ASA’s Media Summary for the Week Ending 11/16/07

DOCTORS: Leading Psychiatrists’ Group Endorses Medical Marijuana

The preeminent association of psychiatrists has come out in favor of legal access to medical marijuana. The significance of yet another organization of health professionals endorsing medical use is heightened by a recent report that alleged a link between cannabis use and schizophrenia. Experts have noted that the science behind the study is shaky, and if there were any correlation, the rate of schizophrenia would have increased dramatically with the increased prevalence of cannabis use, which it has not.

FAMM Says: Make crack changes retroactive!

FAMM urges Sentencing Commission to make crack cocaine guideline amendment retroactive

Families Against Mandatory Minimums (FAMM), the nation's leading sentencing reform organization with 13,000 members, today calls on the U.S. Sentencing Commission to make retroactive the crack cocaine guideline amendment that went into effect on November 1. FAMM has spearheaded the effort to make the crack cocaine guideline change apply to people already in prison, helping generate over 30,000 letters to the Sentencing Commission in support of retroactivity.

On November 13, FAMM members from across the country will attend the Commission's public hearing on retroactivity in Washington, D.C., bearing photographs of their incarcerated loved ones. FAMM president Julie Stewart will also testify at the hearing at 3:30 p.m. "Retroactivity of the crack guideline will not only affect the lives of nearly 20,000 individuals in prison but that of thousands more - mothers, fathers, daughters and sons - who anxiously wait for them to return home." said Stewart.  Click here to read Stewart's testimony to the Commission. 

Since 1995, the U.S. Sentencing Commission has repeatedly advised Congress that there is no rational, scientific basis for the 100-to-1 ratio between crack and powder cocaine sentences. The Commission has also identified the disparity as the "single most important" factor in longer sentences for African Americans compared to other racial groups. The criminal law committee of the Judicial Conference of the United States, which represents the federal judges who would administer the application of the amendment to people in prison, has written the Commission in favor of retroactivity. Click here to read the letter.

"Nearly 80 percent of defendants convicted of federal crack cocaine offenses after Nov. 1 now face sentences 16 months shorter on average, thanks to sentencing guideline reforms approved by the U.S. Sentencing Commission," said Julie Stewart, president and founder of Families Against Mandatory Minimums (FAMM). "The Sentencing Commission must now make the change retroactive. If a sentence is sufficient to serve the purposes of punishment for defendants in the future, it is sufficient for those who were sentenced under unjust rules in the past. Clearly, justice should not turn on the date an individual is sentenced."

Many FAMM members, including Lamont and Lawrence Garrison, would benefit if the changes are made retroactive. Arrested just months after graduating from Howard University, Lamont received 19 years and Lawrence received 15 years, respectively, after being accused of conspiring to distribute crack and powder cocaine. Both brothers would receive sentence reductions between three and four years.

However, neither the new guideline nor making it retroactive will impact the statutory 100-to-1 quantity disparity between crack and powder cocaine. "Congress must act to address the mandatory minimums that created the cocaine sentencing disparity in 1986 in order to ensure equal justice for all defendants," said Stewart.

Families Against Mandatory Minimums (FAMM) is the national voice for fair and proportionate sentencing laws. FAMM shines a light on the human face of sentencing, advocate for state and federal sentencing reform, and mobilize thousands of individuals and families whose lives are adversely affected by unjust sentences.

ASA's Medical Marijuana in the News: Week Ending 11/9/07

ASA ACTION: Defending Patients’ Right to Work

The California Supreme Court heard oral arguments this week from ASA Chief Counsel Joe Elford on behalf of patients’ right to use medical marijuana without fear of termination. ASA contends that the voters intended for a patient using medical marijuana should be accorded the same workplace protections as those using other prescription drugs. This case is being closely watched, as it will affect how the state’s employers handle employee drug testing. For a video of the hearing, see www.calchannel.com/MEDIA/1106D.asx

Calif high court considers whether medical pot users can be fired
by Paul Elias, Associated Press
When his new boss at Ragingwire Inc. ordered Gary Ross to take a drug test, the recently hired computer tech had no doubt the results would come back positive for marijuana.

The Clash Between Federal Drug Law and California's "Medical Marijuana" Law
by Vikram David Amar, FindLaw
Two news items during the past couple of weeks in California highlight the complicated legal and political tangle that is American federalism - the relationship between federal and state governments -- today. Both incidents involve the interplay between, on one hand, California's (now decade-old) decision to decriminalize marijuana use for medicinal purposes, and, on the other hand, the continuing illegality under federal law of all marijuana cultivation, possession, distribution and use, for any purpose.

NETHERLANDS: Health Minister Defends Medical Marijuana

Cannabis is available by prescription from Dutch pharmacies, but the Health Ministry would like to see more progress on research into targeted cannabis derivatives. A five-year extension to the government-funded program will ensure patient needs are met while drug development process goes forward.

More research into medical marijuana

Research into the medicinal effects of cannabis should be continued for a further five years, health minister Ab Klink said on Wednesday. The extension means there is a serious chance a medicine with cannabis as a raw material can be developed, a ministry spokesman said.

The Sentencing Project: Disenfranchisement News & Updates - 11/8/07

Florida: Technology Aids State's Long-term Restoration Process State officials met with residents with felony convictions last week in an effort to describe Florida's new voter restoration policy, review cases and alert individuals of their voting status, Florida Today reported. Laptops were set up to review cases on the spot and how-to pamphlets and hotline numbers were distributed. "Florida gets it, and we are doing things differently now," said Janet Keels, of the Florida Parole Commission. In April, the executive clemency board eased the voting restoration process for those with non-violent records. The state is currently deciding rights restoration eligibility for nearly one million residents. National: Disenfranchisement Litigation Efforts Need Reform In an article published in the Journal of Law and Social Change author Daniel M. Katz argues for a new litigation strategy to reform disenfranchisement policy by using the Voting Rights Act (VRA). Katz contends that using the VRA in the context of Article 1, Section 4 of the Constitution provides a new opportunity to challenge current policy, and that "statutes imposing lifetime disenfranchisement on all felons are per se violative of the totality of circumstances test" of the VRA. He also argues that Congress has the "unambiguous constitutional authority to pass a statute which enfranchises felons for the Congressional portion of the election ballot." - - - - - - Help The Sentencing Project continue to bring you news and updates on disenfranchisement!

The LEAP Report 9: LEAP Into Overdrive

[Courtesy of LEAP] 

A note from the editor

Greetings Fellow Reformer-

I hope you’re doing well.  I am, and I’m looking forward to the holiday season- it’s coming up fast!  But first, Election Day is upon us, so get out there and VOTE!!!  There are many important propositions, initiatives and resolutions about drug policy and reform throughout the USA this election year.  There are also many other important measures regarding your hometown’s transit, schools, public services and emergency services.  If you want to change the world and change the drug laws, it starts with the simple act of casting your VOTE!  I myself am a patriot, and I believe most of you are as well.  As patriots, it is our duty to vote.  Just as it is our duty to question our government about the misguided Drug War.  Till next month…

Peace and Love,

Joe Bokan 

Mike Smithson     Speakers Bureau Update

The Fall Classic…as the Colorado Rockies rampaged thru the National League playoffs and the Boston Red Sox pressed on for an eventual World Series title, I pondered the potential impact of these sporting events on our presentations…but it didn’t seem to hamper them much, even when we had presentations at Colorado University and Colorado State University (by Tony Ryan) on nights of World Series games. Good crowds at both: although our culture may be infatuated with sports, it appears that we still want to work on public policy issues, World Series or not. ~smile~

            Ol’ Jack Cole sure doesn’t want to show his years: he went on a few more trips this month, first to the Lone Star State to speak at the University of Texas, and then off to Bangkok, Thailand, where LEAP was invited to the Open Society Institute’s conference, "Policing and Harm Reduction".  47 attendees from 13 countries, and more than half of those people joined LEAP, showing that harm reducers DO want LEAP involved in their efforts. While in Austin, Jack was joined by speakers Dr. Michael Gilbert and Russ Jones, two central Texans who do a lot of presentations in the region. Jack’s trip was sponsored by the Dean Jack Otis Social Policy Lecture Fund, and we were impressed with the luncheon our hosts assembled. Guests included a local DEA agent, the Travis County Sheriff and the Austin Police Chief.   

            Peter Christ was invited to speak to several classes at Buffalo State College and the University of Buffalo. A day before he left home to do the presentations, we received a call from Hilbert College, and they wanted to get in on the trip, so at the last minute we were able to put Peter into two classes over there, too. We received a nice honorarium, which helped cover the costs for the trip.

            New speaker Bill Weiland jumped into the fray with a presentation at America’s second-oldest college, the College of William & Mary. Shirin Wartime, the Students for Sensible Drug Policy contact who arranged everything, wrote: “…things went splendidly on Tuesday night. Bill is a great speaker, full of energy and very engaging. I was really happy with the turnout…probably the biggest crowed SSDP has ever drawn. All in all, we had a great event and I feel like we reached a lot of people. I saw a lot of new faces, which is good because we are trying to reach out to a different segment of campus.” Lennice Werth, a central Virginia activist, also added: “Bill is a great speaker. His approach is comfortable and friendly.”    

            On the same day that Bill was at William and Mary, Earl Barnett spoke at Rhodes College in Memphis. Joey Miller, the student coordinator I worked with, arranged for a TV interview and a couple of newspaper interviews. Up in Ontario, Jim Watkins spoke at a coffee house series hosted by a group at William Laurier University, and there will be much more happening in Canada soon; with Prime Minister Harper playing the heavy, we’re getting plenty of requests for interviews and presentations. Jerry Paradis participated in an Oct 28th panel discussion, hosted by Libby Davies, the Member of Parliament for Vancouver-East. Tony Smith and Jerry were interviewed several times this month in conjunction with the Prime Minister’s new policy plans.

            Back in the States, Eric Sterling spoke at a Law Forum at George Washington University in DC, Mike Jones did some more radio work in Taos, NM, and Howard Wooldridge made a trip west to Portland, OR for the 25th Annual Conference of Mothers Against Misuse and Abuse, getting plenty of media coverage. Matt McCally also went to Portland to speak to a Humanist Society meeting. Tim Datig went to Pittsburgh to exhibit for LEAP at the Annual Conference of the International County Managers Association. Over 4000 attendees were there, and many had to blink several times when they passed by our booth. Judge Jim Gray made another trip down to San Diego State University, Tony Ryan told the Illinois Libertarians why they should join LEAP at their annual conference, and…well, hey, I gotta take a breath!   

            Our Volunteer of the Month for October is Mary Jane Borden, a long-time activist who resides in Cleveland, OH. MJ answered our request for help, and traveled to Pittsburgh to assist Datig at the ICMA conference. Conferencing is a major part of our overall effort to promote our position to large groups of people at one time. And, as Mary Jane explained: “Participating with LEAP at the ICMA conference gave me the opportunity to step out of my own comfort zone and speak with scores of people for whom our drug policy reform ideas are uncommon.” Thanks, MJ, for all that you do to help not just LEAP, but the whole reform effort. 

            Moving into November, one might expect our presentations to tail off because of the holidays. Not the case. Expect a very busy month from LEAP before we head off to New Orleans for the Drug Policy Alliance Conference in December.             

We need YOUR help to continue doing all that we do.

If you aren’t already, please consider volunteering your time or donating to LEAP. Together we can End Prohibition Now!

ASA IN THE NEWS: Drew Carey Video Features ASA Executive Director

In addition to speaking with a Los Angeles police officer and a Vietnam veteran who uses medical cannabis, comedian, actor and now game-show-host Drew Carey interviews ASA Executive Director Steph Sherer, who tells Carey how federal raids on medical cannabis collectives in the San Francisco Bay Area led to the founding of Americans for Safe Access.

by Sandy Cohen, Associated Press
Bob Barker famously closed each episode of "The Price Is Right" with a pitch to spay and neuter pets. His successor is taking a stand on a more controversial subject: marijuana. Drew Carey won't tout toking up on "Price," but he defends the use of medical marijuana in a video posted online Thursday on Reason.tv.

"I think it's clear by now that the federal government needs to reclassify marijuana. People who need it should be able to get it -- safely and easily," says The Price Is Right and Power of 10 host Drew Carey in a new Reason.tv video examining medical marijuana and the war on drugs.

FEDERAL: Hayward DEA Raid Leads to Arrests

DEA spokespeople have made much of the revenues they claim a Hayward medical cannabis collective enjoyed. They fail to note that the reason for an increase in revenue has been the systematic closing of the other dispensaries in the area, forcing the county’s many patients to one location. The increased revenue reflects an increased volume of patients more than profiteering. ASA's rapid response program again meant that the media was alerted immediately, helping ensure full coverage, and patients and activists were notified by text messages and emails so they could protest at the main dispensary location.
