  Mellowing Out on Marijuana

Denver, CO -- Those Rocky Mountains are getting higher. Two municipalities — Denver, Colorado, and the small town of Hailey, Idaho — passed pro-marijuana measures on election day this week, joining a growing number of liberal localities that are reducing or removing penalities on using pot. It's part of a slowly evolving populist rehabilitation of the drug. San Francisco, Oakland and Santa Monica in California, along with Missoula, Montana, and Seattle, Washington, have previously passed laws that give the lowest priority to enforcing existing marijuana laws.
Federal regulations, which supercede local ordinances, continue to prescribe heavy penalties — even in some cases death — for major dealers of illegal drugs, including marijuana. The federal penalty for possession of even a miniscule amount is a misdemeanor punishable by one year in prison and $1,000. Penalties are higher with cultivation, sale and crossing state lines. However, magistrates generally use state and local laws as sentencing guidelines — unless there is federal intervention, which doesn't occur in every drug case because they would increase court time and costs. Not every attempt at liberalizing the laws has been successful. Last year, the pro-marijuana lobby tried to pass legalization laws in Nevada and Colorado; both failed. But this week's results in Denver heartened pro-pot activists: 57% of voters in the city approved "lowest law enforcement priority." Coming after a 2005 vote removing all penalties for possessing small amounts, Denver joins Alaska to become only the second place in the U.S. offering a free ride to users caught with less than an ounce. Denver's local and political culture has been amenable to such legal re-orientations. Last summer, Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper and four of the 13-member city council told a local newspaper they had smoked pot in the past, while another six councilmen refused to answer and only three said no. The Denver measure was pushed by a single activist: Mason Tvert, who organized SAFER, Safer Alternative For Enjoyable Recreation, on the University of Colorado and Colorado State University campuses, and now runs it from his Denver home. He was funded in part by the Marijuana Policy Project, which received $3 million this year from Peter Lewis, the heir of the Progressive Insurance Companies, who helps fellow billionaire George Soros support liberal causes. More remarkable is Tvert's counterpart in Idaho, Ryan Davidson of Boise. Davidson operated without any MPP money after failing to get measures on the ballot in 2004 in a number of Idaho cities. This past year, he got it on Hailey's ballot after winning a ruling in federal district court that overturned Hailey's law preventing nonresidents from circulating petitions. "This was the least funded campaign in history," he says. "I spent maybe 20 bucks. I got the signatures on the petitions on my own dime. I spread the word through e-mail and phone calls and posting on blogs, I printed some fliers off my computer, photocopied them at Kinko's and put them under car windshield wipers on Monday." Jim Spinelli, executive director of Hailey's Chamber of Commerce, insists there is no grassroots pro-pot movement and expressed surprise that three of four pro-pot measures passed: legalizing medical marijuana and decriminalizing both marijuana itself and industrial hemp. (The only measure that failed asked for a straight-out legalization of marijuana.) A town of 8,500, Hailey is 12 miles from the Sun Valley ski area. When Spinelli worked Tuesday's election, he says he saw a lot of older affluent voters and young people from the service sector. In Idaho, being under the influence of pot in public draws a six-month sentence and $1,000 fine. At least in Hailey, if the local police — as opposed to the state police — handle an arrest, local ordinance will be applied. In 38 states, incarceration still awaits even first-time offenders possessing small amounts of marijuana. In Connecticut, possessing a "useable amount" is punishable by a year in jail and $1,000 fine. Nevada sends its pot users — possessing any amount — into rehab or treatment and imposes a $600 fee. Federal law calls for a year in jail and $1,000 for anyone caught with any amount. The National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML) says there are 65,000-85,000 people incarcerated in this country for cannabis-related reasons. But NORML spokesman Allen St. Pierre points out that the law is growing increasingly lenient in many other places. In Alaska, there's no jail or fine for holders of an ounce or less in their homes. In Nebraska, possession of less than an ounce is simply a civil citation. In Ohio, no criminal record is kept of a minor misdemeanor, that is, possession of less than 100 grams. Since the 1970s, the home-rule cities of Ann Arbor and Madison — who are allowed by their states to let city regulations supersede state laws for the most part — have simply imposed $25 fines for possession. St. Pierre says NORML and related organizations expect 2008 to be "much busier" for pro-pot activism and referendums. And even though federal law is the final word, St. Pierre says that when campuses, municipalities, counties and states vote, politicians listen. "It speaks to the mores and values of those administering justice. As Tip O'Neill said, 'All politics are local.'"Source: Time Magazine (US) Author: Rita HealyPublished: November 8, 2007Copyright: 2007 Time Inc.

We do want to know what they have in store for us but I believe somethings we just won't know until the time comes for us to know. To look into the future and be aware of pitfalls is a good thing. We really can't be sure about much of anything though.

sound file conversion
Google dMC-r9.exe. This is Power Amp DB ver. 9 sound converter software. Get ver. 9. The later versions have a problem with the MP3 converter and a copyright thing. Ver. 9 is the last totally free ver. Anyway, it is a quick and easy way to convert sound formats. I have used it for converting CD music format to .MP3 format. I think it should do most of the sound file formats. I haven't used it much lately, but it worked fine when I did use it. Give it a try. The price is right.

i used to get songs, only get a few a month now ...some movies, but I ain't trying to put Blockbuster or Netflix out of business, I just get stuff I like. not too much anymore, every once in a while I remember a movie I haven't seen in a while.When a buddy was here a while ago he mentioned the movie "Pink Flamingoes" and I had him a copy in a couple of hours.I'm looking for a good copy of "Fritz the Cat" these days, not too much luck ...If Sho/HBO/Cinemax whatever would play these movies once in a while hey, I'd DVR them.

It was fun to do. I doubt I will make it a regular habit because I only wanted to hear the concert that I can't go to see this time. Maybe he will do a small Spring tour but if he doesn't I have the music and that does make me happy. Neil live is really great. I read where they were having problems with the beer drinking folks. I'm like many people who won't budge thru the whole concert. I'd miss something! LOL!

I don't know either. For me getting it copied was the most important thing. I can't expect much out of this computer. It has worked hard and if it died today I still would be happy with it. I've learned alot about videos and music while using this. I am really happy about this air card working. It is a little faster then the satellite but the no Fap is what makes me happy. I could have never attempted this download with HughesNet. I guess I must have helped because a lot was uploaded during my download. I guess that is seeding.

I also send copies of important passwords to one of my yahoo accounts so I always have them. I did get one song converted to a wav but I have no idea how I did it.

good luck burning, I think if you choose "burn data" it should work. I usually choose that for burning divX movies, after all, all computer stuff is data of some kind.even with the flac plugin installed I couldn't get Winamp to burn last night. Haven't tried today, may later, right now, I'm cooling it listening to tunes.

I haven't downloaded potpal's link yet. I am trying to figure out how to put the songs on a cd. I just was successful with a few songs but I can't remember how I did it. My husband always asked me if I read directions on things and I don't. The only way I can figure out something is to do it over and over again until I get it and then I don't forget it.

I thought we were all adults having an adult conversation. But whatever. Have I said anything against who you like? If we can't talk about politics then I don't know what else to say now. Vote for whoever you want. As I said on the other thread, bye for now. I'll check back in a while. I just don't see the point of continuing if my opinion isn't welcome.

You seem to either love or hate a person running for President. These people aren't God but human beings just like us. Having imperfections doesn't mean we have to hate them. People will vote acording to their own conscience and values and we really should be allowed to form our own opinion ourselves and privately.

Thank you. This is really hard for me to figure out. I don't know if this old computer can handle downloads like this.

I have a question. I heard Cinnamon Girl from the Portland concert on Rust Radio last night and it was amazing but I have no idea how to download it. I never tried to do any big download because of HughesNet but maybe I can give it a try now. I need step by step instructions and would appreciate your help when you have time.http://www.rustradio.org/torrentlist.php

I'll go nude before I have to do everyone's laundry. I doubt if that would go over too well!On another note, it looks like the PNAC agenda is going full-steam ahead... Govt. plans to divert oil into reserve:
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20071109/ap_on_go_ca_st_pe/bodman_oil_3From the above linked article..."The Energy Department announced it has awarded contracts to three companies — Shell Trading Co., Sunoco Logistics and BP North America — for 12.3 million barrels of oil to go into the government's Strategic Petroleum Reserve, beginning in January.Deliveries are scheduled at a rate of 70,000 barrels a day for six months."So, by July of 2008 our Strategic Oil Reserve will be pretty well stocked. The elections will be just around the corner. Interesting timing.Maybe they know the flow of oil from the Middle East will be disrupted...The Neoconservative Agenda to Sacrifice the Fifth Fleet:

That would be fun! It really is a tolerant state since the law was changed back in the 70s. I heard a story about a guy that had some plants growing outside and someone told on him and they came and cut them down and knocked on his door but he wasn't home so they carefully removed the door from the hinges because they didn't want to hurt the door and went in and sat down and waited for him to come home. When he did get home and walked in the house they lectured him. That's nice.

In Ohio, no criminal record is kept of a minor misdemeanor, that is, possession of less than 100 grams.It seems that you live in a good place. Maybe we should all move to Ohio and camp out in your yard. You could cook for us all and do our laundry!
