The government should consider legalizing marijuana
madison.com – Feb 20, 2006
Yes, some people are fighting to make it legal for medicinal puposes, but I'm talking about legally purchasing and smoking it for recreational purposes. What effect would legalizing marijuana have on our country? The first thing that comes to my mind is control. If it became legal, it would be taxed and there would laws on distribution, similar to cigarettes and alcohol. I also think legalizing marijuana would deter illegal distributors(drug dealers). Why chance selling it when everyone can purchase it at the local tobacco shop?I guess one could argue that marijuana leads to other drugs, but that just isn't true. Does drinking alcohol lead to moonshine? I'm a pretty regular drinker, and I've never had this urge to get more drunk, or find a different kind of drunk… What effect would legalizing marijuana have on our country?

It's a weak-ass excuse by people who don't know what they're talking about. Another argument might be that marijuana is bad for your health.

Ashtari said the Albert Einstein team undertook the study because of population studies showing an association between marijuana smoking and schizophrenia. The latest of these studies, reported in the May issue of the Journal of Addiction, involved 1,000 people followed for 25 years. It showed that the heaviest marijuana use was associated with a higher risk of schizophrenia and that schizophrenics who smoked marijuana had more relapses than schizophrenics who didn’t smoke. “We’re not saying that anybody who smokes marijuana is going to get schizophrenia,” Ashtari said. “However, we are saying that if you are genetically predisposed, because your uncle or aunt or father or somebody has schizophrenia in your family, then marijuana increases your risk of contracting the disease… The latest of these studies, reported in the May issue of the Journal of Addiction, involved 1,000 people followed for 25 years.

CLIMATE RESEARCH IN THE DEATH ZONE
Spiegel Online – Feb 20, 2006
“Climbing around on glaciers may be spectacular,” says German biologist Andreas Hemp. “But plants tell me more about climate change than ice. ” With the sure-footedness of a sleepwalker, Hemp wanders through the underbrush, among red-blooming flame trees, banana groves and ferns the size of trees. He has been studying the region’s mountainous forests on behalf of Germany’s University of Bayreuth for the past 15 years. Brandishing a machete to clear a path, he frequently sets out to inspect — in some case centimeter by centimeter — his 1,400 test sites. Hemp lives in a colonial-era German mission. The glass windows in the mission’s Lutheran church were shipped from Nuremberg, the church bells, likewise imported from Germany, continue to ring every Sunday, and the villagers sing German hymns in the local Chaga dialect… “The climate data collected by the German colonial administration show that precipitation has declined by about a third in the last hundred years,” says Hemp. Some mountain streams are little more than thin trickles of water today. But Hemp sees overpopulation as a more serious problem for the region than global climate change. “In that span of time, the number of people living at the base of the mountain has grown twenty-fold, or to about a million. The forest suffers as a result,” says Kemp. “Illegal loggers are assaulting the rain forest from below, and fires have lowered the upper range of the evergreen forest — by about 500 meters in the last 30 years. ” Poverty is often at the root of the forest fires, which are set by illegal honey gatherers who burn sticks of wood to protect themselves against aggressive African bees.

(AP) — Law enforcement officers harvested a dubious record last year — enough marijuana plants to rank the illegal weed as Washington state’s No. 8 agricultural commodity, edging out sweet cherries in value. The 135,323 marijuana plants seized in 2005 were estimated to be worth $270 million — a record amount that places the crop among the state’s top 10 agricultural commodities, based on the most recent statistics available. “We’re struck by the amount of work they put into it,” said Rich Wiley, who heads the Washington State Patrol narcotics program. “It’s very labor intensive. They often run individual drip lines to each plant, and are out there fertilizing them. The net results have a tremendous payoff to illegal growers, said Wiley, who coordinates pot busts with the U… Drug Enforcement Agency and local law enforcement agencies. A single plant can produce as much as a pound of processed marijuana, worth an estimated $2,000, he said. The estimated $270 million value of the plants seized in 2005 ranked just above sweet cherries, which were valued at $242 million in 2004 and just below the $329 million the state’s nurseries and greenhouses produced. Apples are the state’s No. 1 agricultural commodity, bringing $962.

Police were contacted, the house was cleared and the tenants did not return. The cannabis cultivators bypassed the electricity company to power the heat lamps, and it will cost the owner £1,500 to get the electricity rewired safely. “There was a small crack in one of the windows and my son looked in and saw trees growing in there. ” Shocked landladyThe landlady is struggling to claim compensation on her home insurance to repair the house she was hoping to sell. Rented accommodation used to cultivate cannabis plants is rife in Waltham Forest, and landlords have been deceived when letting property through estate agents or privately. Sgt Tony How of Valley Safer Neighbourhoods team said the officers acted quickly on the information received from the landlord but there were no tenants on the scene when officers arrived.
