Already, marijuana law reform legislation is pending (or has been pre-filed) in over a dozen states. To keep up to date with what&#8217;s pending, and how you can support marijuana-friendly reform measures in your state, please visit NORML&#8217;s &#8216;Take Action Center&#8217; <a target="_blank" href="http://capwiz.com/norml2/issues/">here</a>.</p>
<p>You can also stay abreast of 2012 statewide ballot initiative efforts, such as those ongoing in <a target="_blank" href="http://www.regulatemarijuana.org/about">Colorado</a> and elsewhere, via NORML&#8217;s Legalize 2012 Facebook page <a target="_blank" href="http://www.facebook.com/LegalizeIt2012">here</a>.</p>
<p>Below is this week’s edition of NORML’s Weekly Legislative Round Up — where we spotlight specific examples of pending marijuana law reform legislation from around the country.</p>
<p>** A note to first time readers: <strong>NORML can not introduce legislation in your state.</strong> Nor can any other non-profit advocacy organization. Only your state representatives, or in some cases an individual constituent (by way of their representative; this is known as introducing legislation ‘by request’) can do so. NORML can — and does — work closely with like-minded politicians and citizens to reform marijuana laws, and lobbies on behalf of these efforts. But ultimately the most effective way — and the only way — to successfully achieve statewide marijuana law reform is for local stakeholders and citizens to become involved in the political process and to make the changes they want to see. Get active; get NORML!</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>ALABAMA:</strong> The Michael Phillips Compassionate Care Act (<a target="_blank" href="http://alisondb.legislature.state.al.us/acas/ViewBillsStatusACASLogin.asp?BillNumber=hb25">HB 25</a>) which seeks to enact legal protections for authorized medical marijuana patients, has been marked for reintroduction in the Alabama Legislature for the session starting on February 7th. It is currently assigned to the House Committee on Health. A separate medical cannabis bill, <a target="_blank" href="http://alisondb.legislature.state.al.us/acas/ViewBillsStatusACASLogin.asp?BillNumber=hb66">House Bill 66</a>, has also been prefiled in the House and is also before to the House Committee on Health, while a third measure that seeks to reduce penalties on adult cannabis possession is anticipated to be introduced shortly. You can learn more about these efforts via NORML&#8217;s &#8216;Take Action Center&#8217; <a target="_blank" href="http://capwiz.com/norml2/issues/alert/?alertid=14572756">here</a>.</p>
<p><strong>INDIANA:</strong> Senate lawmakers <a target="_blank" href="http://www.chestertontribune.com/Indiana%20News/tallian_lays_groundwork_for_mari.htm">heard</a> testimony on Tuesday, January 24, in favor of legislation, <a target="_blank" href="http://capwiz.com/norml2/issues/alert/?alertid=60386581">SB 347</a>, to decriminalize marijuana possession penalties in Indiana. Lawmakers on <a target="_blank" href="http://www.in.gov/apps/lsa/session/billwatch/billinfo?year=2012&amp;request=getCommittee&amp;committee_name=Corrections%2C+Criminal%2C+and+Civil+Matters&amp;chamber=S#mem">Senate Committee on Corrections, Criminal, and Civil Matters</a> did not vote on the measure. Therefore, there is still time for constituents to contact their Senate members and encourage them to support marijuana law reform. You can do so via NORML&#8217;s &#8216;Take Action Center&#8217; <a target="_blank" href="http://capwiz.com/norml2/issues/alert/?alertid=60386581">here</a>. A separate House measure, <a target="_blank" href="http://capwiz.com/norml2/issues/alert/?alertid=60510506">HB 1370</a>, that seeks to legalize the use of cannabis for medicinal purposes, is pending before the <a target="_blank" href="http://www.in.gov/apps/lsa/session/billwatch/billinfo?year=2012&amp;request=getCommittee&amp;committee_name=Public+Policy&amp;chamber=H">House Committee on Public Policy</a>.</p>
<p><strong>KANSAS:</strong> <a target="_blank" href="http://www.kslegislature.org/li/b2011_12/measures/documents/hb2330_00_0000.pdf">House Bill 2330</a>, which seeks to enact legal protections for authorized medical marijuana patients, was heard by the <a target="_blank" href="http://kslegislature.org/li/b2011_12/committees/ctte_h_hhs_1/">House Committee on Health and Human Services</a> on Tuesday, January 24th.

<p><strong>NEW HAMPSHIRE:</strong> Members of the <a target="_blank" href="http://www.gencourt.state.nh.us/house/committees/committeedetails.aspx?code=H26">House Criminal Justice Committee</a> heard testimony on Thursday, January 25, in favor of <a target="_blank" href="http://www.gencourt.state.nh.us/bill_status/bill_docket.aspx?lsr=2231&amp;sy=2012&amp;sortoption=&amp;txtsessionyear=2012&amp;txtbillnumber=hb1705&amp;q=1">House Bill 1705</a>, which seeks to allow adults age 21 or over to use marijuana legally in their home.

<p><strong><i>Question by Mansfields Greatest</i>: I need a good topic about medical marijuana for my Research paper?</strong><br />
we must come up with three topics about our research but i need to know wat would be best to talk about on medical marijuana. </p>
<p>Pls and thank you<br />
Best answer 10 pts<br />
throw in pros and cons</p>
<p><strong>Best answer:</strong></p>
<p><i>Answer by Seidhr of Orlog</i><br/>The best things you can talk about are cancer because that is something that is not only proven, but has video evidence.<br />
Another good one is people in pain, show heart breaking stories of people who are in chronic severe pain and were about to die because of their medication until they found marijuana as an alternative.<br />
Stories of children with autism who were about to die on conventional treatment until they found marijuana as an alternative.<br />
Discuss the vast amount of highly credible researchers and their veiws of marijuana.<br />
Talk about how all the official studies done on driving and marijuana show that marijuana is not anywhere near the risk factor alcohol is and in a lot of cases made the driver safer than a sober driver.<br />
Discuss the success of China and how they have been using marijuana as medicine and documenting it for almost 5,000 years.<br />
Discuss the strain White Widow and what all of it&#8217;s medical uses are that are proven effective so far.<br />
Discuss the difference between THC and CBD and how tests suggesting that Marijuana causes psychosis were done with THC only and used no CBD at all. Other tests, knowing that marijuana is an antipsychotic and that sudden complete discontinuation of an antipsychotic causes symptoms of psychosis, had people use marijuana for long periods of time and then completely suddenly stopped their consumptioin of it and then tested them for symptoms of psychosis.<br />
These all seem like good points to me<br />
See my facebook page for more details, links, resources, names, pictures, graphs, videos and arguments.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Low level marijuana arrests in New York City <a target="_blank" href="http://blogs.villagevoice.com/runninscared/2012/02/nypd_arrests_fo.php">rose for the seventh straight year</a> in 2011 to 50,680. The arrest total is the highest total on record since <a target="_blank" href="http://www.infoimagination.org/ps/drug_war/articles/honest_politician.html">former pot smoker</a> Mayor Michael Bloomberg took office and it is the second highest total of pot arrests ever recorded in the history of the city (just 587 arrests behind the record holding year 2000, when Mayor Rudolph Giuliani oversaw some 51,267 people arrested for marijuana violations).<br />
<img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.legalbuds.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/96086__MJarrests.jpg" alt="96086  MJarrests New York City: Still The Marijuana Arrest Capital Of The World" width="560" height="399" title="New York City: Still The Marijuana Arrest Capital Of The World" /><br />
Shockingly, the near-record high arrest total comes just months after New York City Police Commissioner Ray Kelly <a target="_blank" href="http://norml.org/news/2011/09/29/new-york-city-police-commissioner-calls-on-officers-to-curb-marijuana-arrests">called on officers to cease</a> making marijuana misdemeanor arrests. Apparently, NYPD officers aren&#8217;t very good at listening to their commanding officer.</p>
<p>Of course, what is most troubling about these arrest figures is that under state law they largely shouldn&#8217;t be occurring at all. Since 1977, New York State law has categorized the possession of 25 grams of marijuana or less as a <a target="_blank" href="http://norml.org/laws/ny">violation</a>, not a misdemeanor crime. So then how are NYPD making so many misdemeanor pot arrests? By violating the spirit of the law, if not the law itself.</p>
<p>Rather than ticketing low level marijuana offenders, City police for over a decade have been taking advantage of a separate statute, NY State Penal Law 221.10, which makes it a criminal misdemeanor to possess pot if it is &#8216;open to public view.&#8217; According to <a target="_blank" href="http://www.wnyc.org/articles/wnyc-news/2011/apr/26/marijuana-arrests/">an investigation</a> last year by New York City public radio station WNYC, it was determined that City cops routinely conduct warrantless &#8216;stop-and-frisk&#8217; searches of civilians, find marijuana hidden on their persons, and then falsely charge them with possessing pot &#8216;open to public view.&#8217;</p>
<p>And what has been the result of these illegal &#8216;stop and frisks?&#8217; A <a target="_blank" href="http://www.drugpolicy.org/news/2012/02/new-data-released-nypd-made-more-marijuana-possession-arrests-2011-2010-illegal-searche">press advisory</a> issued yesterday by the Drug Policy Alliance lists the grim details.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8211; The NYPD has made more than 100,000 marijuana possession arrests for the last two years; nearly 150,000 marijuana possession arrests in the last three years; and more than 227,000 marijuana possession arrests in the last five years.</p>
<p>&#8211; New York City spent at least $  150 million in the last two years and has spent at least $  340 million in the last five years making marijuana possession arrests.</p>
<p>&#8211; In the last decade since Michael Bloomberg became mayor, the NYPD has made 400,038 lowest level marijuana possession arrests at a cost to taxpayers of $  600 million dollars.</p>
<p>&#8211; Nearly 350,000 of the marijuana possession arrests made under Bloomberg are of <a target="_blank" href="http://marijuana-arrests.com/nyc-pot-arrest-docs.html">overwhelmingly young Black and Latino men</a>, despite the fact that young whites use marijuana at higher rates than young Blacks and Latinos.</p>
<p>&#8211; In the last five years, the NYPD under Bloomberg has made more marijuana arrests (2007 to 2011 = 227,093) than in the 24 years from 1978 through 2001 under Mayor Giuliani, Mayor Dinkins, and Mayor Koch combined (1978 to 2001 = 226,861).</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Commissioner Kelly&#8217;s 2011 memorandum explicitly directed officers to stop charging defendants with criminal misdemeanors in instances where the contraband &#8216;was disclosed to public view at an officer&#8217;s direction.&#8217; Nevertheless, the record number of low level pot arrests appears to be continuing unabated. Most likely, it will take an act of law to stop this practice.</p>
<p><strong>Fortunately, <a target="_blank" href="http://capwiz.com/norml2/issues/alert/?alertid=46258521">bipartisan legislation</a> is pending in both the New York State Assembly and Senate to stop this disgusting, ongoing practice.</strong> <a target="_blank" href="http://assembly.state.ny.us/leg/?default_fld=%0D%0At&amp;bn=+A7620%09%09&amp;Summary=Y">Assembly Bill 7620</a> and <a target="_blank" href="http://assembly.state.ny.us/leg/?bn=S05187&amp;term=2011">Senate Bill 5187</a> reduce marijuana penalties involving cases where where marijuana was either consumed or allegedly possessed in public from a criminal misdemeanor to a non-criminal violation. Passage of SB 5187 and AB 7620 will save taxpayer dollars, protect New York City&#8217;s citizens against illegal searches, and reduce unwarranted racial disparities in arrests by clarifying the law and standardizing penalties for marijuana possession offenses.</p>
<p>If you reside in New York and want to end the City&#8217;s dubious distinction of being the &#8216;marijuana arrest capital of the world,&#8217; then <strong>please contact your state elected officials today and urge them to support SB 5187 and AB 7620. You can do so via NORML&#8217;s &#8216;Take Action Center&#8217; <a target="_blank" href="http://capwiz.com/norml2/issues/alert/?alertid=46258521">here</a>.</strong></p>
