That’s what one would hope, that the powers-that-be had the best interests of we average citizens at heart. Not so, where Portlander Paul Stanford is concerned. That rose-colored version of life in Oregon is far off, proven by the odd announcement recently by Attorney General John Kroger about his "big catch of the day". http://salem-news.com/articles/march212011/stanford-thcf_bk.php http://salem-news.com/articles/march212011/stanford-thcf_bk.php Mon, 21 Mar 2011 04:20:00 PDT The White House Office of National Drug Control Policy director Gil Kerlikowske wanted to fly to Seattle to speak personally with the paper's full editorial board after they ran an editorial supporting a bill to tax and regulate marijuana. Bruce Ramsey, the editorial writer, says the White House called “right after our editorial ran, so I drew the obvious conclusion... he didn’t like our editorial.” http://salem-news.com/articles/february282011/seattle-pot-kerlikowske.php http://salem-news.com/articles/february282011/seattle-pot-kerlikowske.php Mon, 28 Feb 2011 20:17:00 PST I guess most people understand the first two but how does Battle Fatigue get into the picture.

After the first year, there were about 1000 patients and they of the DHS contentedly settled back, “Well we were only half wrong”. http://salem-news.com/articles/january272011/mmj-permits-pl.php http://salem-news.com/articles/january272011/mmj-permits-pl.php Thu, 27 Jan 2011 16:20:00 PST Marijuana therapeutics, the use of marijuana as medicine, is probably the most reviled medical substance ever found, which is ironic to the extreme.
