Regardless of whether or not Con Con is a feasible avenue to pursue marijuana legalization in New York, state residents should take a closer look at the process and the campaigns involved.
Convincing the country that cannabis posed such a danger to society that only prohibition could save it was never going to be easy. Remember that, in the years before the peak reefer-madness era of the 1930s, marijuana was generally considered a benign, medically efficacious substance that was widely available in American pharmacies. However, the nation’s nascent drug warriors in the
The rise of the dark web has made it increasingly easy for users to buy illicit drugs, especially weed: Cannabis is the most popular drug on marketplaces like Agora, Evolution and Silk Road 2. While purchasing substances on these marketplaces may be easy thanks to user reviews—in Russia, getting your hands on them can turn into quite a difficult process.
It was just a passing comment. “Police said they think that these people who were involved here were possibly smoking marijuana,” said Shannon Bream on a recent episode of The O’Reilly Factor. Bream was reporting on an attack in Chicago documented in a Facebook Live video. Four individuals are now charged with hate crimes, kidnapping and aggravated battery, among other
New data obtained from public records requests by marijuana.com found large racial disparities in marijuana arrests, even as law enforcement priorities shift. The numbers echo previous findings that decriminalization (and even legalization) do little to combat racial disparities when enforcing cannabis laws. Out of the 25 states where data was collected, New York had the largest racial disparity. Black New Yorkers
Colorado made history when it became the first U.S. state to legalize a recreational cannabis market in 2014. Since then, legal weed has continued to crop up in new markets, and the legalization debate is heating up ahead of November elections. With politicians around the country paying attention to criminal justice reform, the opioid crisis and marijuana tax revenue, we sat
The dark web is changing how people buy illicit drugs. In the past two years, those who bought drugs from dark net markets increased from nearly eight percent to 15 percent, according to the Global Drug Survey. While most people are still buying from street dealers, the global trend toward online cryptomarkets should probably have drug cartels worried. While these
Cannabis seeds will be sown as early as this week in preparation for West Virginia’s first legal cannabis crop—part of an industrial hemp research project at West Virginia University. In 2014—the same year that the federal government passed legislation allowing limited hemp cultivation for research purposes—state lawmakers passed a bill that effectively legalized industrial hemp; before that, those who wished to
Asset forfeiture laws have long been criticized as a way for law enforcement agencies to line their pockets in the absence of due process. Just look at the case of Annette and Dale Shattuck, whose assets were seized even though charges against them were dropped. Years after their initial arrest, the Shattucks are still trying to get their property back. Now, another troubling asset
The Illinois Medical Cannabis Advisory board has once again recommended expanding the state's medical marijuana program, but cautioned that Governor Bruce Rauner would be reluctant to approve its recommendations. The board suggested adding Type 1 diabetes and panic disorder to the state's list of qualifying conditions, along with 10 other ailments, reports the Chicago Tribune. Those other ailments, which include osteoarthritis, PTSD
The Alaska Marijuana Control Board has drafted rules that would allow for on-site consumption of cannabis, reports the Alaska Dispatch News, making Alaska the first and only legal-cannabis state to pursue such a measure. Could tourists soon be heading to the Last Frontier instead of Amsterdam? Under the proposed rules, cannabis dispensaries in Alaska would have to apply for a consumption license,
In July of 2014, the St. Clair County Drug Task Force (DTF) raided the home and business of Annette and Dale Shattuck, a couple who owned a medical marijuana dispensary in Kimball, Michigan. The Shattucks were at their dispensary, DNA Wellness Center, when DTF agents arrested them, the Washington Post reported. Meanwhile, their four young children were playing at home under the
