Congress to Hold Hearings on State and Federal Marijuana Conflict

[Source:Erik Altieri, NORMLCommunications Director]

Senator Patrick Leahy (D-VT) has scheduled a hearing to address the conflict between state and federal marijuana laws.

“It is important, especially at a time of budget constraints, to determine whether it is the best use of federal resources to prosecute the personal or medicinal use of marijuana in states that have made such consumption legal,” Senator Leahy stated, “I believe that these state laws should be respected. At a minimum, there should be guidance about enforcement from the federal government.”

The hearing is scheduled for September 10th and both Attorney General Eric Holder and Deputy Attorney General James Cole have been invited to testify.

The hearing comes after 20 states have approved of the medical use of marijuana and two states have legalized it for recreational use. The Department of Justice had promised clarification for these states regarding how, or if, the federal government intends to respond, but has thus far failed to provide any clear policy or guidance. It is the hope of Senator Leahy these hearings will address the concerns of these states and provide them a way to move forward with their state approved marijuana laws

New Jersey Governor: Ease access to kids' medical pot

[By ANGELA DELLI SANTI and GEOFF MULVIHILL Associated Press]

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie agreed Friday to give chronically ill children easier access to medical marijuana, but he was unwilling to go as far as state lawmakers wanted. 

The Republican governor conditionally vetoed a bill on the topic, saying in the document, "Parents, and not government regulators, are best suited to decide how to care for their children." 

He said he agreed with provisions that would allow production of ingestible forms of pot at state-approved dispensaries and to allow dispensaries to grow more than three strains of the drug. But he struck a part of the bill that would have dropped a requirement that a psychiatrist and pediatrician sign off before children are allowed medical marijuana. He said he wanted to keep in some safeguards for young patients. 

The bill now goes back to the Legislature. If lawmakers make the changes Christie requested, it will become law. It was not immediately clear when lawmakers may take it up, but the state Senate does have a voting session scheduled for Monday. 

Sen. Nick Scutari, one of the sponsors of the bill, said he's pleased that children would be given access to edible marijuana in strains appropriate for their medical needs, but concerned that psychiatric review is an unnecessary hurdle for parents. He said he will review the conditional veto before discussing with fellow lawmakers how to proceed.

Is super weed, super bad?

[By Caleb Hellerman, CNN]

The glossy spread in "High Times" a magazine for pot devotees, showcases the "strongest strains on Earth." The most recent rankings are topped by "Head Cheese," which is grown in a hydroponic system and fed with a carefully calibrated dose of synthetic nutrients.

On "Weed Tracker," a California-based website where medical marijuana users share notes, cannabis connoisseurs sing the praises of "Sensi Star" and rave about the "Grand Daddy Purple, which tastes like a berry vanilla smoothie." Another medical site touts a bud "finished with a subtle fruit effect ... offering a deep body stone with a creative mind high," and warns it is "not for newbies or low-tolerance patients."

The descriptions evoke images of a wine-tasting club -- albeit one with a few eccentrics. But increasingly it seems the most valued trait among these weed admirers is pure knockout power.

"Tried the rest, found the BEST!!!"

[Review by: nytr4splant, August 7, 2013]

"Wow, I can't say enough about this place. This is the best weed in town by far. The LA woman is KILLER! It is super long lasting and has an awesome classic Indica high. The prophet and OG Cheese are top notch as well. I am curious about the other strains but frankly I can't bring myself to try anything else. The prices are above average, but the given the quality it is a bargain. Plus they have daily specials that bring things down, and they give you 50 dollars off for every 500 you spend. The staff is super chill. Nick (I think he is the manager), is quick with a recommendation and asks what you thought the next time you come in. All in all I have yet to find anything wrong with the place and will give it my business as long as I am in Boulder."

Recreational Marijuana Sales Banned In More Than Two Dozen Colorado Cities

 
[Source: HuffingtonPost]

Although Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper signed several historic measures to implement marijuana legalization in the state, establishing Colorado as the world's first legal, regulated and taxed marijuana market for adults back in May, many of the Centennial State's cities are banning retail legal weed.

On Tuesday, Colorado Springs, the state's second largest city, is expected to vote to ban retail recreational marijuana stores, The Associated Press reports. Four of nine Colorado Springs City Council members have already said they will vote against retail weed stores. But even if legal marijuana sales are approved, Mayor Steve Bach has vowed to veto recreational pot shops in the city limits.

The City Council could just ban recreational marijuana sales altogether or allow marijuana sales but also pass a moratorium on opening pot shops until after Colorado voters weigh in on approving tax rates for recreational marijuana in the state this November. But according to the Gazette, Bach has said he'd even veto the moratorium option.

"This is so important to our community and in our best interest that I will respectfully need to veto anything short of opting out," Bach said in a Gazette report. 

Recreational pot sales in Colorado cities that opt-in can begin on Jan. 1, 2014

Gov. Pat Quinn to sign bill legalizing medical marijuana in Illinois

 

Congratulations to the state of Illinois for becoming the 20th state to legalize medical marijuana and to showing the movement is well on its way. 

[Source: Associated Press/ABCLocal]

July 31, 2013 (CHICAGO) -- Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn will sign legislation making the state the 20th in the U.S. to legalize medical marijuana. 

His remarks Thursday will focus on providing relief to the seriously ill, including veterans.
The Chicago Democrat will also tout the legislation's strict standards, which experts say are among the nation's toughest. That's according to a copy of details obtained Wednesday by The Associated Press. 

The measure outlines a four-year pilot program that requires patients and caregivers to undergo background checks and sets provisions for state-regulated dispensaries. The proposal says seriously ill patients can be allowed up to 2.5 ounces at a time. 
 
Jim Champion, a veteran with multiple sclerosis who's advocated for medical cannabis, has been invited to speak at Thursday's bill signing.
