about medical marijuana Massachusetts marijuana laws
Massachusetts does not allow medical marijuana, but the Legislature's public health committee held hearings on a bill this spring that would allow patients with
specified conditions to use marijuana with written certification from a physician or other practitioner licensed to prescribe controlled substances.
Last year, voters approved ballot Question 2, which removed the possibility of jail for simple marijuana possession. Now, possession of an ounce or less is
punishable by only a $100 fine and forfeiture of the marijuana. That ballot initiative did nothing to change the law regarding drug paraphernalia -
such as the machines that vaporize marijuana. This means that vaporizers are "probably'' still illegal, says Michael Cutler, a lawyer.

BREAKING NEWS: Lawmakers Override Governor -- Approve Medical Marijuana Task Force Bill
On Wednesday, July 15, hawaii lawmakers voted 38 to 9 to override Republican Gov. Linda Lingle's veto of Senate Bill 1058,
which calls on a study committee to examine options for providing state-authorized patients with access to medical cannabis.
Senate Bill 1058 establishes a special legislative task force to "report on the policies and procedures for access, distribution,
security, and other relevant issues related to the medical use of cannabis for all the states that currently have a medical cannabis
program." The task force will be comprised of 13 members, including leaders from the Drug Policy Forum of Hawaii,
the West Oahu Hope for a Cure Foundation, Americans for Safe Access, and a medical cannabis patient who is
appointed by the Governor. Under the state's medical marijuana law, which was enacted by the legislature in 2000,
over 3,000 Hawaiians are registered with the state to possess and or cultivate cannabis.
NORML would like to thank those of you who took the time to contact your elected officials and urge their support
for this legislation.

Apples and Oranges? Do American Medicinal Cannabis patients smoke swag? As you all KNOW, those who are legit patients here in California (the state
with the herb loving hypocrite Governor), "mec' 'weed' is just that. It is not medical grade, typically, and is rarely offered as such in the US. BUT, foreign drug
cartels as opposed to domestic drug cartels (AMA,CVS,RJ Reynolds, et al), not to be confused
with prison led US street gangs, will continue to infiltrate the medical cannabis world, and make headway,
if the current war on patients is allowed to continue unabated. We need safe access to domestic medical grade, now. Nothing short of
this will
suffice. In your discussions with non herb knowledgeable folks, inform them of the difference between 'mec' and medical herb. This is just a starting point for dialog. Redirect their attention to US patients, not allowing them
to essentially change the subject to 'cartels'. Apples and Oranges... Former Mexican official urges legalizing marijuana (CNN) --
The United States and Mexico should both legalize marijuana in an attempt to break the power of the Mexican drug cartels and
end the spiraling violence south of the border, a former Mexican foreign minister said Tuesday. Jorge Castaneda, in an
interview with CNN's Christiane Amanpour, said marijuana "should be legalized in both countries," and said it is
ridiculous for Mexico to try to stop marijuana from entering the United States when it's legally sold for medical purposes
in California. "The Drug Enforcement Administration says that 60 percent of the Mexican (drug) cartels' profits
come from marijuana. If we start with that, it's a big chunk," he added. "We can't do everything overnight
... and we can't do it in Mexico if the U.S. doesn't do it at the same time."... 2010-02-01 Dwarf strains http://www.daybrown.org outlines my ongoing medical
marijuana test case in Van Buren County AR.
But part of my defense is that the new
dwarf strains are so small, the
chopper had to get down to treetop level to see it, and as seen in the
crime scene
photos taken at my place, blew all the leaves down off the
tree that was over my medical mj pot patch.
This
is a footprint on the property before a search warrant is
granted. It is also a risk to all landowners, that pot may
be grown on
their land without their being aware of it until the cops show up to
bust them and seize the property.
According to the asset seizure law,
the landowner hasta prove he didnt grow it or know it was there.
If you
make landowners aware of the risk to their property rights, the
whole system will quickly fall apart. Even if they do
keep their land,
they still need to hire a lawyer to defend the case in court. Which is
what the drugwar has always
been about. Making money for lawyers.

2010-01-12: [UPDATE 3!!! The New Jersey State Assembly and Senate have approved the “New Jersey
Compassionate Use Medical Marijuana Act" (A804/S119). Governor Jon Corzine
is expected to sign the legislation into
law this week. The measure
is expected to take effect in six months, at which time New Jersey will
become the 14th state in the nation to legalize medical marijuana. Major thanks
go out to Ken Wolski and Jim Miller of Coalition for Medical Marijuana
-- New Jersey, and to NORML New Jersey's Chris Goldstein. Without their efforts it is unlikely that this victory would be upon us today.] Five activists filed a ballot initiative
Monday that would legalize all adult marijuana possession, manufacturing and sales under Washington state law — one of the most sweeping efforts at marijuana reform playing out around the country this year. Its sponsors include two Seattle lawyers and the director of Seattle’s
annual Hempfest. They call themselves Sensible
Washington, and say that in a time of dire budget woes, the state’s government should stop spending money on police, court and jail costs for people who use or produce marijuana. http://abcnews.go.com/Business/wireStory?id=9539821 Medical Marijuana information related to New Jersey's Compassionate Use Act.

THOUGHTS ON CANNABIS "How many murders, suicides, robberies, criminal assaults, holdups,
burglaries and deeds of maniacal insanity it causes each year, especially among the young, can only be conjectured...No one
knows, when he places a marijuana cigarette to his lips, whether he will become a joyous reveller in a musical heaven, a mad
insensate, a calm philosopher, or a murderer..." HARRY J ANSLINGER Commissioner of the US Bureau of Narcotics 1930-1962
_________________________________________________________________ This report from the New York Times tells readers about the death of Peter McWilliams.
The feds said he was a “drug dealer.” McWilliams also wanted to tell his story to a jury, but pled guilty
when the judge told him he would not be allowed to inform the jury of his medical condition. Excerpt:
“At his death, Mr. McWilliams was waiting to be sentenced in federal court after being convicted of having conspired
to possess, manufacture and sell marijuana…. They pleaded guilty to the charge last year after United States
District Judge George H. King ruled that they could not use California’s medical marijuana initiative, Proposition 215,
as a defense, or even tell the jury of the initiative’s existence and their own medical conditions.”
The late William F. Buckley wrote about McWilliams’ case here. this excerpt from the Chronicle Blog by Scott Morgan on Tue, 10/27/2009 - 2:29am is invaluable in clearing the air in this debate. Please
take this up with your non-herb-loving friends and family and have real discussions based upon truth and compassion. This
is the only way we will prevail. Peter deserves as much from you all. _____________________________________________________________________________________ 2009-11-26 Help us Hit 50!28

Help us reach our next goal: getting 50 Members of Congress
to cosponsor the bill. Please write a letter to your U.S. Representative. Urge him or her to "cosponsor HR
3939, the Truth in Trials Act." Tell your Member of Congress
that medical marijuana patients should be able to tell a federal court that they were following state law.

Washington, DC 20515 One in four Americans now lives in a state with laws governing medical marijuana.
Unfortunately, law-abiding citizens can still be prosecuted on federal marijuana-related charges.
Even with
the Obama Administration’s new guidelines, federal prosecutors can still block defendants from showing that they were
in compliance with state law.
The “Truth in Trials” Act, H.R. 3939, would end this injustice by ensuring
that federal defendants could present evidence showing that they were following state law. Introduced by US Representative
Sam Farr, this important legislation would give law-abiding citizens the ability to defend themselves in federal court.
Urge your Member of Congress to cosponsor "Truth in Trials" today. WAGE
