Popular English singer Joss Stone has come under attack for simply highlighting the fact that marijuana is safer than alcohol. Earlier this month, the UK's top drug policy advisor was fired after making similar comments, prompting other UK drug policy officials to resign and the nation's chief science advisor to come o...ut in his defense. What is the bloody problem with people pointing out the facts on marijuana and alcohol?Read More

The 22-year-old has enraged anti-drug campaigners after it was suggested she made the comments in a desperate attempt to drum up publicity for her new album.

Angie, I frequently hear similiar arguements from the 'Joe Six-Packs' of the world who think they have more rights then 'tony the toker'. When asked about cannabis their argument usually involves 'fear'... of their own self control. So nothing is new when it comes to our fundamentalist conservative enemies... inorder to control themselves... they must control us!

Ski resorts are offering everything from large discounts to specialty cheeseburgers to attract people to their towns. Perhaps offering skiers and snowboarders a hassle-free environment in which they can relax and recreate with marijuana could do the trick.

Safer Alternative For Enjoyable Recreation (SAFER) This past weekend, popular blog Firedoglake's Book Salon featured SAFER cofounder and "Marijuana Is Safer" coauthor Steve Fox, who takes on all comers in a pretty lengthy discussion about the book and its message.

I just read this book, one of the most informitive and straight forward looks on the world of marijuana and the possiblities of a safer tomorrow, no matter what part of the world you're from. Chapter12 "Our vision of the future." applied perfectly for Canada as it does for the USA. We need to get the drugs out of the hands of people who give our children access to more explicit drugs and stop being scared to enjoy a hoot every now and then.

Her's another book that comes from the law enforcement side that should be included in this discussion.This is a link to my local county sheriff's page: http://www.libertybill.net/. He has written a couple of books about the failure of the "war on drugs" which are a good read for everyone that's interested in this topic that MPP, SAFER and LEAP ... Read Moreare bringing to the forefront. This is one LEO that I do trust (he's been a personal friend for almost 30 years)and he just may be the highest ranking elected Libertarian in the country. His book "Drug War Addiction" is especially pertinent in this effort. Mason Tvert probably already has had contact with Bill in that he is a Colorado county sheriff.

This week SAFER joined forces with the UCCS chapter of Students for Sensible Drug Policy to call out the University's "Healthy Choices Fair," which provided information about "responsible alcohol use" and refused to include information about the relative harms of alcohol and marijuana. Great story below from the local ...NBC affiliate, as well as in the Co. Springs Gazette - http://www.gazette.com/articles/pot-64111-booze-group.htmlRead More

"I heard about the healthy choices fair and it seemed a really good opportunity to educate the student body about the relative harms of alcohol versus cannibis," said Stephanie Morphet, of Students for Sensible Drug Policy.

Safer Alternative For Enjoyable Recreation (SAFER) According to a Gallup poll released today, public support for marijuana legalization in the U.S. has reached a record high! Although this is great news, it makes it clear that our work is not done yet -- we need to keep fighting and get more Americans in tune with the facts. Particularly, the fact that marijuana is far safer than alcohol!

Source: tinyurl.com
More than 4 in 10 Americans -- 44% -- believe the use of marijuana should be made legal, while barely half say it should not. Support for legalization is up from 36% in 2005 and now far exceeds the 31% found at the start of the decade.

I believe it happened last winter. The transit cop claimed he was going for his Taser and instead grabbed his gun. Luckily people filmed him on their cell phone cameras. Pretty gruesome and horrible event. I hope he rots in jail for the rest of his life.
