Feds Subpoenaed San Francisco for Medical Marijuana Records
Category: Medical Marijuana | Posted on Fri, December, 23rd 2011 by THCFinder
It wasn't Tommy gun-toting agents who finally put Prohibition-era bad boy Al Capone behind bars on Alcatraz: it was paper-pushers from the Internal Revenue Service who busted the syphilitic mobster on tax fraud.
 
In this second era of Prohibition, in which non-prescription drugs (other than caffeine, nicotine, salvia, kava, etc.) have been under federal ban since 1970, it has also not been kevlar-clad drug warriors responsible for shuttering three San Francisco medical marijuana dispensaries.
 
It's been the city's own records.
 
Files from the Department of Public Health, which permits the city's two dozen -- and dropping -- cannabis dispensaries, were subpoenaed by United States Attorney for Northern California Melinda Haag and used to ensure the pot clubs were closed, city officials told the Medical Cannabis Task Force.
 
Three San Francisco dispensaries have closed since receiving warning letters from Haag's outpost of Attorney General Eric Holder's Justice Department. A fourth, Sanctuary, received a letter over the Thanksgiving holiday. The feds have now requested information on yet one more dispensary, which means a fifth dispensary will probably close, city officials said.
 
Letters from the Justice Department -- which warned of asset forfeiture as well as prison sentences for dispensary operators and their landlords who failed to shut down within 45 days -- have forced the clubs to close. Those clubs include Medithrive in the Mission District, Mr. Nice Guy on Valencia Street, and Divinity Tree on Geary Street in the Tenderloin. Federal authorities decided that the pot clubs were too close to a school or park, despite the fact they all complied with city law, according to San Francisco records.

Helium is More Dangerous Than Cannabis, Ecstasy and Mephedrone Put Together
Category: News | Posted on Fri, December, 23rd 2011 by THCFinder
This might some as something of a surprise to those who are invested in the war against drugs but the inert gas helium actually causes more deaths each year in the UK than cannabis, ecstasy and mephedrone put together.
 
No, really:
 
According to the ONS data, in 2010 there were more helium deaths than cannabis, ecstasy, mephedrone and GHB related deaths put together. Helium is an inert gas which kills when people use helium to deprive themselves of oxygen. The recent explosion in helium deaths from under two per year until 2008 to 32 last year appears to be due to it’s recent promotion as a form of suicide.
 
It’s worth looking at that whole post to see some of the numbers from the front lines of the drug wars. For example, there are an entire 7 deaths from cannacis (2) and ecstasy/MMDA (5) put together and it really wouldn’t surprise me at all to hear that the authorities themselves, in their war on drugs, have killed more than 7 people over the course of the year.
 
It absolutely wouldn’t surprise me to hear that the war on drugs, through the enforced illegality of the drugs and thus their impurity, kills more than it “saves”.
 
But even if you aren’t quite that liberal (in its proper, English English sense) if the damage being done by the war on drugs is greater than would be done by drugs in peacetime, isn’t it about time we stopped and thought about declaring victory and just let people get on with it?

Say It Ain't So, Steve DeAngelo
Category: News | Posted on Fri, December, 23rd 2011 by THCFinder
I'm disappointed in Steve DeAngelo, who stated at the end of the fourth and final episode of Weed Wars: "I don't believe in legalizing cannabis for recreational use."
 
DeAngelo (left) is the star of Weed Wars, which Discovery has been accused of stealing. Even worse in my mind is his (and his brother Andrew's) blatant hypocrisy.
 
Years before they started Harborside Health Center in Oakland, DeAngelo was a marijuana activist/pot dealer in Washington, DC. In fact, he was arrested for possession shortly before he left DC for the West Coast. 
 
I wouldn't dredge this up if DeAngelo (or Stevie D as he's know in cannabis circles) wasn't such a turncoat.
 
He's made millions selling pot to medical patients in California. His mantra is "cannabis should be used for purposes of wellness." Nice spin. Now let's get back to reality.
 
Just last year DeAngelo proposed a legalization initiative for California. When Richard Lee beat him to it with Prop 19, DeAngelo pulled back and said he'd wait for 2012. Now it appears that he's not in favor of taxing and regulating marijuana for all uses any longer.
