US District Court Rejects Marijuana Rescheduling Petition

January 22, 2013 – Jon Gettman, head of the Coalition to Reschedule Cannabis, reports that the US Court of Appeals has turned down our appeal of the DEA’s rejection of our cannabis rescheduling petition.

This means that advocates must go directly to Congress and the administration to reverse the DEA’s ongoing blockade against research and development of medical cannabis.

“Never underestimate the extent to which federal courts will grant supremacy to the government with regards to drug policy,” said CalNORML director Dale Gieringer.…

UPDATE January 29, 2014 – The Board voted in an outdoor ban, to take effect in 30 days, overriding the Planning Commission’s recommendation to allow outdoor grows on larger parcels. Read more.

UPDATE January 16, 2013 – The Shasta Board has established a medical marijuana advisory committee, and expects to take up the issue again sometime in mid-February.

January 15, 2013 – This morning at its Board of Supervisors meeting, Shasta county’s board will consider a resolution setting in motion a ban of outdoor cultivation of medical marijuana, as well as making violations of the ordinance a $1,000 misdemeanor fine instead of a $100 infraction.…

ONDCP ADMITS GROWING BY MEXICAN “CARTELS” IN CALIFORNIA A MYTH

January 3, 2013 – For years,  law enforcement officials have been blaming Mexican “cartels” for illegal marijuana growing in California’s national forests. For years, Cal NORML has told the press that there is no evidence of any organized “cartel” involvement  in domestic MJ production.  Rather, production is highly disorganized, with many teams of Mexicans – as well as non-Mexicans – working independently as hired growers for smaller scale, competitive, decentralized groups.

Finally, the Drug Czar’s office has acknowledged that the “cartel” narrative is a myth devised by law enforcement to help secure federal funding.…

CMCR Study: Vaporized, Low-Potency Cannabis Mitigates Neuropathic Pain

January 3, 2013 – Yet another study from California’s Center for Medicinal Cannabis Research shows cannabis to be effective for neuropathic pain. This one found that low doses of vaporized cannabis suffice.  

The evidence is now compelling that cannabis deserves serious consideration as a first-line treatment for chronic neuropathic pain.  Despite this, Cal NORML continues to receive complaints from pain patients who say clinics are denying them medical marijuana through abusive drug testing practices.

New Year Marks Centennial of Marijuana Prohibition in California

Jan 1, 2013: This New Year marks the 100th anniversary of the war on cannabis in California. In 1913, the state Board of Pharmacy led the legislature to pass a bill outlawing possession of “Indian hemp.” The law was the opening shot in a century-long prohibitionist campaign that has cost the state millions of arrests and billions of dollars in enforcement costs even while cannabis has increased in popularity and public acceptance.

California NORML is holding a conference to mark the occasion, “Cannabis in California: Ending the 100-Year War” January 26th and 27th at the Ft.…

Reported Drop in CA Marijuana Arrests: Less Than Meets the Eye

California NORML Release — December 11, 2012

Reported marijuana arrests dropped sharply as California’s new decriminalization law took effect in 2011, but the apparent decline is deceptive because it doesn’t count thousands of minor possession offenses that are no longer reported under the new law.

Newly released data from the state Criminal Justice Statistics Center show that misdemeanor arrests for marijuana possession plummeted 86% from 54,849 in 2010 to 7,764 in 2011.

However, these figures don’t include citations for possession of less than one ounce, which used to be counted as misdemeanors up through 2010 but are no longer counted under the new law, because they have been downgraded to infractions.…
