http://blogs.reuters.com/great-debate/2009...erican-prisons/ –Bernd Debusmann is a Reuters columnist. The opinions expressed are his own– Are the 305 million people living in the United States the most evil in the world? Is this the reason why the U.S., with 5 percent of the world's population, has 25 percent of the world's prisoners and an incarceration rate five times as high as the rest of the world? Or is it a matter of a criminal justice system that has gone dramatically wrong, swamping the prison system with drug offenders? That rhetorical question, asked on the floor of the U.S. Senate by Virginia Senator Jim Webb, fits into what looks like an accelerating sh…

by Mike Barrington 13.04.2009 http://www.northernadvocate.co.nz/localnew...condsubsection= © APN News & Media Ltd 2008 Cannabis cultivation skills can produce plants like this. Picture/FILE Cannabis cultivation skills which could bring brothers Tim and Dave A'Court jail terms in Whangarei where they lived as teenagers, have made them successful businessmen in Amsterdam. The Kiwiseeds company they set up in the liberal Dutch city five years ago has since won three Cannabis Cups awarded by High Times, a New York-based magazine with an international circulation advocating the drug's legalisation. Tim, 40, and Dave 37, were born in Britain and moved to New …

22/04/09 http://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/artic..._zoLR0g?index=0 Copyright © 2009 AFP KABUL (AFP) — Dishevelled and blind in one eye, the 57-year-old hashish dealer has no fear that police might try to stop the trade he conducts from a petrol station on the edge of the dirty Kabul River. "If you give them 100 afghani (two dollars) and a joint, they would say carry on," said the man who gives his name as Mahtaabudin. "I am not afraid of anyone," he said gruffly, only agreeing to talk after he has lit a cigarette of heady hashish made from cannabis resin which he shares with some of his customers on the station's verandah. He admits to some precautions, s…

A quiet McKinleyville neighborhood was jolted last Sunday night by the echo of three gunshots and the sound of breaking glass, as three suspects in an alleged home invasion robbery frantically drove away from a marijuana grow house. Home-invasion robberies at houses with pot gardens occur with disconcerting regularity in Humboldt County, law enforcement officials say. And the potential for violence in any robbery is high. Within the past six months, at least three people have been shot during suspected grow house robberies in Humboldt County. ”…

BY DAVID CASTELLON • dcastell@visalia.gannett.com • April 16, 2009 http://www.visaliatimesdelta.com/article/2...EWS01/904160332 Last month, Richard Daleman and his lawyer convinced a jury that he was growing marijuana legally to treat his pain problems and not breaking the law. On Wednesday, the 61-year-old man had another victory when Tulare County Superior Court Judge Darryl Ferguson ordered that all the marijuana county sheriff's deputies had confiscated from him Dec. 16 be returned. "They're giving me every gram of it back," said Daleman, who had been arrested and jailed for weeks after deputies searched his home and found processed and unprocessed marijua…

Amyn Dharamshi lost his wallet, he probably thought things couldn't get much worse.

When police opened the wallet, they found, in addition to his ID, a baggie containing 6.1 grams of marijuana and a package of Zig Zag rolling papers. Dharamshi denied the marijuana was his, saying it belonged to his brother, Karim, who had borrowed his wallet for a few days. However, moments after taking a li…
