cannabisnews.com: District Attorney Recall Effort Moves Forward District Attorney Recall Effort Moves Forward Posted by FoM on April 05, 2001 at 08:05:31 PT By Gus Thomson, Journal Staff Writer Source: Auburn Journal Saying he thinks raising 15,000 signatures on a petition to force a recall election of Placer County District Attorney Brad Fenocchio is "do-able," medicinal marijuana advocate Steve Kubby joined three other people Wednesday in taking a first step to put the question before voters.Kubby – whose trial on pot-for-sale charges ended with a mistrial earlier this year – was joined at the Placer County Finance Administration Center by Roseville's Lyman "Sandy" Sanborn, Sanborn's wife, Grace, and Edie Lerman, legal coordinator for the American Medical Marijuana Association. Sanborn is suing the county in federal court over a 1999 raid that netted no pot and no charges.Recall proponents begin the process by serving the district attorney with their notice of intention to circulate the petition. They must also file the notice with the county Elections Division and publish or post the notice.The group walked to the District Attorney's Office to hand the notice of intention to Fenocchio but learned that he was in Napa. Fenocchio is part of the prosecution team in the trial of accused quadruple murderer Arturo Suarez. They asked to hand it to a representative of the district attorney but were told that no one in the office would accept the notice.State recall procedures also allow proponents of an ouster to serve the targeted official by certified mail.

I'm engaged in a debate with some people about the harm caused by alcohol vs illegal drugs. Can anyone provide any specific links/stats that quantify the death rates and other collateral harm caused by alcohol vs illegal drugs? I know I've read this several places, but I can't seem to find it when I need it. You guys are the best!

The trial on those charges ended in a mistrial, but Kubby was found guilty of having a small amount of peyote.Kubby ran for governor in 1998 on the Libertarian ticket.Several lawsuits on similar medical marijuana arrests have been filed against the county. One of the recall participants, Lyman Sanborn, is suing the county in federal court over a 1999 raid. During that search police found no pot and no charges were filed.

Apparently there's this "Cannabis and Psychosis Project" that (surprise) is cannabis causes psychosis. (Though they are careful to not use the word "causes", they just insinuate it, instead.) I'm sure we'll here more from this (propaganda) "conference" mentioned.DRUG LINK TO PSYCHOSIS (Apr 4, 2001)http://www.mapinc.org/drugnews/v01/n590/a05.html [ Post Comment ] Comment #2 posted by FoM on April 05, 2001 at 09:26:18 PT Just a Note Hi Everyone, I am looking for good news articles and just can't find any more right now. I'll keep looking but the news is a bit slow. Thought I'd let everyone know I'm trying. FreedomToExhale [ Post Comment ] Comment #1 posted by Dan B on April 05, 2001 at 08:16:17 PT: Go get 'im! Steve Kubby and the rest are truly great Americans. I admire their tenacity. If you did not already know, the Kubby's have a regular show now on POT-TV, and the latest installment is an interview of the couple by Renee Boje, conducted not long after Kubby's trial ended in amistrial (jurors voted 11-1 in favor of Kubby, for those who did not already know). I'll provide a link to POT-TV below. You'll need to get RealAudio (downloadable for free at the POT-TV website) to view it.Dan B POT-TV [ Post Comment ] Post Comment Name: Optional Password: E-Mail: Subject: Comment: [Please refrain from using profanity in your message] Link URL: Link Title:
