Prince of Pot' Marc Emery Sentenced To Five Years in US Prison

Marc Emery, well-known Canadian marijuana activist and founder of Cannabis Culture Magazine, was sentenced by a federal judge to five years behind bars in a US prison on September 10th.

Targeted by the DEA for his political activism and his efforts to fund marijuana legalization groups, our good friend Marc finally learned his fate this afternoon in a Seattle courtroom: a five year sentence for selling marijuana seeds, in accord with a plea deal arranged with US prosecutors.

ENCOD Bulletin zu Drogenpolitik in Europa Nr. 67. im September 2010

Wir sind gewillt, anzunehmen dass alles mit guten Vorsätzen begonnen hat. Aber gute Vorsätze können Trügerisch sein. Drogenpolitik, die auf dem Strafgesetz basiert, hat und wird weiterhin viele schädliche Konsequenzen haben und nur wenige positive. Deswegen bemüht sich ENCOD, seit seiner Begründung, um eine radikale Änderung in der Drogenpolitik.

2008 startete die Europäische Kommission ein großes Projekt, um die Effekte des "Globalen Drogenkontrollsystems" auszuwerten. Der Grund für diesen Schritt war, dass die UNODC (die Behörde der Vereinten Nationen gegen Drogen(-missbrauch) und Kriminalität) keinen Plan hatte für eine unabhängige Auswertung des UNGASS 1998 Vorhabens Der "Bericht zum globalen Markt für illegale Drogen 1998-2007, auch bekannt als der Reuter-Trautmann Bericht wurde kurz vor dem jährlichen Treffen der Suchtstoffkommission 2009 veröffentlicht, aber konnte damit keinen Einfluss auf die Vorgehensweise des Treffens haben.

Bundesinstitut für Arzneimittel und Medizinprodukte
lehnt Antrag auf Eigenanbau von Cannabis für medizinische
Zwecke ab

Das Bundesinstitut für Arzneimittel und Medizinprodukte (BfArM),
das der Aufsicht des Bundesgesundheitsministeriums untersteht,
hat einem Multiple-Sklerose-Patienten untersagt, Cannabis selbst
anzubauen. Der Bescheid vom 10. August wurde vor allem
begründet mit Sicherheitsbedenken beim Anbau in der Wohnung,
einer erhöhten Gefahr für Missbrauch, der Verwendung einer nicht
standardisierten Substanz und der Schädigung des internationalen
Ansehens Deutschlands.

Business groups amp up campaign against marijuana legalization

The California Chamber of Commerce and other groups representing employers are starting to line up to oppose the initiative to legalize marijuana, charging that Proposition 19 would allow pot smokers to light up on the job and operate dangerous equipment while stoned.

Stepping up the campaign on Thursday, the chamber released a five-page analysis that starts: "Imagine a workplace where employees show up to work high on marijuana and there is nothing you can do about it."

Allan Zaremberg, the chamber's chief executive, criticized the measure, saying it would set a high bar for employers to act against workers using marijuana by requiring proof that they were actually impaired. "Prop. 19 creates a new protected class of California citizens," he said.

Crime Stats Show D.C. Leads Nation In Per Capita Marijuana Arrests

Walk down the streets almost anywhere in the District, and you won’t have to go far before you catch a whiff of a certain well-liked herb. Even before D.C.’s medical-marijuana law allows prescription pot, the scent of cannabis often drifts out of cars, hovers around the front of bars or wafts along sidewalks.

A federal study estimates 78,000 people in D.C. used pot in 2007, the last year for which statistics were available. That’s about 13 percent of the population at large; meanwhile, more than a quarter of 18-to-25-year-olds said they’d smoked in the last month alone.
