SF DA INDICTS POLICE CHIEF IN WAR WITH NARKS

SAN FRANCISCO -- "I'm an activist. I have experienced the negative side of law enforcement. I don't automatically assume the police are always right," said Terence Hallinan, District Attorney for San Francisco, after obtaining a grand jury indictment against the S.F. Police Chief.

CONSERVATIVE POLITICIAN ATTACKS REFUGEE HEARINGS
Abbotsford MP Randy White vows he’ll stop a U.S. medical marijuana users from gaining refugee status here in Canada, a precedent he says could open the floodgates to thousands of drug users from south of the border.

UN ATTACKS BLUNKETT'S NEW CANNABIS LAW
"The intellectual poverty of the prohibitionists is so obvious that it no longer merits serious discussion. They are not interested in evidence from the real world; they are simply blinkered ideologues. Yet the INCB still tries to enforce the catastrophic US model across the globe."

Way to go, Steve and Michelle! It feels like the cultural revolution that began in the sixties and went to sleep in the eighties is finally back in full gear. Congratulations on your pivotal role! (BTW- link for the Hallinan story goes to the INCB)

    We really must focus on Randy White's most likely opponent and make sure that person unseats him. We can send a message that if we mess with us, you'll pay the price!

    There is a strategy for winning the war on drugs: Divide and Conquer. Divide the cannabis market from the illegal hard drug market and the illegal drug dealers will be forced out of business.To all police chiefs, we can be your best allies in your fight.

    Randy White was quoted saying that over time, only one American has been granted refuge and that was overturned. Do you know who that person was? What about all the Vietnam war resisters? Weren't they granted refuge? Or the "runaway" American slaves?

    Here in the midwest most people seem to honestly believe that mj is THE WORST of all drugs. MJ is the "evil hippy drug" while crystal meth cookers are romanticed as the new moonshiners. I really don't know how to argue against that sort of mindset ...

I just read on Kubby.com about Jeff Jones' sentence being reduced to probation, no jail. That is great news! I credit Mr. Jones and the good people of the Oaktown CBC with saving my life. God bless 'em. I hope you can interview Jeff sometime.
