The History of Marijuana-a brief Video Created by Weeds

Here is short two minute a video created by the hit Showtime show Weeds. This video shows a brief description of history of cannabis. It shows where cannabis began and how it was used throughout history and how our historic ancestors used marijuana.

What is Weeds?

Weeds is an American television dark comedy-drama series created by Jenji Kohan and produced by Lionsgate Television, which began airing on the Showtime cable television network in 2005. The show revolves around Nancy Botwin (Mary-Louise Parker), a widowed suburbanite mother of two boys—eldest Silas (Hunter Parish) and Shane (Alexander Gould)—who turned to selling marijuana to support her family after her husband unexpectedly died. Over the course of the show, Nancy becomes involved in illegal activities on an escalating scale; the first three seasons deal mainly with selling and growing marijuana locally, while seasons four and after finds the Botwin family through constant resettlements within the Pacific coastal lines of the United States due to multiple circumstances that arise.

Fox News On Prop. 19 - Marijuana Legalization

The California Beer & Beverage Distributors (CBBD)

has donated $10-thousand to defeat Proposition 19

(legalize recreational pot use and cultivation for adults 21 and over)

The alcohol trade group says if Prop. 19 passes, employers would be prevented from drug testing their workers for weed. In a statement, the CBBD said “this would allow California beer distributors’ drivers to operate hundreds of big rig trucks and trailers, sales vehicles and trucks on California highways every day, exposing the motoring public to potential harm. It is also the CBBD’s concern that with the doing away with drug testing of employees, our transportation businesses may be unable to find liability insurance to insure our companies.”

Those supporting legalization argue getting high is far less dangerous than getting drunk. Government figures show that in 2008, nearly 12,000 people were killed in drunk driving accidents. While many authorities firmly believe smoking pot impairs driving, the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration does not keep statistics on how many accidents were caused by stoned drivers. Pro-pot advocates argue that that is because the number is so small.

The “Yes on 19″ campaign suggests California beer sellers are only worried about protecting their turf. “There’s a history of alcohol companies putting money against propositions such as ours, and frankly, it could be they’re concerned about the competition,” says Dale Sky Jones, the campaign’s spokeswoman.

While the CBBD denies its contribution anything to do with competition, several breweries, including popular Chico-based Sierra Nevada, are furious because they’ve been linked with Prop. 19 opposition, and have asked the CBBD to remove their name from their membership list.

“This is California, and every fight has a fight, in a fight, in a fight,” says Phil Matier, political columnist with the San Francisco Chronicle.

“Now you’ve got brew vs. brew, where you have some of the distributors saying, ‘okay, we’re against it,’ and some of the independent breweries like Sierra Nevada saying, ‘No! We don’t want to be associated with this, we’re neutral on the issue, and we’ll let our customers decide.’”

Voters are split, too. A new Field Poll has the measure passing, 49% to 42%, with a 4.1% margin of error. Analysts say alcohol groups, law enforcement organizations, most politicians, and others opposed to Prop. 19 will need to spend more and do more to persuade voters that legalizing pot will create a greater public safety threat, than keeping it illegal.

About Proposition 19

The Problem

Today, hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars are wasted enforcing the failed prohibition of cannabis (also known as marijuana). Currently, cannabis is easier for kids to get than alcohol. Prohibition has created a violent criminal market run by international drug cartels. Police waste valuable resources targeting non-violent cannabis consumers, while thousands of violent crimes go unsolved. And there is $14 billion in marijuana sales every year in California, but our debt-ridden state sees none of the revenue that would come from controlling and taxing it. Cannabis prohibition has failed.

The Solution

We need a common sense approach to control and tax cannabis like alcohol.

Proposition 19 was carefully written, in order to:

• Control cannabis like alcohol, allowing adults 21 and over in California to possess up to one ounce of cannabis, to be consumed at home or licensed establishments
• Give state and local governments the ability to tax the sale of cannabis for adult consumption
• Put our police priorities where they belong, by ending the arrests of non-violent cannabis consumers, saving hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars a year and enabling police to focus on violent crime
• Generate billions in annual revenue to fund what matters most in California: jobs, healthcare, public safety, parks, roads, transportation, and more
• Cut off funding to violent drug cartels across our border who currently generate 60 percent of their revenue from the illegal U.S. marijuana market
• Protect our kids, our roads, and our workplaces, by increasing the penalty for selling marijuana to minors, banning the smoking of marijuana in public, on school grounds, and while minors are present, maintaining strict criminal penalties for driving under the influence of marijuana, and preserving employers’ rights to maintain drug-free workplaces
• Protect medical cannabis patients’ rights

Title and Summary

Changes California Law to Legalize Marijuana and Allow It to Be Regulated and Taxed. Initiative Statute.

Allows people 21 years old or older to possess, cultivate, or transport marijuana for personal use. Permits local governments to regulate and tax commercial production and sale of marijuana to people 21 years old or older. Prohibits people from possessing marijuana on school grounds, using it in public, smoking it while minors are present, or providing it to anyone under 21 years old. Maintains current prohibitions against driving while impaired. Summary of estimate by Legislative Analyst and Director of Finance of fiscal impact on state and local governments: Savings of up to several tens of millions of dollars annually to state and local governments on the costs of incarcerating and supervising certain marijuana offenders. Unknown but potentially major tax, fee, and benefit assessment revenues to state and local government related to the production and sale of marijuana products.

Section 1: Name

This Act shall be known as the “Regulate, Control and Tax Cannabis Act of 2010.”

Section 2: Findings, Intent and Purposes

This Act, adopted by the People of the State of California, makes the following Findings and Statement of Intent and Purpose:

A. Findings

1. California’s laws criminalizing cannabis (marijuana) have failed and need to be reformed. Despite spending decades arresting millions of non-violent cannabis consumers, we have failed to control cannabis or reduce its availability.

2. According to surveys, roughly 100 million Americans (around 1/3 of the country’s population) acknowledge that they have used cannabis, 15 million of those Americans having consumed cannabis in the last month. Cannabis consumption is simply a fact of life for a large percentage of Americans.

3. Despite having some of the strictest cannabis laws in the world, the United States has the largest number of cannabis consumers. The percentage of our citizens who consume cannabis is double that of the percentage of people who consume cannabis in the Netherlands, a country where the selling and adult possession of cannabis is allowed.

4. According to The National Research Council’s recent study of the 11 U.S. states where cannabis is currently decriminalized, there is little apparent relationship between severity of sanctions and the rate of consumption.

5. Cannabis has fewer harmful effects than either alcohol or cigarettes, which are both legal for adult consumption. Cannabis is not physically addictive, does not have long term toxic effects on the body, and does not cause its consumers to become violent.

6. There is an estimated $15 billion in illegal cannabis transactions in California each year. Taxing and regulating cannabis, like we do with alcohol and cigarettes, will generate billions of dollars in annual revenues for California to fund what matters most to Californians: jobs, health care, schools and libraries, roads, and more.

7. California wastes millions of dollars a year targeting, arresting, trying, convicting, and imprisoning non-violent citizens for cannabis related offenses. This money would be better used to combat violent crimes and gangs.

8. The illegality of cannabis enables for the continuation of an out-of-control criminal market, which in turn spawns other illegal and often violent activities. Establishing legal, regulated sales outlets would put dangerous street dealers out of business.

B. Purposes

1. Reform California’s cannabis laws in a way that will benefit our state.

2. Regulate cannabis like we do alcohol: Allow adults to possess and consume small amounts of cannabis.

3. Implement a legal regulatory framework to give California more control over the cultivation, processing, transportation, distribution, and sales of cannabis.

4. Implement a legal regulatory framework to better police and prevent access to and consumption of cannabis by minors in California.

5. Put dangerous, underground street dealers out of business, so their influence in our communities will fade.

6. Provide easier, safer access for patients who need cannabis for medical purposes.

7. Ensure that if a city decides not to tax and regulate the sale of cannabis, that buying and selling cannabis within that city’s limits remain illegal, but that the city’s citizens still have the right to possess and consume small amounts, except as permitted under Health and Safety Sections 11362.5 and 11362.7 through 11362.9.

8. Ensure that if a city decides it does want to tax and regulate the buying and selling of cannabis (to and from adults only), that a strictly controlled legal system is implemented to oversee and regulate cultivation, distribution, and sales, and that the city will have control over how and how much cannabis can be bought and sold, except as permitted under Health and Safety Sections 11362.5 and 11362.7 through 11362.9.

9. Tax and regulate cannabis to generate billions of dollars for our state and local governments to fund what matters most: jobs, healthcare, schools and libraries, parks, roads, transportation, and more.

10. Stop arresting thousands of non-violent cannabis consumers, freeing up police resources and saving millions of dollars each year, which could be used for apprehending truly dangerous criminals and keeping them locked up, and for other essential state needs that lack funding.

11. Allow the Legislature to adopt a statewide regulatory system for a commercial cannabis industry.

12. Make cannabis available for scientific, medical, industrial, and research purposes.

13. Permit California to fulfill the state’s obligations under the United States Constitution to enact laws concerning health, morals, public welfare and safety within the State.

14. Permit the cultivation of small amounts of cannabis for personal consumption.

C. Intent

1. This Act is intended to limit the application and enforcement of state and local laws relating to possession, transportation, cultivation, consumption and sale of cannabis, including but not limited to the following, whether now existing or adopted in the future: Health and Safety Code sections 11014.5 and 11364.5 [relating to drug paraphernalia]; 11054 [relating to cannabis or tetrahydrocannabinols]; 11357 [relating to possession]; 11358 [relating to cultivation]; 11359 [possession for sale]; 11360 [relating to transportation and sales]; 11366 [relating to maintenance of places]; 11366.5 [relating to use of property]; 11370 [relating to punishment]; 11470 [relating to forfeiture]; 11479 [relating to seizure and destruction]; 11703 [relating to definitions regarding illegal substances]; 11705 [actions for use of illegal controlled substance]; Vehicle Code sections 23222 and 40000.15 [relating to possession].

2. This Act is not intended to affect the application or enforcement of the following state laws relating to public health and safety or protection of children and others: Health and Safety Code sections 11357 [relating to possession on school grounds]; 11361 [relating to minors as amended herein]; 11379.6 [relating to chemical production]; 11532 [relating to loitering to commit a crime or acts not authorized by law]; Vehicle Code section 23152 [relating to driving while under the influence]; Penal Code section 272 [relating to contributing to the delinquency of a minor]; nor any law prohibiting use of controlled substances in the workplace or by specific persons whose jobs involve public safety.

California Issues Medical Marijuana Guidelines

Lawsuit Against Lake Elsinore

Lawsuit filed against Lake Elsinore seeks to reverse pot dispensary ban

Carlos Stahl, the operator of a former medical marijuana dispensary, R Side Medical, filed a lawsuit after his business license was revoked by Lake Elsinore code enforcement officers who cited the store because Stahl was running a dispensary without a license.

Lake Elsinore municipal codes prohibit the operation of medical marijuana dispensaries, and Stahl’s business license specifically prohibited the sale of medical marijuana at the store. The license only allowed the sale of clothing, apparel and holistic medicine.

Stahl filed the lawsuit in Riverside County Superior Court in May. He is asking a judge to declare as unlawful the city ordinances that prohibit the sale of medical marijuana and to issue a court order barring the city from enforcing the ordinances.

Stahl said in the suit that under state law, he is entitled to operate the medical marijuana collective despite the city ordinances that make them illegal in Lake Elsinore.

In June a judge denied a request for a temporary restraining order barring enforcement of the city’s laws prohibiting medical marijuana sales. Also the City Council upheld the business license revocation, citing language on the license that prohibited the sale of medical marijuana.

A city report to uphold the revocation noted that the term “holistic medicine” appeared vague to the planning official who signed the business license so it was noted on the paperwork that sale of medical marijuana was prohibited.

Council members told Stahl at the time that they are not opposed to the use of medical marijuana by people entitled to do so. But in this case, council members said, the license was revoked because it did not authorize the sale of medical marijuana.

Lawyers for both sides are scheduled in December to meet with the judge to discuss the case.

Lake Elsinore City Council extends medical marijuana moratorium 10 months

MedCares chance to open a safe access storefront in Lake Elsinore will have to wait close to one year before considering to set-up shop.  Lake Elsinore council voted unanimously to extend a 45-day moratorium on marijuana manufacturing activities for an additional 10 months and 15 days.

Lake Elsinore resident Tony Barnes addressed the council and said he too opposes having marijuana available in the city.

“If they want to buy drugs, let them do it another city,” Barnes said. “I know the affects drugs have on kids and adults. What’s going to be legal next?”

Since there are discrepancies in federal and state law regarding the drug, city reports said, ”Staff believes that further study of dispensary regulation is necessary, to help ensure that marijuana manufacturing activities are regulated in a way that protects the community and complies with the applicable law.”

On Monday, medical marijuana backers gathered at the Cultural Center for a town hall

meeting hosted by Wildomar resident Wayne Williams, who heads We The People, a local pro-cannabis organization.

Several guest speakers including doctors and law enforcement spoke in favor of bringing dispensaries to the city Monday, and backers like Williams, said before the council that he was disappointed to not see any Lake Elsinore council members attend the meeting.

I went to great expenses to bring in the speakers to help council understand the issue,” Williams said to the council. “It was disappointing to see that none of you were there.”

Mayor Melissa Melendez said she did advise Williams she would not be attending the Monday town hall meeting due to previous engagements.

“I can assure you Mr. Williams that I am quite educated on the topic, and this decision isn’t an ideology,” Melendez said. “This is about the law and making sure we are going down the right path.
