Hobby Growers, Medics and State Will See a Golden Harvest If State Votes to Legitimise Drug in US Midterm Elections
Syreeta Lux has a vision for her marijuana plants if voters decide to legalise the drug next week. She could market her product as a premium brand heirloom strains, raised pesticide-free, each bud cultivated with tender care. She might turn her land, located in woods so dense they block out sight of the nearby Pacific Ocean, into an upmarket tourist spot, like the Napa Valley vineyards. Maybe she'd offer her seeds to science.
"Not only could we be the Napa Valley of marijuana, we could be the Silicon Valley too. We could become a centre for medical research," she said.
Or she could open up her property to families on a day out bring the children to harvest marijuana instead of strawberries, perhaps. "My dream is to have a pick-your-own farm," she said. "Forget about cleaning, or harvesting. Let people take the green buds and go home. Wouldn't that be fun, the experience of a real marijuana farm?"
They will all be fairly realistic business plans if Californians vote, at the midterm elections on 2 November, in favour of a measure letting anyone 21 or older grow and possess marijuana, and allowing local governments to license and tax retail outlets selling it.
The measure, if it passes, would offer legitimacy to growers who for years have operated in a grey area of the law, and raise a potentially huge new revenue source for recession-hit states.
Calculating the value of a "grey asset" is notoriously difficult, but a recent report estimated California's marijuana crop to be worth about $14bn - seven times greater than the $2bn wine industry. Proponents of the measure say it could raise $1.4bn in taxes.
And, as so often happens in California, its ballot initiative, proposition 19, could set a national model for the control of marijuana use. At least that is the way Lux sees it. "When the Feds finally wake up, the country is going to go the way we are going - like gangbusters."
For the old-time growers, who have been growing cannabis in the remote hills of Humboldt county for decades, a yes vote could sweep away the traces of a renegade existence - though medicinal marijuana was legalised in the 1990s.
However, it could mean economic annihilation. People such as Lux are already losing out to a younger, urban, and more business-savvy generation of growers.
Kevin Jodrey, a well-known grower in the area, said: "It's a 50-50 split. Those that are for it see the possibility of a real future to take marijuana from the dirty backroom where it has been kept all these years and put it forward as a product that has many uses in different capacities, and sell it a fair price. For the other side, it is like, 'how am I going to survive?' The prices are going to plummet. But the reality is it was going to have to change."
Proposition 19 is among nine proposals put before voters this year under California's direct democracy system. Richard Lee, an Oakland businessman, who has been enormously successful in persuading the Oakland authorities not just to legalise pot but to tax it, presented the proposal. His network of indoor cultivation sites and dispensaries pay about $800,000 a year in tax to Oakland city council. When he put up $1.5m to fund the proposition, the Oakland authorities endorsed the ballot measure and approved a plan to build four vast indoor factories capable of harvesting more than 22kg ( 50lb ) of marijuana a day.
But surveys suggest that Californians, after initially embracing the idea of legal marijuana use, are now having second thoughts. A poll by the Public Policy Institute of California found support for the measure falling from 52% last month to 44%, with 49% opposed.
California's governor, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and political candidates oppose the measure, though Edgar Bronfman, a former chief executive of the Seagrams spirits empire, likened the measure to ending prohibition in a newspaper article last week.
However, even opponents of proposition 19 concede that full legalisation and taxation is inevitable.
"Marijuana, for all intents and purposes, is already decriminalised in California. At this point it is the same as a parking ticket," said Roger Salazar, a spokesman for the no campaign. But he added: "While legalisation may be in the offing, this initiative is so flawed, so poorly written, it is just not the way to do it."
California made the first move towards legalising marijuana in 1996 when the state first allowed it to be sold from dispensaries run by co-operatives in a non-profit-making way. Since then, 14 other states and Washington DC have legalised the cultivation and sale of medical marijuana. A Denver alternative weekly, Westword, even has a medical marijuana reviewer. And last month Schwarzenegger lessened the penalty for possession to a $100 fine with no criminal record.
But in the absence of full legalisation it makes for a strange double life. When Lux comes into town, to lobby the local government, as president of the Humboldt Medical Marijuana Advisory Panel, she dresses with triple strands of pearls. Then she returns to the homestead to work in her drying shed, where strands of marijuana with names such as Purple Jesus and Great White Shark are dried out on coathangers.
It is the same across the so-called Emerald Triangle - northern Humboldt, Mendocino and Trinity counties - where marijuana, while still not entirely legal, is a huge prop for the local economy.
Adverts on radio stations promote hydroponic growing systems. Gardening megastores have basil plants in the window but they are invariably stocked with the powerful lights needed to grow marijuana indoors.
At the Humboldt Patient Resource Centre, operating out of a small converted home near Arcata's main street, they see about 100 customers a day turning up with a doctor's note to buy $40 bags of marijuana or edibles: brownies, lozenges, pecan pie. Mary Ellen Jerkovich, the director, has a nutritionist on staff and offers tai-chi and zumba classes at a separate facility. She would like to build the place into a wellness empire, and maybe get tax-exempt status. It is likely the local government would support the venture, she said.
At a meeting last week, the Humboldt county board of supervisors came out in support of proposition 19. "This is our economic future to some extent," Bonnie Neely, a board member said. "We can't ignore that."
But critics argue that the measure would create legal chaos and confrontation with the federal government.
The measure suggests each of California's local authorities develops its own set of rules and tax system on marijuana. It will also elevate marijuana use to a civil rights issue, making it illegal for employers to drug-test employees.
The Obama administration has already stated that it will not tolerate any new moves towards legalisation.
The attorney general, Eric Holder, warned that the federal government would continue to prosecute people who grew and sold marijuana, even if Californians voted for legality. The legal limbo has even established businesses, such as Jerkovich's, worried. "If this one goes through I just see a potential for huge problems," she said. "I personally do not want to deal with any more legal mumbo jumbo."
And it could spell the end for growers such as Lux. In interviews Lee has been scathing of Lux and her contemporaries, describing them as "a bunch of hippies, peace and love, sharing their bud together, like a Coca-Cola commercial".
Now, for Lux, after more than 30 years in Humboldt, living for a long time with no electricity, toilets or phone, and with the prospect of police arrest by raiding parties in helicopters, after raising children and grandchildren and paying her taxes, there is the reality of her back-to-the-land movement having run its course. She is not only stepping into full daylight, but plunging headlong into market capitalism.
"I believe the future for the small farmer is in connoisseur-grade marijuana," said Lux. "Everyone knows there is a difference between a $600 bottle of wine, and a $20 bottle of wine, and a $2 bottle, and that is what we are going to have do to survive - we are going to have to market our quality."

21. October 2010-San Diego, CA, United States
San Diego, CA:Connections in cannabis can offset some of the negative effects of alcohol on the adolescent brain, according to the clinical trial data published online by The Journal of Studies on alcohol and drugs.
Investigators at the University of California in San Diego assessed Cognitive performance of 130 teenagers (65 with the history of heavy marijuana use and 65 does not use marijuana controls), ranging in age from 15.7 to 19.1 years. Authors reported that the use of marijuana seemed to moderate the negative effects of alcohol on the verbal learning and memory.
Researchers determined, "regression models revealed larger alcohol hangover symptoms predicted worse verbal learning and memory scores for non-marijuana users, but alcohol hangover symptoms were not connected with the performance among marijuana users."
They concluded: "results confirm earlier studies linking adolescent heavy drinking for reduced their verbal learning and memory performance. However, this relationship is not seen in young people with similar levels of alcohol involvement, who is also heavy users of marijuana."
A previous study published in the 2009 reported that binge drinkers, who also used cannabis experienced significantly less white matter damage in the brain when compared with topics that are consumed alcohol alone.
"Binge drinkers, who is also using marijuana does not show as consistent a divergence from non-users, as did the Group binge drink only," concluded investigators. "[It is] impossible to marijuana may have some of the neuroprotective properties in mitigating alcohol-related oxidative stress or excitotoxic cell death. "
Commenting on the results, NORML Deputy Director Paul Armentano, said, "alcohol and cannabis has apparently contrasting effects on the human brain," he said. "Ethanol is clearly toxic to healthy cells and developing countries, while moderate doses of cannabinoids seem to be relatively non-toxic and possibly even neuroprotective ".
For more information, please contact Paul Armentano, NORML Deputy Director, at: paul@norml.org.fuld text in the "Learning and memory performances in adolescent users of alcohol and marijuana: interactive effects" appears in The Journal of Studies on alcohol and drugs.

Norml.org FB: economic benefits can Sway Californians to legalize marijuana

Sales tax revenue under robust economic Times unreadable against the fear of ' Ganga Madness ' If Laws Relaxed
Gripping his lighter in one hand and a blue bubbler pipe in another, David Goldman is leaning forward on her living room sofa and begins to medicate.Pipe burbles has as he takes a long drag of the premium marijuana doctors recommended for his chronic pain and headache.He is waiting for a moment to exhale, savours the taste, and then release a long linjeopacimeteret of smoke in the air.
"," He says, "feels wonderful."
It is a feeling Goldman, 59, hope all adult Californians will be able to share--without fear of arrest or jail time--before much longer.
Fourteen years after California became the first jurisdiction in North America to allow the use of marijuana for medical purposes is the State of weighing a history-making ballot measure to legalize drugs for recreational purposes.
Proposition 19 which Californians want to approve or reject on Nov. 2, would allow anyone 21 years of age or older to possess up to one Ounce and grow up to 2,25 square metres of marijuana. it gives local governments authority to tax and regulate the drug cultivation and retail sales in the cannabis cafes or other outlets.
The proposal has again set the left-leaning California--which is only two years ago, went through a wrenching debate over gay marriage--on the front lines-U.s. culture wars.
Public safety first, the group leads no campaign offers 19, have raised a pot Garden in each California backyard and places of work rife with stoned employees ghost.
The Obama administration is also raise its hackles.
In a move aims to give California voters pause before the vote in favour of the legalization, U.S. Attorney General Eric Keeps recently announced the Federal Government would continue "vigorously Enforce" federal drug law prohibits marijuana whatever California voters decide.
"Proposition 19 do not want to pass, even if it passes," said Los Angeles County Sheriff Lee Baca, also promised continued enforcement.
Warnings came as the pace of legalisation in California seemed to build. Despite opposition from virtually all the major political figure in the State found a public policy Institute of California poll in September, 52 percent of the voters backed offers 19.
In the wake of the farmer's message found a PPIC study released this week, support had declined sharply to 44 percent.
' There is some potential for confusion that gets created on the California actually do, have the right to pass prop 19, which it is not, "says Stephen Gutwillig, California state Director for the Drug Policy Alliance, a defence group will support the Yes on 19 campaign.
"There may be people who now have a question about whether or not the Federal Government just simply can invalidate the election."
Other critics of quotes 19 say ballot measure an unmanageable mess, which creates a patchwork of regulations in the counties and cities and towns across the State. in an editorial headlined ' no ' to hilda Madness denounced the San Diego Union-Tribune this week initiative as "an invitation to law enforcement chaos."
For fans of the quotes 19 is the legalization of marijuana, however, an idea whose time has come.
Even as legislators and editorialists fight proposal, Yes on the 19 campaign built a diverse and somewhat surprising coalition of backers--including the State's largest Labor union, an array of former police chiefs and civil right groups such as the National Association for the Advancement of colored people.
"I believe the passage of prop 19 will be a tipping point," says Goldman, a patients ' rights activist who believe that the majority of Californians will no longer accept they fall into heaven is predictions anti-marijuana movement.
In the no-campaign arguments belong Goldman echoes of the debate in 1996 over medical marijuana.
"The trøde world would be a end-of-children would be helplessly seduced into marijuana; the driving fatality rate would be jointly and severally liable, and all lay out gets stoned the whole time," he says.
"And Lo and behold, there just hasn't happened."
Many of the arguments pro-legalization know: that marijuana is less dangerous than alcohol or tobacco and law enforcement to precious dollars are squandered on enforcing minor infringements.
The often quoted statistics? in 2008, there were arrests for misconduct 61,000 marijuana possession in California, while 60,000 violent crime went unresolved.
"To spend a single dollar no locking up of cannabis just think is not comfortable to me," says Julia Negron, retired specialist who joined a dependency group of California mothers support Yes at 19 campaign.
' It is insane--Why would we ever make it To dollar? should go to education. To dollar should go to treatment That dollar. should go everywhere, but the prison system. "
On this point, outbound California gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger agree seems. Earlier this month, Schwarzenegger signed legislation to make the possession of an Ounce of marijuana, a violation rather than an offence--put a violation on par with receive a parking ticket.
For all the focus on the traditional arguments for and against the legalization of marijuana, the passage of quotes 19 rest on the Yes campaign's ability to convince the voters, it is the fiscally responsible for California to do.
With the State of desperate new sources of revenue to tackle a $ 19-billion annual deficit, fight the legalization supporters, taxation and regulation of marijuana would give a much-needed infusion of cash.
Marijuana production currently generates $ 14 billion a year in the State and the pro-legalization human rights defenders argue the State could collect up to $ 1.4 billion in additional taxes by regulating its production.
Other vision California becomes a destination for tourists with marijuana Bay Area and northern Humboldt County, which is where most of the State's crop is grown--as the natural hubs.
In July, the licensing of four Oakland marijuana factories to sell pot wholesale for medical marijuana dispensaries. a local pot entrepreneur, Richard Lee, have opened Oaksterdam University trains students in cultivates and sells marijuana.
' I think Bay Area will develop into a Mecca in the direction of Amsterdam, "says Chris Conrad, a veteran Californias marijuana battles and a member of the Yes on 19 Steering Committee.
