Source: Register-Guard Drug enforcement officers raided the home and garden of a medical marijuana grower this week and seized two guns and 20 pounds of harvested marijuana, a police spokeswoman said Thursday. The grower, Sharon Place, wasn't home at the time of the raid and has not been charged with any crime. The Oregon Medical Marijuana Act allows a medical marijuana cardholder to grow three mature, or budding plants, and four immature plants at a time. Three ounces of dried marijuana is the legal limit. Place grows medical marijuana for herself, her two teen-age sons and another cardholder. The Interagency Narcotics Enforcement Team searched Place's McKenzie…

I received this from my old school teacher whom we have since became good friends (I guess it's pretty unusual becoming mates with ex-teachers uh? ) The Difference between Focus on Problems and Focus on Solutions: When NASA began the launch of astronauts into space, they found out that the pens wouldn't work at zero gravity (ink won't flow down to the writing surface). In order to solve this problem, they hired Andersen Consulting (Accenture today). It took them one decade and US$12,000,000. They developed a pen that worked at zero gravity, upside down, under water, in practically any surface including crystal and in a temperature range from below freezing to over…

What are the penalties for just having enough weed on you to smoke when it is clear that there isn't enough for supply or dealing? I've heard that they just take it (probably to smoke themselves) and give you an unofficial warning. Can an arsehole cop give you a record for it? Is it safe to smoke in public places, or should I just smoke before going out?

The US administration, meanwhile, refused to criticise Russian special forces for using the gas, which killed 116 of the hostages as well as the hostage takers. "The president abhors the loss of life, but he understands that it is the terrorists" who are responsible for the tragedy, the spokesman for President George W Bush, Ari Fleischer, said. Military officials said the US embassy in Moscow had determined that the gas used by the Russians was some sort of opium deriv…

Court rules the sweet smell of dope smoke isn't probable cause for arrest in Texas........ An friend emailed this media story..... Oct. 24, 2002, 12:19PM Judges throw out odor-based drug bust... By JANET ELLIOTT Copyright 2002 Houston Chronicle Austin Bureau AUSTIN -- Where there's smoke, there may not be fire, the Court of Criminal Appeals concluded Wednesday in ruling that the odor of marijuana didn't give Abilene police officers probable cause to enter a home.

Harrelson -- an outspoken advocate …
