A College Is Trying to Ruin 4/20 By Making Its Campus Uninhabitable with Fish Fertilizer

Monday, 16 April 2012 18:10 administrator

A College Is Trying to Ruin 4/20 By Making Its Campus Uninhabitable with Fish Fertilizer 4/20 (which is this Friday for you no clock having, no calendar using hippies) is supposed to be a genial day filled with the united airy bloom of a specific natural, medicinal herb, shower-wary people and no worries 'bout a thing. Colorado University is trying to crush that experience and ruin 4/20 for everyone.

I know, I know, colleges have been trying to screw over participants of 4/20 for years but this year CU is going DEFCON 1 on these kids. Not only is CU banning non-students from the campus, they're making trespassers subject to $750 fines and six months of jail time. It's serious! In previous years, Colorado University has used fences, turned on sprinklers and even "encouraged snitching" to quell the mass amount of people who show up at the quad every year to create a man-made natural cloud of smoke (for reference, 10,000 people showed up last year).

The final line of defense for CU this year is ruining the quad itself. CU is planning on feeding fish fertilizer to the lawn where everyone meets up to light one in hopes of overgrowing the grass and making it "virtually uninhabitable". Why so serious? [Denver CBS via Consumerist]

mikel leshoure detroit lions Detroit Lions running back Mikel Leshoure is facing a felony charge of possession of marijuana in Berrien County District Court after a March traffic stop, his second drug-related offense in less than a month.

Leshoure, who missed all of his rookie season with a torn Achilles tendon, was the passenger in a rented 2012 Mitsubishi SUV that was pulled over March 12 while driving westbound on I-94, according to a Baroda-Lake Township Police case report.

• POLICE REPORT

The officer making the traffic stop observed Leshoure “chewing marijuana” and saw “small pieces of marijuana down the front of his shirt,” according to the report. Leshoure complied when he was ordered to spit out the marijuana, the report said.

According to the report, Leshoure admitted to smoking marijuana before he was pulled over but said most of the substance in his mouth was potpourri that was mixed with marijuana.

Oaksterdam

WASHINGTON -- Elected lawmakers in five states have a message for the federal government: Don't interfere with state medical marijuana laws.

In an open letter to the federal government, lawmakers from both sides of the political aisle called on the government to stop using scarce law enforcement resources on taking pot away from medical marijuana patients.

"States with medical marijuana laws have chosen to embrace an approach that is based on science, reason, and compassion. We are lawmakers from these states," the lawmakers explained in their letter.

"Our state medical marijuana laws differ from one another in their details, such as which patients qualify for medical use; how much marijuana patients may possess; whether patients and caregivers may grow marijuana; and whether regulated entities may grow and sell marijuana to patients. Each of our laws, however, is motivated by a desire to protect seriously ill patients from criminal penalties under state law."

Oaksterdam Raid

TERRY COLLINS

OAKLAND, Calif. — Federal agents targeted one of the nation's leading pot advocates Monday in a raid on a San Francisco Bay Area medical marijuana training school started by an activist who has been instrumental in pushing for ballot measures to legalize the drug.

The doors to Oaksterdam University in downtown Oakland were cordoned off by yellow tape and blocked by U.S. marshals following an early-morning raid by agents with the Internal Revenue Service and the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration. Agents carted trash bags of unknown materials out of the school as protesters gathered to condemn the feds' action.

A museum connected to the school and a nearby medical marijuana dispensary operated by Oaksterdam founder Richard Lee also were raided.

Arlette Lee, an IRS spokeswoman and no relation to Richard Lee, told reporters that agents were serving a federal search warrant but said she could not otherwise comment on the purpose of the raid.

"What we are doing here today is under seal," Lee said.

Israel Loses 15 Tons Of Medical Marijuana A Year

Israel is a world leader in medical marijuana use, according to anesthesiologist and pain relief expert Dr. Bareket Schiff-Keren, who said as much in his testimony to the Knesset Committee on Drug Abuse on Tuesday. But there's a problem with the system: about 15 tons of medicinal cannabis are stolen each year, according to police records.

Israel Police representative Eyal Zilberman told the committee that medical marijuana is being sold on the black market, and the fields to grow cannabis are not properly secured to prevent theft, reports Lahav Harkov at The Jerusalem Post.

Most medical marijuana fields do not meet police standards, according to Zilberman, who called the situation "bizarre." He said some of the cannabis fields are near shopping malls and parks and have low fences, with no security cameras or locks.
