Propozycja 19

w Kalifornii nie przeszla. Celem jej bylo ustanowienie prawa, ktore pozwalaloby uzywac marihuany do celow rekreacyjnych. Kalifornia juz uzywa ziolko do celow leczniczych tylko. Ze nie przeszla to sie nie ma co dziwic. Z gory rzad federalny straszyl obywateli, ze nie uzna nawet jak Kaliforniczycy beda glosowac za. No i oczywiscie jeszcze spoleczenstwo nie doroslo do tego zeby zamiast takich niebezpiecznych dla zdrowia narkotykow, jak alkohol i tyton wymienic na marihuane. Dac ludziom zdrowsza alternatywe. Spoleczenstwo sie zabija legalnymi narkotykami, a panstwo z tego sie raduje. Jak juz kiedys pisalem, zajmie dosc duzo czasu aby poprzez edukacje i gloszenie prawdy o marihuane zmienic percepcje spoleczenstwa. Czarna propaganda panstwowo-policyjna, ktora trwa od 70 lat zniewolila umysly kilku pokoleniom obywateli na calym swiecie.

POLICE SEIZE $2.5-MILLION IN POT PLANTS

The Toronto Drug Squad seized 2,674 marijuana plants and a large amount of hydroponic equipment in a maintenance room on buildings' rooftop.
Police say the investigation is ongoing and several suspects are outstanding. Vincent McDermott, National Post (NATIONAL POST, Wednesday, November 3, 2010).

Alcohol does more harm than crack: study
THREE TIMES WORSE
BY KATE KELLAND

LONDON * Alcohol is a more dangerous drug than crack and heroin when the combined harms to the user and others are assessed, British scientists said yesterday.
Presenting a new scale of drug harm, the scientists rated alcohol the most harmful overall and almost three times as harmful as cocaine or tobacco.
According to the scale, devised by a group of scientists including Britain's Independent Scientific Committee on Drugs (ISCD) and an expert advisor to the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs & Drug Addiction, heroin and crack cocaine rank as the second-and third-most harmful drugs. Ecstasy is only an eighth as harmful as alcohol, according to their analysis.
Professor David Nutt, chairman of the ISCD, whose work was published in The Lancet medical journal, said the findings showed "aggressively targeting alcohol harms is a valid and necessary public health strategy."
They also showed current drug classification systems had little relation to the evidence of harm. Alcohol and tobacco are legal for adults in Britain and many other countries, while drugs such as Ecstasy, cannabis and LSD are often illegal and users risk prison sentences. "It is intriguing to note that the two legal drugs assessed - alcohol and tobacco - score in the upper segment of the ranking scale, indicating that legal drugs cause at least as much harm as do illegal substances," added Mr. Nutt, formerly head of the influential British Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs.
He was forced to quit the council a year ago after publicly criticizing ministers for ignoring scientific advice suggesting cannabis was less harmful than alcohol.
The World Health Organization estimates risks linked to alcohol cause 2.5 million deaths a year from heart and liver disease, road accidents, suicides and cancer, or 3.8% of all deaths. It is the third-leading risk factor for premature death and disabilities worldwide.
Mr. Nutt's team rated drugs using a technique called multicriteria decision analysis, which assessed damage according to nine criteria on harm to the user and seven criteria on harm to others.
Harms to the user included things such as drug-specific or drug-related death, damage to health, drug dependence and loss of relationships, while harms to others included crime, environmental damage, family conflict, international damage, economic cost and damage to community cohesion.
Drugs were scored out of 100, with 100 given to the most harmful and zero indicating no harm at all. The scientists found alcohol was most harmful, with a score of 72, followed by heroin (55) and crack (54). Among some of the other srugs assessed were crystal meth (33), cocaine (27) and tobacco (26). Reuters (NATIONAL POST, Tuesday, November 2, 2010).

California to decide on liberal marijuana laws
Danny Glover among celebrities, law enforcement officials and even social media founders who have been throwing their weight behind Proposition 19

Prop 19
Such revelation have prompted the American Civil Liberties Union to push for passage of Proposition 19, a measure that would make it legal for any Californian older than 21 to possess an ounce, or 29 grams, of marijuana while also giving the green light to cities and counties to regulate and tax commercial sales of weed.

The state of California could vote next week to legalize, regulate and tax marijuana, a move that some suggest could not only blaze a trail for more liberal weed laws across the country but also obliterate a longtime racial injustice.
A recent study found that from 2006 to 2008, police in 25 of the state's major cities arrested blacks at four to 12 times the rate of whites. That's despite several federal government studies that suggest fewer African-Americans smoke marijuana than whites.
The study, conducted by the California chapter of National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) and the pro-legalization group. Drug Policy Alliance, concluded that marijuana arrests are racially biased because police focus on high-crime, low-income neighbourhoods often populated by African-Americans.
Joycelyn Elders, the African-American former surgeon general under ex-U.S. president Bill Clinton, has also urged an end to the war on drugs due to the racial disparities inherent in the battle. "We are spending billions of dollars each year for a war on drugs, but it has been a war on young black males ... and it's time for us to end that war," Elders said. THE CANADIAN PRESS (METRO, Tuesday, October 26, 2010).

The war on drugs has grown increasingly bloody, with more than 28,000 people killed in Mexico since President Felipe Calderon began his crackdown on the drug cartels (Eve Conant, "Pot and the GOP", NEWSWEEK, November 2, 2010).
