Posted on by

“A couple in Coloma, Michigan was arrested Wednesday and charged in connection to a marijuana growing operation authorities claim they found in the rear of their computer repair business, located directly across the street from the town’s city hall.  In all, police said they pulled 206 marijuana plants out of the building. The couple, 66-year-old Dennis Dickson and 57-year-old Emily Jacobs, were arrested Wednesday afternoon following an investigation by the Berrien County Sheriff’s Office and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Authorities said the total value of the grow was roughly $206,000.”

Strong smell of marijuana reported inside Colorado Capitol

Posted on by

“A strong smell of marijuana was reported inside the Colorado Capitol Wednesday morning.  The entire Senate chamber smelled like marijuana, said Doug Schepman, communications director for the Senate Democrats.  ‘It wasn’t like a car just passing by and catching a whiff,’ said Schepman. ‘It was bad.’  Senate President John Morse cracked up fellow lawmakers during the session by asking:  ‘Do you smell marijuana in here, or is it just me?’  On the recording of the morning’s proceedings, Morse can be heard asking, ‘If the Sergeants would please douse all the doobies in the area.’  There’s still no word on the source of the smell.”

Task force: Tourists welcome to get stoned in Colorado

Posted on by

“The task force agreed that tourists should be sold smaller amounts than residents, and only Colorado residents who’ve lived in the state two or more years should be allowed to sell marijuana at retail. Retail locations would also be required to sell only what they grow.  Additionally, starting in 2014 only licensed medical marijuana dispensary owners will be allowed to apply for recreational sales permits, but the application process would open to all Colorado residents starting in 2015.”

Appeals Court Ruling Throws Wrench in Maritime Drug Prosecutions

Posted on by

“Four foreign nationals were arrested after their fishing vessel with 760 kilos of cocaine was seized off the Panamanian coast three years ago. The ruling reversing their convictions has called into question current US war drug tactics on foreign territory and territorial waters.  If upheld, the decision in US v. Bellaizac-Hurtado, could prevent the US from prosecuting suspected smugglers caught within the 12-mile territorial waters of South and Central America countries, and it may hinder US authorities from entering the 12-mile limit themselves while carrying out anti-narcotics operations. That would wreak havoc with US drug enforcement offensives.”

The Will Of The People Doesn’t Mean Jack To Drug Warriors

“The Associated Press reports that eight former DEA administrators are urging the Obama administration to sue Washington and Colorado over their voter-approved moves toward  marijuana legalization.  Hopefully the administration will choose to ignore this thuggish recommendation.  But if they do decide to litigate, this will be another sign that the feds don’t give a damn about the  will of the people.  Liberty-loving Americans should respond to this federal intrusion with a massive wave of civil disobedience.  Let’s publicize the efforts of these authoritarians to undermine the voters of Colorado and Washington.”

Euro Minister Doesn’t Rule Out Taxes on Bank Deposits Beyond Cyprus

Posted on by

EPJ13

“Anxious depositors drained cash from automated teller machines in Cyprus over the weekend, hours after European officials in Brussels required that part of a new €10 billion bailout be paid for directly from the bank accounts of ordinary savers. The decision — a first in the three-year-old European financial crisis — raised questions about whether bank runs could be set off elsewhere in the euro zone. Jeroen Dijsselbloem, the president of the group of euro area ministers, declined Saturday to rule out taxes on depositors in countries beyond Cyprus, although he said such a measure was not currently being considered.”

What to Keep in Mind about the Tax on Cyprus Bank Deposits

Posted on by

EPJ13

“Those who lent money to Cyprus’s banks by buying their debt rather than by depositing money at the banks, will suffer no losses at all. Those who lent money to the insolvent Cypriot government, will be paid off at 100 cents on the euro. In other words, the banksters are protected. Only depositors with banks will suffer losses in this International Monetary Fund engineered plan. It’s as blatant example of who the IMF really works for. This is not the liquidation of a bad system. It is an attempt to protect the crony system and the banksters who are part of it. It is a tax on the ‘little people’ who keep their funds in the form of deposits, rather than bonds.”

Totally Disinterested Drug Warriors Demand That Holder Stop Marijuana Legalization Before It’s Too Late

Posted on by

“In an open letter released today, eight former heads of the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), four former drug czars, and assorted anti-drug groups urge the Senate Judiciary Committee, which is scheduled to hear testimony from Attorney General Eric Holder tomorrow, to grill him about why he is not stopping Colorado and Washington from legalizing marijuana.”
