RAND Withdraws Medical Marijuana Study About Crime Stats
Category: Medical Marijuana | Posted on Wed, October, 12th 2011 by THCFinder

RAND forced to back track with it's study after harassment from the federal government.

RAND Corporation has withdrawn from its website a study that it released late last month about government regulation of medical marijuana facilities and its effect on crime.
 
Titled “Regulating Medical Marijuana Dispensaries: An Overview with Preliminary Evidence of Their Impact on Crime,” the study has been “withdrawn pending further review,” according to the RAND website. 
 
The study, released September 22, argued that crime increases in neighborhoods where medical marijuana dispensaries are shut down, compared to neighborhoods where the facilities are allowed to remain open.
 
A Los Angeles Times blog reported Tuesday that the decision by the Santa Monica-based think tank comes nearly three weeks after the Los Angeles City Attorney’s office criticized the study’s assumptions and counterintuitive conclusions, demanding its immediate retraction.
 
Describing its study as “the first systematic analysis of the claim that marijuana dispensaries are linked to crime,” the study examined crime statistics for a 10-day period before and after June 7, 2010, when Los Angeles ordered the closure of more than 70 percent of the 638 medical marijuana dispensaries in the city at the time, partly because of their presumed connection to crime.
 
The RAND study found that crime increased by an average of 59 percent within three-tenths of a mile of a medical pot dispensary that had been closed, compared to one that was open.

Regulation Confusion Over Medical Marijuana
Category: Medical Marijuana | Posted on Tue, October, 11th 2011 by THCFinder
GOLD HILL, Ore. -- Two Southern Oregon medical marijuana grows are raided by federal agents in a week's time, hauling away hundreds of plants. The raids are raising the issue of how the medical marijuana program is regulated.
 
The Oregon Medical Marijuana Program screens growers and patients to make sure they do not have a criminal background. Growers are allowed to grow six plants per patient, up to four patients. The OMMP registers growers, but does not have agents to see if growers are in compliance.
 
That responsibility falls to law enforcement, but police say without a complaint or suspicion, they don't know where to start looking. Local police can conduct consensual compliance checks if the landowner agrees, but usually can only do this if there is suspicion of illegal activity.
 
James Anderson, whose Gold Hill medical marijuana grow was raided by the DEA two weeks ago, says he has still not been charged with anything and has not been arrested. He says the grow was legal under state law, but says in six years of growing, no one ever knocked on his door to check.
 
In his copy of the federal search warrant, he was given aerial pictures of the grow site, which showed hundreds of plants. Anderson and medical marijuana advocates think federal agents target co-ops of 100 plants or more
 
Drug Enforcement Agents and the U.S. Attorney's office are still giving no information about the raids in Gold Hill and Central Point, only saying they were serving a federal search warrant.

Judge sets Nevada medical marijuana law arguments for November
Category: Medical Marijuana | Posted on Tue, October, 11th 2011 by THCFinder

Will dispensaries finally get a green light to open up in Nevada and start helping medical marijuana patients or will this case shutter any chances of future dispensaries opening up anytime soon?

If you’re keeping track of what’s happening in the legal battles over the validity of Nevada’s marijuana laws, mark your calendar for Nov. 9.
 
“That’s going to be the showdown at the O.K. Corral,” said John Turco, an attorney who hopes to shoot down attempts by Nevada law enforcement to bring his clients, and several others, to trial for running medical marijuana dispensaries in Las Vegas.
 
Specifically, Clark County District Judge Donald Mosley today set Nov. 9 as the date he will hear arguments from the district attorney and from Turco and his law partner, Robert Draskovitch, concerning their motions that the state’s law is vague and the grand jury charges against their clients should be thrown out.
 
Leonard Schwingdorf and Nathan Hamilton operated Sin City Co-op, a medical marijuana dispensary that was raided by state authorities in July as a drug-trafficking organization.
 
The pair were among several people who have been indicted in the last year as a result of law enforcement crackdowns on co-ops that have been formed to provide marijuana for those who have medical cards that say they can possess it.
 
The co-ops, based on similar ones in California, were set up as a way to deal with a constitutional amendment approved by voters in 2000, which allows those who need pot for medical purposes, such as to alleviate pain, to possess it and grow their own in small amounts. However, the law does not provide a way for them to legally obtain it otherwise.
