Illinois congressman Mark Kirk is introducing legislation that increases penalties for possession of "Kush" or any more potent marijuana.
U.S. Rep. Mark Kirk will call for legislation Monday that would toughen drug-trafficking laws regarding a highly potent form of marijuana, with penalties of up to 25 years in prison for a first-time offense.
So to kill you with this you would have to smoke nearly 1000 lbs. of it in a sitting instead of 2500 lbs. (as specified in the LD50 test for Cannabis)

This is MURDER, Period.
Putting someone in Jail for 25 years is Murdering them for 25 years.
Deuteronomy says that putting someone in Jail to get money is akin to murder as well. This is what the drug war is. These people claim to come in the name of the "prince of peace" who sets captives free.
But they are always beating the drums of war and figuring ways to lock people up. I'm confused?
Wouldn't treatment be the "christian" thing to espouse and not murder?
HYPOCRITES, DEN OF THIEVES, SNAKES, VIPERS, They are utterly deceptive at their core and seek to enslave and dominate others freedom like their father the DEVIL.
Sphincters like Mark Mirk..are INTRUSIONIST.
It is They who started intruding into others personal lives and bodies.
They drew "First Blood." They have no no more moral authority than the Sheriff in First Blood who screwed with Rambo because he was a "vagrant". Pot smokers are the new "vagrants". The new subclass to discriminate and hate.
They can't hate gays, blacks, and mexicans openly so they pick on sick people and a subculture. What you resist you strengthen, EVERY FORCE has a Counter Force. ALL Violence, no matter how well intentioned ALWAYS rebounds on itself.
Obama wants to Regulate Health Everything.
Republicans like Mark Mirk want to Regulate Everything Plus URINE.
I guess it is because urine comes out of the closest orifice to Mark Mirks dwelling place The Colon. Because everything out of his mouth has the stench of feces.
This is the same Mark Kirk
This is the same Mark Kirk who just told the Chinese govt not to take any more of the US govt's debts. Kirk (being a Republican) didn't tell the Chinese this during 8 years of W selling China our debt, he waited five months into a Democratic Administration to do it. In essence, he was willing to damage his own country in order to embarrass Obama. He actually bragged on TV of committing this bit of incivism.
Now to try to rehab his own reputation, he comes along as a crimefighter against the Drug Scourge. Which drugs? Meth? Crack? Designer Drugs? -- No, they're all produced in his homestate of Illinois.
He's picked a form of marijuana with special medical promise. One that hasn't been associated with serious crime. One that competes with the drugs produced by his homestate. And he's attached a sentence so severe that suspects might be willing to kill in hopes of avoiding prosecution!
Well, well, isn't this 'timely legislation'. Let's see. Just
when Marc Emery has announced his cross Canada 'Tour' bringing awareness of how prohibition of 'natural' drugs are responsible for the gang violence, not just in prisons, but when they come out in our cities and neighborhoods making it unsafe for all.
He will also point out 'who benefits' from prohibition.
I do not believe for one minute this legislation, 'out of nowhere', is just an innnocent 'co-incidence'.

I would be willing to try and smoke 1000 pounds in one sitting.
Just as a scientific experiment, of course.
Even if it did kill me, I would probably be to stoned to notice.
(What a way to go.)

kush cops
more cops acting like dr's and scientist. it's getting harder and harder for the cops to hide behind the old excuse "cop's don't make the laws, if you don't like it change the law (and then we will ignore it).
County Sheriff Mark Curran.
"When you amplify the strength of it, you are increasing the harm to the system," said Curran, who supports the legislation, which would amend a federal law."
i guess the sheriff is against doctors prescribing fda approved marinol, drabinol, cannador, cannabigerol pills (synthetic pharmaceutical THC) due to the "increased harm to the system".
talk about a nanny-state sheriff.

Encouraging all of you to
Encouraging all of you to use GradeGov.com. This site is fairly new and was promoted by Beck a few weeks ago, therefore it has taken on a partisan slant favoring Republicans which needs to be changed. You can grade them A-F, one per day and send letters too if you want.
Would be good to keep eye on the news particularly for Republican reps. and slam them on their neocon actions like this. If you write a letter be sure and check the box for 'public' display.

Decriminalize! Feds want monopoly.
Remember the statement on Ron Paul's desk, "stop thievery, the government doesn't like the competition". (or something like that)
Point is perhaps the "government" wants the monopoly on Kush.
And never forget, “Humans, despite our artistic pretensions, our sophistication and many accomplishments, owe the fact of our existence to a six-inch layer of topsoil and the fact that it rains.”

I just called him back to "suggest a few bills he could write"
Severe penalties for coffee drinkers. Outlaw twinkies. And publicy execute the parents of babies that cry in public. Then I threw in, "I knew he'd support these ideas becuase I just read his marijuana legislation"

To call this alledged Congressman a jerk would be a generous description. He wants to give out what amounts to life sentences to pot smokers, in a country where people convicted of manslaughter serve an average sentence of seven years.
And rape convicts serve even less....5.4 years.

The GOP struggles to find new ways to make itself irrelevant...
but they manage to pull it off AGAIN. I have this mental image of those "great minds" plotting: Cheney, Rush, Steele, in a dark, smoke filled room. Someone speaks: "Boyz, the 'More war, lots more war' platform is not bringing new recruits. Lets try the "Make pot even MORE illegal" platform, that will bring the youth screaming to the party!"
Larry Craig thinks about all those nice young men, and excuses himself to go to the restroom.
