Sounds kinda like a joke but it's all too true.Having a reference from a neurosurgeon counts for nothing in a Province so afraid of the word drug that they will probably try to wiki it out of existenc
Meanwhile stoners continued their slow, shuffling march to social acceptance. Massachusetts voters decided to downgrade possession of less than an ounce of cannabis to an infraction, punishable by a mere $100 fine. Michigan legalised medicinal marijuana.
Grow up. This isnât a joke, not anymore. In Massachusetts, voters overwhelming supported reforming harsh marijuana laws that ruin lives. Itâs not about getting stoned. Itâs about getting an education and getting a job.
In Michigan, voters overwhelmingly agreed that itâs wrong to arrest seriously ill patients for using medical marijuana on the advice of their doctors. What the hell does that have to do with being a "stoner"? Seriously, Iâd like to know. This isnât journalism, itâs childish name-calling.
If anyone remains confused about what marijuana policy reform really is, this ought to answer your questions:
Further evidence that the Mexican drug war is making progressâ¦in the exact wrong direction:
MONTERREY, Mexico, Nov 11 (Reuters) - Companies in Mexico are scrapping plans to float shares on the stock exchange for fear of raising their profile amid a brutal drug war and a surge in kidnappings, the bourse president said on Tuesday.
Stock exchange President Guillermo Prieto said that aside from market volatility in the past two months due to the global financial crisis, crime was a major issue for firms thinking about initial public offerings (IPOs). ⦠Going public to raise funds for expansion requires far greater company disclosure and a higher public profile for company executives who go on roadshows to attract investors.
This is a whole new level of economic disruption, as the drug war begins to chip away at financial institutions. If this kind of thing continues, thereâs no limit to how far-reaching the damage could become.
Violence and corruption are just the first symptoms of the disease of drug prohibition. If left untreated, the sickness spreads throughout every social institution, weakening anything it touches.
