Argentina court ruling would allow personal use of pot (CNN) -- Argentina's Supreme Court ruled Tuesday it is unconstitutional to punish an adult for private use of marijuana as long as it doesn't harm anyone else. The unanimous ruling makes Argentina the second Latin American country in the past four days to allow personal use of a formerly illegal drug. The case in question involved five young men who were arrested for having a few marijuana cigarettes in their pockets. Supreme Court Justice Carlos Fayt, who at one time supported laws that make personal use of marijuana illegal, told the state-run Telam news agency that "reality" changed his mind. Argentina's …

By Stephen Gibbs BBC News, Mexico City Page last updated at 21:26 GMT, Friday, 21 August 2009 22:26 UK http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/8215472.stm © MMIX The Mexican government has enacted a law decriminalising the possession of small amounts of drugs, including cocaine and heroin. Mexican prosecutors say the move does not amount to legalisation. They say it is designed to prevent corrupt police from seeking bribes from small-time drug users, and to encourage addicts to seek treatment. The move comes amid a drug war in Mexico that has claimed more than 11,000 lives in the last three years. Those found in possession of the equivalent of four joint…

Author: JESSE McKINLEY Date: August 21, 2009 Source: The New York Times Copyright: © 2009 The New York Times Company In California Forests, Marijuana Growers Thrive SAN FRANCISCO — Lt. Sonny LeGault and 11 other officers from the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Department woke before dawn one recent morning, hiked three miles through the woods and just missed the apparently hungry men they had hoped to arrest. “They’d been cooking breakfast: there were a couple of quails dressed out, and a soup going,” Lieutenant LeGault said. “But they were gone.” Those the officers had been hunting were workers at one of the scores of remote, highly organized outdoor mar…

Cannabis blunts prostate cancer threat: study Posted Wed Aug 19, 2009 12:01pm AEST Updated Wed Aug 19, 2009 12:00pm AEST Chemicals in cannabis have been found to stop prostate cancer cells from growing in the laboratory, suggesting marijuana-based medicines could one day help fight the disease, scientists said. After working initially with human cancer cell lines, Ines Diaz-Laviada and colleagues from the University of Alcala in Madrid also tested one compound on mice and discovered it produced a significant reduction in tumour growth. Their research, published in the British Journal of Cancer, underlines the growing interest in the medical use of active chemical…

Officers searched Wilma Watts' polytunnel following a tip-off that she was growing drugs. But they were left red-faced when all they found was vegetables. Community council secretary Wilma, 61, said: "They sent two policemen and when they said it was about the polytunnel, I thought, 'Oh, the community police are going to have a polytunnel'. "But then they said, 'It's not about yo…

What is going on in our world when Canadian Church of the Universe Reverends, among others, have their home taken from under them due to proceeds of crime for selling $60.00 worth of cannabis? And when Marc Emery, Canada's Prince of Pot, is given a minimum five year sentence for selling cannabis SEEDS? I remember years ago sitting in court while working, waiting for all of the trials of the day to get under way, wondering just who would lose what that day and who if anyone would go home. I can`t imagine how the good Reverends felt having no home to go to. And what it's like for Marc Emery, who will not be allowed to go home for the next while. Maybe years.... For the …

ANKARA, Turkey -- The gendarmerie destroyed a record 2 billion cannabis plants in eastern Turkey on Monday (August 10th). The drugs were seized last week near the town of Baskale in Van province, near the border with Iran. Several hundred soldiers helped authorities clear the area. The amount seized could have produced around 50 tonnes of hashish, worth an estimated $34m on the street.

It’s true story: these are three talented farmers are perched atop pile of Amsterdam’s finest weed. This big bags of buds are their ticket to early retirement – or jail. It is not paranoia, the Dutch state has unleashed a high tech war against the cannabis industry which has a major impact on growers and consumers alike. AS an result of the Christian government’s cannabis crackdown, coffee shop prices in Amsterdam almost doubled in the past two years. It’s impossible for growers not to be paranoid when the Dutch government has commissioned a company specifically to root out weed plantations. The private firm is called SEON. They have the power to use devices like an elect…

In late March of 2008 I consulted with a San Diego attorney to discus the laws, policies, and procedures to operating a legal (under state law) medical marijuana dispensary.

After filling out my application I was directed to BOE agent Mr. Pagan. Mr. Pagan reviewed my app…
