Interesting Marijuana Moments in 2015!!!

Attitudes about marijuana have undergone a rapid shift in public opinion, paralleled by few other trends in the U.S. Our recent data, along with historical figures from Gallup and the General Social Survey, reveal how views have shifted about the drug over time. Our most recent survey, conducted in March 2015, finds that many more Americans now favour shifting the focus of the nation’s overall drug policy. Here are six key facts about public opinion and marijuana:

Montana: Senator Wants to Ban Medical Marijuana

In January, Montana Senator David Howard, who is largely infamous for his anti-gay posts on Facebook, made it clear that his mission is to outlaw the state’s medical marijuana program.

This Howard’s proposal was an attempt to sabotage numerous patients enrolled in the program and many dispensaries. As a consequence, this would also destroy large economic growth that Montana has experienced from 2004 when medical marijuana was legalised.

It was discovered that deputy with Florida’s Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office was using an anonymous message board with details on how to plant drug evidence on innocent citizens to other cops.

This information was dig up by DC Post and show how much this kind of evil schemes are a significant part of the drug war profitability in the U.S.

It is more than obvious – marijuana critics are very low on good-quality arguments against smoking weed, so they start with some rather bizarre conclusions. During a two televised attacks on pot, we could hear some really interesting stuff.

For example, while being on Fox & Friends, Dr David Samadi claimed that marijuana is not the low risk like previous studies prove and also said: “we have crack babies coming in because pregnant women are smoking this whole marijuana business”. On the other hand, the second attack was initiated by Pat Robertson, televangelist, who said pot users are “slaves to a vegetable”. Funny, we know.

There was a huge media interest in April on an internal affairs investigation after the appearance of a video that shows Virginia Beach police officers abuse kids due to suspicion of marijuana emerged online.

In this video, it is visible that one cop used a ton of pepper spray on an obviously scared kid, along with high-powered Taser. Then, the officers tried to delete the footage, the report suggests.

Security camera video appeared in June, a month after the raid on Santa Ana dispensary was done. The incident that happened, discovered on the video, was not a pretty scene at all.

It appears that police officers were consuming marijuana brownies and were making jokes about kicking one of the activists and patient called Marla James, an amputee confined to a wheelchair, in her “fucking nub”.

A ban on a Wikipedia page for “charas,” a type of hashish, was ordered by Russia’s government agency that oversees media, due to it violating Russian laws banning websites that contain drug-related material. Wikipedia did complied with these demands, but only to avoid having the entire online encyclopaedia blocked.

The hearing between state and local officials on whether the city of Wichita should be allowed to implement an ordinance passed in 2014 for pot possession or not went quite interesting.

During the hearing, Kansas Supreme Court Justice Eric Rosen compared decriminalisation to lessening the penalties for sex crimes. Luckily, this ridiculousness was overturned by the Wichita city attorney Sharon Dickgrafe.

Michigan law enforcement agencies and prosecutors have created a nasty scam in order to accomplish sending more people in prison for weed.

Prosecutors have used the state’s medical marijuana law to adjust their policy on the way THC is recorded, all that to switch misdemeanour charges for pot possession to felonies. This update in policy allows the Michigan State Police Forensic Science Division to treat marijuana edibles and oils as a synthetic form of THC – a felony.

Donald Trump’s behaviour and statements really do ask for WTF response, but even with such thing in our minds we get astonished. How? Well, he trolled Jeb Bush for admitting to smoke pot as a teen. Not only this is stupid action, but a bad political move considering high improvement and support in marijuana legalisation lately in the U.S.

Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson is also known for having ridiculous statements, but his comment about drug abuse was quite a surprise.

He explained, after being asked about “human side” of addiction, that it occurs in vulnerable people and linked that to political correctness. It does not make any sense, we know.
