Why not call for the dismissal of Bonnie Dumass ?

[a] maybe the entire county is locked up for the average incumbent ……..

[b] and the average VOTING citizen is slightly right of Attila the Hun ……….

[c] resistance is not futile, but it is an up hill struggle! The five county supervisors are all older than dirt and a ‘term limits’ petition is under way. [Wish us luck!]

“…This country, with its institutions, belongs to the people who inhabit it. Whenever they shall grow weary of the existing Government, they can exercise their constitutional right of amending it or their revolutionary right to dismember or overthrow it…”

The cartels would be poorer, our public lands cleaner, and our children safer if we implemented a Personal Use and Cultivation Permit: $100 per year for a dozen plants. Split the proceeds between the States and the Fed.
It’s time to put the cartels out of business.
It’s time to let ordinary Americans grow a little marijuana in their own back yards.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE September 14, 200910:31 AM CONTACT: Marijuana Policy ProjectBruce Mirken, MPP director of communications 415-585-6404 or202-215-4205 33 US Clinical Studies Show Marijuana’s Medical Use, Journal of OpioidManagement Article Says Contrary to Opponents’ Claims, Controlled Studies Have RepeatedlyDemonstrated Safety, Efficacy SEATTLE – September 14 – In a landmark article in the Journal of OpioidManagement, University of Washington researcher Sunil Aggarwal andcolleagues document 33 U.S. controlled clinical trials published from1971 to 2009 confirming that marijuana is a safe, effective medicine forspecific medical conditions. Under federal law, marijuana is classified as a Schedule I drug,defining it as having high potential for abuse, unsafe for use evenunder medical supervision, and lacking currently accepted medical usesin the U.S. “In fact,” Aggarwal and colleagues write, “nearly all of the33 published controlled clinical trials conducted in the United Stateshave shown significant and measurable benefits in subjects receiving thetreatment.” Additionally, the paper documents the growing acceptance ofthe therapeutic use of marijuana among organized medicine groups andestimates that “in 2008, approximately 7,000 American physicians havemade such authorizations for a total of approximately 400,000 patients.” Regarding abuse and safety issues, Aggarwal et al. write that withdrawalsymptoms — a classic symptom of drug dependence — are notably absentfrom the published trials, while “the vast majority of reported adverseevents were not serious … It is clear that as an analgesic, cannabisis extremely safe with minimal toxicity.” Unfortunately, the article continues, ignorance regarding marijuanaremains widespread in the medical community. “There remains a nearcomplete absence of education about cannabinoid medicine in any level ofmedical training,” Aggarwal writes. “This is arguably the most thorough review of the literature on medicalmarijuana since the Institute of Medicine report over a decade ago, witha trove of data that wasn’t available to the IOM,” said Rob Kampia,executive director of the Marijuana Policy Project. “It is simplyincomprehensible that a medicine that is so clearly safe and effectiveremains banned from medical use by federal law and the laws of 37states.” The article, “Medicinal Use of Cannabis in the United States: HistoricalPerspectives, Current Trends, and Future Directions,” is available athttp://tinyurl.com/m9oo44.

Was that a Freudian slip paulie? Or a conscious neo-logism? Either way, I’m gonna use that one in future.

Kubby’s whole point is that we can’t trust anything the DA says because the “law enFARCEment system,” especially with respect to drug laws, is based entirely on a nest of lies and distortion.

Also, I think Kubby is trying to appeal to the DA’s good nature, to the extent that it exists.

Why would we want to do that?
