US CO: Editorial: An Open Letter to AG Eric Holder

5 hours 58 min ago
The Gazette, 10 Mar 2010 - Dear Attorney General Holder: The Colorado Springs Gazette, Colorado's second largest daily newspaper, respectfully joins four Colorado politicians who wrote to ask that you rein in your Drug Enforcement Administration officers in Colorado. They've acted with disrespect for the voters of Colorado to undermine our state's constitutional right to buy, sell, produce and consume medical marijuana. Their actions have undermined sincere efforts by state and local politicians to achieve responsible medical marijuana regulation

US MO: OPED: Drug Prohibition: Just Say No

5 hours 58 min ago
Southeast Missourian, 07 Mar 2010 - I am grateful to Cape Girardeau lawyer John L. Cook for his op-ed piece against drug prohibition. It takes courage and clarity of vision. I have much respect for the Teen Challenge program and the individuals who are taking advantage of its help, as well as Dr. Jack Smart for directing the program. It takes gumption and faith. In his rebuttal to Mr. Cook, Dr. Smart was, however, substantively wrong in his assertion that this country has never been without drug prohibition.

US CO: Editorial: Listen to Voters on Medical Marijuana

5 hours 58 min ago
Denver Post, 08 Mar 2010 - We question whether state lawmakers have the authority to create a dispensary system. Why not put it before the voters? Medical marijuana legislation pending in the state legislature could legitimize hundreds of dispensaries, and we don't think that honors the intent of voters who approved narrowly drawn access for sick people. While state lawmakers may believe they have the authority to create a dispensary system for medical marijuana - that is, we think, a debatable legal question - we don't think they should. That is an issue voters ought to decide.

Wed, 03/10/2010 - 03:35
The Daily Sentinel, 08 Mar 2010 - Some people in Colorado, including Colorado Attorney General John Suthers, want the state Legislature to stuff the medical marijuana genie back in the hookah. Yes, Colorado voters approved Amendment 20 a decade ago to legalize medical marijuana, they say. But voters never envisioned the system that has sprung up, with medical marijuana dispensaries on seemingly every corner in many municipalities.

Wed, 03/10/2010 - 03:35
Denver Post, 08 Mar 2010 - The divisions between the pro- and anti-marijuana crowds at the state House Judiciary Committee meeting were already clear last week when the young man who described himself as a recovering heroin addict approached the microphone. As the man spoke about marijuana use leading kids to harder drugs and fears that medical marijuana from dispensaries would make it into teenage hands, the lines became even clearer.
