European Parliament November 1997

Fact: the European Union expanded after November 1997.



European Parliament Press Release from 5 Nov. 1997 from archived NORML Canada website. (Note the date which is the same as originally received in 1997 by me.)

President Bill Clinton's call for marijuana "decriminalization" Dec. 7th, 2000.

Euro-parliament press release 4th of Nov. 1997. (Note the date.)

This website of incredible chronology of major events, gives the EU Parliament date as Nov. 5, 1997. (This site has very little from the U.S., though.)









Why did the European Parliament use the word "legalisation" instead of "decriminalisation"?

Most any first time visitor to a Dutch cannabis/hashish coffee shop, if asked their impression, would probably say, "Hey, hash & pot're legal in here". I've heard that exact statement probably everytime I have ever visited Amsterdam. No one has ever said initially, "Hey, hash and pot are 'decrimed.' in this place!" No one uses that word in casual conversation. It isn't natural in conversation. It's a twisted word, really.

To officially refer to their hashish/marijuana cafe situation, etc., the Dutch always use the term, "semi-legal". That's also twisted, but the twisting is coming from many points outside of the Netherlands.

The overall impression in Holland, though, is that of legal hash and weed, regardless of these subtle distinctions.

Reminder of DEATH Wish on Large Marijuana Producers from U.S. Congress:





This isn't a Grateful Dead symbol. There is a subtle difference.
This is the real thing itself, not an album cover.

Odd how this doesn't "fit" all of a sudden. Everybody is optimistic. Then I notice this odd death penalty law from another era. The current U.S. law concerning large marijuana producers, seems a bit "out of place", and inappropriate. Especially to the Obama administration. I offer this item up without fully understanding just why we have a death penalty for pot producers. Odd. Strange. Inappropriate. Wierd. Out of place. Insulting. From another era, perhaps.

From the NORML.org website, May 5, 2009:

The sentence of death can be carried out on a defendant who has been found guilty of manufacturing, importing or distributing a controlled substance if the act was committed as part of a continuing criminal enterprise - but only if the defendant is (1) the principal administrator, organizer, or leader of the enterprise or is one of several such principal administrators, organizers, or leaders, and (2) the quantity of the controlled substance is 60,000 kilograms or more of a mixture or substance containing a detectable amount of marijuana, or 60,000 or more marijuana plants, or the if the enterprise received more than $20 million in gross receipts during any 12-month period of its existence.

Actually, there was a DEA agent back in 1985 who was murdered in Mexico. Maybe that's it. I googled, "dea agent murdered mexico", and "Enrique Camerana" came up. That was also in the book I keep mentioning, over and over again.


Enrique Camarena was murdered in Mexico.


The fact that cops and BATF agents were killed by the bootleggers during the 1920's, didn't stop F.D.R. from ending alcohol prohibition. Enough is enough for an ineffective system.

There are many decrim. places around the U.S., but there are also numerous definitions of what the word means. The voters of Oakland voted in favor of legalizing marijuana a few years ago, but only medical marijuana gets any press.

In early November 2005, the voters of Denver, Colorado, voted "YES" to remove the city's marijuana law, i.e., to make marijuana legal in Denver, was their choice. By 2007, the voters of Denver passed a "Lowest Law Enforcement Priority" initiative that gave the 2005 law change some extra teeth after city officials began using the Colorado state law against those arrested in Denver for pot. (In 2006, Colorado voters did not legalize marijuana at the state level.) In 2009, it is expected that Breckenridge, Colorado will legalize marijuana. Summit County, along with other counties in Colorado, voted overwhelmingly in favor of legal marijuana in 2006.

Back in 1975, the Alaska Supreme Court ruled that marijuana was legal there under certain conditions, under state law. This has been upheld in recent cases, but it's still up in the air.

YOUR ANCESTORS WERE POT-HEADS WHETHER THEY KNEW IT OR NOT.
Lack of full scientific knowledge about marijuana chemistry and its active ingredients
was probably a factor in its loosing popularity among doctors around 1900 or so
when opiates and other very strong pain killers became popular. Recreational pot & hashish
usage was becoming popular in New York City around 1900, though, and is mentioned by prominent
feminist anti-alcohol activists as a mostly harmless substitute for addicting liquor and beer.
The general public mostly did not know in 1900 that reefer, marijuana, hashish,, and cannabis sativa, were the same thing.

By the late 1930's, the controversy over "marijuana" or "reefer" (but not "cannabis") prompted N.Y.C.
to appoint The Laguardia Committee which exonerated cannabis, as usual. The media,
intimidated by Harry Anslinger, never properly reported the results of this study.

    (29 March '09 stopthedrugwar.org, the Atlantic) Senator Jim Webb Promotes Prison Reform, and legalization or decriminalization at least, for illicit drugs in general.

    Americans in very large numbers are also going to jail here for misuse of legal prescription drugs as well. How many kids even know that sharing of prescriptions is illegal? It is very illegal to share a prescription with another person, no matter what.

    Thus, making any particular illicit drug legal again as medicine will not prevent the mass incarceration of American citizens.

    All this yakking about the 9th or 10th Amendments, and the state by state approach, seems to leave out the 14th Amendment - equal protection under the law, and various other aspects of the supposed ending of slavery. The "ending of slavery" itself means freedom, supposedly.

  • (14 June '09) Latest item from a Moroccan news website. Google translation.

    One good sign from this article is that they mention the area where much hashish obviously comes from - Ketama. Almost every Dutch coffee shop that handles hashish has this type, and the name is always prominent on almost every menu. When the place of origin is missing, that's a bad sign - a sign of shame. If the place of origin is there, it seems to me that this is a sign of pride.

    (8 May '09)Chekib El-Khiari is basically being held hostage by the government.

    He is a Moroccan activist who has been arrested and jailed in Morocco for allegedly insulting the government by basically telling the truth about corruption and violations of human rights, there. The guy isn't a criminal by any measure, but has become stuck in the political cracks of the world drug prohibitionist/bullshit system. This is all about corruption and politics, with prohibition versus anti-prohibition as a sideline. Chekib El-Khiari was simply going to discuss his findings at a couple of European drug policy meetings; however, he was arrested and jailed and did not attend any of the meetings.

    The fact that "decriminalization" (which is also a pseudo-word) somewhere, leads to corruption somewhere else, is the problem here. (A pseudo-word is one that is not in the dictionary, or mentioned as a "non-word". Sometimes, these "things" can become real words, but not always. It might take decades for that to happen, or again, it might just fade away. "Decriminalization" is not in most English language dictionaries around the world, especially the more respected academic type dictionaries where it might be mentioned in passing as an "Americanism".)

    He also discussed legalization and related topics on a Moroccan TV program, early this year.

    Send a letter to the King of Morocco to ask him to release Chekib El-Khiari. America has had unbroken ties with Morocco since George Washington was president. This link is a form letter to do this from www.encod.org. You must print or save this after pasting and copying it into wordpad, etc. Then you must edit it to your situation as NOT being a member of Encod.org (unless you are a member of encod.org), and as being a U.S. citizen living in the U.S. (or wherever you may live), then print it, sign it, then mail it to the various places mentioned at the end of the form letter. Note: if you want "proof of delivery", you will probably have to use FedEx, or some other courier/overnight service which can be very expensive overseas or domestically. Domestic priority mail with proof of delivery and tracking is about $6.00.

    (5 March '09 via google search) The latest from a Moroccan group.


    Chekib El-Khiari

    (20 February) Amnesty International calls for the immediate and unconditional release of human rights defender, Chekib El-Khiari, head of the Association for Human Rights in the Rif (Association du Rif des droits de l'homme) who is in custody of the National Bureau of the Judicial Police of Casablanca since 17 February 2009. Amnesty International believes him to be a prisoner of conscience, solely detained for his anti-corruption statements and his human rights activities.

    El Khiari was scheduled to be part of a meeting with the European Parliament and Encod in Brussels, Belgium, beginning this past March 4th, possibly discussing the legalization of cannabis in the relevant areas. There was an item at www.stopthedrugwar.org which stated that he had also been on a TV special in Morocco discussing the same issues publicly there, last year.













  • ATTENTION! EVEN LEGALIZING MARIJUANA AS MUCH AS ALCOHOL OR TOBACCO ARE LEGAL, DOES NOT REMOVE THE THREAT OF PROBLEMS CAUSED BY VARIOUS CHILD PROTECTIVE AGENCIES. SPEAK RHETORICALLY ABOUT POT USAGE! Be careful not to confess to any "crimes" on blogs or message boards!

    National Advocates for Pregnant Women, section about the drug war and families. That organization is not generally grouped with drug policy reform.

    This section is about pregnancy and pot, and the issue of moms testing positive for pot metabolites in the hospital, having just given birth, and then being arrested and jailed. I could be wrong, but I don't think this practice began until sometime after 1983. Somebody ought to write a book about this. It might be that the Reagan's brought in an extreme "anti-hippie" attitude that is still deeply ingrained in U.S. society.

    State by state: I do NOT have any state by state or other local information about this policy around the U.S., except that I know that it is applied in some areas to all patients in some hospitals, not just moms, or those on welfare or using public housing. Men are also drug tested in many hospitals without their knowledge for routine operations, and there are consequences.

    Why 1983? However, this section here will deal mainly with the mistreatment of moms in the same "drug-war", anti-pot, anti-hippie, context, which I think, might have come out of the State of California during one of their "anti-hippie" wrong-turn eras, perhaps. This is only a theory.

    NOTE: the following item is NOT out of place as it relates to Ronald Reagan's new "anti-hippie" attitude.

    THE REAGAN BANKING SCANDAL
    THAT BURNED CALIFORNIA BIG TIME!

    NOTE: the following item is NOT out of place! Read on.

    FIRST FLAMMABLE BANK OF ISLA VISTA, CALIFORNIA, AND RONALD REAGAN:



    Everyone in California Knows That The Reagans Didn't Like the Hippies or their hair!
    To them, all "hippies" were like Charles Manson, and/or wanted to burn down The First Flammable Bank, etc.
    The First Flammable Bank in Isla Vista, California, was actually burned down by unknowns.
    Note the "1960" typo - should be "1970" which is clear later in that paragraph.
    There's also no mention of the allegation that the SDS BLEW UP the bank. I have heard
    all of my life from everyone that mentioned this crime, until this VERY moment, that it had been BLOWN UP
    BY THE SDS. I'm shocked and disappointed at the inaccuracy of that news rumor.
    I just did a google search for that "blown up" thing, and found a hit - IT MUST HAVE PREVALENTLY BEEN BELIEVED: click here.
    Go down to Feb. 25, 1970 on that page, and you'll see the distortion repeated, but no SDS mention.
    That doesn't mean it's true or not true, just because it's on the internet. Was it burned down or blown up? Does it matter?
    It might affect jurisdiction or police agency responsible. I may have just discovered a Nixon-era "dirty-trick", planted-lie!
    To any normal person, "blowing up", and "burning down", are different things. Why does almost everyone that I met in my entire life, think that it was "blown up"?
    Do a historical news item search about this incident, and you may find that "blown up" was just a theory, perhaps, until the ALLEGED SDS
    instigators were caught and put into JAIL!!! Must've gotten away in this case. Oh, and no evidence of a bomb was ever found. Nor was any attempt
    made to even rob the bank of money. Thus, the local cops could not call the F.B.I. to help them.




    "Hippies" or Alleged SDS Members     Attacking F.F. Bank Property; Isla Vista, California; 25 February 1970.
    Once Nixon was president, long hair was no longer as "cool". Those with short hair could also
    smoke pot, and engage in "hippie crimes". Just kidding about the pot.

    1964-1983 - When "Pot Was Good", or "The Hippie Era." Were your parents part of that wave? Around 1964 to 1983, probably about 80% of American and European young people seriously tried marijuana, and most got stoned, though for various reasons, most weren't so obsessed with it that they kept using it. (Those who didn't feel the effect, or who didn't like the effect, didn't smoke it anymore.) There's a good chance that if you were born during this era, your parents might have used pot at some point prior to your birth, almost as likely as they might have used alcohol or other drugs. There is some evidence that the "hippie era", whatever that means, was actually still going on in various places until much later than 1983, but that was a major turning point year. (I decided to shift the start point to the year that Bob Dylan (Robert Zimmerman) supposedly gave the Beatles' their first taste of marijuana, assuming that's true.)

    1983-Present - When "Pot Was Bad", or "The Anti-Hippie Era." In 1983, President and Nancy Reagan Started the "Just Say No" anti-drug program, which legalizers changed to "Just Say Know" years later. The Reagan Administration, etc., had hated pot to an unnatural degree ever since he had been Governor of California, especially if it were being promoted by left wingers, for some reason. And for some reason, High Times still usually associated it with the "left-wing", anti-bank, anti-capitalism, anti-Vietnam War tradition at that time. During this era, a few really "scientific bad rumors" were started, apparently by the government, that marijuana did horrible things to those who used it. One of these studies supposedly indicated that guys using it would begin to develop female breasts, and other studies supposedly showed that marijuana damaged the brain and/or reproductive system of users.

    In reality according to Jack Herer and other sources, there were tons of studies the government had conducted during the 1970's and early 1980's that indicated marijuana was a miracle drug. Herer states that many of these studies were secretly destroyed by the the Reaganites, although some were saved. Some lost things have been re-verified.

    Another false rumor about CHOICE: This was only toward the middle of the era when the false rumor that Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones had been cured of heroin addiction at a special Swiss clinic that used technology similar to kidney dialysis to purify his blood of the addictive elements. This false rumor was started accidentally by Keith himself in the early 1970's, and was repeated by almost every publication on earth for the next 30 years, still even today, until the current internet era. There are still probably millions out there who believe that specific false accidental rumor in 2009.

    Choice? The real question is whether or not Keith really has choice to quit heroin when and if he wants to, or whether he's really a permanent heroin addict with no real choice. Does rehab. work for those who want it to? If not, this should be commonly broadcast - that hard drugs are called "hard" for valid reasons, and that "soft drugs" are called "soft" for valid reasons.

    The Issue; Pregnant Moms and Pot. NOTE: Loretta Nall of Alabamians for Compassionate Care has told me recently that her group has successfully lobbied the Alabama legislature to delete any such "blood metabolite of marijuana" violation, from Alabama pot law. Loretta and her group deserve huge congratulations for helping to keep moms out of jail in Alabama who might test positive for pot. Contact Loretta for more accurate information about Alabama.

    Reality. But it still may happen in Alabama, regardless. Insurance policy, child protective services policy, pot Law? What difference does it make whether or not it's specifically spelled out in the pot law, private or public health insurance policies, or whether it's just standard child services policy, or whether is blood, hair, or urine testing, or based upon testimony or spies?

    NOTE: I do not believe that there was any such incarceration of women soon after giving birth who had used and been tested for, and found to have used, pot, until after this 1983 new anti-hippie era began. I could be wrong about that, but it seems unlikely to have occurred before that due to the popular belief that "pot is good", or certainly less harmful than alcohol and most legal pharmaceuticals.

    DOWN WITH PROHIBITIONIST NAZI-ISM.


    She'd be living well and happy if she'd fled to European Freedom!

    Some GOVERNMENTS DON'T
    ARREST SMOKER MOMS AFTER GIVING BIRTH.
    SOME governments DO want to slap such women
    around who test positive for marijuana. Some Don't. The slappers
    like to do that just after she gives birth, in many states. This is sick.
    I don't THINK they do this in Europe at all.     (Joep Ommen, Secretariat of
    Encod.org, says they don't do that in Europe.)

    Joep Ommen, Secretariat of encod.org, just told me recently in answer to my question, that in Europe, this does not happen. So this one thing may be the best way to point out the differences for future parents between the U.S. and Europe at this moment in world history. Sadly to say, a Nazi symbol must be marked on the U.S. record in terms of punishment and human rights violations of mothers who may have used pot (or other drugs) during their pregnancies, and then spent time in a U.S. jail, somewhere. The use of brute force to incarcerate a mother who just gave birth, would be considered criminal in Europe, I am sure. Why has our media not pointed this out?

    On a simlar note, Dr. Lester Grinspoon of Harvard is unhappy about the new addition to Massachussetts pot laws that most pot reform groups have not told you about.

    NOTE: Dr. Lester Grinspoon does not approve this law as written. There is a FATAL FLAW in it.

    The initiative reduces the penalty for possession of up to 1 ounce of marijuana to a fine of $100, but it actually establishes a new offense. The sponsors should withdraw it and replace it with a more thoughtfully worded version.

    The new offense is internal possession of marijuana metabolites. Anyone discovered to have any of these metabolites in his (or her) body fluids or hair would be prosecutable.

    Here's something interesting about pot and very young children in relation to cannabis, pregnancy, etc., etc., originally at www.jackherer.com, I think. Do we have the right to stigmatize or otherwise "slander" the children of pot using parents?

    We need a list of states that allow pregnant marijuana-using moms to exist and thrive like all other mothers.

    Medical Marijuana: A Surprising Solution to Severe Morning Sickness, By Erin Hildebrandt, Mothering, Issue 124 May/June 2004. Mom who had 4 out of 5 of her children, using marijuana for all sorts of things, tells it like it is: click here.

    NORML U.S. search of website for "pregnancy" , which should yield some studies.

    NORML needs to have a website page to display research about discerning whether or not marijuana usage by parents harms unborn, or very young, children. Most drug warriors believe that pot is very harmful for everyone near it, especially the unborn or very young. However, that science has not yet reached the savages of Europe, who don't do things that some Americans do to pot using moms. The real problem is being near fast food restaurants, according to this study. (As trans-fats are reduced, this health risk will decline.)

    My attitude was formed by a biker mom and dad. The mom told me she was arrested immediately after giving birth in a hospital somewhere in the U.S. state of Georgia. They put her in jail for 30 days, after labor. Due to that insane and traumatic event, they relocated to Florida. I cannot vouch for Florida in this respect to any degree, but they felt safe in Bay County, Florida from being put into jail for using pot as parents (or as pre-parents). This was in the early 2000's that I heard that story from the parents themselves. (Since then, they may have gotten repressive and extremely strict in that area.) I think all parents, IF POSSIBLE, should know "the rules", the secret or unwritten ones, also.

  • (1 November '08) Having acknowledged the medical effects of smoked marijuana, we should also realize that there is a large segment of the population who have never smoked anything, and will unlikely ever think of trying marijuana. That is just how life is. For that reason, it appears that science and technology can come up with various other ways to consume the active ingredients which produce the desired medical effect. Not all medical effects of cannabis are related to the subjective effect of "being stoned", but some are.

    Dr. Robert Melamede, recently head of the Biology Department at the Univ. of Colorado at Colorado Springs, recent National NORML Director Richard Cowan, and recent California Libertarian Party candidate for Governor of California, Steve Kubby, have formed a company named, Cannabis Science, (OTCBB:cbis) that aims to make and market various cannabis medicines from the natural plant. This has been publicised at www.marijuananews.com.

    The incredible cutting edge medical aspects of cannabis are needed by millions. For those who simply cannot or will not smoke pot, it seems obvious that something else be made available. Marinol, which is expensive, and difficult and dangerous to manufacture, has only pure synthetic THC in it. There are many other things in marijuana that are medically useful, and it would be impossible, probably, to synthesize all of them.

  • (19 October '08) A pot user I know once told me that the most important thing to know about pot for the neophyte, is that it doesn't work at all for some people in terms of "getting stoned". I know another person who has used it for pain relief at times, but who still claims he has never felt "stoned" from it, even once. "Stoned" means "intoxicated" in a way similar to how beer might or might not affect a person. Those who use both beer and pot will know the difference in effect between the two, hopefully.

    This so-called "variability" was one reason marijuana was less used by doctors in the late 1800's and early 1900's who instead began to prefer the miracle "opiates", like "Heroin" (Bayer trademark), which worked as a pain killer all the time for everyone, no matter what (but the opiate addict no longer receives much pain relief). But some effects of pot may not be "felt" anymore than many other medications produce no feeling of "being stoned".

    But we know that beer and many other drugs aren't really like that. Beer may affect you? It always affects a person in some quantity. I've never heard of someone who has never felt the effect of alcohol. One person I met says they smoked pot for the very first time, off and on, for about 2 weeks, and felt absolutely no effect from it. They almost gave up on ever "getting stoned". Then, about 2 or 3 weeks later, they had the opportunity to try it again, and it worked for them for the first time, finally. Since then, it has always worked for that person. In other words, they finally felt some effect, other than having to cough their heads off, from smoking it, and it still works for them 30 years later.

    Imagine a beer advertisement with the caption, "This beer may have no effect upon some drinkers, no matter how much they may drink."

    Nobody I know has ever come up with a theory of why marijuana works for most, but not for all in terms of feeling "stoned". However, many of the medical effects have nothing to do with the "stoned" effect, apparently. But some legitimate medical effects are related to "being and feeling stoned", I'm sure. For some, marijuana is an "herbal" medication because it makes them feel "stoned".

    However, subjectively, the "stoned" effect is not necessarily proportional to how much marijuana a person uses. For some persons, if they smoke too much, soon, they don't feel "stoned" anymore at all.

    It appears, also, that some ailments respond to totally different doses of pot, in the legitimate medical sense. Glaucoma, and other ailments, seem to need a lot of pot; more than most people would smoke just to get high.

    DOWN WITH PROHIBITIONIST NAZI-ISM.


    Based upon DEA and other anti-drug propaganda, the degree of harm caused by marijuana is directly proportional to the amount of THC in it; therefore, the worse thing on planet earth with THC in it, is the legal THC drug called, "marinol" or "dronibinal" according to official government Nazi logic; these are 100% THC. All the "evil" things you have heard about marijuana are most concentrated in these synthetic THC pills.

    Evidence that they are lying is that many politicians recommend these legal pills over much less potent marijuana.

    If the accusations we often hear about pot are true, then pure-THC pills such as Marinol would be causing huge outbreaks of psychotic behavior in those who use them. If the accusations about pot and thc are true, then police would be reporting massive outbreaks of psychotic behavior at the Seattle Hempfest, for example. (It's also true that marijuana potency is probably the highest in the world in Seattle and on America's west coast, even higher than Dutch or Swiss marijuana potency - therefore, there should logically be massive numbers of "psychotic and deluded" users of marijuana out there. Is this the truth?)

According to the greatest marijuana expert of all of history (the Egyptian delegate to the League of Nations 2nd Opium Conference - 1925), there is no known antidote for the short term or long term effects of marijuana that he spoke about in 1925 or so.

  • (10th, 11th August '08 www.drugpolicy.org, www.hightimes.com) Simple Explanation: The Drug War is a Crime Against Humanity. The severity and specific nature of it varies, though, from place to place. As extreme as that sounds, upon careful analysis, anyone could not avoid coming to the same conclusion.

    Hard Hitting Synopsis of why the Drug War is Insane and counterproductive.

    The League of Nation's charter (U.N. is the successor) mentioned "narcotics" and people trafficking as causes for it to come into existence. Without changes in international treaty, how can the "drug war" created from that legal basis change?

    (Click Here) How did marijuana get on the list of "narcotics"? The fact that marijuana is not a narcotic means that we should sue anyone for calling it a narcotic. Calling marijuana a narcotic is making a fraudulent statement. Yet, that is the basis of the war upon marijuana - incorrect usage of the word "narcotic".

    As far as the actual narcotics and dangerous drugs which were always meant to be "controlled substances"; how did they get out of the control of drug stores, and into unregulated alleyways and side-streets of the world?

    Probably, the condemnation of any drug user, no matter what, as an "addict", is the problem due to various treaties, the League of Nations, and the United Nations prohibitionist stance on all drugs and alcohol, forever. Alcohol was intended to be banned permanently, as well, as witness the period 1919-1933 in the U.S. We were just living up to our "anti-drug" tradition from the very late 1900's. There were other prohibitions before that one, and there are still "dry counties" with no alcohol allowed at all. (Actually, you can possess all the alcohol you want in a dry county, but you can't sell it.)

    In the U.S., drug addicts have been condemned since around 1905, apparently. Soon afterwards, those who used alcohol were condemned. The U.S., League of Nations, and United Nations have forever banned all drugs and alcohol from planet earth, in theory. As soon as they can grow up from that prohibitionist insanity, progress can be made.

    QUESTION: WHY DOESN'T THIS WORK IN THE U.S.?

    ANSWER: IN THE U.S., children and parents don't talk openly about such things for many strange legal reasons. The drug war has destroyed the parent-child relationship. In the U.S., many parents feel they must take blood, hair, or urine samples to find out if their children are using drugs. If they just ask, the children are usually afraid to speak openly, if at all. Fear and secrecy rule the U.S. parent-child relationship in terms of drugs. (Don't honor thy father and thy mother. Lie to them.)






  • (30 July '08) Major Initiative on Capital Hill in next months for POT LAW IMPROVEMENT, by Representives Ron Paul, Barney Frank, and others. Here's the CNN Article about it.





  • (29 July '08) Back when marijuana was still legal, around 1925 or 1927, we could say that many of the elements of our modern civilization had already been created such as jazz, the AC electricity system, the automobile, the airplane, the radio, the telegraph, the talking movie, the phonograph, the telephone, the 13th, 14th, and 15th amendments, the washing machine, modern psychology, modern universities, electric cars, solar thermal energy, women's right to vote and run for office, social security insurance in most countries, the Haarlemmermeer polder (Holland), the Brooklyn bridge, modern railroads, banning alcohol production and sales for human consumption, (just kidding), and many other progressive things.

    The idea that civilization will decay if marijuana were legalized is contradicted by all the incredible progress that had already taken place before the cancer called marijuana-prohibition took hold. It appears that marijuana prohibition was a mistake. It does appear that as the U.S. gulag state and the criminal justice system become ever larger, the dollar falls ever further.

    The truth of the matter is that Silicon Valley, and the economy of the western U.S., is populated with many working marijuana users. What would you expect with the Grateful Dead being the "patron saints" of the area? The tech sector of the stock market is, in a sense, often dependent on the brains of pot users. And it's been like that for a long time regardless of stupidity and ignorance about this subject. There does seem to be a rough correlation between high tech industrial areas of the U.S., and liberal pot policies, outside of Silicon Valley as well.

    In contrast, stupidity and ignorance are worth nothing. (This doesn't mean that every working person out west smokes pot, but a lot there do).

    (Note: a handful of American states had prohibited pot before 1937 when the federal government sneakily made it illegal with little or no publicity ahead of this prohibitionist act. In 1925, the League of Nations also sneakily added it to the list of prohibited items.

    Note: members of the Grateful Dead worked directly with digital electronic inventors as early as about 1969 or 1970 in creating new types of guitars, basses, and other musical instruments about 8 or 9 years before the home-computer revolution began. They also had the world's best analog stage sound system for years, mostly built by their own techies.)

  • (12 June '08) HOW TO PLEAD "NOT GUILTY" IN COURT. (For simple possession of pot.... or of being a pot trader.)

    1. Making Pleas to the Police? A suspect (person arrested or charged with a crime) does not make such pleas to the police. Pleading "guilty" or pleading "not guilty" always takes place between the suspect and a judge. That's how it has always been. If a suspect has confessed to the police, it doesn't matter; they can still plead "not guilty", as pleading "not guilty" is part of every American's rights, regardless. Pleading "not guilty" is actually a political right held by everyone charged under U.S. law, regardless. A suspect doesn't need anyone's permission to plead "not guilty".

    2. "Decrim." versus Legalization:

      Question: should those charged under "decrim." also plead not guilty, even if the fine is only $100 or so?

      Answer: under "decrim.", ironically, I would be much more likely to plead "not guilty". For one thing, do you really think they're going to waste court time carrying through with it, and having a jury trial for just a $100 fine? However, in jurisdictions where cash flow from drug money seizures and drug offender fines are a large part of the cash flow for the local government, it is more likely they would have a trial than in the "decrim." areas. Keep all of your American freedoms - plead Not-Guilty no matter what.

    3. Many clients of so-called "better lawyers"; i.e., those who don't buy large flamboyant advertisements, are just as likely to be led by these more conservative lawyers into the "dump of criminality", as the flamboyant ones. It's a huge historical trend with all lawyers who are generally adverse to defending clients in court.

    4. When you feel compelled to plead guilty, you are placing yourself lower than the detainees at Guantanomo Bay, according to a recent U.S. Supreme Court decision in favor of those held at Guantanomo Bay.

      FACT: In fact, "feeling compelled to plead guilty" does not take place in the United States. If you feel compelled to plead guilty, you have just been exported outside of the United States. You are also allowing your lawyer to get paid for doing nothing on your behalf. You are paying for a defense, yet you are getting less than nothing in return. You are getting screwed!

      Simply be stubborn - return to the United States, and keep all of your American freedoms - plead "not guilty" no matter what.

    5. In old Europe, if you were not from the upper-class, you were always presumed guilty as charged unless proven otherwise. That was why America came into existence, to establish basic rights for all free citizens, and to establish a classy caste-free society. (At first only some more wealthy white men, depending on which state, were considered free citizens; later it increasingly expanded to include all other races and both sexes.)

    6. First of all, since you are in an American courtroom, you are already presumed innocent until proven guilty. Therefore, your "not-guilty" plea is already in perfect harmony with the presumptions of the court where you are being tried. The prosecution must now prove to the court that you are guilty of the charges. They have to build a case against you and prove you had criminal intent. There is no requirement on your part to confess, or declare your innocence regarding the charges. You should be able to remain silent with your presumed state of "not guilty". You and your attorney do not have to make specific defenses for you, until challenged by the prosecution to the contrary. (Apparently, some states require you to verbally make a "not guilty" plea, others allow the presumption of innocence to be the default.)

    7. Simply go to the courthouse on the appropriate date (court date) with or without a lawyer. When your name is called, the judge will ask you what you are going to do at some point. In some places, you may be assigned a court appointed lawyer. At any rate, don't let organized crime elements railroad you into the dump of convictees (guilty pleas). They may actually try to threaten or intimidate you, through fear, into pleading guilty and being tossed into the dump of criminality. (Even if you're not in jail, you are in the dump of criminality if you plead guilty, or are convicted.) Where these anti-American elements come from, who knows? Perhaps they are there for mere comic relief? I have no idea, but they have nothing to do with the American legal system.

    8. At some point, with or without a lawyer, you can state to the judge, "Not Guilty". At that point, the legal process will unfold. Be very very very very very very careful to not change your plea, no matter what. Don't let your lawyer lead you into the dump. Don't let anyone else lead you into the dump. (Apparently, some states require you to verbally make a "not guilty" plea, others allow the presumption of innocence to be the default.)

    9. Watch what happens ultimately. In many jurisdictions, it will take an enormously long time to find out what they are going to do with you. There may be a trial as that is automatically the default process if the prosecution has a case against you. You will become very happy in most cases as you are freed from the garbage truck heading to the dump of life. If the prosecution is unable to substantiate the charges against you, you will be found to be in your original presumed status: "NOT GUILTY", or all charges will be dropped without any trial. If this happens, you are helping to reduce the crime rate by this presumption of innocence, unsuccessfully challenged, that you are not a criminal.

      If found guilty, you can always keep appealing until the process is terminated by intermediate courts, or ends at the U.S. Supreme Court. This appeals process could take years and years, etc., and lots and lots of money for defense lawyere, though some have made it all the way to the Supreme Court, and won with much less expense - without a lawyer, though this is extremely rare.

      Down through history, many U.S. and state laws have been "thrown out" by this appeals process. Any law in the U.S. can be thrown out using this legal process of appeals if the law is repugnant to, or in conflict with, the constitution. Example: the assault rifle ban law passed during Clinton's terms was thrown out by the U.S. Supreme Court.

    Note - most of the really good lawyers in the U.S. who defend those charged as drug offenders, spend most of their resources and talent defending trafficking networks; i.e, drug traffickers. They really don't give a damn about your rights as a "simple possession" alleged offender since you aren't paying them tens or hundreds or millions of dollars. Therefore, if you plead "not-guilty" and your're not fred or "the mafia", or one of the Columbian or Mexican drug cartel leaders, many U.S. lawyers are not interested in taking you on as a client in the first place unless you're very very rich.

    This country began as a successful "not-your-slave" plea , or a "not-guilty" plea, to the old-royalty of Europe, who were once the owners and controllers of their colonial subjects (the Americans, etc.) in the New World. There were once situations where American citizens ("commoners" or "slaves" to the "lords") were enslaved by European powers controlled by pseudo-royalty, even after we became a new country. The enslavement of American civilian sailors, most presumably white, by the British Royal Navy is one of the things which started the War of 1812.

    The tendency to plead "not guilty", though redundant, is in harmony with the presumptions of the court, and is so fundamentally American in nature. Don't forget that. Pleading guilty on the other hand, is pleading to the judge to have your American citizenship rights severely curtailed.

    Pleading Guilty is Increasing the
    Crime Rate & Screwing Yourself and the U.S.

    "Decrim." versus Legalization:

    Question: should those charged under "decrim." also plead not guilty, even if the fine is only $100 or so?

    Answer: under "decrim.", ironically, I would be much more likely to plead "not guilty".

It's a huge historical trend with all lawyers who are generally adverse to defending clients in court.

    Don't plead guilty, NO MATTER WHAT. Pleading guilty actually LOWERS THE QUALITY of the entire legal system, and all of society, in our country. Pleading guilty is an act of self-hatred against yourself and your country. It benefits absolutely no one - it is simply self-destruction, and nation destructive, to some extent. Don't do it. (((I am fully aware that these days, too many people have already plead guilty.)))

    Question: do drug traffickers with mega-bucks have greater rights under law than YOU? If you said "no", then why would you wish to join the extremely condemned in society by pleading "GUILTY"? That's what you're doing when you plead guilty. You are saying to the judge that you belong with Charles Manson, "the mafia", fred, and many other actual or accused felonous drug dealers who got caught, etc., and/or are on a list of drug offenders including many murderers, etc., etc. In many jurisdictions, there is no distinction between felonys and misdemeanors - you are categorized with Charles Manson, to some extent, if you plead guilty for pot, or are found guilty. (((It's a clerical thing, but it's not the same as not stopping completely at a stop sign, and getting that sort of a ticket. The reefer madness presumption is in the system.

    Of course, the holocaust was also a clerical thing. A simple book-keeping entry by the "polit-bureau".)))

    The consequences of pleading guilty are extremely destructive to America:

    1. You just increased the crime rate, and created a convict by pleading guilty - yourself, and you just created a bad reputation for the United States, and for yourself. If you are found "not guilty", or charges are dismissed, you will be helping to REDUCE the crime rate in the U.S. BRAVO! However, if you have just plead guilty to the judge, you are essentially stating that you ARE A CRIMINAL, NOT A CITIZEN. You are demanding to be enslaved forever in the criminal justice system, not as a positive contributor, but as a destroyer of civilization and reputation. You have just trashed yourself, America, and the legal system, by pleading guilty.

    2. You have shouted to NORML and all other drug policy reform groups, that you are not part of their reform movement, and that you are, indeed, a threat to all Americans. You will be tracked as a threat for the rest of your life. You can never take part in most of the usual things that Americans take part in. (This varies from place to place.)

    3. Every government of the world will know about you, and will condemn your life forever, as "criminal". Many countries have not "decriminalized" marijuana to any extent at all; your "criminal" data will be sent to the most repressive and stupid nations, or U.S. states, in the world who will crave to capture you as a slave or prisoner. If you don't believe this, check to see what Indonesia or some U.S. states do to pot smokers. You may have difficulty believing how harshly you would be treated for marijuana.

    4. It is so easy to plead "not guilty", why not do it to protect yourself and your future? Pleading "not guilty" will help your lawyer to hone their skills so that they are still able to actually defend clients successfully IN COURT, like real defense lawyers do.

    5. If you are dedicated, absolutely, to pleading NOT GUILTY, and your lawyer tries to change your mind for suspicious reasons, or puts pressure on you to enslave yourself by pleading guilty without any rational explanation, he's not a real lawyer. He's probably a comic, or fake. He is defrauding you of what you are paying for, a real defense. He is opposed to the presumptions of the American legal system, and is an alien in the court-room!

      Most people who plead guilty, or are found guilty, later regret it; most who plead "not-guilty" in court, and who later have had charges dropped, or are found "not-guilty", are very happy people in comparison.

      Choose an American solution - plead "not-guilty".

    Last Question: do you really think that big-time drug traffickers who have had all criminal charges against them dropped due to technicalities, have more rights under law to get a quality defense, and remain free as non-criminal citizens than yourself? If not, then plead, "Not Guilty" as big time traffickers with good lawyers often do. (((Drug traffickers often can afford the best and most skillful lawyers. Good for them.)))

    My apology to the REAL ROYALTY of planet earth, those who clean up the trash after the slobs have left.

    The Tar-Additive Industry Update
    for April 2, 2008!!!!!


    Is TAR being added to various substances like marijuana
    and tobacco? According to Dr. Emily Senay, medical correspondent for CBS
    Evening News     (podcast), this is a well known fact that everyone should know.

  • TAR? This is the dictionary definition of "tar" that should be used by everyone:

    3. smoke solids or components

    (2 April '08) Now that tobacco has been banned in Dutch cafes and restaurants, etc., they can no longer equivocate that marijuana smoke and tobacco smoke have the same risks; and tar from marijuana and tar from tobacco, are simply not the same "tar" substance, and have different effects on the human body altogether.

    (April 14, 2008) Today, I read somewhere (I'll reference it if I ever find it again) that marijuana smoke is no more dangerous than campfire smoke. Political slogans...

    This is a major scientific discovery for some in the world media and scientific community who thought that "tar" was a generic additive for numerous things like marijuana and tobacco products.

    (MP3 Audio file.) Dr. Emily Senay, Medical Correspondent for CBS Evening News podcast, appearing to be intellectually challenged by just today referring to "tar" as an "additive" (of tobacco processing); does Dr. Senay also think that some sort of generic "tar" is also being added to marijuana? (If left clicking doesn't work, try right clicking, downloading, then playing file.)

    (For all I know, maybe the tobacco companies add something to plain tobacco that manifests as "tar" upon analysis? But I think tobacco tar is also simply the residue from tobacco smoke, precipitated and collected. A person can also buy "natural tobacco" that has simply been smoked/dried with no processing other than that. Does such "natural" tobacco also manifest "tar" when burned?)

    By the way, the tar on the roof above is from petroleum.

    (CBS News isn't the only intellectual victim of the drug war. There are many other untrue myths which were created by the drug war as well. All such fantasizing makes rational decision making difficult for many people in positions of leadership.

    And also, the British media is constantly telling everyone in the U.K. that since marijuana contains 6 times more "tar" than low-tar cigarettes, marijuana is 6 times more dangerous than tobacco. No analysis of the actual effects of tobacco tar versus marijuana tar. Error - I inititally attributed this error to Katie Couric. Sorry about that.)

  • (11 December '07 encod.org) Belgium Wants Cannabis Social Clubs, or Coffee Shops: Meeting held in Ghent, Belgium about cannabis policy, non-profit cannabis social clubs, commericial pot coffee shops, home-cultivation, and other related topics. Not even a mention of medical marijuana, though there is a mention about purity and quality, and freedom from discrimination and stigmatization for the users, growers, and traders of "soft-drugs".

    Strong point made about current Belgian policy of creating permanent criminal records for those convicted for marijuana possession. Insane.

  • Czech Republic (6 October '07 approx.) Czech Republic may "decriminalize" the growing of small amounts of pot with no profit motive, as well as simple possession of "soft drugs". It's about time home growing without profit motive be recognized as a good thing with very little rationale for opposition to it. This is not about medical marijuana, but any marijuana usage. (I recall reading a number of times that there was already a "decrim." policy for possession of marijuana; now they're considering changing the written law. 2005 article which states that marijuana is considered normal in the Czech Republic. Even Holland seems to be wishy-washy sometimes in terms of home growing. In practice, only a tiny fraction of pot users ever attempt, much less succeed at, growing pot at home.)

  • 1997, Ross Rebagliati KEPT his marijujana associated gold medal after the Olympic doping panel decided that marijuana, though illegal, does not improve atheletic performance after it is used on the field.

  • SCIENCE: High and low potency pot NOT a reliable pain-killer. Medium potency pot - yes. Further evidence that marijuana was never a narcotic. Further evidence in support of the Dutch soft/hard drug definitions, and further repetition of what has been stated by medical researchers since at least the 1840's.

  • SCIENCE: 1) Swiss Research Finds that Teens Who Use Pot Alone, without tobacco, are better off than teens who use both, or in some behaviorial categories measured, neither. In some categories, the pot using teens were better off than the total abstainers, according to this research. 2) Dutch Researcher Finds that Cannabis Not Harmful for Youth. According to these items, youth who have used, or use pot should not be labeled, "permanently damaged" as is standard policy with many drug warriors. Youth who have used or use more dangerous drugs or alcohol should also not be overly stigmatized.

  • Note: jail and prison totals together in the U.S. is actually about 2.2 million.

    I saw numerous articles over the past couple of years mentioning 2.2 million as the nation's prison totals with no mention of jail totals as a distinct figure. Turns out they've apparently been keeping the figures together, jails and prison totals added as one total with no break down. My manual addition of all U.S. jail capacity of 768,000 added to the often quoted 2.2 million, to get 3 million total was in error. The 768,000 or so is included in the 2.2 million. Sorry about that. The mainstream articles that I am quoting have not been quoting the different jail versus prison categories.

    A recent article about the U.S. : prison situation. Another article about the aging U.S. prison population.




    Todd McCormick; former editor
    High Life magazine, the Netherlands, English language edition.
    (Wish I had a copy. It was often on display "for sale"
    in many Amsterdam and Dutch coffee shops back in 1996.)
    Major Medical Marijuana Activist until Prison late 1999.
    To many, Todd McCormick was Proposition 215

    He wrote about his own unusual life, and other topics. He had had a form of cancer, which may or not not be dormant (I don't know). He edited a magazine or two published in Amsterdam and England. He promoted a certain herbal remedy. He wound up in prison for many years. (NOTE: the following article was written probably in Fall 1995; probably just before Todd relocated to Amsterdam. He relocated to California in the U.S., I believe, in early 1997, after prop. 215 passed.) Did Todd McCormick really deserve to spend 5 years or so behind bars? Was there "justice" or benefit from that? Are there hundreds of thousands or millions like him behind bars now? What exactly was his crime compared to all those who have remained generally, out of jail during the same period that Todd was incarcerated? In a more sane world, what advice should Todd have been given, and might have followed to have avoided going to jail? I think we all deserve to know the answers to those questions. I personally do not think that Todd McCormick is a criminal, or was a criminal before, during, or after the period that he was incarcerated. A guy speaking about Todd McCormick and what happened to him from about late 1997 until 2004.

    Todd McCormick was an American journalist whose career was more or less terminated by our government. I can think of very few better examples of a government engaged in self-destructive behavior against its own people. He seems to have been permanently silenced, criminalized, and in a sense, is still incarcerated. We are all incarcerated as long as citizens like Todd McCormick are silenced and virtually incarcerated for much longer than even their unjust prison terms. This is anti-American, anti-human, philosphy at its very worse.

    Why do they attack a guy like this instead of concentrating on the real problems out there?

    The foolish politicians who took this path of greater crime and greater incarceration will probably wind up in prison themselves.


    This mechanical calculator could do division and multiplication,
    with digital mechanical output (answer). If doing long division, an
    answer with a remainder would cause it to run indefinitely - the user
    had to manually shut it down in that situation. The top "answer
    carriage" went back and forth like a typewriter carriage, but did
    so in a seemingly random way when stuck in "long division".

    It wasn't random, but rather behaved according to the repeating decimal value.
    The shut-off repeating division lever, I think, is the red lever in the upper
    left-hand corner.
