Newspaper Endorses Nevada Pot Initiative
San Francisco Chronicle – Jun 21, 2006
(AP) — A newspaper in rural northern Nevada has given a surprising endorsement to a ballot measure to decriminalize adult possession of limited amounts of marijuana through regulation and taxation. “In a state where prostitution is legal in certain counties, bars are not required to close and children can legally possess and use tobacco, objections to marijuana legalization on a moral basis seem hypocritical,” the Lahontan Valley News and Fallon Eagle Standard said in a Tuesday editorial. “Those who view marijuana as a blight on society have yet to offer an effective solution of how to stop its spread through society or better fund law enforcement. Continuation of the ill-funded, halfhearted campaigns of the past is little more than veiled acceptance of its current widespread and illegal use. Mike McGinness, R-Fallon, said he was surprised by newspaper’s support for the Nov… “Rural Nevada, while often thought to be conservative, is often more libertarian. They don’t like government intervention,” Herzik said. “They’re not endorsing the use of marijuana, but instead saying ‘Why don’t we treat this as we do many other vices in Nevada’ — which is to accept them,” Herzik said. Nevada voters approved a constitutional amendment allowing marijuana use for medical purposes in 1998 and 2000. Two years later, they rejected efforts by national advocates to allow adult possession of up to 3 ounces for non-medical use. The latest proposal would allow adults to possession up to 1 ounce.

Shot down on the farm
Detroit Metro Times – Jun 21, 2006
The campers at Rainbow Farm had called the car the Hempulance because Omar took the county roads like he was operating an emergency vehicle. He drove fast as a point of pride, and the Hempulance carried the weed, always arriving just in time with the antidote to ordinary blues. Many were saved, and many believed the cannabis plant could save the world. But now it seemed like it was Rainbow Farm that needed saving. On any other Labor Day weekend, as many as five thousand people would have been pouring through the Rainbow Farm gates for Roach Roast, the annual fall campout where Tommy Chong or Merle Haggard or Big Brother and the Holding Company would play on the big stage and the best-known hemp advocates in the country would preach the legalization of marijuana. It had been that way since 1995, when Tom Crosslin and his lover Rollie Rohm had begun hosting festivals there. Omar and Nessa raced to aid their friends… Many were saved, and many believed the cannabis plant could save the world. But now it seemed like it was Rainbow Farm that needed saving.

They weren’t too certain of the details, but they knew Tom and Rollie had been busted in May for growing some pot, and they were in a big feud with the county prosecutor. The Memorial Day festival had been canceled but the Labor Day blowout had still been a go.
