Congress Considers Dangerous Mandatory Minimum Sentences For Marijuana Ask Your Member of Congress To Oppose H.R.1528! Read about this bill Please take action against a dangerous bill that is currently making its way through Congress. H.R. 1528, "The Safe Access to Drug Treatment & Child Protection Act of 2005" would dramatically increase mandatory minimum sentences for certain drug offenses. Under the proposed legislation, sponsored by House Judiciary Chair James Sensenbrenner (R-WI), any person age 21 or over who attempts or conspires to offer marijuana to someone younger than 18 years old shall face a mandatory sentence of 10 years in prison. The mandatory penalty for a subsequent violation of the statute is life in prison. Defendants found to have distributed marijuana near a drug treatment facility, or who have offered cannabis to someone who is currently or has been previously enrolled in drug treatment program, would receive a mandatory prison sentence of five years to life under the proposal. This effectively means that anyone caught passing a joint near a treatment facility, or to anyone who has even been in drug treatment, will face a mandatory five years in prison. Please take two minutes to write your member of Congress today and urge him or her to oppose H.R. 1528, an outrageous and expensive addition to an already failed public policy.

After being mistreated in jail, Kubby and his wife found their home ransacked, their reputation trashed, their money and magazine business ruined by police. At Kubby's urging, a Sacramento newspaper did a six month investigation of Placer County's anti-pot police unit, and found that officers conducted illegal searches in a number of cases, some of which were later thrown out due to police misconduct. http://www.cannabisculture.com/cgi/article.cgi?num=1682 Bushit Rumcheney Cocktail:Fascist Nationalism and MKULTRA THE DEMONIZATION OF GANJA Judge and Executioner Jonathan Magbie, a quadriplegic Washington, DC man, died in jail.

OPERATION INTERCEPT CHAPTER 2 The Multiple Consequences of Public Policy By Lawrence A. Gooberman The Multiple Consequences of Operation Intercept The findings given in this chapter have been consolidated from the responses to each of the major areas of inquiry as set forth in the interview guide. Excerpts from taped interviews with drug users and drug sellers, as well as drug abuse rehabilitation workers and journalists who closely observed the events of the summer of 1969 in the New York City area, will be presented. The findings are divided into three sections. The first section will focus on the availability of marihuana during the Operation Intercept era. The second section will be concerned with the range of behavioral reactions to the marihuana shortage. The third section will explore attitudinal reactions to the situation and to the underlying public policy. continued... http://www.hippy.com/php/article-188.html Police officials lied to toughen laws...

One of the most persuasive texts on that front came in 1972, when the National Commission on Marihuana and Drug Abuse put forth a report entitled "Marihuana: A Signal of Misunderstanding." This document recommended decriminalization on the grounds that marijuana and its users did not sufficiently endanger the public safety to warrant criminal penalties. President Nixon had no apparent use for the findings of his own commission's study as he ran for re-election. But the report was not without its executive influence. President Carter, early in his term, referred to it when he argued that "penalties against drug use should not be more damaging to the individual than the use of the drug itself. Nowhere is this more clear than in the laws against possession of marijuana in private for personal use."

Woman faces death penalty in Bali for cannabis. Below are some chilling excerpts from an article which appeared in a Melbourne paper today, by Tim Johnston: Here is the link for the full article: www.smh.com.au...10/12/1097406575365.html "A Gold Coast student who could face the death penalty for allegedly trying to smuggle marijuana into Bali has spoken of her distress and asked for help As Schapelle Leigh Corby was being led back to her cell in Bali's central police station after two hours of questioning yesterday, she told a Herald photographer: "I'm petrified, I'm scared - help me." Visibly shaking, she sent a message to her mother and sick father in Tugun on the Gold Coast: "Tell my mum and dad I love them." The 27-year-old beauty school student, who was arrested on Friday when she arrived in Bali from Brisbane, is being held on suspicion of possessing drugs, an offence that carries a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison and a fine. However, if police believe she has imported or dealt drugs, prosecutors can call for the DEATH PENALTY. Police allege they found 4.1 kilograms of marijuana packed in a plastic bag inside a bodyboard bag." "Ms Corby has denied the drugs were hers. Her defense team say they are investigating whether the drugs could have been planted on their client." This is very distressing and disturbing.

Boulder City police, ably assisted by the SWAT team from nearby Henderson, stormed Warren's home in April to discover six marijuana plants and various and sundry marijuana-related paraphernalia inside. She was arrested, charged with several felonies, and ultimately pled no contest to possession of a controlled substance. But before she entered her plea, Olsen filed a lawsuit to seize her house, valued at around $400,000, contending it was part of the instrumentality of her crime.

More Job Applicants Failing Workplace Drug Test September 28, 2005 By The Associated Press Oregon -- Workers and job applicants are failing drug tests at a higher rate this year in Oregon, bucking a recent national trend, officials say. Oregon Medical Laboratories in Eugene, the state's largest drug-testing laboratory, reports a 30 percent increase in the first six months of this year. Marijuana remains the most frequently detected drug, showing up in more than half of all positive tests. But methamphetamine appears to be the fastest-growing illegal drug of choice among workers. Read More... http://www.cannabisnews.com/news/thread21147.shtml CannabisNews Drug Testing Archives Drug Testing Feels Economic Pressures They are the staples of a modern-day job search: a polished resume, glowing references and a clean urine sample. Without fulfilling that last criterion for a satisfactory drug screen, applicants at many U.S. companies can forget about employment. In the almost two decades since the federal government launched its "drug-free workplace" promotions, tests for illicit drugs have become standard for thousands of employers. The tests have been credited with everything from higher productivity to decreased worker compensation claims. Tests are given to 25 million people annually, with an additional 25 million workers subject to screening. But as thousands of displaced workers hunt for new jobs in the current economic slump and hiring has slowed, the $737 million drug-testing industry's expansion in workplaces has slowed accordingly. And some employers are becoming less willing to spend money for drug testing if they do not believe that it contributes to the bottom line. Growth of the drug testing industry, which averaged more than 12.5 percent annually during the 1990s, has tapered off to only about 1 percent a year. Laboratories also struggle to provide accurate testing results despite "counterproducts" - the array of additives, cleansers and gizmos, readily available on the Internet, that employees can utilize to circumvent a positive drug test. Critics question whether businesses reap tangible benefits from the urine-in-a-cup. Continued cannabisnews.com/news/thread16218.shtml Allen St. Pierre, executive director of the NORML Foundation, a research organization that supports marijuana legalization, has a different perspective. He believes that employers have good reason to be concerned about workers who are high on the job. But urine tests are far more likely to nab employees who use drugs at a Saturday night party than those who are impaired during work hours, he said. And he believes that drug-testing policies are aimed more at morality than at productivity. The American Civil Liberties Union, in a 1999 report, argued that drug testing programs were not cost-effective - costing industries millions of dollars a year to nab the small percentage of workers who use drugs. The ACLU said that the federal government spent $11.7million to test nearly 29,000 workers in 1990. Only 153 employees flunked, putting the cost of finding each user at $77,000, according to the ACLU. Citing several academic and other studies, the ACLU says that drug users are not any more likely than their nonuser counterparts to have workplace accidents.

They contracted as advisors to 250 of the largest corporations to develop drug diversion, detection, and urine testing programs. Soon after Turner left office, Nancy Reagan recommended that no corporation be permitted to do business with the Federal government without having a urine purity policy in place to show their loyalty. Just as G. Gordon Liddy went into high-tech corporate security after his disgrace, Carlton Turner became a rich man in what has now become a huge growth industry: urine-testing. This kind of business denies the basic rights of privacy, self-incrimination (Fifth Amendment) rights, unreasonable search and seizure, and the presumption of innocence (until proven guilty). Submission to the humiliation of having your most private body parts and functions observed by a hired voyeur is now the test of eligibility for private employment, or to contract for a living wage.
