Santee, Calif. — A Santee Pastor who had been found guilty of selling hundreds of pounds of pot has been pardoned by President George Bush.
In what certainly seems baffling to Marijuana Advocates everywhere, President Bush has pardoned a SoCal Pastor for his 1996 conviction for selling/dealing marijuana. Anthony Foglio Jr. an associate pastor at the Sonrise Community Church received his pardon this week. Anthony was quoted as saying “It’s God’s mercy. It’s an undeserved gift.”
Foglio wasn’t a pastor when he sold hundreds of pounds of the drug. Apparently if you find god … George Bush thinks you deserve forgiveness …

In a thinly veiled attempt to adopt an American policy towards drug control Prime Minister Stephen Harper and his “Conservative” government are leading Canada, yet again in a direction it would rather not go.
Conservative Prime Minister Stephen Harper is calling for a cultural shift with Bill C-26, to be enforced by what his political opponents are calling an American-style war on drugs. He has introduced legislation that would set mandatory minimum jail sentences for marijuana growers and traffickers, and he is seeking more money for enforcement and prosecution.

The White House Office of National Drug Control Policy, or ONDCP, is warning U.S. health and safety organizations that “We cannot allow our young people to once again be victimized by the ‘rave’ culture”
With blatant disregard for the cultural phenomenon known as “Raving”, ONDCP director John Walters quickly stuffed his foot in his mouth with the above statement by equating “Ravers” with being the dregs of society responsible for all of it’s problems.
Walters had been commenting on the recent news that Canada is once again a top importer for Drugs into the United States, this time it’s not weed. It’s Ecstacy, apparently … Ecstacy laced with METH! DUN! DUN! DUN!

In an amazing break for Medical Marijuana reform, A Colorado judge has ordered the return of former U.S. Marine and Gulf War Veteran Kevin Dickes Marijuana Plants.
You’ll remember Kevin from our story about the Veteran demanding his weed back. Yesterday he got his wish.
Aurora, Colo., police raided Dickes’ home in April and seized plants growing in his basement. He was handcuffed, arrested and charged with a felony count of cultivating marijuana, which carries a maximum sentence of six years in prison.
“It’s great — I need my stuff back,” said Kevin Dickes, 39, a Denver-area construction worker who left the Marine Corps as a lance corporal in 1993.

Boycott Marion Illinois, thats right …. Don’t move there, don’t shop there, don’t even think about driving through. Perhaps we could use it as a landfill?
In a flagrant abuse of authority and municipal legislation, Marion Illinois officials have now chosen to make it a crime to even possess rolling papers, or a bong.
Marion officials apparently noticed some marijuana smokers getting away with it. The Mayor of Marion, Bob Butler, ignorant individual that he is, says city officers are aware of what’s been going on and want to put a stop to it.
