SUED TO PREVENT RELIGIOUS AND THERAPEUTIC CANNABIS ARRESTS A Complaint for injunctive relief was filed today in the U.S. District Court for the District of Hawaii against U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft, D.E.A.

Washington -- The Justice Department wants to significantly expand the government's ability to monitor online traffic, proposing that providers of high-speed Internet service be forced to grant easier access for FBI wiretaps and other electronic surveillance, according to documents and government officials. A petition filed this week with the Federal Communications Commission also suggests that consumers be required to foot the bill. Law enforcement agencies have been increasingly concerned that fast-growing telephone service over the Internet could be a way for terrorists and criminals to evade surveillance. But the petition also moves beyond Internet telephony, lea…

By Don Farmer A former policeman who last night admitted on national television that he had smoked cannabis during the time he was an undercover cop was a Wairarapa detective. Greg O’Connor, who is now head of the Police Association, was stationed in Masterton as a Detective Sergeant in the late 1980s and 1990s. He came here on promotion from Wellington when his undercover work had finished, and was involved in high-profile cases like the Martinborough murder of Ian Silby and subsequent arrest of Michael Busch and the arson of police houses and property. On television Mr O’Connor was named by other former policemen seeking compensation for what they had to endure w…

Posted by CN Staff on February 28, 2004 at 09:59:16 PT Letter To The Editor By Michael R. Butz Source: Chicago Tribune Original article. Chicago -- This is in response to "Marijuana is not medicine," by Andrea Barthwell, a deputy director at the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy and a past president of the American Society of Addiction Medicine (Commentary, Feb. 17). Barthwell failed to include some very important truths not only about medicinal marijuana but, more important, the government's determination to keep facts, truth and the ability to make our own health-care decisions from us. Her commentary should not be read in a health-care conte…

‘Pharmacy weed to expensive and of inferior quality’ Source: Haarlems Dagblad By: Monique Verkerk. Haarlem 21-02-2004 The Mediweed that became available in the pharmacies, from September 2003, is too expensive and of an inferior quality. This is being stated by the Foundation for Patients Interests (PMM), coffeeshop owners and Mediweed users. The pharmacy weed is three times more expensive than in coffeeshops and is not refunded by the Health Insurance Companies, except for a few cases. Less than 4 percent of the total number of (medical) cannabis users has been to the pharmacy, since it has been legalised. According to Ger de Zwaan, chairman of the PMM, the results…

After realizing the mistake - the boxes were labeled "PLEASE RUSH, HUMAN TISSUE FOR TRANSPLANT" - a Canadian woman and New York man were arrested trying to make an exchange, according to the Drug Enforcement Administration. The mix-up occurred at the Delta Airlines ticket counter at Buffalo Niagara International Airport, where Tabitha Bracken, 27, of Toronto, was mistakenly given packages from Crolife, an Atlanta medical agency. One contained a pulmonary valve destined for an emergency transplant into a young person in a Hamilton, Ontario hospital. …

BRITISH Prime Minister Tony Blair is facing a furious backlash over plans to introduce random drugs tests in schools. Head teachers and drugs experts condemned them as unworkable, poorly thought out and certain to infuriate parents. Guidelines will be issued next month to help principals bring in urine tests and sniffer dogs to rid their schools of illicit drugs. But principals' organisations warned that few schools, if any, were likely to adopt the idea. One teaching union leader declared herself "horrified", adding: "I cannot see how on Earth it's going to work." There was concern over who would meet bills running into the thousands for urine tests and anger tha…

HEAD teachers in British schools will be given new powers to order pupils to undergo random tests for illegal drugs. Prime Minister Tony Blair told Britain's News of the World: "If heads believe they have a problem in their school then they should be able to do random drug testing." Education authorities would be able to take urine samples from pupils and use sniffer dogs to search school grounds for drugs, according to the newspaper. "Guidance will be given to head teachers next month which is going to give them specifically the power to do random drug testing within their schools," Blair told the tabloid. The plans drew a mixed response from opposition politicia…

AN American assistant principal who was trying to get a student expelled admitted planting marijuana in the boy's locker, police said. Police say Pat Conroy told them he placed the marijuana in the locker at South Haven High School, Michigan, last year because he suspected the boy was a drug dealer and wanted him expelled. The plan failed because a police drug dog did not find the contraband during a school search last year. Conroy, who has been placed on administrative leave, said he "lost his perspective" and had done something "stupid, arrogant and unethical", according to a police report. He told police that he only planted evidence once, according to the report…

A GERMAN high school student today admitted baking a hashish-laced chocolate cake that briefly landed 10 of his teachers in a hospital, and police said his apology likely would spare him being charged with any offence. The 19-year-old, identified only by his first name, Ole, told reporters he had volunteered to spend 10 days working at a local hospital in the northern town of Lueneburg to show his regret over placing the cake outside the school staff room on Thursday. "I created a real mess a few days ago," Ole said after appearing before an assembly of his school's 700 students and 65 teachers. "I would like to apologise." Ten teachers were taken to a hospital aft…

Hello, I am the main administrator of www.atsipusk.lt. www.atsipusk.lt is one of two lithuanian (Lithuania is a small country near the Baltic Sea) websites about cannabis, marihuana, it's culture and employment in all spheres of life. The circumstances took an unfavourable turn, and now, inspired by corrupted news media, the law structures of Lithuania started to make repressions against us. The other webpage (www.legalus.net) has already been forced to shut down. That's why we are asking you to temporarily lend us some webspace (at least 30MB) and, by doing this, help us to survive this uneasy period. Otherwise, the stoners of Lithuania will be left without any source …
