Drug Tests! Get Your Drug Tests!
Wed Feb 28, 2007
By Mary Ought Six
The Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) held its annual Regional Drug Testing Summit February 27th in Newark, NJ. The central discussion at the yearly summit: How best to deter the country’s young minds from drug experimentation? The conclusion: Through increased monitoring of students’ urine followed by penalties for positive results - which usually means exclusion from the extra-curricular activities that can keep kids out of trouble after school.
Random drug testing has been a controversial component of the drug war since slipping into America’s workplace in the late 80s; the industry has boomed over the last twenty years, expanding its authority over employment, and making its way into government institutions, jails, rehabilitation centers, and, more recently, schools.
Opening remarks for this year’s conference by Bertha K. Madras, Ph.D., Deputy Director, Demand Reduction ONDCP …READ MOREtags: 47 « add a comment

A Valentine’s Day Note to the Emperor of Hemp – We Choo-choo-choose You!
Wed Feb 14, 2007
By Mary Ought Six
It’s February 14, 2007, thirty-three years since Jack Herer and close friend Captain Ed Adair pledged to save the world through cannabis. This Valentine’s Day, the odds are up.
Last week, Sir Richard Branson, best known for enterprising the Virgin mega brand, cut the ribbon on his latest innovation: The Virgin Earth Challenge. Branson’s “Earth Challenge” is a contest to present the best concept for ridding the earth of greenhouse gasses and boasts a staggering $25 million prize for the winning idea.
‘Sunshine’ thinks that Herer deserves it. “Few things would make me happier than to hear you were given $25 million for your cause!!” she posted on Jack Herer’s popular MySpace.com page. Herer’s best-selling cult classic, The Emperor Wears No Clothes, has been touting mass hemp production as the solution to our pollution since its first printing in 1985. …READ MOREtags: 30 « add a comment

Judge Marilyn Hall Patel, of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, has ruled to drop all charges against Charles Edward “Eddy” Lepp stemming from a 2004 raid of his Lake County, California property, on the grounds of an invalid search warrant.
Lepp told HIGH TIMES, “This motion should have been turned in the day after my arrest and it all should have been over within thirty days.”
The raid netted 32,512 marijuana plants, the largest bust of its kind in the United States, with the ensuing legal battle earning Lepp the HIGH TIMES Freedom Fighter of the Year Award at the 2004 Cannabis Cup.
After starting off with powerful attorneys Dennis Roberts and then Tony Sera, Lepp eventually fired them both for refusing to file a motion using the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA) as a defense. Four months ago, the court appointed him Assistant Federal Public …READ MOREtags: 208 « add a comment

Interview by Mary Ought Six
HIGH TIMES: In regards to MDMA research, why do you think that you have had success working within the system? Have you ever had a negative reaction from the DEA or ONDCP to MAPS or your research?
RICK DOBLIN: Well I practically have had nothing but negative reactions from the DEA and ONDCP. They definitely don’t like what we’re doing; they are destructionistic and in many cases need to be sued to do what’s right. The drug Czar’s office is really based on ideology, they actively suppress science that they fear might turn out against their propaganda, the DEA is really willing to ignore human suffering in order to delay research that gets in the way of any kind of arguments about the value of prohibition. I think what has happened though, is that we’ve had success despite the DEA and the ONDCP, primarily because of persistent, political pressure on the DEA and on the drug …READ MOREtags: 16 « add a comment

Eddy Lepp stands alone in the marijuana world. Admirers point to his 25-acre medical-pot farm in Northern California (the largest of its kind in the world), his title as the 2004 HIGH TIMES Freedom Fighter of the Year and his work as the spiritual leader of Eddy’s Medicinal Gardens and Multi-Denominational Ministry of Cannabis and Rastafari. Critics (including the federal government), however, paint an unflattering portrait of a flashy profiteer who is out for himself. Currently, the 53-year-old Vietnam vet in the center of this cannabis crossfire is out on bail, facing the possibility of four life sentences plus 40 years and over $17 million in fines. All for the love of ganja?
Located in the middle of Eddy Lepp’s massive house, its walls painted shades of hot pink and bedecked with various knickknacks from his travels, the master bedroom was once the throbbing heart of this enterprise—one of the only …READ MOREtags: 87 « add a comment

Marijuana Policy Project Celebrates 10 Years of Not Celebrating Pot Culture
Fri May 13, 2005
Story by Mary Ought Six
“Know thy audience.” This is the mantra for Executive Director and Co-Founder of MPP, Rob Kampia. And it has served him well. MPP has had success in the last ten years, funding state initiatives all over the country to improve and reform marijuana policy. They are the main financial contributors to the Raich vs. Ashcroft Supreme Court case. Plus, they get taken seriously in congress, and that is no small feat. The marijuana stereotype can get thicker than the smoke in a hot-boxed VW, and since the beginning of marijuana prohibition, weed smokers have been seen as weirdoes, beatniks, and hippies. Kampia himself had hair down to his backside at one point, but sacrificed the traditional pot-activist hairdo when he became serious about taking on Washington. “I’m not actually trying to be a Republican geek, what I’m trying to do is represent the marijuana issue in a respectable way… I don’t think …READ MOREtags: 1 « add a comment
