New Jersey is on its way to becoming the 14th state to legalize medicinal use of marijuana.<br /><br />I think this will end up having greater implications than the simple addition of another state that allows medical use of marijuana. I know there is a lot of debate about marijuana policy in states neighboring New Jersey, such as New York, Pennsylvania, New Hampshire, etc. A good medical law in NJ will, I believe, help move opinion among both legislators and the public at large in neighboring, culturally similar states.Rhayaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14058323741957679243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3194774682855710383.post-48783152897023965482010-01-13T03:09:34.956-05:002010-01-13T03:09:34.956-05:00Hi everyone, glad to see the update about the succ...Hi everyone, glad to see the update about the success in committee for this bill. I'm in Hawaii right now doing speaking engagements for LEAP, and a lot of the drug policy reformers here were excited about the news from California. Hawaii has a long way to get to where California is, but hopefully this visit from LEAP will help at least a little bit. Now, my next couple of days are jam packed with LEAP presentations so I might not be posting for a while.<br /><br />Anonymous at 10:28pm - LEAP is made up of serving and former cops.

In fact, I remember a short time ago a story on this blog about an active member of a police force getting into some hot water over his LEAP advocacy. Could David or another LEAP'er please provide a little clarification on this?<br /><br />At any rate, the commenter's last point certainly rings true. As we're already seeing in California and other places, police departments -- from patrolmen right up to commissioners -- are, for the most part, going to be staunch defenders of the status quo.Rhayaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14058323741957679243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3194774682855710383.post-21249642357564033492010-01-11T22:28:25.854-05:002010-01-11T22:28:25.854-05:00This headline is somewhat misleading.

True, LEAP is made up of FORMER LE, judges, etc, but none that are currently employed in the field.<br /><br />I also find it sad that the most effective person on LEAP's staff was one of the initial founders, Howard Wooldridge, who actually coined the phrase "Cops say Legalize Drugs. Ask me why" slogan and brought it to LEAP. LEAP unceremonously dumped Howard last summer due to a petty political tiff on the LEAP Board. <br /><br />Howard now struggles to maintain his duty post on Capitol Hill, further cultivating relationships with members of Congress and their staff. His solo lobbying is doen under an effort called COP (Citizens Opposing Prohibition).<br /><br />So let's keep it real. Law Enforcement lobbists will be out in force (literally) to defeat this bill.

They are in the hands of drug dealers that don't card. That means it is easier for kids to buy drugs at schools than it is for them to get cigarettes or alcohol. Making the drugs legal, would be the only way to put them in a pharmacy! Right now, there is no control of those drugs you refer to. And, so far as people dieing from overdose, there would be fewer overdose deaths if the system was changed to harm reduction approach,instead of the present punitive one. (Naloxone being kept from distribution to addicts to take when they overdose, in some states; clean needle distribution blocked by politicans that would prevent the spread of hepatitis and HIV) And the prohibition of the deadliest drug of all, alcohol, failed, too. See any similarities. Many, of us, here do!<br /><br />The system, as it is, could have been responsible for those overdose deaths you talk about! Doing the same thing, over and over again, expecting different results, is insanity!<br /><br /> You say that our system is nearly broken, but do you realize what is going on along our southern border and in Mexico? We are going to destroy Mexico, because of our lust for drugs! We live in the same reality, that you do. You just refuse to understand the motives that LEAP has. It, actaully, is into saving the kids and ending the prohibition on drugs, as did with alcohol. The drug war, ran by the DEA, has had forty years to be successful, and has score a great big "0", according to the GAO, a few year ago! Drugs are more potent and easier to come by, after 30 years of tyranny!Michaelnoreply@blogger.com
