettes to these customers and received criminal proceeds in New York, the suit alleges.

The suit contends that RJR executives at all times "were well aware that they were laundering the proceeds of criminal activities" and that they went to great lengths to conduct these activities in a surreptitious manner.

The suit paints a world in which contraband cigarettes have become the currency of choice in Europe for money laundering.

Too many docs/counsellors/carers generally think it's their fault when, as Preston has just said, getting unsprung can take some time, and often several attempts.

Moreover, speaking for myself, the issue was not just about drugs/OR NOT, BUT also about an alternative life-style.

As it happens, I've chosen studying and drug policy reform activism.

What is your son into other than addictive drugs: get him talking about that big-time; it's such a joy to watch folks start to get enthused about things which are good for them (& even perhaps others) no?

Status:  

On Saturday November 2 I held a seminar that attracted 20 - 25 health care
professionally, addicts representatives, other interested parties,
feauturing acupuncturist Nelson Corinchi from San Francisco. The CBC radio
News and CKNW radio covered the event with interviews. The seminar will be
shown in segments on POT-TV, as well as an hour long interview with the
first person I sent to Amsterdam to get iboga therapy from Sara Glatt, is
currently on the site right now. (POT-TV.net) . The interview with Sascha is
excellent in that is showed me and the viewer how difficult a winding road
addiction & recovery is.

That having been said, we are taking on more patients, getting our permanent
facility ready, tens of thousands of dollars worth of ads have been bought
for the next two weeks that feature iboga therapy as "A revolutionary new
hope in addiction therapy."
in my campaign for Mayor of Vancouver.

And I am no longer depressed about relapsing, but determined to add of our
light to the sum of light, and hope some of it sticks!

Please subscribe to new MMM email list. Public archive still open.

The public MMM email list at Yahoo Groups now requires people to subscribe
in order to post messages to the list and the public archive. For a few
weeks I set it up so that non-members could also send in email messages to
the list. That was to help people send in MMM rally reports. It worked.
The archive also got some spam too. That was deleted. But people should
keep sending in MMM-related stuff. Just subscribe first.

The MMM message archive itself is still public and accessible to anybody:
