| Rep. James Smith (R-Sandia Park) has introduced a bill that would put an end to New Mexico's medical marijuana program.Montana's considering a similar measure, because, as House Speaker Mike Milburn says, the state is "getting known for the wrong reasons."Gov. Susana Martinez said during her campaign that she'd like to see the Lynn and Erin Compassionate Use Act repealed. Smith's measure was introduced in Santa Fe on Thursday. Looks like the bill.... |

| The Cannabis Closet: Pain Or Unemployment? |

| I live in Northern California, and I voted Yes on Proposition 19. I smoked a little cannabis when I was in my late teens and early 20s, back in the late '70s. It didn’t make me want to try other, more potentially dangerous illegal drugs. In fact, because I was a student and broke most of the time, I rarely could afford to buy it (and frankly, I was too naive to know easily how to get it). For me, it was like having an occasional glass of very nice wine, usually durin.... |

| After 12 years, it's pretty clear that Pickathon has hit its stride. It's found the perfect balance of not being too big or crowded, but still significant enough to attract really strong acts. Even better, many of the bands play several times over the course of the weekend, on different stages. So it is that you could see Bonnie "Prince" Billy or Langhorne Slim in both the Shire-like realm of the Woods Stage on Saturday night, as well as on the sprawling lawn in front of .... |

| The liquid inside the test tube is neon green, the color of lime Kool-Aid or the mad-scientist potions found only in comic books. Perhaps it's fitting, then, that the contents come with a whiff of danger. They are a mixture of marijuana and solvents, stirred together in a furious swirl by a lab technician wearing protective goggles and latex gloves. Running the concoction through a $70,000 machine, the technician can learn with scientific precision the plant's unique che.... |

| Under prohibition, there is more "harm" from cannabis than there would be under a legal system. Decriminalization means some users won't go to jail, but the producers still will -- meaning they will continue to hide grow-ops in basements (when they should be growing in greenhouses, with safety standards and inspections) and organized crime will continue to profit from the prohibition-inflated prices.Making cannabis/hemp legal would ensure that gangs no longer control th.... |
