Early in the morning of Sept. 5, Drug Enforcement Administration officials raided a small farm near Santa Cruz, Calif., that had provided marijuana for sick and dying patients under California's 1996 medical-marijuana law, Proposition 215. According to the DEA, the 100 to 200 plants seized at the farm confirmed that large-scale production, distribution and sale of marijuana was taking place, a charge that owners Valerie and Michael Corral deny.
The Corrals -- who lead the Wo/men's Association for Medical Marijuana (WAMM) and helped craft a 1992 local ordinance in Santa Cruz that foreshadowed Proposition 215 -- were arrested following the raid and later released without being charged. The incident has set off a bitter feud between law-enforcement officials in California and the Department of Justice in Washington. Moreover, it's placed some California liberals in the unusual position of defending states' rights against federal authority. Indeed, the most recent California episode is more than a rehashing of the age-old confrontation that pits Reefer Madness conservatives against pot-loving hippies. At its core is a debate about the federal government's right to veto the judgment of local law enforcement and override a state law approved by 56 percent of voters. Though the U.S. Supreme Court ruled on the issue of medical marijuana as recently as May 2001 -- finding 8-to-0 in United States v. Oakland Cannabis Buyers Club that medical use is an unacceptable defense in federal trials for distribution -- the courts have yet to contend with the more controversial issue of states' rights and federal jurisdiction raised by the California law (and similar legislation in seven other states). Following the September raid, California Attorney General Bill Lockyer lashed out at the DEA, calling the seizures "punitive expeditions." U.S. Rep. Sam Farr (D-Calif.) denounced the raid as "outrageous." And Santa Cruz Mayor Christopher Krohn made national headlines, prime-time news and the op-ed page of The New York Times after he led the Santa Cruz City Council in presiding over a symbolic handout of marijuana to patients who would otherwise have received their drugs from the WAMM collective. All the while, the DEA has maintained the official line that "marijuana is a dangerous drug" with "no accepted medical use." Richard Meyer, spokesman for the DEA's San Francisco office, insists that the agency was simply doing its job and enforcing the federal law that prohibits consumption and distribution of drugs classified as Schedule 1 narcotics -- a grouping that places marijuana alongside such substances as heroin and cocaine. "We don't intend to negate their sovereignty," Meyer says of California voters. "We're here to protect the community against dangerous drugs." But by his own admission the Bay Area is plagued by numerous other drugs such as ecstasy, LSD, heroin and a wave of meta-amphetamines. As a result, Santa Cruz's Krohn is at a loss when it comes to the DEA's motives. "We need the DEA to help us where they have in the past," he says, citing the recent arrival of meta-amphetamine dealing in the Santa Cruz area. "The resources are misplaced. I'm sure the DEA has priorities but I'm not sure why this is a priority. It doesn't make sense to be going after sick folks when there is so much drug abuse plaguing communities across the country." Carr was similarly peeved noting that WAMM has long been an innocuous presence in the area. "It's known for helping sick people to ease their pain. It does not sell marijuana to the public. It only grows marijuana for members, and they must have a doctor's prescription," he said the day after the raid. "It is truly disturbing that the administration would waste precious resources punishing those who pose no threat at all to our society." But the harshest words come from the state's top cop: Lockyer is adamant that Washington respect the will of California voters when it comes to medical marijuana. "The attorney general's concern is that the federal government is wasting precious resources that should be directed toward fighting criminal enterprises," Lockyer spokeswoman Hallie Jordan says. Like Krohn, the attorney general believes that going after Mexican narcotics rings, domestic meta-amphetamine producers and large-scale marijuana growers is far more important than targeting groups such as WAMM. Indeed, Lockyer sees the Corrals' farm as a "successful program" where local law-enforcement officers and medical professionals worked with the group. "We'd rather defer to law-enforcement officers who have responsibility in that jurisdiction," Jordan says. Yet in the case of the Sept. 5 raid, the DEA did not even notify the local police department. Lockyer issued a critical statement questioning whether the raid served any law-enforcement purpose given that no charges were pressed. He also requested a meeting with U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft. Lockyer received a reply in early October from drug czar Asa Hutchinson granting the request but reaffirming the DEA's intention to enforce federal law. Given the Supreme Court's unanimous decision on medical marijuana last year, it may seem that the courts are not the best place for Californians to seek salvation. Dale Gieringer of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML) sees hope, however. Gieringer acknowledges that some of the so-called marijuana clubs that have appeared since the 1996 law passed are "sketchy." But in the case of WAMM, says Gieringer, "Everyone was a terminally ill patient. It was a model collective. A lot of us thought that would be the last place they'd raid." As a result, he contends, "In going after the Corrals, the federal government may in fact open the case for a federal law regarding medical marijuana." But a quick look at the House and Senate reveals few strong proponents of such a measure apart from U.S. Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.), some California Democrats and a handful of libertarian-leaning Republicans. Still, NORML insists, "The federal government has stepped way over the line of what the Constitution allows it. This is not interstate commerce." Santa Clara University law professor Gerald Uelmen agrees. Uelmen, who represented the Oakland Cannabis Buyers Club before the U.S. Supreme Court, notes that the 2001 decision "was not a constitutional ruling." When Congress passed the Federal Controlled Substances Act in 1970, says Uelmen, its only authority was the interstate-commerce clause. But according to Uelmen, interstate commerce was not an issue in any of the California cases because they were small-scale local operations permitted by state law. "In Santa Cruz, that argument is particularly strong since they're not even selling the drug," he says. And a slew of pending lawsuits is keeping medical-marijuana issues on the federal docket. Uelmen has filed for return of property in the Santa Cruz case and is awaiting a ruling from the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Conant v. McCaffrey, a case in which he is defending the right of California doctors to prescribe marijuana. The question of whether the federal government has the power to seize or prohibit medicine that is legal under state law has yet to be addressed. It may be several years before Californians feel free to grow marijuana for medicinal purposes without fear of DEA raids. But if any cases raising constitutional questions work their way to the Supreme Court, advocates for medical marijuana believe that they will at least have states' rights arguments on their side. "The Supreme Court has been quite serious in looking at the limits of Congress' commerce power and has been more sympathetic to arguments of states' rights and federalism," Uelmen says. "I'm frankly not optimistic that we're going to see any change from Congress. Certainly, the avenue with the greatest prospect of success is the courts." Note: Following a raid in Santa Cruz, medical marijuana supporters trot out an unlikely argument: states' rights.Source: American Prospect, The (US)Author: Sasha Polakow-SuranskyPublished: October 23, 2002Copyright: 2002 The American Prospect, Inc.Contact: letters prospect.orgWebsite: http://www.americanprospect.org/Related Articles & Web Sites:WAMMhttp://www.wamm.org/California NORMLhttp://www.canorml.org/News Articles - WAMM Raidhttp://freedomtoexhale.com/valc.htmOCBC vs US Government Newshttp://freedomtoexhale.com/mj.htmThe Right To Feel Better http://cannabisnews.com/news/thread14484.shtmlPot or Politics? - Good Timeshttp://cannabisnews.com/news/thread14420.shtmlWhy I'm Fighting Drug Laws From City Hallhttp://cannabisnews.com/news/thread14195.shtml

...eating...
...I have enjoyed Marijuana for over thirty years...I rarely ate it though...back in the 70's I had brownies,and ate hash several times,(whoa!),,but I hadnt eaten it for years ,,until I got sick,and I couldnt smoke.....I took raw,primo Humboldt buds,and packed about a joints worth into three large gelatin capsules....I gobbled them down,,and I kindof forgot that I had taken them....a couple of hours later,,,I was pleasantly reminded ..In fact,,it was delightfully stunning!..I was 'proper stoned',with a unique intensity that I had not experienced from smoking for years!...No doubt,my tobacco sludged clogged lungs were a factor in the diminished effect of smoking it...Now that I quit smoking tobacco,there is a big difference. ......nope,,you dont need to cook it.......and..speaking of mice,, while I was in the hospital,the mice feasted on my collection of exotic prime seeds that I had saved over the years...They actually knawed through the plastic lid of a coffee can to get to them!.It's the seeds they like,,,mouse candy,,My parakeets love 'em too!

SEND MONEY AND EMAIL TO FRIENDS
If you were thinking about donating to the Marijuana Policy Project's
ballot initiative campaign in Nevada, would you please visit
http://www.NRLE.org right away? There are only 12 days left until
November 5. And you're not going to believe how close the vote is
so far ...The latest statewide poll of 600 Nevada voters -- completed on Tuesday
night -- shows that our ballot initiative is still trailing by a mere
44% to 46%, with 10% undecided. We have been 2% down since the polls
opened statewide on Saturday.Since Saturday, approximately 7,000 voters in the Las Vegas area have
been voting daily. (The county government issues daily reports on how
many people are voting, but not how they are voting.)With every day that passes, about 3,430 votes are falling into the
"yes" column in Las Vegas, and about 3,570 votes are falling into the
"no" column. The same trend is true on a smaller scale in Reno and the
rural counties.With every day that passes, we fall another 140 votes behind in Las
Vegas -- and a total of about 200 votes behind statewide. As of last
night, the cumulative voting from Saturday through Wednesday probably
puts us a total of 1,000 votes down statewide, out of about 50,000
votes cast.The good news is that we are still hanging on by our fingernails in
this bold campaign to end the arrest of all adult marijuana users in
Nevada. When we launched this campaign back in April, who would have
thought that we could defeat the federal government and the Nevada
police on this issue?But there is bad news, too. Our opponents are sitting on $100,000 of
the $200,000 they have raised for their TV ad campaign. They are going
to use their remaining $100,000 to blitz the Nevada electorate with
deceptive TV ads next week, and they need only maintain their 2%
margin over us during these last 12 days to defeat us.Our strategy, in the meantime, is to make up the 2% deficit and take
the lead by November 4, because literally half of the Nevada
electorate votes on November 5. Quite simply, we can do this if we
outspend our opponents two-to-one on TV next week. I reported to you
on Monday that our campaign needs to raise $100,000 from you and other
supporters this week. The $100,000 worth of TV ads we had already
reserved for next week, plus a new $100,000 from this e-mail list this
week, will mean that our TV ad blitz will double our opponents' blitz
next week, taking us to victory on November 5.Since Monday, our e-mail list and the Libertarian Party's e-mail list
have generated an astounding $24,500 for the Nevada campaign, leaving
us in need of only $75,500.Would you please visit http://www.NRLE.org to donate some of the
remaining $75,500 that is needed to finish off this campaign and
achieve victory on November 5?A donation of $10 will mean that 600 Nevada voters will see one of our
TV ads one time each; a donation of $50 means that 3,000 voters will
see our ad once. And a $250 donation -- which will pay for 15,000
voter impressions -- can be tax-deductible by visiting
http://www.NRLE.org/donate.html and checking the appropriate box.To give some perspective on how important the final $100,000 is to
this campaign, please consider this: The final $100,000 will ensure
that all 835,000 potential Nevada voters will see one of our TV ads
eight times each.This initiative to end the arrest of all marijuana users is by far the
best opportunity we have ever had to end marijuana prohibition
anywhere in the U.S. And this initiative has received generous support
from passionate MPP members and other allies in all 50 states ...Since we launched the Nevada campaign, 4,346 people in all 50 states
have donated financially to this effort. Unfortunately, 29,388 people
on this e-mail list have not donated anything.I want to thank you in advance if you decide you are able to make a
last-minute donation. Money equals TV airtime. Thank you!Sincerely,Rob Kampia
Executive Director
Marijuana Policy Project
Washington, D.C.P.S. By donating $250 or more now, you will receive a videotape of the
TV news coverage and all TV ads from the Nevada campaign. Better
yet, we are making a special offer whereby donations of $250 or
more can be tax-deductible.P.P.S. Our first-ever national conference will begin three days after
Election Day in Anaheim, California. To join us for what will
hopefully be a victory celebration, please register at
http://www.mpp.org/conference .P.P.P.S. To donate through the mail, please send your check to MPP's
Nevada Campaign, P.O. Box 77492, Capitol Hill, Washington, DC
20013.

AARP Prescription Drugs Ad
I don't know if any of you have seen the recent AARP (American Association of Retired persons) prescription drug reform ad that has been airing recently, but I am thoroughly impressed by how it begins. Basically, it says that we have spent $70 billion over the past five years (I assume they are only counting federal dollars) on the war on drugs, and people are using as much or more now than they were back then. The segue says, "Why don't we fight a drug battle we can win--support prescription drug reform," or something very close to that effect. It seems, folks, like the AARP is dipping its toe in the water to see if it's okay to be anti-prohibition (pro-drug-policy-reform). This kind of ad makes viewers think about the insanity of the war on drugs as much as or more than it makes them think about reforming prescription drug pricing. I have not yet found a link to the ad, and if anyone else knows where to find it on the Internet, I would be grateful for your assistance. We may yet get the largest senior citizens' group on our side, and if that happens--well, the drug war is as good as dead. Senior citizens are the country's largest group of voters. Let's find a way to encourage the AARP to step further out of the closet on this issue--without scaring them off.Dan B

Ddc.....Re:Eating Cannabis
As an eater of cannabis,you do not need to heat it,although by heating it you melt the thc glands into your preparation,causing it to become concentrated into whatever you prepare it in.Be careful when heating it,as thc vaporizes at approximately 320 degrees F.and it becomes vapor into the air.I just ate a fresh 1/2 gram bud the other day with some salad,and I had a perfect body high as well as a head high.You couldn't tell that there was any cannabis in the salad,as it was fresh-picked.Slept like a baby that night too!I have severe arthritis in my back and hip and feet,and have found it to be quite effective if you have the right strain.Sure wish I could get ahold of some good genetics as I can't afford the seed-banks prices.I just save the seeds from whatever I get and try them.Hope-and-poke?It sure would be great to have it legal,then I would become a breeder myself.What I have now has a lemon-taste,smoked or raw.Tasty!!!MMMMMMMM!!!!!!Gonna eat one now with some Italian dressing,and I'll let you know how the"phase-2-trials"go.LOL!!!Peace!SWAMPIE

Mice
Mice will eat anything edible if they are hungry, pot is edible, all of it. Mice also ingest wood, plastic, pressed foam, etc. Although this is not generally for nutritive value, its more for cutting down the permanantly growing teeth they have. You can always get effect from cannabis wet or dry, cooked or whole. heat destroyes THC remember that. Stomach acid disolves THC, also remeber that.

Mice and Cannabis
According to John McPartland in Hemp Diseases and Pests, mice will get into seized cannabis stores to eat the seeds. It says nothing about eating the leaf or buds. I suspect the Egyptian article is a gross exaggeration.Cannabis taken orally is best heated to decarboxylate the inactive THC-acids into THC-proper. Older cannabis will have gone through this process on its own to some extent, but the THC content will also suffer.

Wet pot won't work if eaten. It must be dried first. This starts the process known as decarboxylation. Smoking or eating will complete this but it must be dry.

mamabudz would say heat your MJ
"Doesn't it need to be heat activated in some way for it to effect you?"I do not argue the point that your system will extract cannabinoids from marijuana if eaten raw. But remember that cooking something does not just make it hot, it changes the chemical nature of your steak or whatever. You can go to marijuana.com and look under methods of use or look up mamabudz with the search engine and find out why I say what I do. This would best be found in the recipes section at MJ.com.Everyone knows how the THC is absorbed by the fat cells and stored there for a month or more. Cooking with fat releases the bonds that would hold some of the cannabanoids and would be wasted,if you will, if it is not heated in something with fat. Butterfat is a common substance and that is why they make cannabutter with the lower leaves and discarded leaves when the plant is harvested. It draws the cannabanoids out into a more digestable form. That is why even when people make tea they might put butter in it. Here is the link to the recipes section at marijuana.com if you have need of details for preparing foods. It is a great resource even though you have to filter out the repetition. People really do have need of knowing how to ingest cannabis with food. I too have wondered about cooking brownies because those cannabinoids will start vaporizing even at 350 degrees. Here is the recipes section at marijuana.com: http://cheaptalk.marijuana.com/420/forumdisplay.php?s=b9f39d8fd4d985fd8e64b5d0b7ca32ba&forumid=46You can also watch CiCi, the tapdancing chef, at pot-tv.1

The American Empire in YellowTimes article
I know everyone would like to have more time to read on the Internet. What the cannabis war shows us that the financial interest of the few override principles such as freedom, compassion, and pragmantism. There is another good article titled, "Against terrorism or expansion of the American Empire?" and written by William Blum: http://www.yellowtimes.org/article.php?sid=800&mode=thread&order=0 (YellowTimes.org) � Editors note: William Blum, established scholar and author of three books covering U.S. foreign policy, gave the following speech at the University of Colorado in Boulder on October 16, 2002.Normally I might post an entire article if it is from YellowTimes.org but this one is a little long. It is important to mention that YellowTimes is happy for you to circulate their articles as stated at the bottom of every article. I have a category on my bookmarks that is labeled, "Ten out of ten," meaning it is as good as it gets. I hope that you do not just read this article, but have another messageboard to spread what it says. This is an anti-brainwashing article and someone that still lives in lalaland might think of moving after an article or two like this. It is all about money for the monied and to them nothing else matters.1

Tim Leary wrote about microwave nuking a bud with some cheese on a ritz cracker I have used this method with patients. I also extract it using milk and a tad of butter, simmering 15 or 20 minutes.

Speaking of Pot Luck!
http://www.middle-east-online.com/english/?id=2960In Egypt, mice high on hash
Egyptian police find mice running zigzags after rodents find their way to half-ton of confiscated cannabis, hold feast.
CAIRO - Egyptian police found mice running zigzags on Wednesday after the rodents found their way to a half-ton of confiscated cannabis and held a feast.Police in the southern town of Qena were planning to burn the large stash of cannabis. When they entered a storage room at their station they found that a large number of mice had beaten them there and already eaten a good deal."A large number of mice were dizzy," a police official said, because they had nibbled a lot of "bango", as it is known in Egypt.Bango is the name used for Indian hemp, which is cultivated covertly around Egypt, notably in the Sinai.
For those of you who consume cannabis by eating it. Doesn't it need to be heat activated in some way for it to effect you? I always heard that you won't get high by just eating buds and stuff that you have to vaporize, smoke, cook, or in some other way heat activate it to a certain temperature.

(Hosea 4:6, 6:6)The Elkhorn Manifesto Shadow of the Swastika...Before the Gatewood Galbraith for Governor Campaign in 1991, few Kentuckians knew that the plant that the federal government had demonized for over 50 years as "Marijuana - Assassin of Youth," was, in fact, Cannabis Hemp, the most traded commodity in the world until the mid-1800s, and our state's number one crop, industry, and most important source of revenue, for over 150 years. "Shadow of the Swastika" is a follow-up to my earlier work, "Cannabis Hemp: the Invisible Prohibition Revealed," which I wrote and published in support of the Galbraith Campaign. Since publication of that booklet, there has been growing public acceptance of the evidence that Marijuana Prohibition was created in 1937, not to protect society from the "evils of the drug Marijuana," as the Federal government claimed, but as an act of deliberate economic and industrial sabotage against the re-emerging Industrial Hemp Industry. Previous investigations by hemp researchers have been limited to the suppression of free-market competition from the hemp industry, and focused on the activities of three prominent members of America's corporate, industrial and banking establishment during the mid- to late-1930s: "Certain American industrialists had a great deal to do with bringing fascist regimes into being in both Germany and Italy. They extended aid to help Fascism occupy the seat of power, and they are helping to keep it there." - William E. Dodd, U.S. Ambassador to Germany, 1937.
