I have friends (where I live in California) who had a kid 5 months ago.

:
The mother is an epileptic who has not required medication. The doctors requested she take seizure meds while pregnant.
:
:
The child was born addicted and when the neonatal blood test also turned up THC in her bloodstream they not only took the child for detoxing but KEPT THE CHILD claiming she was a multi-drug abuser... OFC due to the fact that they found not only the THC (which wouldn't have meant a damn by itself) but the DOCTOR-PRESCRIBED (read: demanded) phenobarbs.

:
They're STILL working on getting their child back and momma, and her daughter, have already missed one of the most important times of their lives together.

I hope the child grows up to stalk and kill CPS workers.
It’s “Earth Day”… Do us ALL a favor and DON’T DRIVE your smogger today. Fill the tires on your bike… oil the chain, and ride to the nearest 4-2-0 celebration.
Then raise your bong in victory!

"Panga-type vessel”… It sounds organized and “Oriental” and sinister but IT’S SIMPLY A SMALL OPEN V-BOTTOM BOAT like you’d rent at a marina or recreational wharf The persecution of Marijuana claims another victim… This time a USCG crewman."

No note on whether any quantity of pot was even discovered onboard:
Coast Guard officer killed by suspected drug smuggler’s boat Mon, Dec 3 2012
By Chris Francescani NEW YORK (Reuters) - A Coast Guard officer investigating a suspected drug smuggling boat near Santa Cruz (ed. island), California, was killed Sunday when the boat’s driver accelerated, running over two approaching patrol officers, a Coast Guard official said Sunday.
A second Coast Guard boat pursued the fleeing vessel, detained two unidentified suspects and recovered an unknown amount of marijuana from the vessel, Coast Guard Petty Officer Seth Johnson said… [In Full]
…and he’s doing it because it’s been statistically noted that Black and Latino males are soooo much more likely to go to prison in New York state because of profiling at the time of the pot bust which could become a VERY nasty federal lawsuit given the length of time this has been going on… NOT because he really cares at all about his state’s overcrowded prisons or the non-violent offenders of color who end up there.
The New York Times: New York Governor Andrew Cuomo has announced legislation to decriminalize the possession of small amounts of marijuana in public view.
The Times’ reports:
Advocates of such a change say the offense has ensnared tens of thousands of young black and Latino men who are stopped by the New York City police for other reasons but after being instructed to empty their pockets, find themselves charged with a crime.
Just more proof the Obama administration has lied about every single one of their campaign promises. So keep hoping for change… They LOVE that shit.
The more you hope, the less you do.
The feds raid Oaksterdam:
“About a dozen protesters upset over the raid gathered out front of the multistory building adorned with a large mural that makes the school one of the neighborhood’s most visible landmarks. The demonstrators held signs demanding an end to federal crackdowns on medical marijuana.
Oaksterdam University was founded by Richard Lee, the main backer of the California ballot measure defeated in 2010 that would have legalized marijuana in the state for recreational use. The neighborhood has also been home to several medical marijuana dispensaries, including one founded by Lee.”
A Message To #Occupiers Everywhere: "Ignore the loyalists, ignore the cynics, keep fighting ...... Shut them down. Shut the entire god damn system down. No one can stop this. I love you all." ~~Redditor Aniadrift
