Just got back from a week in New York as tour guide for a wonderful group of students, and saw some great shows, including Smokefall, Nice Fish, Fun Home, Hamilton, and Eclipsed. Beautiful weather and we saw a lot of the city, including going all the way out to Coney Island and Brighton Beach.
Haven’t had time to catch up with drug policy developments yet.

“Radical Russ” needs a call out. He has come down on the the side of big money with this piece of detritus: http://marijuanapolitics.com/california-mclr-initiative-makes-it-impossible-to-jail-adults-who-sell-marijuana-to-kids/?utm_content=buffer0eeb3&utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook.com&utm_campaign=buffer
Here is the actual statute in it’s entirety: 11361. (a) Every person 18 years of age or over who hires, employs,
or uses a minor in unlawfully transporting, carrying, selling,
giving away, preparing for sale, or peddling any marijuana, who
unlawfully sells, or offers to sell, any marijuana to a minor, or who
furnishes, administers, or gives, or offers to furnish, administer,
or give any marijuana to a minor under 14 years of age, or who
induces a minor to use marijuana in violation of law shall be
punished by imprisonment in the state prison for a period of three,
five, or seven years.
(b) Every person 18 years of age or over who furnishes,
administers, or gives, or offers to furnish, administer, or give, any
marijuana to a minor 14 years of age or older shall be punished by
imprisonment in the state prison for a period of three, four, or five
years.
11361 establishes mandatory minimum sentences for plant crimes.
In short form, Radical Russ wants mandatory minimums for crimes involving harmless weeds. Draconian mandatory penalties for a crime that still remains a felony under MCLR. All MCLR does is remove the obligatory penalties for an established felony. It’s still a felony. Russ is either misleading, or misinformed.
He’s too smart to be misinformed, after all, he “read” the statues.
Speak, Fish.
I know you read this. Say something.

Typical Russ, I think I’ll call him Radical Rush from now on

Radical Russ ain’t so radical if he refuses to recognize that statist policies invariably lead to a coup de force. He’s status quo.
As I recall, selling cigarettes or alcohol to a minor doesn’t normally land someone in jail, but rather a fine and maybe beefed up detection of minors trying to buy contraband at one’s business. Russ needs to light up and lighten up.
Corection, it remains a misdemeanor, forgot about the governator’s decrim.
☛ Police say military armored trucks needed in war against marijuana
Law enforcement agencies across the U.S. have beefed up their resources with surplus military equipment, and a number said they’d use armored vehicles to fight methamphetamine and marijuana operations. Pictured, a mine-resistant ambush-protected (MRAP) vehicle is on display outside the Pentagon in Washington, D.C. in November 2009.

FDA Sends Warning Letters to Cannabis Companies Over False Claims
On February 9, the FDA sent out a number of warning letters to companies that make and sell products containing cannabidiol (CBD), a type of cannabinoid found in marijuana.
Codex Alimentarius
The Global Commission on Drug Policy issued a statement Friday (11th) addressed to the United Nations General Assembly Special Session (UNGASS), outlining its preferences for future international drug policy. The Commission recommends:
Issue #3 empowering WHO to review drugs schedules may not fly because it puts a dent in individual national sovereignty. Drugs policies in different countries differ radically, and nations are loathe to give up power of any kind. Also, the Vatican is heavily immersed in WHO, making the organization’s scientific objectivity on illicit drugs suspect.
Abolishing capital punishment would require the US abolish its death penalties related to drug crimes, again, something unlikely to happen under the current political situation.

“Travelers can now bring medical cannabis into New Zealand, thanks to a massive loophole in the Misuse of Drugs Act 1975.
The loophole allows anyone who is lawfully prescribed cannabis overseas to bring one month’s supply of the medicine into New Zealand.
Associate Health Minister Peter Dunne flip-floped last week over the interpretation of the law.
Dunne initially said law professor Andrew Geddis was wrong to suggest people could bring medical cannabis into New Zealand, but on Friday Dunne backed down and admitted his previous statements were incorrect.
On Checkpoint with John Campbell, Dunne said that up to a month’s worth of cannabis could be brought into New Zealand.”

There is still reason to believe that the NY Times continues it’s policy of pre-employment drugs screening.
NYT stands solidly with The Corporation in its obedience of Nancy Reagan’s urine purity standards, the better to control the liveware they’re still forced to employ. “Loosening drug policies” is not a national trend that I can see.
