Warnings of 'super weed' just blowing smoke

By BRIAN BENNETT

As a member of the baby boomer generation, I, like many of my cohorts, experimented with

marijuana in my youth.

Many people, like me, even inhaled it and found it quite enjoyable. But these days we are warned

that marijuana is "more dangerous" than ever, and that our youth is in grave danger because today's

weed is up to 30 times more powerful than weed in the '60s and '70s.

We're being told that we must protect the children and that we should join the chorus of voices

pounding it into our children's heads that drugs are bad.

First, I reviewed some of the available literature about marijuana. I found that marijuana contains

more than 400 chemicals.

That was interesting, but not really useful, as I also have discovered that a single coffee bean

contains some 1,200 chemicals, while common tea contains a whopping 4,000. Clearly, this was not

the real issue.

I learned, and of course remembered, that smoking marijuana made your eyes bloodshot, your mouth

dry and your appetite insatiable. Could the modern super weed make your eyes even redder, or your

cottonmouth 30 times as dry?

Being curious by nature, I knew there was only one way to get to the bottom of the issue: find out

for myself. There was only one logical thing to do: go to the marijuana mecca -- Amsterdam.

I knew that in Amsterdam people could walk into a "coffee shop" and buy marijuana just like any

other commodity, and that's exactly what I found.

Upon arriving and checking into my hotel, I walked a few blocks and went into one of the shops. I

told the counter person that I was interested in trying something really strong, and he recommended I

try the "White Widow." I bought some and sat at a nearby table to smoke it.

I took two or three hits then waited to see what happened. Holy smokes, this was indeed some very

powerful weed. I sat in the coffee shop for a good hour in a state that can only be described as

"totally baked."

After a short while, I left to walk about in the city and stopped in several other shops, sampling the

wares along the way. I spent three days in the pot capital of the world and tried many varieties of

weed and hashish.

The conclusion I draw from the experience was much the same as the one I drew from my first

experience with smoking marijuana: no way should this be illegal.

Today's marijuana is more powerful, but no matter how hard I tried, I could not smoke myself

unconscious.

Yes, I was very, very stoned, but the most pronounced effect of that was laughing hysterically, and

yes indeed, I had a huge case of the "munchies."

I suffered none of the effects I have experienced with drinking too much: no staggering, no bumping

into anyone, and best of all, no throwing up or waking up wondering how I'd gotten home.

Don't lie to your kids and don't swallow the propaganda. The most dangerous thing about today's

super weed is the same one that we faced in our youth: getting caught.

NEW DRUGS MIMIC MARIJUANA

Compounds Reduce Anxiety Levels In Lab Rats

Pharmacologists have synthesized new drugs designed to take advantage of
the potentially beneficial effects of the active substance in marijuana.

Smoking marijuana is known to alleviate anxiety through the action of
tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, which is a so-called cannabinoid.

Danielle Piomelli of the University of California at Irvine and colleagues
from Italy designed and tested a number of chemicals that affect the same
system as THC, known as the anandamide system.

The compounds block the action of an enzyme that destroys a naturally
occurring cannabinoid known as anandamine, prolonging its activity. In
tests on laboratory rats, two of the compounds boosted anandamine levels

and seemed to reduce anxiety levels in the animals.

"The behavioral profile of these agents ... reveals a role for anandamide
in the regulation of emotional states and indicates a new mechanistic
approach to anti-anxiety therapy," the researchers wrote in an article
being published in the January issue of the journal Nature Medicine.

Ed Forchion filed this legal paper several months ago, which requires the

State of NJ to show cause as to why he has been re-incarcerated.

We believe that the real reason he has been put back in prison is because

he continued to exercise his 1st Amendment Right of Free Speech.  He made 3

NEW JERSEY JUDGE RULES FORFEITURE LAW UNCONSTITUTIONAL

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) -- A judge has ruled that New Jersey's practice of
letting police and prosecutors keep the money and assets they seize is
unconstitutional, putting a halt -- for now -- to a system criticized as
bounty hunting.

The practice gives law enforcement a stake in the cash, cars, computers and
other property seized from criminals and suspects.

"The decision will ensure that police and prosecutors make decisions on the
basis of justice, not on the potential for profit," said lawyer Scott
Bullock, who represented a former sheriff's deputy whose son was caught
selling marijuana out of her car.

The state plans to appeal Wednesday's ruling and ask the judge to allow the

continued distribution of seized assets, which amounted to nearly $32
million in a two-year period ending in 2000.

GRASS CLIPPINGS:

Marijuana Party Head Fears A Federal Ripoff

OTTAWA -- Police and the government will milk the proposed
decriminalization of pot like a cash cow, warns the leader of the Marijuana
party.

"The day that the government realizes there's money to be made by fining
marijuana users, I guarantee there's going to be an increase in
repression," said Marc-Boris St-Maurice.

Agreeing it's a step toward legalization, St-Maurice is fuming about a
Commons committee recommendation that would see those caught possessing at
least 30 grams get off with a ticket and no criminal record.

Justice Minister Martin Cauchon has said he's ready to roll on the
decriminalization of marijuana for personal use by early next year.

op court stalls pot challenge
                         ¬Ý

Saturday, December 14, 2002

OTTAWA -- The Supreme Court of Canada suddenly called off a challenge to federal marijuana

laws Friday, saying Justice Minister Martin Cauchon is sending conflicting messages by

stating he will decriminalize pot while his staff lawyers are trying to convince the court that toking

up is dangerous.

The court postponed until at least the spring a landmark appeal from three pot activists

who are seeking the constitutional right to smoke marijuana.

Justice Louis LeBel summed up the judges' sentiment when he said they cannot

"close their eyes" to Cauchon's statements earlier this week that he plans to move

ahead with legislation within the first four months of next year.

"The question here is the apparent contradiction between the position taken outside

the court and the position taken inside the court," added Justice Ian Binnie.

The government has filed a report with the court that connects marijuana use to

driving accidents, upper-airway cancer, psychiatric problems and drug addiction,

among other things.

"Marijuana is not a benign substance and potentially is more harmful than presently

known," the Justice Department argues in a written submission.

The courtroom was packed with marijuana enthusiasts when the judges adjourned for

10 minutes and returned to say they don't want to hear the case until Cauchon

decides whether to follow through on decriminalization.

Three pot smokers, two from British Columbia and one from Ontario, who have

waited years for their day in the Supreme Court, accused Cauchon of interfering with

the justice process by stating his intentions just as the court was to decide once and

for all whether marijuana smoking should be against the law.

David Malmo-Levine, who formed the Vancouver-based "Harm Reduction Club" for

marijuana smokers, said that he wants the court to make a ruling on marijuana legality

because he has little faith that Parliament will ever act.

"Powerful people have a habit of promising to do something about these insane laws

and nothing ever gets done," Malmo-Levine said.

As the 31-year-old activist spoke to reporters, several of his supporters, frustrated that

the case was halted, headed outside the building to smoke joints.

Malmo-Levine, Victor Caine and Christopher Clay are challenging the federal

government on constitutional grounds.

Caine was convicted of possession for sharing a joint with a friend in his car while

parked at a beach near Vancouver and Clay owned a store in London, Ont. which

sold marijuana paraphernalia and plant seeds

TOKER DEFENDS DRIVING

Says 'Very Rarely ... Stoned' Due To Regular Use

A possible precedent-setting trial of a man charged with driving impaired
on marijuana is about halfway done following a day of hearings yesterday.

Rick Reimer, a retired lawyer living in Wilno, Ont., southwest of Pembroke,
is charged even though he is legally permitted to smoke pot because of his
multiple sclerosis.

He was pulled over by the OPP last February. Police say his car crossed the
centre median and he was subsequently charged with impaired driving.

The Killaloe court heard testimony yesterday from the officer who stopped
Reimer and a toxicology expert.

What makes this case a difficult one is there is no established way for law
enforcement officials to determine if someone is impaired by marijuana, as

a breathalyzer does with alcohol intoxication.

Reimer smokes marijuana all day, every day. He said he smokes so much, he
is almost never impaired by it.

"Because I smoke regularly from morning until night every day, very, very
rarely (am I impaired)," he said. "And when I say rarely, I can think of
one time in the last decade when I had some marijuana that really got me,
quote, stoned, unquote -- where I felt really high." Reimer, who is
representing himself, said he can't say the general population should be
permitted to drive after smoking marijuana but does say pot's effect on

driving is less severe than alcohol's.

The next date in Reimer's trial is likely to be in February or March. He is

planning to testify.

TO PROTECT AND VIOLATE?

Records show rising cop complaints in Racine

As hundreds pack Racine Municipal Court to fight $968 citations from a
Halloween fund-raiser "rave" bust, records show that the city's police
department is no stranger to formal citizen complaints.

A Shepherd Express open-records request, in fact, showed a spike in
complaints against Racine police officers in 2001, the most recent year for
which totals were immediately available.

Last year, Racine citizens filed 91 complaints against local police-39
alleging officer incivility and 10 charging excessive force-according to a
summary released in response to the newspaper's request.

The department received a total of only 56 complaints in 2000, following 53
in 1999, 86 in 1998, 79 in 1997 and 62 in 1996.

Subject: 011 CA: Todd McCormick Loses 9th Circuit Appeal

via Dale Gieringer

Todd McCormick's attorney David Michael reports:
To all:

The 9th Circuit has denied Todd's appeal, ruling that the trial court was
correct in holding that he could not raise a "medical necessity"defense at
trial The Court refused to consider any of the other constitutional issues.
In order to fully understand the ruling of the Court, some background might
be helpful.

During the prosecution of Todd in District Court in Los Angeles, Todd was
charged with offenses that, if he was convicted of, would have required the
trial court to sentence Todd to a minimum sentence of 10 years of
imprisonment, just as another court did recently in the Brian Epis case in

Sacramento, CA.   In our plea negotiations with the Court and the government,
Todd agreed to plea to an offense that only required a sentence of 5 years
and the Court and the government agreed that Todd would preserve his appeal
rights on the medical necessity issue and that Todd could remain free on bail
during the appeal process..

At the time of this plea agreement, the 9th Circuit had just issued its
Oakland Cannabis Buyers Cooperative (OCBC) ruling and had not yet been
reversed by the Supreme Court in that matter.  If you all remember, in OCBC,

the 9th Circuit had said that a defendant has a right to raise a medical
necessity defense in a federal medical marijuana prosecution provided he met
the requirements necessary to raise the issue.  Therefore, at the time of the
plea agreement we were somewhat confident that we would win the appeal and
Todd then entered into the plea agreement.

Two events then happened that changed the landscape in Todd's case.  First,
the District Court, shortly after Todd's plea, ended up revoking Todd's bail
release for reasons we need not go into here.  Consequently, Todd was
remanded into custody and has been there ever since.  Second, the US Supreme
Court then reversed the 9th Circuit in OCBC and ruled that there was no
"medical necessity" defense available for distributors of medical marijuana
and probably not for those who possess it for personal use either.

We then entered into a great debate in the 9th Circuit in Todd's case with

the government claiming that the Supreme Court had effectively denied Todd
his "medical necessity" defense and that he could not raise the other
constitutional issues, such as the Commerce Clause, the 9th Amendment and the
10th Amendment arguments (which any of you can access in our brief bank).
The 9th Circuit said that we could present written briefs to the court on all
of the constitutional issues and could continue to brief the :medical

necessity" issue, all of which we did.  We were also allowed to address all
the same issues at oral argument some 9 months ago.

With all that history, the 9th Circuit this week ruled that (1) Todd could
not raise a medical necessity defense because 4116 plants were far too much
for personal use and because the evidence and the plea in the case, showed
that Todd possessed his medical marijuana for distribution, not solely for
personal use.  The Court also refused to consider Todd's constitution
arguments on the grounds that he only had a right to appeal the "medical
necessity" issue and not the constitutional issues.

If anyone wants to discuss this matter further with me, please feel free to

call.  A copy of the 9th Circuit Memorandum opinion will be posted soon.

NO DRUGS FOUND IN HOME OF MAN KILLED IN CUFFS

LOUISVILLE - No illegal drugs were found in a search of the apartment
of a man who was handcuffed and shot to death by a police detective
last week, according to court records.

Crack pipes were found at the apartment of James Edward Taylor, 50,

according to the documents. Police spokeswoman Helene Kramer said the

paraphernalia was being tested for residue and that the results of a

drug screen conducted as part of Mr. Taylor's autopsy may not be
available for several weeks.

Louisville Police Chief Greg Smith has said that witnesses who were in

Mr. Taylor's apartment when he was shot Dec. 5 told investigators that
they and Mr. Taylor had been smoking crack cocaine and drinking vodka.

Status:  

USA intelligence agencies revealed
in plot to oust Venezuela's President
report © by VHeadline.com Reporters
VHeadline.com : Thursday, December 12, 2002 -- Uruguayan EP-FA congressman Jose Bayardi says he has information that far-reaching plans have been put into operation by the CIA and other North American intelligence agencies to overthrow Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez Frias within the next 72 hours.
Bayardi says he has received copies of top-secret communications between the Bush administration in Washington and the government of Uruguay requesting the latter's cooperation to support white collar executives and trade union activists "to break down levels of intransigence within the Chavez Frias administration."

In an interview with reporters from the Uruguyan newspaper La Juventud, Bayardi says he observes a domestic-political situation in Venezuela which could easily erupt into a civil war and bloodbath ... "the whole process is a shocking reminder of what happened in Chile in 1973 ... I sincerely hope it does not come to that!"
Bayardi says he does not foresee any immediate foreign military intervention in the Venezuelan situation but warns of a possible escalation if the opposition gets the upper hand over constitutional law and order.

"The problem is that Venezuelan television and major newspapers have been hiding the true fact that there are huge popular uprisings in support of the Chavez Frias government ... now that Venezuelans are beginning to understand that they have been duped by the anti-government media, they are demanding that these information channels should begin to tell the truth!"

Subject: [ibogaine] The "New" Colombian Heroin Trade- Here we go again
Status:  

Hi all,
    I noticed while researching the (one heck of a lot of) links for this
article that what I noticed happening was not what other reporters noticed-
I noted the mycoherbicide proposal and the questions related to
legalization, while other reporters noted that the committee was not happy
with the figures stated by witnesses in relation to how much destruction has
been carried out on Colombia and it's people...I mean, bad drug crops,
saying they didn't add up.
    But gee, this is such an old story. I found articles noting that way
back in the early 90s Congress, and others, were bemoaning the fact that
since the late 80s coca production had "tripled" in Colombia since the US
got involved there, and yet during yesterday's testimony we heard yet again
that since '96, Colombian coca production has again tripled. (gosh, like in
Afghanistan? What a surprise.)
    There was testimony that I do not mention in this article that the US
called off its spray planes from spraying the much more addictive poppy
crops as they were so interested in "destroying" coca crops, (the ones that

have tripled in production since the US got involved, more than once). But
the whole "we're facing a new threat of super-duper Colombian heroin
flooding out streets, (yeah, there's been a whole 12 overdose deaths this
year in Westmoreland, Penn., noted by a Det. Tony Marcocci- we're spending
how many millions upon millions to save 12 people here, 12 people there? How
many people die in car accident every freakin day here?) is rehashed
bologna. Yeah, they MIGHT be growing more poppies, but certain members have
been crying about a "new" Colombian heroin threat since '95, according to

older Congressional testimony, linked within the following article. These
people are horrid.
    Rabid prohibitionist meanie Rep. Mica totally blasted the idea that we
need more treatment in this country, and 3 or the 4 cops who testified on
the first panel said they knew of NO successful cases of treatment for
heroin in the US, contrary to what the 4th said, (Tom Carr, Director HIAT
for Baltimore/Washington DC) who noted Drug Substitution as being just one
positive treatment modality.
    Another, Det. Sergeant Scott Pelletier of the Portland Police, told
Congress that the new Colombian dope is so pure people are buying and
getting high from 1-100th of a gram of this new super-dope, and that young
people can get addicted from using just one time. While I'm not one hundred
percent sure about that 1 100th of a gram stuff, both comments sound like
completely typical prohibitionist bullshit. Det. Tony Carcocci did note that
most heroin addicts tell him they started with prescription drugs, NOT
marijuana amazingly enough.

    Felix Jiminez, DEA NY, told the Committee that he thought mandatory

minimum policies need looking at, particularly for herion- he wants to
INCREASE and IMPLEMENT them to handle those dastardly dope heads, as too
many are getting out of prison after say a mere 3 years. One of the
witnesses said that locking people up was the best treatment method, but I
can't find it in my notes now, so can't point my finger at them and say,
"MEANIE!"
    Anyway, please forward this to anyone and everyone you think might get
something out of this article.
    Burton really blew my mind when he brought up the possibility of
removing the money making potential from the drug trade. Never thought I'd
see the day, and of course it came during his last appearance as chair of
the Government Reform Committee. And Barry Crane acting Dep. Director of of

the ONDCP also said some interesting things, like "we need to treat drugs as
commodities and take a look at what hasn't worked in the past. I've been
told there are some other interesting addmission in his submitted written

testimony, but haven't found it online yet.
    Enjoy, and vote.

The "New" Colombian Heroin Trade-
Here We Go Again
by Preston Peet- for DrugWar.com
posted Dec. 13, 2002

At the hearing "America's Heroin Crisis, Colombian Heroin, and How We Can

Improve Plan Colombia," held by the Committee on Government Reform, (Dec.
12, 2002) one long-time prohibitionist publicly pondered what might happen
if profit motives were removed from the drug trade, and another voiced his
support for shooting down unarmed civilian aircraft and dumping mass amounts
of deadly mycoherbicides on the country of Colombia and everything that
lives there.

Rep. Dan Burton (R- IN)

Having taken part in over 100 Congressional hearings about illegal drugs and
drug policies, Representative Dan Burton (R- IN) has always heard the same
stories as he watched the drug "crises" continue to grow unabated. Burton
blathered on using old Drug War rhetoric about the "new" threat of Colombian
heroin, which he insisted is "the most deadly and addictive" heroin, and
that "under the Clinton Administration we spent too much time on treatment
and not enough on eradication."

Then, after carefully noting that he "hates drugs and people who succumb to
drug use," he asked the first panel of the day, a table full of
prohibitionist police and federal representatives who depend upon the War on

Some Drugs and Users for their livelihood, "what would happen if there was
no profit in drugs?" It is a question that should be asked, Burton said, but
as he himself bluntly stated, US politicians have been too scared to ask it.
Burton asked this after mentioning the assassination of Colombian drug lord
Pablo Escabor, bemoaning the fact that everytime "we" kill one drug dealer,
ten more step up to take their place because there's so much money to be
made.

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:
