NJ official says rules are not hostile
The New Jersey official behind proposed medical marijuana regulations says she is not trying making the rules ‘hostile’ and restricting access to patients. Well she is just doing the opposite of what she says considering. Patients have to have seen a doctor for at least a year who will write that all other medication has not worked in order to get their card to obtain the marijuana. Also growers and dispensaries will have to have strict access and background checks, plus they may deny you for whatever reason.

Mexican Cartels are fine with Legal Marijuana
California’s vote for proposition 19 is coming up in November, which would legalize possession and sale of small amounts of marijuana. Free enterprise advocates say the Mexican drug cartels would barely notice if the marijuana was legal. The Rand Corp has studied the issue closely and said that Prop 19 would erase no more than 2% to 4% of the revenues that the big Mexican Cartels generate. They say it’s because they would still have the rest of the country to sell their convenient brown brick of weed.

CT Police arrest three on Cannabis Charges
On Saturday night two individuals were arrested in a parking lot for smoking marijuana. Cathie Petula, 60, of Ossining, NY, and James Zappolo, 52, of North Salem, NY, were both arrested on charges of marijuana possession at the Ridgefield Playhouse in CT. it was around 7:50 p.m., just before the start of a concert at the Playhouse featuring a band called Foghat.
I was amazed to see they are arresting older individuals who just want to listen to some good music in a good mood w/ a good high. There were probably people causing violence and instead police have nothing better to do with their time then to arrest some non-violent offenders.
