6 hours 8 min ago
<![CDATA[
â??Baggies, as almost all of us have realized by now, are a far from perfect storage solution when it comes to cannabis. For dispensaries and collectives which want a better way of storing meds, LA Container Inc., in business since 1984, offers some elegant solutions.LA Container is so far doing business only at the wholesale level, selling containers by the case to retailers such as dispensaries and smoke shops -- but if you're a client rather than a business owner, you can always ask for them by name at your favorite outlet.

<![CDATA[
â??A road patrol deputy arrested a Florida man after he fled from his pickup Saturday at 2 a.m. After his capture, deputies found 242 grams of marijuana, Xanax, and "other drug related items" in the truck.The Charlotte County Sheriff's deputy responded to a report of a man slumped over the steering wheel in a pickup in Port Charlotte, Fla., reports WINK News. Upon the arrival, the deputy shook the sleeping Daniel Jacob Dunn, 21, 3740 Easy Street (perfect), until he finally woke up. A "strong odor of marijuana" was coming from the pickup, according to the deputy.A K9 unit was called to search around the vehicle, and the dog alerted for the presence of drugs.At that point, Dunn, apparently deciding to make a run for it, got out of the truck and fled, causing a foot chase. After making some pretty impressive evasive moves for someone who must have been Xanaxed to the max,&nbsp;Dunn was finally tackled by the officer a couple of blocks away.

US CA: Indoor Marijuana Grows In Rentals Put Landlords

8 hours 20 min ago
Santa Cruz Sentinel, 06 Sep 2010 - SANTA CRUZ -- Jon Castaline, a middle-aged disabled handyman, was looking for a place to store his tools and his medicinal marijuana plants. The rental units Jill Escher oversees on Beach Hill were perfect. While the one-car garage below a motel-turned-apartment complex didn't have electricity or water, Castaline was allowed to install one power outlet so he could put up a light and do his handyman work in the storage area. For $145 a month, it was hard to beat.

US: Web: Can California's Legalization Battle Kick-Start a Movement for Change?

18 hours 10 min ago
AlterNet, 06 Sep 2010 - Prohibition has failed -- again. Drug prohibition has proven remarkably ineffective, costly and counter-productive. 500,000 people are behind bars today for violating a drug law - and hundreds of thousands more are incarcerated for other prohibition-related violations. There is a smarter approach usually called harm reduction. Reducing the number of people who use drugs is not nearly as important as reducing the death, disease, crime, and suffering associated with both drug misuse and failed policies of prohibition. Ethan Nadelmann is the founder and executive director of the DRUG POLICY ALLIANCE, the leading organizations in the United States promoting alternatives to the war on drugs, grounded in science, compassion, health and human rights. He received his BA, JD, and PhD from Harvard, and a Master's degree in international relations from the London School of Economics. He authored COPS ACROSS BORDERS and co-authored POLICING THE GLOBE: Criminalization and Crime Control in International Relations.

Army Vet, 80, Busted In Pot Raid; Had Given Names To Plants

Mon, 09/06/2010 - 16:37
<![CDATA[
â??An 80-year-old Minnesota man is facing felony charges after a marijuana raid, with police claiming he is the leader of a what they called a "large-scale grow operation."&nbsp;Welcome to the world of&nbsp;American drug enforcement, where an old man tending a few plants -- at least some of which he had apparently given names -- passes through the Drug War looking glass and becomes magically transformed into a major grow-op.Acting on a tip from a confidential informant, police raided a location just south of Winona, Minn., near a family campground on August 24. They say they found an outdoor greenhouse, three firearms, and Army discharge papers dated from 1953 belonging to the man, reported Leif Knutson at My Fox 9.The elderly suspect, Donald John Everding, had "several" cannabis plants more than eight feet tall as part of an "elaborate" grow operation, police said, reports Matt Christensen at the Winona Daily News. (Hey, you ever notice how, with the cops, grow-ops are seemingly always either "elaborate" and "sophisticated" or "dangerously primitive"?)

Judge: Pot-Slinging Sheriff's Statements Can Be Used In His Trial

Mon, 09/06/2010 - 16:37
<![CDATA[
â??A southern Illinois sheriff accused of selling marijuana on the job has lost in his bid to prevent federal jurors from hearing jailhouse statements he made that led to charges of plotting with his wife and son to have two potential witnesses killed.Raymond Martin's quest to have interviews with two investigators last January ruled inadmissible as evidence during his trial was rejected by U.S. District Judge J. Phil Gilbert on Friday.The sheriff's trial is scheduled to start Monday, September 6, in Benton, Ill., reports Jim Suhr at STLtoday.com.Federal agents arrested Martin last year on charges he trafficked marijuana while serving as sheriff of Galllatin County, Ill. He allegedly supplied a pot dealer and threatened to kill the man &nbsp;when he said he wanted out.At least twice, according to a Drug Enforcement Administration agent's affidavit, Martin pulled his service revolver to press the point that it would be "that easy" to make the dealer "disappear."While Martin was jailed on those marijuana charges, authorities claim he masterminded a scheme between September and December 2009 to have witnesses assaulted and possibly killed. None of the witnesses were actually harmed.
