Health Board Opposes Question

To the cheers of drug opponents, the state Board of Health voted unanimously Friday to oppose the ballot question to legalize marijuana for Nevada adults. Board members said a "clear and present danger" to the health and safety of Nevadans would exist if voters approved Question 9. The ballot question, if approved Nov. 5 and again in the 2004 election, would allow adult Nevadans to possess as much as 3 ounces of marijuana.
Dr. Joey Villaflor, chairman of the board, urged Nevadans to rally their friends and neighbors to show up at the polls and defeat the ballot question. Marijuana would remain illegal to minors even if Question 9 passed, but Villaflor said the drug would become more available to children, particularly children of marijuana users. "It will be seen as an OK thing to do" by children, he said. Driving under the influence of marijuana would remain illegal, but Villaflor said marijuana-related highway fatalities still would increase. "It is already difficult to drive" because of alcohol abusers, he said. "It will become more difficult when more drivers will be impaired because of marijuana." About 50 people attended the meeting, none of whom expressed support for the measure. Nevadans for Responsible Law Enforcement, the group pushing for approval of Question 9, did not send a representative to the Board of Health meeting, a video conference between Las Vegas and Carson City. But Billy Rogers, the group's leader, said in a telephone interview he was shocked by the "outrageous, slanderous claim" made by Clark County Deputy District Attorney Gary Booker. Booker told the Board of Health that the "cartel" is financing the campaign of Nevadans for Responsible Law Enforcement and its parent organization, the Marijuana Policy Project of Washington, D.C. He said he based that conclusion on work done by Sen. Joe Neal, the Democratic candidate for governor. Neal earlier said Hungarian-born billionaire investor George Soros backed South American drug cartels and the campaign to legalize marijuana in Nevada. In a phone interview, Neal said his information came from the Lyndon LaRouche publication Executive Intelligence Review. A LaRouche release in September said a Soro-backed group, the Drug Policy Foundation, has given money to the Marijuana Policy Project. LaRouche, who spent five years in prison for fund-raising irregularities, is a perennial presidential candidate who has announced his 2004 candidacy. His opinions are described as extreme, such as suggesting that the British monarchy was responsible for the Oklahoma City bombing. Neal said he believes LaRouche because his publications have not been sued by Soros over their allegations. Soros donated money two years ago to campaigns to legalize medical marijuana in Nevada and other states, but Rogers said Soros has given nothing to his organization. Soros has said he has given $15 million to pro-marijuana efforts over the years. He has never been charged with any crimes and often is quoted in national publications as an economics expert. Rogers said more than 10,000 people have contributed to the Medical Marijuana Project, including 350 Nevadans. He said the biggest contributor is Peter Lewis, the 68-year-old chief executive officer of Progressive Insurance, the fourth-largest auto insurer in the United States. Lewis was arrested in New Zealand in 2000 for possession of 3.5 ounces of marijuana, but the charges were dismissed when he made a donation to an Auckland anti-drug center. "Gary Booker's words speak for themselves," Rogers said. "He couldn't find the truth with a magnifying glass." During the hearing, Booker said he has heard he will be sued by Rogers' organization. But Rogers said he has no intention of suing Booker, even after the cartel comment. "He ought to wash his mouth out with soap," Rogers said. "It is an insult to the people of Nevada and the people who publicly support Question 9 to make an outrageous, slanderous claim about our campaign." Among the speakers who urged the Board of Health to oppose the marijuana question was Roxane Clark Murphy, a municipal court administrator who assigns drug offenders to court programs in Clark County. She said her son was a marijuana and cocaine user and is now in prison. "He killed someone," she said. "The view that people who use marijuana do not get violent is wrong. The view they sit in the corner and just munch brownies is wrong." Murphy said the out-of-state residents who think they can persuade Nevadans to back legal marijuana because of the state's reputation as free-wheeling, wide-open place are mistaken. "We do have a gaming industry," she said. "That does not make us a Sin City or a Sin State." Cindy Ogden, another witness, said that the father of her infant son blew marijuana into the face of their baby. The child ended up in the emergency room after he slept more than half a day before he was revived, Ogden said. "I got involved with a man from a cult who believed marijuana is here from God," Ogden said. "So is poison ivy." Ogden predicted if Nevadans back Question 9, then irresponsible parents will use the drug in front of their children. "'If we want to put the kid to sleep, let's blow a little marijuana in his face," she said. "I am totally blown away by Question 9. Are we not thinking of kids in their homes?" Theresa Lemus, executive director of the North Star substance abuse treatment center in Reno, testified that half of the juveniles entering rehabilitation programs in Nevada suffer from marijuana addiction problems. Lemus said Nevada does not have enough treatment facilities to handle more than half of the current drug abusers. She predicted passage of Question 9 would lead to worse problems. Because his organization was not invited by the Board of Health to attend the hearing, Rogers said he decided against attending. In a phone interview, he repeated his opposition to marijuana use by minors. "We are about kids, too," he said. "Our initiative does not allow criminals like that person who blew pot smoke in a baby's face. It is outrageous to suggest Question 9 would allow it. That person would go to jail for a long time." He said 80 million Americans have tried pot, and 11 million are regular users. "To suggest that marijuana is the reason people become addicted and do bad things ignores the struggles of thousands of people in Nevada who are fighting their addiction and are in the recovery process," Rogers said. Note: Safety at risk if ballot measure on pot wins, panel members say.

Clear and Present Danger?
Clear and Present Danger is a movie about the illegal cocaine trade; it has nothing to do with marijuana. This is guilt by innuendo, by false association. We are not Pavlov's dogs: we will not drool on command.

More morons....
Today I had to take the CBEST and had an essay question regarding Ghandi's philosophy.Can't we jusat treat the antis like they treat us? Can't we all just get rid of them? I am becoming Extremist, I think. Send the morons to their death... let's clean out the gene pool. OK...just had to vent there....lol....EVERY SINGLE THING THAT COMES OUT OF THEIR MOUTHS IS BULLSH*T...and nothing the "Board of Health" decided on was facts, just hearsay... and now their word is taken as "official". Official BS.'"I got involved with a man from a cult who believed marijuana is here from God," Ogden said. "So is poison ivy."'Hey MORON.... if you DO believe in God, then YES!!!!!!!!!! MJ IS HERE FROM GOD!!!!!!!!Second, you don't go to jail, lose your house, family and job if you have Poison Ivy, do you?I'm not saying blowing smoke in a baby's face is smart, but how the hell did this stupid moron get custody?How about this great logistician with, '"He killed someone," she said. "The view that people who use marijuana do not get violent is wrong. The view they sit in the corner and just munch brownies is wrong." 'Moron... your son killed someone....not the POT. And ask HIM why he killed that person? How many convicts have used the argument, "It was the POT, man?" Not many.In EVERY single example they come up with that says to them that pot is bad, they should replace it with stupidity. Stupidity causes more accidents, deaths, and emergency room visits. Because last I checked, the US has more MORONS than pot smokers.idbsne1

DEfender's lay seige
The DEfenders lay seige on the Dutch Experience now guarded by 5 coppers. Cannabinol started the thread- http://213.169.220.28/upload/showthread.php?s=&threadid=3934 - with this comment: Support Cannacamp, the DE-fenders need you !!I was asked to make a request here, on behalf of the people around the DE.
The place is closed, and was guarded overnight by the police, even now there are 5 coppers there, to keep the DE-fenders from re-opening it, as usual.
The DE-fenders, however, have set up a camp in the park outside the DE, with 4 tents, some food and drinks, and a shortage of blankets and sleeping bags. They would also appreciate more people to come out to camp, and keep the DE under siege. The DE-fenders were allowed to stay there, by the police,'if they would not harrass the coppers on duty'!!??If you have the time and the tent, join the siege, and come watch the coppers eat up the taxpayers money.
The whole thing, the 2 raids and the closure with security, is considered illegal by Colin's solicitor, more later.---------------------------------
Nol or cannabinol tells of the "snifferdog" the police have and says to smell like roses.Our friend x-ile that brought us coverage of the DEfender's trial says in on the third message with: "doggone"Went down with me fella this morning....the cop dog went berserk - I think he wanted to come and play with me & couldn't understand why I had me freedom and he was on a lead...in the wrong job mate.Anyway, he's gone now - I think his fellas got wound up by all the barkingwoof,woof

Should Davis call out National Guard to Defend MMJ
Original story: http://www.lp.org/press/archive.php?function=3Dview&record=3D608Should Gov. Davis call out National Guard to defend medical marijuana patients?September 23, 2002SACRAMENTO, CA -- Should California Governor Gray Davis call out the National Guard to defend medical marijuana patients from federal agents? That's the question Libertarians will be asking today as thousands of medical marijuana advocates descend on the state Capitol in Sacramento to send the federal government a message."The National Guard is charged with defending lives and property when disaster strikes and the federal raids on medical marijuana clinics have been a complete disaster," said Libertarian Party Political Director Ron Crickenberger, who is attending the rally."These DEA bullies with badges have ransacked clinics, brutalized helpless, dying people, and trampled state law. Now the only question is whether Davis will live up to his responsibilities as the state's chief law enforcement officer or continue to kowtow to the federal government."Agents from the federal Drug Enforcement Administration have raided dozens of marijuana clinics over the past few months, despite the fact that the possession, use, and cultivation of medical marijuana was legalized statewide with the passage of Proposition 215 in 1996. But now Californians are fighting back. Santa Cruz and other localities are making "medipot" available during public rallies at City Hall as protesters chant, "DEA, go away!"Monday's Medical Cannabis Freedom Day rally, which kicks off at noon on the south steps of the Capitol, was created as a way for medical marijuana supporters statewide to demand an end to federal interference.But will calling out the National Guard be necessary? Libertarians hope not. "No such confrontation would be needed if Davis and Attorney General Bill Lockyer had the backbone to speak out more forcefully against this unwarranted federal intrusion," Crickenberger said. "Davis has asked the federal government to stop the raids. And last week, Lockyer sent a letter to U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft and DEA head Asa Hutchinson 'questioning the ethical basis' for the raids."But meekly asking the DEA to stop hasn't worked. Davis and Lockyer should publicly and unequivocally demand that the raids stop. They should remind Ashcroft and Hutchinson that their boss, President George Bush, pledged during the campaign to 'respect states' rights' on medical marijuana. And they should inform the federal government that any future harassment of medical marijuana patients will be treated as an assault under state law. "If Davis lacks the courage to stand up to the federal bully when lives are at stake, he should have the decency to resign."Other groups participating in the rally include the Marijuana Policy Project (MPP); the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML); Students for a Sensible Drug Policy; and the Drug Policy Alliance.Organizers are also demanding a federal pardon for Bryan Epis, a Libertarian Party member who faces 10 years in prison for cultivating medical marijuana.CRRH is working to regulate and tax the sale of cannabis to adults like alcohol, allow doctors to recommend cannabis through pharmacies and restore the unregulated production of industrial hemp.*Campaign for the Restoration and Regulation of Hemp*

Is this jumbo shrimp?
A "Board of Health" thinks that caging a human for using a plant is healthy? Isn't the health of people in cages dimished? So they support reducing someones health, to keep them from supposedly harming themselves?Sounds like ignoid urine suckers to Me. And I don't trust them, no matter what they say.

Not a big surprise 
Government is against it and the people for it.Such a board of health would be against alcohol too. Government is using all strings. The kind of strings that connect government agencies. The more fear they have about they're civil war ending the more they'll use cops, old farts, civic groups and government agencies.Lets hope question 9 passes. If question 9 passes don't expect the antis to go away quietly.

He won't show up and debate the experts because he knows his lies won't stand honest scrutiny. These guys relie on fear and stereotyping...like the guy blowing smoke in the babys face. Big bad Boogie man is gonna get YOU!! Watch out he's hiding in the shadows smoking that EVIL reefer. Unbelievable that this yellow journalistic propaganda is allowed to waste paper(trees) but then again this was in the The Reno Gazette-Journal. End the War on Americans! Give Peace A Chance!

53% favor Prop 203 in Arizona
I cannot recommend checking Buzzflash.com occasionally strongly enough. They have a link up to the Tuscon Citizen about a poll concerning Proposition 203: http://www.tucsoncitizen.com/breaking/10_1_02slug.htmlIt was printed October 1st with the title "Poll: Majority of voters say they favor medical marijuana proposition"Here are the first three paragraphs:-----------------------If the general election were held today a majority of voters would approve a medical marijuana proposal to reduce penalties for possession of small amounts of marijuana to civil fines.So says a statewide poll released yesterday by the Social Research Laboratory at Northern Arizona University.Fifty-three percent of likely voters polled said they will vote in favor of Proposition 203, while 33 percent said they would cast ballots against it. About 15 percent said they were undecided on the issue.-----------------------------DAD-D,1,2

Walters wasting time and money
Why is it that he only speaks to small groups of police and other people who already support the BS he spews? What good does that do for their side? Why won't he get on TV and debate experts, the people from the IOM or Canada's report or every other government sponsored research on Cannabis? It is such a waste of money for him to fly here to tell pat some idiot cops on the back for not thinking. I can't wait to see what he does when this passes by around 60%.

Sirs,  If the Nevada Board of Health opposes the legalization of marijuana for health concerns, then why do they not support the re-criminalization of alcohol for the same reason? Alcohol kills over 150,000 people every year, yet nobody thinks it would be a wise move to return to the era of Al Capone. Nobody has gone blind from drinking a bad bottle of gin in nearly seventy years. There have been no violent disputes over alcohol turf, nor gun battles between federal prohibition agents and gangsters. Yet we keep this same failed system in place for other cannabis, and we get the exact same results. Criminals profit, our streets are less safe, and our freedoms dwindle.  America was caught up in a war to end alcohol consumption for over a decade. Despite countless raids, the end to the speakeasy system came not with an arrest, but with a repeal. We can rid ourselves of our current "drug problem" the exact same way.
