Why Is John Stossel Always So Cynical?

We Caught Up With Him To Find Out

 

 

 

 

 

 

” Wondering how libertarians view the world? The Daily Signal caught up with John Stossel, host of “Stossel” on the Fox Business Network, to hear how the political perspective applies to controversial issues such as Ebola, the economy and drug legalization.

“ Legalization is not about moral implication,” he said while speaking on the issue of drug legalization. “We argue that the drugs are bad … but the laws against them creating the black market are far worse.” “

New Zealand Cat Makes Unwanted Cannabis Delivery

Cat Delivers Bag Of Weed To His Owner

 

 

 

 

 

 

” A cat in New Zealand has behaved in a very un-feline manner, bringing his owner a bag of marijuana and leaving it at the door. Police are now praising the furry friend for possibly helping them secure a drug bust as they dust the bag for prints.

  Local police say they are very impressed with the deed.

” You hear of cats bringing dead birds and rats home, but certainly in my career I’ve never seen anything like this before,” Sergeant Reece Munro told the local Otago Daily Times. “I guess you never know who’s keeping you honest these days, do you?”

  At around 6pm on Sunday in Ashmore, the cat brought home 5 grams of pot in a bag, shocking its owner, who wanted nothing to do with the find and called the police immediately, saying there was a “bag of drugs” right at her door.”

Contrary To “Reefer Madness” Crowd , Marijuana Is A Helpful Exit Drug For Many Addicts

Marijuana Is An Exit Drug For Some

 

 

 

 

” A new study in Canada has found the reverse is true for marijuana: it is an exit drug. 

The study is in the journal Addiction Research and Theory.

“While some studies have found that a small percentage of the general population that uses cannabis may develop a dependence on this substance, a growing body of research on cannabis-related substitution suggests that for many patients cannabis is not only an effective medicine, but also a potential exit drug to problematic substance use,” the authors wrote.

The drugs cannabis users are fleeing include prescription medicines, alcohol, cocaine and other illicit drugs.”

Uruguay Takes Drug Legalization To New Highs

Uruguay Becomes First Nation To Legalise Marijuana Trade

 

 

 

 

” Uruguay has become the first country in the world to make it legal to grow, sell and consume marijuana.

  After nearly 12 hours of debate, senators gave the government-sponsored bill their historic final approval.

  The law allowing registered Uruguayans over 18 to buy up to 40g (1,4oz) of the drug a month is not expected to come into force before April.”

 

 

 

 

” The government hopes it will help tackle drug cartels, but critics say it will expose more people to drugs.

  Presenting the bill to fellow senators, Roberto Conde said it was an unavoidable response to reality, given that the “war” against drugs had failed.

The historic approval comes amid growing debate over drug legalisation in Latin America.

A group of former presidents and influential social figures, including Brazil’s Fernando Henrique Cardoso, Mexico’s Ernesto Zedillo and Colombian ex-leader Cesar Gaviria, have called for marijuana to be legalised and regulated.”

 

 

 

    Increased liberty continues to spring from the most unlikely places … even as it’s memory fades in it’s birthplace … For Shame America … For Shame

Is Marijuana The Wonder Drug ?

Harvard Study Says Marijuana Cures Cancer

” Researchers at Harvard tested the chemical THC in both lab and mouse studies. They say this is the first set of experiments to show that the compound, THC actually activates naturally produced receptors to fight off lung cancer. The researchers suggest that THC or other designer agents that activate these receptors might be used in a targeted fashion to treat lung cancer.

The only clinical trial testing THC as a treatment against cancer growth was a recently completed British pilot study. For three weeks, researchers injected standard doses of THC into mice that had been implanted with human lung cancer cells, and found that tumors were reduced in size and weight by about 50 percent in treated animals compared to a control group. There was also about a 60 percent reduction in cancer lesions on the lungs in these mice as well as a significant reduction in protein markers associated with cancer progression. “

For your consideration : Clearing the Smoke: The Science of Cannabis , an hour long PBS documentary , excerpts of which comprised the above video .

Uploaded on Aug 11, 2011

” Clearing the Smoke, reveals how cannabis acts on the brain and in the body to treat nausea, pain, epilepsy and potentially even cancer.

Extensive interviews with patients, doctors, researchers and skeptics detail the promises and the limitations of medicinal cannabis. Even though the video has an American perspective, marijuana use is illegal throughout many countries of the world for reasons that are not clear.

This video is important because it mainly investigates the scientific basis underlying the medical benefits of marijuana use instead of focusing on the social, political and legal hysteria that have been attached to it.

The paper mentioned in this video, Marihuana Reconsidered, was published in book form. The author, Dr Lester Grinspoon, is the world’s leading authority on marijuana. In this book, Dr Grinspoon examines — and debunks — many of the common misconceptions about marijuana.

School Policy Led To Trayvon Death ?

How a Miami School Crime Cover-Up Policy Led to Trayvon Martin’s Death

” The February 2012 shooting death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martion might never have happened if school officials in Miami-Dade County had not instituted an unofficial policy of treating crimes as school disciplinary infractions. Revelations that emerged from an internal affairs investigation explain why Martin was not arrested when caught at school with stolen jewelry in October 2011 or with marijuana in February 2012. Instead, the teenager was suspended from school, the last time just days before he was shot dead by George Zimmerman.”

Nearly 80% Of States Have Enacted Some Form Of Nullification

FEDERAL NULLIFICATION EFFORTS MOUNTING IN STATES

 

 

” An Associated Press analysis found that about four-fifths of the states now have enacted local laws that directly reject or ignore federal laws on marijuana use, gun control, health insurance requirements and identification standards for driver’s licenses. The recent trend began in Democratic leaning California with a 1996 medical marijuana law and has proliferated lately in Republican strongholds like Kansas, where Gov. Sam Brownback this spring became the first to sign a measure threatening felony charges against federal agents who enforce certain firearms laws in his state.

“The states created this federal monster, and so it’s time for the states to get their monster on a leash,” said Marbut, president of the Montana Shooting Sports Association.

The Supreme Court ruled in 1997 that local police could not be compelled to carry out provisions of a federal gun control law. But some states are now attempting to take that a step further by asserting that certain federal laws can’t even be enforced by federal authorities.

Yet states may never need to prosecute federal agents in order to make their point.

If enough states resist, “it’s going to be very difficult for the federal government to force their laws down our throats,” Boldin said.”

Did Tamerlan Slaughter His Pals In 2011 ?

 

Did Boston Bomber Cut Best Friend’s Throat? Fears Terror Attacker Was Behind Three Unsolved Murders

 

 

 

” His best pal was butchered in a grisly triple execution two years ago that police have to this day been unable to solve.

But Boston bomber Tamerlan Tsarnaev displayed none of the emotions of a grieving friend in the wake of the murder of Brendan Mess, according to those who knew him.

In fact, the 26-year-old vanished – leading acquaintances to now believe he was the brutal killer after finding out he was behind last Monday’s marathon bloodbath.

As Tamerlan’s brother Dzhokhar, 19, was last night charged over the bombing that killed three people and left 200 injured, one friend, known only as Ray, said: “At the time, none of us would have thought it was Tam.

“It was just so emotional and we thought someone else had done it.

“Tam wasn’t there at the memorial service, he wasn’t at the funeral, he wasn’t around at all.

“And he was really close with Brendan. That’s why it’s so weird.” “

… AND DASH CAM CAUGHT IT ALL

” Two women from Irving, Texas are suing state troopers and the head of their department in federal court after they say they were forced to endure an illegal and humiliating “roadside body cavity search” during a routine traffic stop, The Dallas Morning News reports.

The case is currently under investigation by the public integrity division of the Dallas County District Attorney’s Office and will go before a grand jury in January.

The dash-mounted camera on a trooper’s vehicle reportedly captured the entire incident on video. Angel Dobbs, 38, and her niece Ashley Dobbs, 24, say the unlawful search happened on the night of July 13 along a state highway.

Baby Steps … But Forward Steps

D.A.R.E., America’s Most Famous Anti-Drug Program, Will No Longer Talk to Children About Marijuana

 

 

 

” D.A.R.E., the national nonprofit that has promoted “Drug Abuse Resistance Education” to elementary, middle, and high school students since the early 1980s, will all but drop anti-drug material from its curriculum for younger students, according to a state chapter leader.

“D.A.R.E. America has determined that anti-drug material is not age-appropriate,” the state affiliate leader, who asked not to be identified, told Reason. “The new curriculum focuses on character development.”

News of a major curriculum change was first reported in early November when an elementary school resource officer in Kennewick, Washington told KNDU25, “The new curriculum starts as of December for us…it does not bring up the subject of marijuana at all.” (Marijuana is the only illicit drug that D.A.R.E. claims to have reduced the use of through its educational programs. Drug reform advocates have slammed D.A.R.E. for its characterization of pot.)

I emailed D.A.R.E. America’s headquarters in California on Nov. 6 (the same day Washington legalized recreational marijuana) hoping to learn more about the alleged curriculum change. I also emailed the head of the Washington chapter and the head of the regional chapter. I didn’t hear back from any of them.

Then late last week, a state affiliate contacted me to say that the Kennewick officer’s claim was true. “
