Remembering Medical Marijuana User Marilyn Holsten

“It’s incredibly inhumane that anyone could treat someone like that in this country that we call civilized,” Marilyn’s sister Moira O’Neill told Cannabis Culture and other media attending the memorial protest. “I’m hurt over my sister’s treatment and incredibly anguished over how she had to spend the last few days.”

Smoke Medical Cannabis, Get Evicted
How would you like to be evicted for doing something completely legal, just because someone else thought it was unsavoury?



"In a republic like ours, people often think that the proper response to an unjust law is to try to use the political process to change the law, but to obey and respect the law until it is changed. But if the law is itself clearly unjust, and the lawmaking process is not designed to quickly obliterate such unjust laws, then the law deserves no respect — break the law."
- Henry David Thoreau

Easy to believe they would do the same to third world countries. Or places to pillage their resources bribing a few officials. Invading Iraq, giving Sadamn chemical weapons or doping the food supplies with adulterations and poisons. How do we know for sure, trust me?

The Sadomoralist leading the Illiterate

Many not even getting kickbacks, just teabagging out of gullibility and horshit, flung wrapped in pretty bows. Americans are being killed every day by those we pay to protect us. Thats called being a wingnut folk's. Enough of the predictions. Gossip kills as many as the bad laws perpetuated.

As an American I find this Ganjawar embarrassing and shameful and a totally Un-American activity. Sick people have to plead for something that helps them? Sick people ya fucking idiots!

Why does it come across that these mmj users are being treated more harshly than anyone else?

I have to believe they are being flagrant and trying to make themselves a case. Or their illness makes them believe they can turn their apartment room into a greenhouse smoke factory. You still have to be careful like "the rest of us". You know, the illegitimate users doing it for fun.

None of the scumlords business.
If smell is a problem, charge security deposits.
Appeasers like you are the real problem.
It should be the same for Re-Creational users, but it isn't legally.
No law for Re-Creational.
Its an American thing you probably won't understand,
sick people following the law get sympathy, go figer.

What you believe is totally irrelevant isn't it?
You may be illegitimate, Nixon lied making the law illegitimate.

uhh, remind me what happened with alcohol prohibition again.

look at all the 420 rallies that gather thousands and thousands of people and not one thing goes wrong.

if you have 10,000 drunk people together, it would NOT be the same.

The same dudes that make the drug laws are the same ones that bring in the drugs. 2 million in prison, more than China and Russia. Prisons are good business.

Asa Isa Assa
But some strange things happened in Hutchinson's district while he was federal prosecutor that he doesn't mention in his speeches. Specifically, a man identified by federal agents as "a documented, major narcotics trafficker" was using facilities at an airport in Hutchinson's district for "storage, maintenance, and modification" of his drug-running aircraft, throughout most of Hutchinson's tenure.


Asa Hutchinson

The man was Adler Berriman "Barry" Seal. For the last four years of his life and throughout Hutchinson's term as U.S. attorney his base of operations was Mena, Arkansas.

Those, like Webb, who challenged the official orthodoxy on the CIA's
innocence have paid dearly. Webb was pushed into resigning his job, a purge made official with an announcement by the Mercury News on Dec. 12. Reached at his home in California, Webb said he is working on a book about his experiences.

Kill the Messenger
Editor's note: It's not easy when a colleague, let alone a journalist you hold in the highest regard, commits suicide. When Gary Webb took his own life two years ago, he and I had both been working at the Sacramento News & Review. In the days that followed, I fielded numerous phone calls from well-meaning folks who were convinced that he had been shot by the agency he went after in his famed "Dark Alliance" series. My personal belief is that the CIA didn't need to kill Gary; they'd already set his demise in motion by employing "unnamed sources" to discredit him in the nation's major print media. To the very end, Gary complained that no one had ever disproved a single fact in his series. The fact that so many respected newspapers so eagerly took this bait, and that one of our nation's last true investigative reporters had been driven to such desperation, is something I could not reconcile then or now.

George Bush: Chapter -XV- CIA DIRECTOR
In late 1975, as a result in particular of his role in Watergate, Bush's
confirmation as CIA Director was not automatic. And though the debate at his confirmation was superificial, some senators, including in particular the late Frank Church of Idaho, made some observations about the dangers inherent in the Bush nomination that have turned out in retrospect to be useful.

Drug Kingpin George Bush Press Conference
Sept. 19 (EIRNS)--At the Embassy Row Hotel in Washington today, Executive Intelligence Review editors Jeffrey Steinberg, Edward Spannaus, and Asia desk EIR contributor Gail Billington released a 120-page special report, "Would a President Bob Dole Prosecute Drug Super-Kingpin George Bush?"

Asked why Senator Kerry would have suppressed the evidence of drug trafficking, Spannaus replied that Kerry had not used everything he had, but he had done more than anyone else in government to expose the relationship of the Contras to drug-running, with his hearings and his report.

Prohibition History I Never Knew

Henry Ford originally made his cars to run on ethanol, so farmers could create their own fuel. (He saw farmers really as his customers originally, since nearly all of us were farmers).

Along comes John D. Rockefeller, who wants people to use oil. He provides money to the anti-alcohol movement in order to make Prohibition a reality, and stop the ethanol fuel industry and promote the use of fossil fuels.
