Niezreczna i niewdzieczna jest praca policjanta. Czy policjant widzacy te niesprawiedliwe i glupie prawa nie naraza sie na moralny dylemat?
Jestem za legalizacja narkotykow, szczegolnie zas marihuany, bo widze, ze prohibicja czyni wieksze spustoszenie w spoleczenstwie, niz czynilyby to legalne narkotyki.
To prohibicja i polowania z helikopterami na poletka organicznej marihuany spowodowaly, ze produkcja skryla sie pod dachy i zaczeto produkowac mocniejsza odmiane marihuany hydroponicznej. To prohibicja na miekkie, niegrozne narkotyki spowodowala, ze zaczeto produkowac meth. Kazdy dzieciak z kilku ogolnie dostepnych preparatow moze sobie w swoim domowym labolatorium produkowac rzeczywiscie grozny i uzalezniajacy meth.
Tylko malo inteligentny osobnik nie dostrzega korelacji pomiedzy wojna z narkotykami i produkcja silniejszych narkotykow, rozwojem gangow i przemocy, erozji praw czlowieka i wolnosci jednostki. Wojna z narkotykami doprowadzila do tego, ze zyjemy w panstwie policyjnym. Czy za to mamy winic policje?
Nie. Powinnismy winic politykow. Dlatego wazne jest, szczegolnie przed wyborami, zadawanie pytan potencjalnym naszym reprezentantom, co sadza o tej permanentnej, trockistowskiej wojnie? Wybierzmy tych, ktorzy odwaznie przeciwstawia sie tej przegranej wojnie. Czym szybciej to zrobimy tym lepiej, poniewaz nastepne pokolenia moga nam nie wybaczyc za ignorancje i poniesione straty.

'Party's over' for drug users: Tories
Health Minister Tony Clement will announce the Conservative government's anti-drug strategy this week with a stark warning: "The party's over" for illicit drug users.
"In the next few days, we're going to be back in the business of an anti-drug strategy," Clement told The Canadian Press. Shortly after talking office early last year, the Conservative decided not to go ahead with a Liberal bill to decriminalize small amounts of marijuana (METRO, Monday, October 1, 2007).
Kensington grow-op
Police have discovered a marijuana grow-op an an abandoned residence that went up in flames last Thursday. Police believe the grow-op in the Kensington Market area may have caused Thursday's devastating three-alarm blaze. It took crews three hours to extinguish the flames, which caused an estimated $400,000 in damage ("Briefs City News", 24 HOURS, Monday, October 1, 2007).
George dishes about pot habit
Pop singer George Michael has admitted his marijuana use can be "a problem" and said he is "constantly trying" to smoke less of the drug, BBC News Online reports.
"Absolutely I would like to take less, no question," he said. "To that degree, it's a problem."
But he added he did not think his habit was "getting in the way of my life in any way." "I'm a happy man and I can afford my marijuana so that's not a problem," he told BBC News 4's Desert Island Discs.
Michael has previously said the world would be an "easier place to live with" if cannabis was legal ("celebritybuzz", METRO, Monday, October 1, 2007).
Co zrobic z glina rodem z Afryki? Ciemny kolor skory Henry'ego Ubaki poczatkowo budzil konsternacje. Jednak przelozeni szybko wpadli na pomysl, ze moze byc to takze... operacyjny kamuflaz. Postanowili wykorzystac fakt, ze malo kto Henryka podejrzewa o taka profesje. Pracowal na Stadionie Dziesieciolecia po cywilnemu. Szczgolow zdradzic nie moze. Wiadomo, tajna misja. Latwo nie bylo. Chodzil w pojedynke, bez broni i kajdanek. Zdany tylko na wlasny spryt i nawijke. A tam narkotyki, bron i mnostwo innych nielegalnych rzeczy. Tym, ktorych zatrzymywal, szczeki opadaly. - Kto by pomyslal - mowili.
Nigeryjczycy mieszkajacy w Polsce byli zaskoczeni, ze Henry wybral sluzbe w policji. Teraz sa dumni, ze maja w niej "swojego" czlowieka. Ale sierzant Ubaka zastrzega: zadnej taryfy ulgowej. - Kiedys koledzy przywiezli na komisariat trzech Nigeryjczykow - mysleli, ze sie wykreca ze wzgledu na egzotyczne pochodzenie. Jak mnie zobaczyli, od razu przestali sciemniac.
W 2001 roku wyjechal w polskim kontyngencie na misje pokojowa do Kosowa. Malo jest w polskiej policji ludzi tak doskonale znajacych angielski. Potem, w Palacu Mostowskich, byl w specjalnej grupie rozpracowujacej gangi kieszonkowcow. Teraz pracuje jako mundurowy w komendzie na warszawskiej Pradze Polnoc...
Na poczatku kariery w policji mial dyzur w komisariacie, przyjmowal zgloszenia o przestepstwach. Przyszedl starszy, z wygladu bardzo nobliwy pan. Gdy zobaczyl Henry'ego, zrezygnowal: - Nie po to walczylem o wolna Polske, zeby w policji sluzyli Murzyni - trzasnal drzwiami. To boli bardziej niz glupie zaczepki pijaczkow (Luiza Luniewska, "Patrioci z importu", NEWSWEEK 19.08.2007).

Time for city to grow op
By MATT MERNAGH
AFTER THREE HOURS PUNCHING EACH other silly over issues like amending the fireworks bylaw, the licensing and standards committee is finally ready to hear my deputation September 11.
I'm here on behalf of the Canadian Cannabis Society to speak to the final agenda item: how the city plans to police pot and divvy up the proceeds of grow op busts.
At the start of the meeting, I hear chair howard Moscoe say offhandedly that he's thankful no one is speaking on the proposed bylaw. A city staffer informs him otherwise. Under the proposed bylaw, there will be a blanket prohibition on growing weed inside city limits. And when Toronto Police Services, the OPP or the RCMP notify the city that a property owner, wittingly or unwittingly, has a grow op on the premises, the owner will be fined via the assessment rolls.
And the definition of "grow op"? It will be up to the police to decide if city inspectors are needed. As written, the bylaw makes no accommodation for med pot users or compassion clubs, which are serving 5,000 people.
A first-time offender would be dinged with a $5,000 fine, $25,000 for a second offence and a mind-boggling $100,000 for a third charge, as well as substantial public health, building and fire inspection fees.
But won't this set of perks for popping potheads create a system ripe for abuse? Particularly when prohibition of grow ops outlaws even the legal kind - growing for medical pot?
Getting ready to speak, I check my stage attire: 100 per cent hemp dress shoes, soft brown pants, matching shirt and hemp bag. When Moscoe calls the agenda item, I'm already standing at the table with Toronto Compassion Centre outreach coordinator Tracy Curley and membership director Chad Cooke, a Health Canada legal med cannabis cardholder.
The councillors seem bewildered. And when Moscoe gives me the goahead to start, he's almost pleading, as if to say, "Please keep it short, potheads" - the first appearance of the cannabis community at City Hall and we're warned we may get cut down like our beloved plants.
I blast off by asking the committee to be proactive and ensure that Health Canada legal growers aren't inadvertently snagged in the proposed bylaw. Health Canada certainly isn't going to protect us from prosecution.
I go further. The city, I say, could eliminate gangs, violence and guns and keep libraries and pools open by instituting a licensing system to grow pot. Residentially licensed and industrial-sized ganja gardens could be allowed in city-zoned cannabis growing areas.
Seeing committee member Rob Ford nudge colleague Mike Del Grande, I pause. "Imagine the increase in safety and lawful activity if we chose to regulate this industry."
Did this bong hitter befuddle them? Not a single question. Moscoe passes a motion to receive our deputation. Before I'm even comfortably seated back in the audience, the bylaw passes.
As he votes, Moscoe tells us he believes the bylaw will have no effect on us medicinal growers, since it only targets grow ops with 500 plants or more.
But there's no exemption in the fine print. A week later, Del Grande e-mails me to say he's forwarding my suggestion for an amendment to legal services. Stay tuned (NOW, September 27 - October 3, 2007).

'Party's over' for druggies: Health minister
OTTAWA - Health Minister Tony Clement will announce the Conservative government's anti-drug strategy this week with a stark warning: "The party's over" for illicit drug users.
"In the next few days, we're going to be back in the business of an anti-drug strategy," Clement said. "In that sense, the party's over."
Shortly after taking office last year, the Conservatives decided not to go ahead with a Liberal bill to decriminalize small amounts of marijuana. Since then, the number of people arrested for smoking pot has jumped dramatically in several Canadian cities, in some cases by more than one third. Toronto, Vancouver, Ottawa and Halifax all reported increases in arrests for possession of pot between 20 and 50% in 2006.

Cops: can't trust 'em
CANADA TRULY HAS REACHED THE point where the default position is not to trust the police. When interacting with police, we must now assume that we are dealing with rogue thugs who will probably use every opportunity to make things difficult. Why? Because the police have cultivated this reputation.
We didn't develop our mistrust of the police because of the media, the movies or popular culture. The cops did it to themselves! They are not the wardens of a prison state, but they sure act like it.

Co do tych narkotyków to święta racja.
Poza tym że większość Policjantów wierzy w to prawo mimo ze nie jest idealne. Nie którzy tylko sobie zdają z tego sprawę. Ale ciągle wierzą w prawo bo inaczej nie byli by policjantami.
