assistant: selling non-sterilized marijuana seeds.  Clay admitted during the trial that
he was on a campaign to change the marijuana laws when arrested.  He will be
sentenced on criminal possession and trafficking charges on September 5.
          Although agreeing with Clay that marijuana is relatively harmless
and does not cause criminal behavior, Justice John McCart ruled that elected
politicians -- not the courts -- must lead the way in establishing public
policy on such issues.  McCart did admit, "The national governments of
Canada and the United States appear to be somewhat out of step with most of
the western world [in regards to their marijuana laws.]"

Write your reply.

assistant: I.A.C. l0.13(1)-(6).  The assistant county attorney's reliance on
     657 I.A.C. 10.5(1) is misplaced because that rule applies only to
     applications to the board pursuant to 657 I.A.C. 10.5 by persons
     who want the board to recommend that the general assembly revise
     the schedules to except listed substances or add new substances.
          In short, the board of pharmacy examiners has two options
     under Iowa's Uniform Controlled Substances Act.  If the board
     agrees that marijuana has currently accepted medical use, it can
     and should adopt any rules necessary to regulate that use.  If the
     board finds that marijuana has no currently accepted medical use,
     it can and is required to recommend to the general assembly that
     it be deleted from Schedule II and that the exceptions to its use
     for medicinal purposes be deleted from Schedule I.  If the general
     assembly adopts the board's recommendation by amending Schedules I
     and II and the Governor approves those amendments, marijuana will
     once again be solely a Schedule I controlled substance under Iowa
     law with no exception for medicinal uses.
          Just as soon as that happens, it will be appropriate to
     review defendant's probation as the Court's order of July 14
     provided.
          IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the assistant county attorney's
     motion for reconsideration is denied.

tastes like shit. I usually
spend 20.00-30.00 on a GOOD bag" ?
This is absurd for 2 reasons:
1 All the homegrown I've seen is some of the finest, skunkiest, most
wonderful weed I've ever seen, it tastes GREAT says Tony the tiger. So I'm
completely confused.
and 2 Where in this world can you buy a GOOD bag (I'm assuming you're talking
about a quarter Oz.) for $20-30. All one finds here in Memphis TN is browm
Mexican dirtweed, for that price and it don't taste good. Good weed is $100.
Tastes like homegrown yum yum
I don't know what you're deal is, but you aint right.

Subject: Focus on the Esequiel Hernandez shooting
   The Drug Policy Forum of Texas would like to announce its
focus on the shooting of Esequiel Hernandez at:
http://www.mapinc.org/DPFT/hernandez/
   The website contains an ongoing compilation of media
articles, published letters and editorials concerning the
investigations, the seemingly-stacked Grand Jury and the current
obstruction of congressional investigations by the federal
government.
  DPF Texas is using the public media record to expose this
insane war on drugs and its growing militarization.  The website
contains 4 dozen+ documents that trace this tragedy from the
shooting through the Grand Jury and leading up to the upcoming
congressional hearings in September.
  The website also contains contact information for
organizations concerned with border rights and the drug war, an
excellent op-ed written by DPF Texas for the Dallas Morning
News, and a transcript of a speech given by Kevin Zeese,
President of "Common Sense For Drug Policy" and a director of
DPF Texas.

arrests of non-violent marijuana offenders truly represents governmental

dollars in police time and court processing costs.  They do nothing to

graduate students participating in the project.
