Copenhagen Votes to Legalize It
Category: Legalization | Posted on Mon, November, 21st 2011 by THCFinder
Now we know why the Botwin family on Weeds spent three years in Copenhagen. The city council voted Thursday to legalize marijuana in the Danish capitol. "We don't want an Amsterdam model," says Mikkel Warming. "We're thinking of perhaps 30 to 40 public sales houses. Who is it better for youngsters to buy marijuana from? A drug pusher, who wants them to use more, who wants them to buy hard drugs, or a civil servant?"
Warming added: "We want a way to make it legal to import or grow marijuana."
The council voted 39-9 to develop a plan of action. The proposal would have to be approved by the Danish Parliament.
Marijuana is already openly sold on Pusher Street in the city's counterculture hub, Christiania.
Meanwhile, the Dutch government has announced its plans to bar tourists from the country's popular coffeeshops. If this is enacted, especially in Amsterdam, and Denmark allows legalization, global stoners will have a new favorite pot-travel destination.

Officer Claims Arizona Fired Him Illegally
Category: News | Posted on Mon, November, 21st 2011 by THCFinder
PHOENIX (CN) - A probation officer claims Arizona and Mohave County fired him illegally, to retaliate for his signing a letter in support of a California ballot measure to decriminalize marijuana. Joe Miller, who lives in Needles, Calif., was one of 32 law enforcement officers and retired officers who signed the letter.
Miller signed the letter, "Law Enforcers Say Control and Tax Cannabis to Protect Public Safety," in June 2010.
The letter, from the group Law Enforcement Against Prohibition, or LEAP, endorsed California's Proposition 19, a November ballot measure that would have allowed adults to grow and possess small amounts of marijuana. (It lost, 46.5% to 53.5%.)
LEAP released the letter in September, and Miller's boss, defendant Friend Walker, Mohave County's chief probation officer, found out in November that Miller had signed it.
Miller was fired in December. "The Notice of Dismissal states, among other things, that Mr. Miller 'fail[ed]to maintain neutrality in action and appearance when [he] gave permission to the Law Enforcement Against Prohibition (LEAP) organization to include [his] job title and department "Deputy Probation Officer, Mohave County Probation Department" with [his] endorsement of a California ballot proposition posted on-line [sic] on September 13, 2010," according to the complaint. (Brackets in complaint.)
Miller, 54, who is represented by the ACLU, said in a statement: "I was terminated not because my service was inadequate, but because my views on drug policy didn't align with those of Mohave County or my superiors in the Probation Department. As law enforcement agents and public servants, we swear to uphold the Constitution and it's only fair for our government to respect our First Amendment rights as well."
Mohave County, the fifth-largest county in the United State (13,470 square miles) is in northwest Arizona, on the California border. Its seat is Kingman.
Miller seeks compensatory and punitive damages for constitutional violations, wrongful firing, tortious interference with contract, and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
He is represented by Daniel Bonnett with Martin & Bonnett and Daniel Pochoda with the ACLU of Arizona.

Man Sues Over Rejection Of NE420 License Plate
Category: News | Posted on Mon, November, 21st 2011 by THCFinder
LINCOLN, Neb. -- A southwestern Nebraska attorney and advocate for legalizing marijuana is suing the state Department of Motor Vehicles after he was denied a personalized license plate that state officials say would promote illegal drug use.
The Nebraska chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union filed the federal lawsuit Thursday on behalf of Frank Shoemaker, of Holbrook, saying the state violated Shoemaker's constitutionally protected right to free speech.
The lawsuit says Shoemaker had applied earlier this year for a state license plate that read "NE420." The term "420" is insider shorthand for cannabis consumption.
The motor vehicle agency rejected Shoemaker's application, saying the number 420 is "associated with a date and time for people to gather and smoke marijuana/cannabis."
The lawsuit seeks to have the department's rejection declared unconstitutional.
