In December 2007, UN Drug Czar Antonio Maria Costa made a rare appearance before the drug-law reform community to give the keynote address at the biannual conference of the Drug Policy Alliance (DPA) in New Orleans. It appears that we made quite an impression. Speaking in Vienna this past March, Costa commented on his brief appearance with this attack: “I attended the meeting of the DPA in New Orleans last December—1,200 participants, 1,000 lunatics, 200 good people to talk to. The other ones were obviously on drugs.”
Mr. Costa also told The New York Times this past March that pot use poses a greater danger to society than heroin or cocaine.
Calling us crazy would be ironic if it weren’t so insulting. But unlike Mr. Costa, I’ve chosen not to express my thoughts with epithets. Rather, I’ve decided to simply post some of Mr. Costa’s previous statements and let HIGH TIMES readers decide …READ MORE

NORMLizer - THE PUBLIC PRICE TAG
Sat Apr 26, 2008
According to the latest figures from the FBI, 739,000 American citizens were arrested in 2006 for possessing small amounts of pot. Another 91,000 were charged with marijuana-related felonies.
That’s the highest annual total ever recorded—nearly double the number of citizens busted for pot 15 years ago. Those arrested face a multitude of consequences, which are determined primarily by where they live. Most Californians charged with violating possession laws face little more than a small fine. By contrast, getting busted with a pinch of weed in Ohio will cost you your driver’s license for at least six months.
Move to Texas and you’re looking at a criminal record and up to 180 days in jail. If you’re a first-time offender, you may receive court-mandated “drug rehab” (one recent study found that nearly 70 percent of adults in the state’s drug-treatment programs were referred by courts for …READ MORE

Passing of a Medi-Pot Pioneer – Dr. Tod Hiro Mikuriya
Tue May 22, 2007
By Paul Armentano
Dr. Tod Hiro Mikuriya, one of the world's foremost authorities on the therapeutic use of cannabis, died on Sunday after a multi-year battle with cancer. He was 73-years-old.
Dr. Mikuriya spent the better part of the past 40 years investigating the medical utility of pot, beginning with an appointment as the Director for Marijuana Research for the National Institute of Mental Health in 1967. In the late 1960s, he began publishing some of the first 'modern' scientific papers documenting cannabis' extensive medicinal value, including Marijuana in Medicine: Past, Present and Future (California Medicine, 1969) and Historical Aspects of Cannabis Sativa in Western Medicine (The New Physician, 1969). Around this time, he also began archiving dozens of historical texts examining the drug's therapeutic use in Western cultures in the decades prior to its prohibition. He later republished much of this work in his 1972 self-published …READ MOREtags: 13 « add a comment

If you toke in the Big Apple, chances are you’ve had a run-in with one of New York’s ‘finest.’ If you’re African-American or Hispanic, chances are you and the NYPD are on a first-name basis.
That’s the dope from a new study by investigators at the National Development Research Institute (NDRI) - an independent New York City think-tank specializing in substance abuse issues.
The study, entitled “The race/ethnicity disparity in misdemeanor marijuana arrests in New York City,” analyzes NYC marijuana arrest data from 1980 to 2006. Its authors pay particular attention to the startling number of defendants arrested for ‘possessing marijuana in the fifth degree’ (aka smoking pot in public) - a misdemeanor crime that city cops began enforcing en masse under former Mayor Rudy Giuliani’s “Quality of …READ MOREtags: 67 « add a comment

When most Americans think of Flint, Michigan, the first images to come to mind are those memorialized in Michael Moore’s 1989 debut, Roger & Me, which documented the economic decline of the filmmakers’ home town after layoffs ravaged the city in the late 80s. More than 15 years later, Flint may finally have a new image among the American public: one of pot tolerance.
On Tuesday, voters overwhelmingly made Flint (population 125,000) the fifth city in the “Wolverine State” to legalize the possession and use of marijuana as a medicine. In a rare February election, 62 percent of Flint voters said ‘yes’ to Proposal 1, which amends city law so that the possession of cannabis and pot paraphernalia by patients is no longer a criminal offense.
With the law’s passage, Flint joins Ann Arbor, Detroit, Ferndale, and Traverse City – each of which have now voted to shield medi-pot …READ MOREtags: 27 « add a comment

DEA Judge Just Says No To The Feds' Monopoly On Pot Production
Tue Feb 20, 2007
By Paul Armentano
Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) Administrative Law Judge Mary Ellen
Bittner ruled last week that the private production of cannabis for research purposes is "in the public interest." Her ruling affirms that the DEA in 2004 improperly rejected an application from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst to manufacture cannabis for FDA-approved research.
Bittner's decision comes six months after the DEA conducted hearings on the issue. At that time, lawyers for the DEA argued vigorously that granting UMass' application to produce cannabis in a controlled facility would lead to greater use of the drug among the general public.
The University, in association with the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS), initially requested a federal license to cultivate cannabis for FDA-approved research in June of 2001. Thirteen months later, the DEA …READ MOREtags: 45 « add a comment

ELECTION 2006 - Sowing the Seeds of Pot Reform
Fri Sep 15, 2006
By Paul Armentano
While drug law reformers should not view the initiative process as the primary mechanism for enacting substantive legislative reform (that duty still belongs to state legislatures and Congress), there’s little doubt that voter initiatives have been a highly successful way for activists to amend and overturn some of America’s more egregious marijuana policies.
Of the eleven states (Medical Marijuana Programs) that have passed legislation legalizing the physician-recommended use of medicinal cannabis since 1996, eight – Alaska, California, Colorado, Maine, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, and Washington – have done so via voter initiative. In addition, activists at the local and county level have been equally successful in recent years passing numerous pot ‘deprioritization’ laws (such as READ MOREtags: 47 « add a comment

This fall, all pot politics will be local.
For the second straight year, citizens across the country will decide on a number of municipal ballot initiatives to significantly liberalize their local cannabis laws. Following the success of Seattle's 2003 deprioritization initiative and last year's multiple victories in Oakland, CA (making marijuana enforcement the city's "lowest priority"); Detroit and Ann Arbor, MI (legalizing the use of medi-pot); Columbia, MO (depenalizing marijuana possession to a fine-only offense and legalizing the use of medicinal cannabis); and throughout Massachusetts (where voters in three state Senate and eight House districts overwhelmingly approved non-binding "public policy questions" calling for substantive pot-law reforms,) local activists in Colorado, Kansas, and Michigan are sponsoring their own efforts to bring sensible pot policies directly to the people.
