This is crazy:
[quote]In cases involving removal of children, medical marijuana found in the home would seem to be barely distinguishable from other Schedule I substances -- such as heroin or ecstasy.
"CPS handles (cases) the same way regardless of what the drug ... is," said Michael Weston, deputy director of public affairs and outreach programs at the California Department of Social Services. "Everything is weighed in reference to, 'Is this a danger to the child? Is there a potential harm to the child? Is this showing signs of abuse or neglect?'"[/quote]

Just more ways that the war on drugs has done more collateral damage in terms of lost lives and families then marijuana use ever has.

Classifying pot along with hardcore drugs like heroin is just insanity. Glad to see the weed movement in full swing, it's about damn time to reverse this BS.

Interesting take, I would support this kind of research. I continue to hear extremely bad things about the VA hospitals and treatment.

Re: War on Drugs Cant Be Won, According to Global Leaders
 

I find it interesting that in Alaska, 115K people voted to legalize pot, and 116K voted for a Republican Congressman. Really hoping that the Republican base is moving away from some of the old social conservative ethos.

of course it's probably more an age thing:
breakdown from CNN.com
Age: percentage of total vote
YES
NO
18-29: 19%
59%
41%
30-44: 27%
59%
41%
45-64: 41%
49%
51%
65 and older: 13%
40%
60%

"How many people at Wells Fargo are going to go to jail? Zero. But if you smoke marijuana in this country, you get a criminal record..???"

-Bernie Sanders on Twitter this morning.

I don't agree with Bernie on much, but he is spot on here. Wells Fargo can participate in a massive fraud against their own customers as well as stockholders but no one is even charged. But a kid can smoke a freakin joint and be charged with a crime???????

think about it folks, we need to really reform some things

Re: War on Drugs Cant Be Won, According to Global Leaders
 

Losers smoke pot.

Both should be punished.

Here Are The Tiger Woods Arrest Videos:

[url=http://deadspin.com/here-are-the-tiger-woods-arrest-videos-1795706435]deadspin-quote-carrot-aligned-w-bgr-2[/url]

first...I hate seeing Tiger like this. But I really think the video should be a wake up call to folks. This wasn't mixing prescription with alcohol...

Tiger has no clue where he is or what he's doing. He doesn't appear he was out partying somewhere which in a strange way would kinda excuse it. This appears that Tiger may have a problem and Im really pulling for Tiger to work through this.

I have a hard time with the logic that says Weed is illegal vs drugs like these..maybe that would be more effective in back treatment than these heavy drugs.

I agree, prescription drugs are far worse than weed. But unfortunately they are already legal and the companies that make them have so much funding it's easy for them to back legislators who want to keep weed illegal.
