A good random example of how to think about the drug bizCzarre and his side of things at morons.org
HOW TO GET CAUGHT FOR SURE: Escaped inmate in stolen car charged with "failure to yield to blue lights and sirens, driving without a license, possession of beer, possession of whisky, possession of marijuana, two counts of possession of a concealed weapon, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, possession of a stolen firearm and possession of a stolen vehicle." Should have been wearing a "lock me up!" tee-shirt.
Bronx, NY: Twenty-eight people, a ton of coke, a thousand pounds of pot, seven guns, thirteen vehicles, and five million dollars. First of all, why is any of that illegal? And second of all, none of this would happen without the Evil of Prohibition!
Police in Jamaica have arrested 19 Britons and seized 1,722 pounds of marijuana with the unbelievable value of US$342,000. Jamaican anti-drug thugs have kidnapped 4,500 people this year.
Lying, scheming, immoral
American drug bizCzar presumes to tell Canada how to handle their
druggies. Says "I'm not telling Canadians what to do" while telling
Canada what to do. Rightly booed and heckled.

It's either legal or it isn't, but don't tell the California
medical marijuana patient who was arrested for having
too much marijuana. Thirty-three pounds and 70 plants, plus
scales, packaging materials, and $12,000 in cash. ALL OF WHICH SHOULD BE
LEGAL!
Another excellent dismantling of the drug bizCzar's inflated claims of pot danger.
Whitehorse, Yukon Territory, debates legalization.
Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, finds pot has replaced
tobacco as #2 substance among youth.
Halifax, Nova Scotia, also finds tobacco down but marijuana
high among youths.
20,000 people a year are arrested for using marijuana
in Canada.
Stockbroker somehow not slobbering, drooling loser. Longest-time US pot recipient smokes 12 j's a day, and handles millions of dollars jus' fine. Cancer also stopped. Claims he has never been "high" from the weed.
Cultures in serious conflict: Nigerian religious lunatics go on murderous rampage after newspaper suggests Prophet Mohammed might have taken a wife from among Miss World contestants. Apparently, showing a little of God's beautiful female skin is considered evil, but burning strangers alive in the street is considered perfectly okay with Allah.
If you repeat lies long and loudly enough, and suppress all reasonable replies, people will begin to believe them. Here's an article that looks like it's balanced and intelligent, but is full of repeated distortions. How many can you find?
The marijuana-makes-you-crazy crap has now spread to Financial Times.

The California medical marijuana initiative being snuffed out by the Federal PuriTaliban.
THE PURITALIBAN REPORT:
FAYETTEVILLE AK: Four plants
(est 30 pounds total) and 50 pounds of marijuana, all hysterically valued at
$50,000.00!!
STEPHENVILLE TX: Thirty pounds of marijuana found in dashboard. Car was
examined because Mexican man seemed "nervous." RIGHT! COPS HAVE THAT EFFECT ON
PEOPLE, SO IT'S ALWAYS A CONVENIENT EXCUSE TO SEARCH A CAR.
GRAND ISLAND,
NE: Thirty-two-foot motor home stopped for careless driving,
466 pounds of pot found. Both this driver and the Mexican
mentioned before "consented to a search" of their vehicles. Suuurrrrreeee they
did.... but not necessarily verbally or willingly. Who would know? It's the
perp's word versus the cop's, as always.
HAMPTON, VA: Same goes for
this case in which police on patrol found one car running unattended, two men
in another car, and the men were "acting suspiciously" so the talibastards
caught them with
30 pounds of marijuana and $3500 in cash and a gun, NONE
OF WHICH SHOULD BE ILLEGAL.
PINE BLUFF, AK: Three young men
stopped for an alleged traffic violation and "acting nervous." But dummy!
Driver had expired license. The drug dog was called, barked on command as they
always do, and many bundles of marijuana were seized by the agents of religious
tyranny.
WARD, AL: BRAVE AND POWERFUL PURITALIBAN AGENTS OVERPOWER
31 DANGEROUS POT PLANTS. See photos of scraggly-looking
plants they hysterically value at $1600 per plant!!
BOREHANWOOD,
UK: 52-year-old man charged with "conspiracy to produce cannabis plants." Conspiracy with
whom?
GOD?
NEW SOUTH WALES: Cannabinazis destroy
"millions of dollars worth" of pot, "thousands" of hydroponic plants. Three
innocent marijuana farmers put in the gulag by the drug
thugs.
AUSTRALIA: "One the most recorded indigenous musicians in
Australia" arrested with ludicrously valued $28,000 (quantity not noted) worth
of pot.
BOISE, ID: The lives of two brothers were tragically
interrupted when drug thugs imprisoned them for
twenty-five plants. Arrest made on "an anonymous tip,"
another inarguable source for tyrants to use.
OYO STATE, AFRICA:
25
hectares of marijuana destroyed by insane Prohibitionist zombies. They have
destroyed a thousand times that much!
LAREDO, TX: Mexican
arrested with
581 pounds of pot stored in the tires of the truck he was
driving. (This may in part explain the strange "old tire" smell often
reported accompanying Southwestern weed.)
THIS JUST GOES ON AND ON! If you add up just the reported pounds in the last few days' articles, you realize THERE'S AN AWFUL LOT OF POT OUT THERE, and the Prohibitionist thugs aren't making a dent, just raising their sick dust to blind and confuse the electorate. LET THOSE WITH EYES SEE CLEARLY!

I'm not Blogging comments as much lately. The winds still blow strong even so.
America's plans to know everything you do continue.
Theocratic fanaticism declares not only that what the fanatic believes are "God's rules" applies to the fanatic, but also must be made to apply to the "heathen." Thus we get, for example, Sunday blue laws in Oklahoma, or a McDonald's burned to the ground in Abu Dhabi, just because it didn't close during Ramadan.
Meanwhile, in the McD's-made-me-fat lawsuit, the greaseburger chain says everybody knows their junk food is unhealthy. (Eat healthier.)
Minneapolis public housing commissioner resigns after pleading guilty to taking marijuana into a state prison where he volunteered as a religious worker. Holy smoke! They should give him a medal.

Mother defends her fetus, but the law won't. Article says this "re-opens" debate on when a fetus is considered a person. No it doesn't. When will they learn, a woman's body is her own, and the flip side of the freedom to choose abortion is that the legal "viability" of that fetus depends on the parent. If you shoot a pregnant woman and she lives but her intended child doesn't, that's homicide, even if she had planned to have an abortion the next day.

Really bad for the cause: A woman has been sentenced to three years' probation for smoking marijuana with her 2-year-old nephew. I've been in homes and seen startlingly young children given a toke. Kids like to get high, too, as witness kids spinning around until they fall down dizzy. But this kid was found by his mother "slumped on the floor." That sounds like too much to me, and apparently seemed so to the parent. The kid was taken to a hospital, which is what got everybody in trouble, when probably all that was needed was a little drying-out time. This one should probably be classified partly under "cultures in conflict." We used to give our daughter wine when she was little (but not that young!), but always just a highly-diluted splash. As an adult, she shows no sign of alcoholism or poor judgment or other ill effects. In cultures where alcohol is less taboo than America, this is more common. Kids toking a little with the folks may actually prevent later excessive experimentation. Generally, the most dangerous part of sharing weed with the kids is getting turned in when the kids are turned by the drug nazis. (See next article.) Good judgment is always necessary, whether it's controlling television or internet access or knowing what the kids eat and drink. And few people really have good judgment. In a less drug-frenzied society, letting a two-year-old smoke pot might still be considered poor judgment, but there would be considerably less stigma to the whole situation. More importantly, in a less drug-frenzied and better-informed society, such adults might have learned better judgment.
PuriTalibanical schoolteachers paying students for drug snitching? Yup. Jacksonville FL. A student can earn $100 for turning in a friend with just one joint. What's next? Paying kids to squeal on their parents? Worked for the Nazis and Communists.
Rewarding prohibitionists and laughable government lies: Customs
honcho
given a medal and cash for "reducing the volume of cocaine
entering the United States." These drug nazis took 350 people, 62 vessels,
twelve tons of cocaine, and 3,400 pounds of marijuana." The American Coast
Guard reports that this year, in "five separate events," they have taken
"more than 5000 pounds of marijuana and 2200 pounds of
Cocaine." Wonder if those figures per what got past them is even in the
double-digit percentage! Mexico, in the first half of the year, intercepted a
paltry "22 tons of cocaine, 1,350 tons of marijuana and 500 pounds of
heroin." And pat themselves on the back for becoming better dupes of the
American PuriTaliban.
All that effort for nothing. Except to waste taxpayer
dollars and keep American liberty (and peace) from being realized.
PROHIBITION IS FATAL TO THE CONSTITUTIONAL DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF THE UNITED
STATES. Heroin and cocaine and crack are all $#!+ drugs, but legal
available cocaine and heroin will never match the destruction of this Orwellian
assault on rights and liberty.

Governments to become net nannies for everybody: Under the never-arguable banner of "protecting the children," new software is coming into government hands which will allow them to find out wherever you go, whatever you download, on the internet. Child pornography is the ostensible target, but if you go to a communism website, want to research information on substances the Prohibitionistas consider taboo, or just look at information on a political party not currently in power, they can know.
Land of the free? When America was free, one was free to travel. A citizen of that free country needed no papers, needed carry no documenation of citizenship, to travel. In the state of Michigan, travelers are now subject to random traffic stops, with the Feds looking for "illegal immigrants, terrorists and drug or weapon smugglers." Police clampdowns are what happen when social structure has failed.

Lots of stuff today.
As I predicted two days ago, Iraq has accepted the UN arms-inspection resolution over the vote of its parliament. (Okay, it was an easy guess.)

WHAT commonly-used substance is believed to kill 150,000 Americans
a year?
SALT! The average American consumes four times the
recommended amount of salt each day. BETTER PROHIBIT THIS DRUG, WHICH KILLS FAR
MORE EACH YEAR THAN MARIJUANA EVER HAS.
Vermont moves toward medical marijuana licensing. "When you talk to people individually they say, 'Of course, we'll support this.' But also to see law enforcement people being compassionate is really nice," said medical marijuana supporter Debbie Ramsdell. The wheels turn glacially slowly....
Australian 85-year-old says without marijuana to ease his pain he may take his own life. "It's not only pain, it kills the cancer at the same time. If ever I cannot get it (marijuana) back, I take my life." He consumes the marijuana as a juice. Pot fights cancer.
PROHIBITION PROBLEMS: Folks who have prohibited substances can be demeaned in court. In a murder case in Huntsville AL, the husband of the victim had a gym bag with pot and hash. Had it been beer and wine, nothing would have been said about it in court, but because what he had was taboo under the PuriTalibanical regime, the mere mention of his possession casts aspersions upon him. Another one: alleged complaints of marijuana smoking ("considered to be medicine by California State Law") used by landlords to use police to harass tenants.
VICTIMS: Flor M. Ruiz, 26, and William J. Tucker Jr., 41, of

NOT-SO-INNOCENT VICTIMS (a/k/a unhelpful to the cause): Lee Jackson Jr., 28, of Kankakee IL, arrested for driving without a license, domestic battery, and holding pot. One out of three is an actual crime. One is a regulation. The other is an unConstitutional religious taboo. Same blotter, Bradley IL, a 14-year-old boy and two brothers 17 and 20, caught with oodles of stolen property... and a closet pot plant. Eighteen-year-old in Reno steals donation box and equipment from Viet Nam Memorial and also has pot plant in his closet. One of these things is a true crime. And so on....
WAR HERO: Carol Thomas of Salem, NJ, has
challenged local and state forfeiture laws, rightly claiming
that the law "gives state and county prosecutors a profit incentive to pursue
cases and that violates due process." Hear! Hear! That's just one of the
problems with these unprincipled corruptions of justice.

Narconuts in Malvern Arkansas broke up a private party, where the guys just wanted to do some coke, a lot of beer and booze, gamble on a football game, and smoke some blunts, all of which in Malvern are illegal! Among the charges was this Prohibitionistic nonsense: "overpossession of alcohol." More proof that all prohibition laws are garbage. These fellows weren't doing anything to anybody and nobody asked the cops to do it, but the Puritalibanical anti-liberty forces go where they wish and do what they want without reason or justice.

Anointed enforcers of Prohibition in Secane PA followed a tip by a janitor about "suspicious activity," engaged in a high-speed light-running car chase, and netted an undisclosed amount of marijuana worth (so they say in their weird ways) $40,000. Another strike against human liberty!
Note this paragraph from an
AP article about a concert featuring the remaining
Grateful Dead musicians: "At a warmup concert in August, thousands
of Deadheads converged on East Troy, Wis. The crowd was peaceful, but police
issued 411 citations for drug violations and seized more than 51 pounds of
marijuana, 7,300 doses of LSD, 10 pounds of hallucinogenic mushrooms, a tank of
nitrous oxide and small amounts of other drugs." Note that! The crowd was
"peaceful" with all those massive amounts of pot, acid, and mush there.
Peaceful. SO WHY ARE THESE SUBSTANCES ILLEGAL???

A real looney-toon of an
editorial by John Valenti in Newsday. He sees some
driver lighting up a pipe, probably pot. He gets incensed, remembering one of
those intelligence-insulting Prohibitionist propaganda promos he'd seen on TV
the night before. He rants on about drugged driving, noting figures in passing
that show drunk drivers still account for seventy times all
drugged-driving arrests combined. He makes a relatively good point that drugged
driving is a problem. Most interesting is the reference to "a horrendous crash
in Las Vegas in which the driver allegedly had almost 22 times the legal limit
of marijuana byproduct in his system." Second reference to pot-level "legal
limits" I've seen lately. Just what does that mean? It's not a cumulative
inebriant like alcohol. What kind of unreasonableness are the prohibitionist
fanatics pulling now?

When police need easy arrests, they can always hit a rock concert, such
as the Widespread Panic concert in Charleston. Three dozen
arrested. Twenty-one were arrested for selling booze to minors. Several others
were arrested "with relatively small amounts of marijuana." And one for peeing
in public. This was down from 45 arrests last year, when the arrests included
coke, mush, and ecs. The cops congratulated themselves on putting the fear of
Prohibitionism into the crowd, with fewer arrests and fewer hard drugs. Of
course it just might be the crowd was smarter this year? Nah.

Recreational cannabis trade is a boon for the Dutch economy. I guess the Dutch are just a whole lot better people than Americans, because they can smoke pot and not go crazy. And... "It's a cash cow for everyone involved."
German documentary charges US used biological weapons in Korean War and is still doing research contrary to international treaties. Raises the possibility that Rumsfeld, Cheny, and Bush Sr. were in on the renowned 1953 "suicide" of CIA biochemist Dr. Frank Olson.
In the last election, in Vermont's governor's race, the Make Marijuana Legal candidate came in #4, even with another pro-pot party and the Libertarians on the ballot. (Those poor Libertarians. So few vote for the Party of Principle.)
South Dakota turned down a measure (end of the article) which would allow hemp to be cultivated and marketed if it had 1% or less of THC. They wouldn't even allow that. 196,156 voters were duped by the Prohibitionistas with their insane propaganda, but 120,054 South Dakotans are to be praised for being reasonable, intelligent, and liberty-respecting.
Thirteen arrested in Delaware in drug sweep. Crack, coke, pot. I asked a liquor dealer last night, how do you think things would go if legalization were passed. From her own experience, she says, it would be a terrible tangle of restrictions and taxes and fees. Probably would create a black market all over again, as with moonshiners and cigarette smugglers. Legalization, obviously, is insufficient. We must have reasonable legalization.
An excellent response to the recent British Lung Association propaganda on pot.
Is heroin easier to obtain than pot or beer? This article from Pittsburg says it is. Hey, kids! Heroin: Bad idea! Or, as one user interviewed put it: "This ain't like a joint or nothing. This is heroin. This is life or death."
Traffic tips to druggies, again: Don't
speed with a suspended license while holding like a fellow
here in Bartlesville. Don't
run a
stop sign and then try to elude police while holding pot and coke. Don't go
speeding while possessing sixty-seven pounds. Don't go
speeding drunk while holding. Don't go
speeding while holding twenty-eight baggies of crack and four
bags of pot. Don't
speed and follow too closely while conveying sixty-two
pounds of pot and four gallons of prometh codeine. Slow down, dudes! We'll
all live longer and happier lives. (See paragraph after next for
comments on these traffic stops.)
speeding while
possessing 67 pounds: www.kotatv.com/localnews/story.asp?ID=12882
Yet more hints to druggies: When you're holding several little baggies of pot to sell, it's a bad idea to pass out drunk on the side of the road. On good old legal alcohol, of course. (Duuuhhhhhh...mmmmm!) Oh, yes, don't be the son of an Oklahoma ex-congresscritter and hit your girlfriend while holding. And forget driving, don't walk down the street drunkenly, get accosted by a cop, act nervous, and get searched, while holding. Don't leave your stash of cash in a motel room drawer, lest conscientious souls report it and you get caught with the goodies. Don't let underage kids, especially a runaway, hang out at your place smoking pot and drinking booze. Bacardi Silver. GURK! Don't go shooting out folks' windows with an illegal firearm while growing and holding near a school. Same blotter, don't throw eggs from your car while holding. Same blotter, don't drink, smoke pot, and do pills, burgle, threaten, and conduct yourself in a disorderly fashion. Sheesh! Some people! Don't have a domestic quarrel that brings the police while your bong and a bag are sitting in plain view. Don't smoke pot in your room in a HoJo motel hosting a sheriff's conference.
"He was acting in a suspicious manner." "He ran a red light [or stop sign]." These are the kinds of accusations leading to personal searches which the cops can use, and no one can dispute because it's the perp's word versus the cop's. Therefore, all such reports are suspect. For example, after tracing the cash left in a motel room, the cops "just happened" to stop the man who had the room the night before making an "illegal left turn." They can do whatever they want, cops. I mean, they called a drug-sniffing dog because of an illegal left turn? Riiiiight.
I'm actually very cop-friendly, generally speaking. One of the main reasons I would like to see repeal is because of the terrible burden put on cops forced to enforce bad laws, and the temptation for corruption that prohibition creates. Like the two Texans, one the police chief of Donna, the other an ex-cop, who are accused of helping run pot. I could not be a cop because I couldn't enforce the bad laws, but officers violating their oath and trust to uphold the law, as it is, are despicable in any realm. Ending prohibition won't end cop corruption, of course, but it will mean the corrupt cop will have to look the other way regarding real crimes, assault, theft, murder and I believe in the true nobility of most cops enough to think there would be far fewer who would be corrupted for those crimes, instead of the more mungable ethics they face with "soft" or "victimless" crimes.
Native Americans are not immune to the anti-drug cultism. A band of AmerInds acts officially to prevent marijuana from Mexico reaching its American customers. "Just in the last year alone … we have seized more than 65,000 pounds of marijuana." They stopped one-third of all the pot intercepted in Arizona. What's bizarre is, they're actually proud of their efforts! The Puritanical European invaders certainly got you guys seduced! They are using their tracking and hunting skills to help stop terrorists, as well. Too bad they're sucked into the white eyes' Prohibitionism or they'd be all right.
In St John's, Newfoundland, a ten-year-old murder case has been
resolved. The murdering punk, who had been in a band that performed a song
called "Kill Your Parents," said "he was
stoned on LSD, marijuana, beer and other alcohol" when he committed
the murder of his friend's mother. Acid, booze and grass (a line from a
Joni Mitchell song) — and punk hate — talk about a bad mix!
Let's have no illusions that any drug, not acid (witness the
Manson
family use), not pot, is the "peace love" drug, but for drugs alone, that
booze is worst likely to screw you up!

In Grady County, Georgia, a man has been busted for both marijuana and moonshine-makin'. Four months ago, the same fellow was busted for making meth. Not a steady worker. The marijuana was estimated at thirty-five gazillion dollars. The still could produce 100 gallons, but the hootch for some reason was not valued at thirty-five gazillion dollars, possibly because no one would believe that. Maybe he should go to jail. You can't easily mess up pot, but you sure can make bad booze and messed-up meth pretty easily. Of course, legalization (and reasonable taxation) would eliminate the moonshining and the meth labs, but if America can't handle legal pot, then the land of the cowed and the home of the bleak is sure not ready for true human liberty.
