The South’s Gonna Do It Again

Maybe us dumb ole southern rednecks are smarter than you think we are. Mississippi, long ago, decriminalized mara-gee-wana. Many people do not know this. I even pointed out what a tremendous draw it would be for Mississippi tourism, making the state the Number One Tourist destination in America. I also pointed out a Hero in Mississippi who wanted to legalize medical marijuana in Mississippi… State Senator Deborah Dawkins. Which is fitting because Ole Miss actually grows what little marijuana is authorized by the Federal Government for years.

I wrote:

It appears that one redneck Mississippi woman, State Senator Deborah Dawkins, understands what ole Jefferson meant, and wants medical marijuana legalized in Mississippi. She is a hero, since there aren’t many, if any (in Mississippi), ready to address the obvious. Any sane person knows. Any person that has a relative who hurts knows. The only people that don’t know are the ignorant or the ones that profit from its illegality. There are no more in-betweens.

Who Profits From Prohibition?

I recently shared with you just who is truly against the legalization  initiatives. They pour money in to fight it… and guess what? They are the very ones that PROFIT the most from its continued illegality. Imagine that.

1.) Police Unions: Police departments across the country have become dependent on federal drug war grants to finance their budget. In March, we published a story revealing that a police union lobbyist in California coordinated the effort to defeat Prop 19, a ballot measure in 2010 to legalize marijuana, while helping his police department clients collect tens of millions in federal marijuana-eradication grants. And it’s not just in California. Federal lobbying disclosures show that other police union lobbyists have pushed for stiffer penalties for marijuana-related crimes nationwide.

2.) Private Prisons Corporations: Private prison corporations make millions by incarcerating people who have been imprisoned for drug crimes, including marijuana. As Republic Report’s Matt Stoller noted last year, Corrections Corporation of America, one of the largest for-profit prison companies, revealed in a regulatory filing that continuing the drug war is part in parcel to their business strategy. Prison companies have spent millions bankrolling pro-drug war politicians and have used secretive front groups, like the American Legislative Exchange Council, to pass harsh sentencing requirements for drug crimes.

3.) Alcohol and Beer Companies: Fearing competition for the dollars Americans spend on leisure, alcohol and tobacco interests have lobbied to keep marijuana out of reach. For instance, the California Beer & Beverage Distributors contributed campaign contributions to a committee set up to prevent marijuana from being legalized and taxed.

4.) Pharmaceutical Corporations: Like the sin industries listed above, pharmaceutical interests would like to keep marijuana illegal so American don’t have the option of cheap medical alternatives to their products. Howard Wooldridge, a retired police officer who now lobbies the government to relax marijuana prohibition laws, told Republic Report that next to police unions, the “second biggest opponent on Capitol Hill is big PhRMA” because marijuana can replace “everything from Advil to Vicodin and other expensive pills.”

5.) Prison Guard Unions: Prison guard unions have a vested interest in keeping people behind bars just like for-profit prison companies. In 2008, the California Correctional Peace Officers Association spent a whopping $1 million to defeat a measure that would have “reduced sentences and parole times for nonviolent drug offenders while emphasizing drug treatment over prison.”

I have pointed you to the many law enforcement officials that recognize that the system is rigged AND the Liar-In-Chief that says one thing campaigning, but does another when elected.

But that is nothing new, is it?

A States’ Rights Issue

The Federal Government will force its brutish self over the state’s rights that places like Washington showed recently.

Did you hear the arguments against made in the video, which rely on issues that have nothing to do with the ballot initiatives (no one is suggesting that children will be allowed to partake)? That “sleight-of-hand”, in and of itself, is telling. As a Doctor told me a few years ago, kids have easy access now and suggested that if one wanted to find marijuana for one’s own healing, just ask a teenager.

No matter, when states vote and pass this type of legislation, there is an almost immediate relief that locals feel.

King County (Washington) dropping misdemeanor marijuana cases

The King County Prosecutor’s Office says it’ll immediately dismiss all of its misdemeanor marijuana possession cases because of the passage of I-502, legalizing marijuana possession of one ounce or less.

So, this will likely be a Federal Government versus State’s Rights showdown. GOOD! About time!

And this doesn’t address all the cities that are passing their own laws of decriminalization (as the above video points out), which includes 90+ in Illinois alone.

Who benefits from legalization?

My God! Can you imagine the lives saved, the money saved, the lives unharmed by the Police State, the taxes earned, etc. if they would simply stop feeding their prohibition profiteers? It truly is a no-brainer when one considers all the harm created by prohibition.

I have covered this subject for years now and if you are new to the blog, you might want to take some time reading thru the many posts I have published regarding it. I promise you will learn something.

Other Southern States Initiatives

Arkansas voted on legalizing the Devil Weed for medical purposes and barely lost. In 2007, Eureka Springs took it to the brink of legalization:

In November 2007, Eureka Springs voters passed an ordinance directing police and prosecutors to make possession of less than an ounce of marijuana a low law-enforcement priority. Under Arkansas law, such possession is a Class A misdemeanor, which is punishable by up to a year in jail and a $1,000 fine.

Today’s The Big Day, But I’m Not Holding My Breath

Once again, medical-marijuana advocates are taking to the courts to eliminate the biggest barrier to legal use—the federal law that classifies marijuana as a dangerous drug with no valid medical use.

On Oct. 16, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, the federal appeals court that usually handles cases involving government regulations, will hear oral arguments on Americans for Safe Access v. DEA. It will be the first time in almost 20 years that federal courts have considered the science of medical marijuana, says ASA spokesperson Kris Hermes.

The Useless Drug

Prince Ea addresses Barry about his lies and politician’s protection of corporate control, especially the healthcare sickcare industry:

Reality: The Power of Hemp and It’s Countless Uses

Mercola’s take:

I have to take issue with one statement made in this article…Marijuana is NOT addictive. It has none of the typical dependency or withdrawal reactions in the brain like cocaine, heroin or cigarettes. This is a huge misrepresentation of the drug and one of the greatest reasons why it should be legalized.

Cigarettes are HIGHLY addictive, cause everything from DNA damage to heart disease and 9 different forms of cancer, and yet they’re perfectly legal. This makes no sense, but it’s due largely to misunderstanding and often intentional misdirection and obfuscation of the facts.

Lastly, I should note that it’s also not a “gateway drug”. Many of us experimented with marijuana in college, however, not a one of us had any intention of trying other recreational drugs like cocaine or even LSD. In fact, those kids that were “coke heads” were pretty much ostracized.

In regards to marijuana being addicting, it has no chemical/physical addictions, but it can still be addicting since it does provide “good feelings.” It is easy to escape to those good feelings, like many do with other drugs, activities, and things in life. It is not really fair to label marijuana addicting if other things can be addicting in the same premise. For instance, I know people addicted to all sorts of things: processed foods (though they literally can be addicting ), video games, bad habits, or just any random thing that can promote happiness in a person. Parents should not worry about their kids being addicted to weed, but instead be worried if their children have addictive personalities.

Addictive or gateway drug? No, its an “exit drug”, for it is being used by hardcore meth, coke, heroin addicts get off their real problems by using the MEDICINE that history has always shown it to be, except since Anslinger went on the rampage for Big Money.

There’s been a lot of talk back and forth regarding whether marijuana is or is not (as I asserted) addictive. So here are some studies from both sides of the argument:

So, you may still believe the lies because you feel the government looks out for your best interest, but if its so bad for us, why did our government patent it in 2003?

Marijuana is so bad for us, the USA patented all the good stuff about it in 2003.

Read the patent:

“Abstract:

Cannabinoids have been found to have antioxidant properties, unrelated to NMDA receptor antagonism. This new found property makes cannabinoids useful in the treatment and prophylaxis of wide variety of oxidation associated diseases, such as ischemic, age-related, inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. The cannabinoids are found to have particular application as neuroprotectants, for example in limiting neurological damage following ischemic insults, such as stroke and trauma, or in thetreatment of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease and HIV dementia. …”

Memory Loss?

“Marijuana CAUSES memory loss, so it should never be recommended for “treatment” of Alheimer’s…

Wrong.  See pubs.acs.org/…/mp060066m. (August 9, 2006

Copyright © 2006 American Chemical Society) To quote the abstract:

“Here, we demonstrate that the active component of marijuana, Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), competitively inhibits the enzyme acetylcholinesterase (AChE) as well as prevents AChE-induced amyloid β-peptide (Aβ) aggregation, the key pathological marker of Alzheimer’s disease. Computational modeling of the THC−AChE interaction revealed that THC binds in the peripheral anionic site of AChE, the critical region involved in amyloidgenesis. Compared to currently approved drugs prescribed for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease, THC is a considerably superior inhibitor of Aβ aggregation, and this study provides a previously unrecognized molecular mechanism through which cannabinoid molecules may directly impact the progression of this debilitating disease. “

In reality, the undiagnosed leading causes of Alzheimers are toxic neural metal poisoning and MSG, both of which cause excessive neural damage due to excitotoxicity in the brain neural receptors, which cause the brain to have issues.  B12 in large doses (5000 mcg+) helps counter the effects and the damage and repair those receptors, especially on the MSG side.  That’s also why there is some belief that Alzheimer’s is a form of elderly ASD, because of the metal toxicity commonalities and neural effects in terms of the neural operations (although the physical manifestations vary).

How did/does  it work in religion?

Toking and Driving:

As for the worries of cannabis and driving, although driving under its use is certainly to be discouraged, it does not cause nearly the impairment of alcohol. Our very own federal government reports that driving under the influence of cannabis is generally safer than driving under the influence of alcohol.

– “A low THC dose (100 ug/kg) does not impair driving ability in urban traffic to the same extent as a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.04g%.”

– “Drivers under the influence of marijuana tend to over-estimate the adverse effects of the drug on their driving quality and compensate when they can; e.g. by increasing effort to accomplish the task, increasing headway or slowing down, or a combination of these.”

– “Drivers under the influence of alcohol tend to under-estimate the adverse effects of the drug on their driving quality and do not invest compensatory effort.”

Tommy Chong: I Want To Come Back When I’m Cured

The following CNN interview is wonderful for a variety of reasons. Tommy gets to share his opinion about legalization (with which I agree) and basically set the stage to prove that cannabis oil (Simpson Oil) CAN cure cancer. I believe it as well and hope and pray for his best.

I made a decision long ago that if I am ever diagnosed with cancer, this is the avenue I will take for a cure (along with diet and other supplements). I have witnessed far too many people take the poisons just to end up a miserable husk in a bed, looking forward to dying. In other words, personally, I have never met a person whom took chemo or radiation and survived (much less have any quality of life). However, I have heard of quite a few (and know a couple personally) who are still cancer free when pursuing this protocol, instead of Big Med’s killer technologies

B’Man’s Marijuana Watch: Stroke Out… Better Yet, Eat A Bud

I’ve said this for years:

An apple bud a day keeps the doctor away. Now real doctors (I’m not one,  but I did stay at a Holiday Inn once) are now agreeing with me:

“Eat a bud a day will keep the stroke away,” former heart surgeon, Dr Dave Allen said. “No other medicine made by man can help in this manner.”

We could always just pray about it. No, wait. That was just for fun. Sorry.

But, seriously, is there anyone that believes that the US would bother pursuing patents for the constituents of cannabis, if it weren’t useful (and obviously profitable)?

From the abstract:

“Cannabinoids have been found to have antioxidant properties, unrelated to NMDA receptor antagonism. This new found property makes cannabinoids useful in the treatment and prophylaxis of wide variety of oxidation associated diseases, such as ischemic, age-related, inflammatory and autoimmune diseases.

Please Send All Your Positive Thoughts And Prayers To Lynda

Today, my friend and blogging partner, Lynda, is having surgery for some skin cancers she has been diagnosed with. This is a fine person, who loves and cares about her fellow man. I believe that she deserves any person’s positive thoughts and/or prayers (no matter your religious persuasion). Just knowing you care is extremely important.

I also want to share some links that a visitor called “Don’t Freakout” shared here and found the information extremely enlightening to me (and should be a wonderful resource for the future, should you be faced with any of this).
