Well irony is best in plain sight.
The Salvation army was sent to scavenge the potfield.
The state is broke and there is a pile of money growing. Seems there would be ways for people to make money and pay money on the already enacted state income tax. Whats with all this legalize and tax B/S? If you make money then you may be legally obliged to pay a state tax its in the U.S. constitution 10th amendment states rights. Making Money, is making money. some company's sell bombs some sell prized plants. Destructive Battle Ships are a part of Maine's economy, and no one is trying to shut down that racket.
I like the idea of a salvation army, group of people the salvage things repair old vehicles keep old equipment operational and teach others how to use what we already have. In other news the Salvia Army was out teaching problematic kids that reality is a bitch. The Sativa Army purchased some prized afghanistan bud and donated it to the blind. |

WESLEY, Maine -- The harvest of a huge outdoor marijuana crop in Washington County continued on Thursday with 60 law enforcement officials participating.
No one has been arrested in connection with the grow operation and no one has been found on the property, Maine Department of Public Safety Stephen McCausland said in a release.
A law enforcement flight Tuesday led to the discovery of the outdoor marijuana-growing operation amid woods and swamp in Township 37, about 10 miles off Route 9 in Wesley. The release said that the site covers several square miles.
Investigators spent time at the scene Wednesday trying to identify the growers. Maine Drug Enforcement Agency Director Roy McKinney said in the release that two more buildings were found on the property.
They also harvested 500 full-grown marijuana plants on Wednesday. Some of the plants stood more than 8 feet tall. McKinney said that a larger marijuana plant would yield more than a pound each of marijuana.
The street value of a pound of marijuana is $2,000.
"We're talking thousands of plants," Maine Public Safety spokesman Steve McCausland said on Wednesday.
This month marks the end of the marijuana-growing season. McCausland said that when members of a law enforcement agency spotted the crop in a flight Tuesday, growers began to set plants on fire.
Seizure of the plants could last until the end of the week.
"This has the makings of the largest crop ever seized by law enforcement in Maine," McCausland said.
Members of the state fire marshal's office, state police, Maine game wardens, Maine forest service, Washington County Sheriff's Office, the U.S. Border Patrol and the federal Drug Enforcement Agency are helping the Maine DEA at the site.
The Salvation Army has set up a canteen on the site to help feed law enforcement officials.

A Pennsylvania judge pondered a very unusual question during a ruling issued Monday: When a former police officer stuck his male member in the mouths of five baby cows, did they enjoy “suckling” it, or were they merely “puzzled”?
“During a bizarre hearing there yesterday, a Superior Court judge dismissed animal-cruelty charges against a Moorestown police officer accused of sticking his penis into the mouths of five calves in rural Southampton in 2006, claiming a grand jury couldn’t infer whether the cows had been ‘tormented’ or ‘puzzled’ by the situation or even irritated that they’d been duped out of a meal,” reported Jason Nark with the Philadelphia Daily News.
Weighing the case, Judge James J. Morley reportedly asked: “If the cow had the cognitive ability to form thought and speak, would it say, ‘Where’s the milk? I’m not getting any milk’?”
Equating the act of putting a penis in the mouth of a cow with a human baby suckling on a pacifier, the judge reportedly added: “They [children] enjoy the act of suckling. Cows may be of a different disposition.”
The strained logic of such questions eventually led the judge to waive charges of animal cruelty against Robert Melia, a suspended officer with the Moorestown Police Department.
Story continues below...
Because bestiality is not illegal where the officer committed the acts, Melia was only charged with animal cruelty, leading the judge to determine what exactly constitutes cruelty in this case. While prosecutors called the act “a crime against nature,” Melia’s lawyer applauded the judge for sticking close to the letter of the law.
“I’m not saying it’s OK,” the judge said, according to the New York Daily News. “This is a legal question for me. It’s not a questions of morals. It’s not a question of hygiene. It’s not a question of how people should conduct themselves.”
“Everybody can laugh and think this is funny, but he never should have been charged in the first place,” Melia’s lawyer said in a Philly.com story. “A lot of judges will reach conclusions because it’s the ruling they want to make. Morley tries to get it right and calls it like he sees it.”
Melia and Heather Lewis, his girlfriend, are also facing charges of sexually assaulting three young girls while Melia was a patrolman. Philly.com added that Lewis is additionally charged with the sexual assault of a young male.
The owner of the cows, the Daily News added, was very upset at the ruling. |

Marijuana Bust Yields Catnip
August 4, 2005
Morning Sentinel
WATERVILLE—A cat somewhere might be in trouble with the law.
Police officers thought they had found a marijuana haul grown indoors—but when they searched a Silver Street apartment Tuesday morning, all they caught was catnip.
Catnip is an herb of the mint family. Scientists say it provokes a "high" for cats—but not humans.
Police went to Stefanie Glidden's apartment above Silver Street Tavern at 9:15 a.m., convinced that pot plants were growing on a window sill.
"I was in the restaurant at the time," said Glidden, 24, who works at Silver Street Tavern. "I was told by the chef that the police were at my apartment and they had a warrant."
Accompanied by James Richards, the tavern's co-owner and the building's leaseholder, Glidden showed officers her herb garden in a flower box.
"They kept asking, 'Where's the white plant pot?'" she said.
With Richards' cooperation, officers then searched the apartment above Glidden's—where they found catnip in a white plant pot.
Police said the search was the result of a mistaken tip.
Officers who went to check the window saw what they believed to be the illegal plant, according to Police Chief John E. Morris.
They then sought approval from the Kennebec County district attorney for a search warrant, signed by a judge.
"(The search) was done with professionalism, and nothing was damaged that I know of," Morris said. "I'm not sorry we executed a search warrant, but I'd be happy to talk to (those affected) to tell our side of the story."
Morris said the search lasted about a half-hour.
Richards and Glidden said they believe the search was the result of a police officer moving into an apartment across the alley from Glidden.
"The kicker is, if you go by the alley between the tavern and pawn shop, you cannot see (her window) from the road,' said James Richards.
Glidden is both amused and irate.
"There's an incredible narcotics problem in the city, and they're worried about catnip?" she said. "It sounds silly to me." |

Maine Marijuana Busts WTF?! (Maine)
Date: 2009-09-17, 12:18PM EDT
Reply To This Post
Marijuana busts are abound in ME. Snitches turning in their neibors, friends family etc. Tax payed Helicopters equipped with infrared cameras fly over everyone's property searching for the heat signature of illegal plants. Arrests are made, large values are discussed 300k for a crop. People go to jail and are labeled Felons leaving them with few choices in life to make an honest dollar.
Maine is broke literaly, Maine is out of bucks. Sales tax are down, jobs are evaporating, income taxes are late for many. The police, and helicopter pilots are still getting paid. Gas goes into the cruisers, the cruisers are washed and polished, raises for the police officers continue yearly.
Now lets figure this out. NH has plenty of money, there are many richies in Mass. Why are we not looking the other way on our Maine Marijuana growers and letting them make some money? With the money they make they will buy expensive toys, they will buy supplies at the stores, they will hire people to clean their homes, and watch their children. Another words sales tax will be payed, There will be jobs, money will flow into the economy.
Keep it a secret don't let anyone know that we are not going to turn in any more Marijuana growers, or dealers. Lets let the money flow into Maine. High Electric Bills from an indoor grow op? Whats the problem? the grower pays the bill which feeds the line men, and the customer service department. The dealer pays his cell phone bill, some buy a disposable phone (sales tax) and donate the old phones to the needy through many of the cell phone recycle programs. Many of the bills that the Marijuana people pay have taxes attached to them, and that should help Maine some.
Now the big one. Hemp... How long has it been used on this planet my friend? The oldest evidence suggests over 2000 years ago. It is also coincidentally when the first civilization arose. Hemp food is loaded nutrients, and protein. Ground hemp powder has as much protein as ground beef, and its fats are far healthier, plus you don't need a freezer to store Hemp. Hemp Paper doesn't require chemicals, Hemp can be made into plastics, clothing, shelter, etc.
Maine has the law to grow Industrial Hemp in Maine. The Federal Government disacknowledges the tenth amendment so no Hemp is grown in Maine.
Perhaps its time the sheriffs stop taking bribes from the feds and enforce Maine Laws. The federal government requires a sheriffs permission to operate in a states county. Usually this permission comes in the form of funding. We will give you $XXXXX.XX If you sign this document letting us operate freely in your county Sheriff. Now dont get me wrong there are occasions when the feds should be allowed to operate in a county, but when a state law says that something is legal and the federal law disagrees this is not one of those times.
I do not know what else to say. Growers don't share you secret with anyone, dealers keep plenty of sets of eyes, and a encrypted record of your transactions including date time location so that you can figure out who the snitches are.
Remain ever vigilant.

Police raid big plot of pot
Operation likely state’s biggest ever
By Sharon Kiley Mack
BDN Staff
TOWNSHIP 37, Maine — More than 50 law enforcement officers were in a remote area of Washington County Wednesday, harvesting marijuana plants in what could be the largest pot bust in Maine’s history.
The marijuana growing operation was discovered Tuesday, Maine Department of Public Safety spokesman Stephen McCausland said Wednesday.
“There are thousands of plants,” he said.
Law enforcement officials are estimating there are between 5,000 and 8,000 plants. At roughly $2,000 street value per plant, the marijuana could be worth between $10 million and $16 million or more.
The marijuana was found after a tip was left recently on the state police Troop J Web site and forwarded to the Maine Drug Enforcement Agency.
McCausland said that a law enforcement plane flew over the site Tuesday and apparently “spooked the growers.” He said they began torching either the crop or nearby buildings or both.
Two of three buildings described as camps were burned to the ground and the third had minimal damage. About a half-acre of land was also burned.
Because of the remote location and the dry conditions, Maine Forest Service personnel and firefighters and equipment were dispatched from the Forest Protection Division Central Region Headquarters and air operations hangar at Old Town’s DeWitt Field airport to help pinpoint and put out the fire.
When officers on the ground arrived at the scene Tuesday afternoon, no one was found on the property.
No one has been arrested. The investigation into who was growing the marijuana and who owns the land continues, according to police.
Long before dawn Wednesday, investigators were headed to the remote location near Horse Lake in Washington County.
McCausland said the crop was found in Township 37, about 10 to 12 miles off Route 9 in a remote, extremely wooded and swampy area. He said there were several plots of marijuana over several square miles and two to three ways to get to the property, although some of the access routes were gated.
McCausland said none of the crop was booby-trapped and no officers were injured.
On scene Wednesday were law enforcement officers from the Maine State Police, Washington County Sheriff’s Department, Maine Warden Service, Maine Forestry Service, Maine State Fire Marshal’s Office and the U.S. Border Patrol.
The officers spent the entire day securing evidence and harvesting the crop, which McCausland described as “5 to 8 feet tall, fully mature plants, ready for harvest.” The Fire Marshal’s Office was conducting an arson investigation at the site of the fires.
McCausland said this is likely the biggest pot bust in the history of the state with the next largest being 4,200 plants discovered in Aroostook County in the 1990s.
He said investigators will remain on the scene until the remaining crop has been harvested. It could be destroyed on site or brought to another location, he said. Some of the details of the investigation are still sketchy, he said, because the site has no Internet service and limited cell phone service.

Well the final letter from my Lawyer, said that he could help me expunge the felony when the 7 years is up. Im not sure if it is 7 years after probation or 7 years starting from the sentencing date. I would like to know more as well.
I found this on: http://criminal-law.freeadvice.com/criminal-law/felony_convictions.htm
Not every case can be expunged. Every state has its own requirements that have to be met before a criminal record can be expunged. Contrary to popular belief, records are not "sealed" automatically with the passage of time, but require the filing of a petition with the court requesting the expungement and stating the reasons you are requesting it and how you meet the criteria set by law. The procedure can take between three months to almost a year depending upon the Court and the severity of the case. The fees are usually very reasonable, in the neighborhood of $2,000 to $2,500.00, and include research, filing fees, the drafting of the Petition, and any Court appearances. If you are not versed in this area of law, or feel you cannot handle this even with doing your own legal research, a criminal defense attorney would be able to do this for you.
EDIT: I love how they say a fee of $2000 is reasonable. My Lawer had one of those BMW SUV things I guess it might be reasonable to him. |

| I did not know about any expungement law. Can you give more info? I do know you can petition through a lawyer for your right to own a firearm. Please post any info you may have on this subject. Thanks |

Hey, glad you found the videos helpful. I am trying to use my site to inform through any means I can. If you want to trade links let me know and keep up the good work. I think I am going to check out the hemp coffee. Thanks for the tip. Peace Pissedoffpothead.

Well, I am a felon because a paid informant who was also introuble turned me to into the NHDTF. 2 yrs probation are over. But I still have to have 7 years of good luck with the law before I might be able to get my felony expunged.
so I am basically receiving 9 years of ostracization for selling 14 grams of Marijuana.

I found this site looking for information about The Marijuana Grow find on September-26-2009 in township 37 washington county Maine. It lead to 4 videos on the PissedOffPotheads youtube account.
I took the liberty of making a playlist that plays all four videos. Link is here. http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=0399ED1E390891D9
It is the sign of the times when counties are letting go of deputies, and fire men are being laid off.
A law enforcement fly over Tuesday September 22 2009 led to the discovery of over 5000 Marijuana plants near Horse Lake in township 37 Maine USA.
Now 60 officers are working full time to Eradicate over 5000-8000 plants. The job might be finished the weekend of 9-25-09.
I would like to hear other readers op-pinons.

Cameron and Child Pornography
James M. Cameron was an assistant attorney general for Maine, who prosecuted several important drug cases, when he is alleged to have possessed and transmitted child pornography images via the Internet. Prosecutors allege that between July 2006 and January 2008, Cameron uploaded child pornography to a Yahoo photo album using five different aliases.

Cameron was inndicted on 16 charges of trafficking in child pornography on February 17, 2009. He pleaded not guilty, and his attorney Peter Rodman said if there were images on his computer, Cameron was not aware of them. Authorities did not say if the images were on his home or work computer.Bangor Daily News: Ex-Maine drug prosecutor pleads not guilty to child porn (February 17, 2009)
Cameron reviewed several books on Amazon.com, including several true crime novels, a prison novel, a book about the rape and murder of an adolescent, and a digital camera.Amazon.com: Reviews Written by James M. Cameron RSS Feed (Hallowell, ME USA)
Quote
"If there ever is a case against Jim Cameron, I think it's going to be a textbook example of how you can get stuff on your hard drive you don't know is there. James Cameron has never knowingly possessed child pornography. He doesn't like child pornography. He hasn't solicited it and I don't think any investigation would ever show that."—Cameron's attorney Peter RodwayKennebec Journal: Attorney for fired prosecutor calls porn allegations bogus (May 3, 2008)

one of the few scientific developments likely to interest both the Governor of North Dakota and Method Man, scientists at the University of Minnesota have identified the genes in cannabis that allow the plant to produce THC. Finding the genes opens the path to either create drug-free hemp plants for industrial purposes, or to develop plants with much higher concentrations of the psychotropic chemical.
Publishing in the Journal of Experimental Botany, the researchers note that they specifically targeted the genes responsible for generating the drug-filled hairs highlighted in many a High Times photo spread. By impairing or encouraging the growth of those hairs, scientists could gain precise control over the level of THC in the crop.
This development has important consequences for both the medicinal and industrial use of hemp.

On the industrial side, states like North Dakota have been looking to change state law to allow them to raise hemp as a cash crop, for oil and rope production. The ability to create hemp that doesn't contain any banned substances would allow Dakotans to sow the crop without any changes in the law.
On the opposite end of the spectrum, precise control of the doses of THC found in pot could greatly enhance the medicinal marijuana industry. Currently, dosage is controlled through haphazard breeding and selection, not precise measurements as with most other medications.
It should also be noted that THC is not the only psychoactive compound found in marijuana, so more research is needed before the University of Minnesota scientists can completely control the potency of their crops.
Finally, how this new discovery will affect the pizza delivery business remains to be seen.

| Earl Johnson’s chosen one, Kevin Gleason, sentenced to jail. During a hearing before Superior Court Judge Peter A. Velis, former chief of police Kevin Gleason was sentenced to two years in prison. The jail sentence will be followed by three years of probation. Earl Johnson’s buddy Kevin Gleason admitted to three crimes; all three were larcenies over $250, one of which was by scheme. Gleason took more than $2,000.00 of cash that had been seized during drug raids and collected $1,600.00 as reimbursement for training he never attended or paid for. Photo by Dan Gould, Worcester Telegram & Gazette His guilty plea and the form of the hearing are consistent with the procedure whereby an accused accepts a deal offered by the prosecutor. There was no trial. Earl Johnson’s buddy will have to report to the Hampden County Correctional Center in Ludlow on Monday September 28. Part of the plea was also that Kevin P. Gleason will pay $9,934.00 in restitution to the town. According to assistant District Attorney James C. Orenstein, Earl Johnson’s companion Kevin Gleason admitted the following crimes: Gleason purchased firearms with taxpayers money and sold some of them and the ones he replaced with the new guns to licensed dealers and individuals. The funds he kept for himself. The Holland Blog reported about this exclusively in the piece, Ex Police Chief Gleason before Federal Grand Jury? His second crime he admitted to is a larceny of $650.00. The taxpayer of Holland paid for a conference that took place in Saybrook, CT. Gleason cancelled and kept the refund. His third crime was the theft of $2,190.00 from the evidence locker for which Gleason had the only key. The funds were seized by another Holland police officer in a drug arrest. The Holland Blog was informed about the incident by an anonymous reader and filed a public information request under the freedom of information act to obtain a copy of the report. After an initial refusal to produce the requested information, the Holland Blog appealed the decision to William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth, Public Records Division. On August 4, 2009, Alan N.Cote affirmed the decision not to produce a copy of the report stating, “According, to the records responsive to your request are part of an ongoing case, the disclosure of which would jeopardize said case, this office will consider your administrative appeal closed.” Click here to read the letter. Judge Velis punished Gleason with the maximum sentence of two years (if the $9,934.00 is a fine). Without a monetary fine, the maximum sentence would be five years. The question is whether the $9,934.00 is technically a fine or not, see M.G.L. c.266, s.30.

(CBS) Attorney Andrew Cohen analyzes legal issues for CBS News and CBSNews.com.Apparently, it was nothing personal after all. Apparently, it was strictly business all along.
After generations of defending capital punishment and marijuana possession laws on moral, ethical and religious grounds, after years of declaring that the death penalty acted as a deterrent against violent crime and that pot smokers were more dangerous to society than, say, alcohol consumers, all of a sudden thanks to our economic crisis more and more mainstream powerbrokers are considering dramatic changes to our criminal justice system.
The New York Times today has a late-arriving piece by Ian Urbina which posits that lawmakers in several states are considering abandoning the death penalty because it’s just too expensive and cuts into other law enforcement priorities. State officials are beginning to acknowledge that they can more productively spend their budget funds on cracking unsolved cases or ensuring better police protection than on keeping pot smokers in prison or fighting for decades with capital defendants. This, Urbina writes, is forcing a sea-change around the nation:
“Last year, in an effort to cut costs, probation and parole agencies in Arizona, Kentucky, Mississippi, New Jersey and Vermont reduced or dropped prison time for thousands of offenders who violated conditions of their release. In some states, probation and parole violators account for up to two-thirds of prison admissions each year; typical violations are failing drug tests or missing meetings with parole officers.
As prison crowding has become acute, lawsuits have followed in states like California, and politicians find themselves having to choose among politically unattractive options: spend scarce tax dollars on expanding prisons, loosen laws to stem the flow of incarcerations, or release some nonviolent offenders.”
This trend toward releasing non-violent offenders naturally begs the question: what about legalizing marijuana possession and lowering the drinking age? A California lawmaker Monday introduced legislation that would legalize (and tax) pot there. In Colorado, as seen this past Sunday on 60 Minutes, the police chief in Boulder (which houses a raucous University of Colorado) made a compelling case for saving money by reducing the drinking age from 21. Better to have police officers tracking violent crime, the argument goes, than writing tickets for college kids who are going to drink no matter what.
These declarations, from the political and legal arena, are not just isolated voices shouting into the wilderness. Consider the late, great Milton Friedman, the Nobel Laureate, former Reagan advisor, and esteemed scholar associated with the very conservative Hoover Institution. He was among hundreds of important economists who argue that pot should be legalized and taxed - and that the income from such taxation could generate billions in new revenues and billions more in enforcement savings. If you live in California, what would you rather have? Pot smokers whose cases are tying up the legal system? Or better health care and roads thanks to a marijuana tax. I’m just asking the question-and others are too.
Friedman and his colleagues first made these arguments years ago - before the economy tanked. Is it time to take his view more seriously with states facing huge budget shortfalls that threaten to curtail vital projects and policies? It is such a great leap from releasing prisoners from prison early to save money and not sending them there at all to save more? I would suspect a survey of police officials and prosecutors, and a survey of state budget officials, would indicate that the matter is being taken more seriously today than it ever has been.
It’s not my place to advocate anything - so please don’t write and accuse me of being Cheech or Chong. All I am saying is that the economic case for legalizing marijuana, and for lower the drinking rate, is as compelling as it has ever been and that, in a time of great changes in the interaction between government and the governed, it would not be the worst thing in the world to have a serious national debate on the topic. If we are going to lower state and federal budgets for criminal justice, if we are going to be emptying our prisons anyway to save costs, let’s make sure we do it in a way that maximizes the opportunities available to us.

High Troops,
There is a VOTE coming up in Maine this November. The MMPI has gotten a question up for vote that sounds like it will be good for the Maine Medical Marijuana Patients. This is not the case. The question asks simply if you are in favor of expanding the accepted uses for medical marijuana and are you in favor of a medical marijuana distrabution system.
At first this seems like a no-brainer and you should vote "yes" but a "no" vote is called for in this one. What you don't see when you vote is the full scope of the laws and requirerments behind this proposed law change.
Here is a public notice from the Maine Vocals regarding this vote. The Vocals have a petition that addresses all the negative aspects of the MMPI petition. Their actions have been slowed by a series of events that include Don Christen, Maine Vocals Founder, being jailed at this time. We are still working on the public education on this issue as well as a petition to fix the wording on this not so well worded petition.
It is easier to pass a law than to fix one, as the Drug War has shown us, so lets not vote in a bad law in Maine. Please educate yourself to the two existing petitions and vote as you see fit.
Thank you.

PUBLIC NOTICE from Maine Vocals
MAINE MEDICAL MARIJUANA ACT to HURT MORE THAN HELP
MAINE’S EXISTING MEDICAL MARIJUANA LAW. WHY???
1. Puts DHS in charge of the ACT. (Same DHS that takes children away from parents for use of marijuana)
2. Creates ID Card System (Maine rejected the Feds real ID and we see problems with this)
3. Sets up Dispensaries (Under DHS) Cost $5000.00 for a state permit or license and needs county and town approval with unknown fees and regulations.
(We are in favor of a distribution system, but not this)
4. Felons are excluded from being caregivers even if charges stemmed from growing marijuana only. These are the people who have the most knowledge about growing marijuana that have committed no crimes of any other nature and are also some of the people who have been working to have the laws changed for medical marijuana.
5. Ads affirmative defense language instead of making it legal for patients.
There are several other reasons, but this is the top of the list. If you want to help, first get a copy of the initiative language and read it for yourself. Follow link below to read text of initiative. (http://www.mainepatientsrights.org/Petition%20MEDI
CAL%20MARIJUANA.pdf/) Don’t blindly vote for this without knowing what you are voting for. Most of us want a good medical marijuana law that works for the people of Maine, but we need a good one that will actually work. It needs compassion and common sense which has been left out of the language and Maine Vocals are working on a new initiative that does just that. Here are some of the things that have been left out of the current initiative we are voting on in November.
1. Authorization – by a diagnosis of an illness or symptom that marijuana may be beneficial in their therapy.
2. Protection for Doctors / State licenses if needed and requirement for Doctors to work with patients who request to use marijuana for there therapy.
3. Amount patient can possess needs to be increased. (Recommendation 3lbs)
( Feds provide 9lbs per year to their patients)
4. Amount of plants a patient can grow needs to be increased. (Recommendation 12 plants)
5. Equal protection for patients whether ID card system or not.
6. Patient and Doctor input on Board of Overseers of the Dep. that controls law. (Recommendation Dep. of Agriculture)
VOTE NO ON #
MAINE VOCALS / DON CHRISTEN Have discussed these problems during the drafting
of the initiative with the sponsors of it, Maine Marijuana Policy Initiative. Director, Jonathan Leavitt, received a grant from the Marijuana Policy Project from Washington, DC, who actually drafted the language for the Maine initiative. We told them it was not what Mainers wanted but they could care less. We believe the public should be aware of the chicanery that is about to take place under the guise of progress for medical marijuana and also that Maine Vocals / Maine Citizens For Medical Marijuana are circulating a petition to actually fix our medical marijuana law as shown above and another to end prohibition altogether
