US Olympic Judo Team Member expelled from Olympics after testing positive for Marijuana

Category: News | Posted on Tue, August, 7th 2012 by THCFinder
American judo fighter Nick Delpopolo was expelled from the Olympic Games after testing positive for marijuana. The Olympian claims he accidentally ate food that was baked with the substance prior to the start of the Summer Games.
 
We'll never know for sure whether Delpopolo is telling the truth or not, but regardless this puts the attention back to the war on drugs yet again. I'm in no way advocating that any Olympic athlete "dope up" or use substances that give him or her an unfair advantage, which of course is questionable anyway when it comes to marijuana; however, it's an opportunity to take a look at the drug war through the eyes of objective reality.
 
The war on drugs has been a colossal failure since its inception during the Nixon administration. The delusional thinking on this is obvious and embarrassing, yet the United States government continues spending billions every year trying to stop American's from getting high. Apparently we're so stupid we need to be saved from ourselves.
 
I find it astonishing that for 236 years Americans were smart enough to change the world through innovation, technology and independent thinking, yet our own government doesn't believe we are smart enough to manage our own lives. Didn't we learn this lesson during prohibition? The 18th Amendment outlawing alcohol was as big a failure as the drug war, the only difference is we repealed prohibition after 12 years.
 
Where is the critical thinking in believing the drug war would be any different? After all, isn't alcohol a liquid drug? Marijuana creates a softer effect than alcohol, yet our jails are full of people who like to use and sell it. The drug war philosophy is a zero-sum equation, which is, who owns our bodies? If you say the United States government owns our bodies, that would give them the right to ban substances that harm us. But I don't think anyone would say the government owns our bodies. So if we own our bodies, shouldn't we have the right to drink, smoke or ingest anything we choose?
 
Make no mistake: the drug war hasn't stopped Americans from doing drugs. You can buy any drug you want in any city in America without knowing anyone by simply approaching a few people. The drug war has made the drug trade so profitable that damn near everyone is in the business. Finding a drug dealer is easier than buying beer at 7/11, and they don't even ask for ID.

Washington's First Marijuana Legalization Commercial

Category: Legalization | Posted on Tue, August, 7th 2012 by THCFinder

The first television ad in support of I-502 which would legalize, tax and regulate marijuana in the state for adults over the age of 21, has just come out in Washington State. The ad is from New Approach Washington, the campaign behind the initiative.

 

The woman in the ad is personally against marijuana, but lists several reasons why it makes more sense to regulate and control the cannabis market. The ad is presumably aimed at women, who, according to polls, favor legalization less than men.

 

In addition to Washington, Oregon and Colorado also have marijuana legalization initiatives on their ballots. Which means it’s possible for legalization to be law in three states by next year.

 

How the federal government would react to that is anyone’s guess; this would also depend on who wins the Presidential election. President Obama might theoretically be willing to back off marijuana in a second term.

 

At least one state has to pass legalization to keep any kind of momentum in the movement. All three passing it would be nothing less than a huge slap in the face of the federal government.

 

Most importantly, adults in these states have a chance at a much greater measure of freedom.
