Already Four States Have Marijuana Legalization Bills In Play; Californians To Vote On Legalization in 2010
It can readily be said that 2009 was one of the busiest and most productive years in cannabis law reform since NORML’s founding in 1970. However, it appears as if 2010 is going to be an even busier year–notably marked by the increasing number of actual state legalization bills and a voter initiative in America’s most important state.
Currently, there is legalization legislation pending in California, Massachusetts, Vermont, and a legalization bill was just introduced this week in Washington. Frankly, most of these bills do not have a strong prospect in passing this time out, Read the rest of this entry »

According to new poll, majority of Americans support marijuana legalization
Posted on December 11th, 2009 by Cam Wright (Dakta Bourbon) | Filed under Blog, Information, Legalization, News. No Comments »
(Angus Reid Global Monitor) – Many adults in the United States are willing to legalize marijuana, according to a poll by Angus Reid Public Opinion. 53 per cent of respondents support this notion, while 43 per cent are opposed.
Less than 10 per cent of respondents support the legalization of other drugs, such as ecstasy, powder cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine or “crystal meth” and crack cocaine.
The use of marijuana is illegal in the U.S. except in some regulated cases of medical use. The amount allowed for such purposes varies depending on the state. Some states have passed laws to reduce law enforcement for possession of small amounts of the substance. Read the rest of this entry »

Stay of Proceedings Application
Posted on December 10th, 2009 by Dakta Green | Filed under Cannabis on Trial, Featured, Legalization, News, The Daktory. 3 Comments »
I filed this application a few hours ago in the Auckland District Court. We go to court on December 21st 2009 to argue the merits. (I expect to win)
APPLICATION TO STAY PROCEEDINGS
May it please the Court;
1. My name is Dakta Green.
2. I am not a lawyer, nor do I have any special legal training. That said, I have chosen to represent myself in these proceedings because I seek to focus on my fundamental rights as a citizen, as opposed to any complicated legal arguments that may otherwise be advanced.
3. My application for a stay of proceedings is founded upon the following general propositions:
· Because of my pro cannabis beliefs I have been, and continue to be, subjected to “cruel or disproportionately severe treatment or punishment” in breach of section 9 of the New Zealand Bill or Rights Act 1990 (NZBORA).
· By denying me the right to possess cannabis, the State is subjecting me to “medical or scientific experimentation” without my consent in breach of section 10 of the NZBORA.
· I have been subjected to arbitrary arrest and detention in breach of section 22 of the NZBORA.
· Because the courts in New Zealand have not to date accepted medical necessity as a defence to any cannabis charges, my right to a fair trial under section 25(a) NZBORA has been breached.
· I contend that the current law prohibiting the personal use of cannabis is hopelessly outdated and plain wrong. This law is widely ignored and/or breached by members of our society such that the law should no longer be enforced by the courts of the land. This law is an “ass” and for the general good of the community it should be recognised as such.

Czech Govt Allows 5 Cannabis Plants For Personal Use From 2010
Posted on December 10th, 2009 by Cam Wright (Dakta Bourbon) | Filed under Blog, Information, Legalization. No Comments »
The interim Czech government, led by chief statistician-turned-Prime Minister Jan Fischer, Monday took another step towards making casual marijuana smoking a worry-free affair.
Fischer’s cabinet defined what constitutes “small amounts” of cannabis for personal use, clarifying the country’s new penal code that from next year decriminalizes cultivation and possession of the plant by individuals.
As of Jan. 1 ordinary Czechs can grow up to five marijuana plants or have several marijuana cigarettes in their pockets without fear of criminal prosecution. Previously what constituted a small amount was not specified and the police and courts loosely interpreted the penal code case by case, Read the rest of this entry »

Congress allows DC to implement 1998 medical marijuana law
Posted on December 10th, 2009 by Cam Wright (Dakta Bourbon) | Filed under Blog, Medical, News. No Comments »
From the trusted fellows at NORML.org
House and Senate negotiations for the 2010 Appropriations bill have been completed. This is the huge federal budget bill and it just so happens that Washington DC is a federal district and its spending is controlled by Congress.
In 1998, DC passed a medical marijuana bill overwhelmingly, but Congressional drug warriors led by Rep. Bob Barr of Georgia prevented DC from spending any federal money to count the votes Read the rest of this entry »

4:20 Roughcut: “4.20 To Dunsterdam”
Posted on December 9th, 2009 by Cam Wright (Dakta Bourbon) | Filed under Featured, The Daktory. 1 Comment »
4:20 Roughcut: “4.20 TO DUNSTERDAM” 42 Towns, 42 Days, 42 4.20 protests. In 2008 New Zealand’s most famous road vehicle, Maryjane the Cannabus, departed from Auckland after a 4.20 at Albert Park, and traveled from the top of the North Island to the tip of the South and back. Invercargill Mayor Tim Shadbolt, NZ’s most famous toker who stood for the Aotearoa Legalise Cannabis Party in the 1996 general election, was invited to the 4.20. Instead of coming down to the protest he had the law come down on the protesters…

The Secret to Legal Marijuana? Women
Posted on December 8th, 2009 by Cam Wright (Dakta Bourbon) | Filed under Blog, Information. 2 Comments »
In September, ladymag Marieclaire ruffled some feathers when it published a piece about women who smoke weed. But its most interesting effect was not the “marijuana moms” chatter it unleashed, and instead the fact that it brought to the mainstream media a more open discussion of the fact that women can be avid tokers, too.
Public acceptance of pot is at an all-time high, Read the rest of this entry »

Bill O’Reilly & Cheech and Chong on Legalization of Marijuana
Posted on December 5th, 2009 by Cam Wright (Dakta Bourbon) | Filed under Blog, Information, Misc. No Comments »
Bill O’Reilly has always been a typical conservative mother fucker, yet he seems to take a different stance in this clip of him interviewing Cheech and Chong. He spins the story to make the main issue about kids.
