Quote:
Cannabis was criminalized across most of the world in the early parts of the 20th century. The reasons for and approaches to criminalization vary from country to country, but the most substantial factor in global terms has been the influence of the drug policies of successive United States federal administrations, as embodied in the U.S. Federal Bureau of Narcotics, founded in 1930, and its successor, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, formed in 1973. Through these and other agencies, the U.S. government energetically lobbied both nationally and internationally from 1930 onwards for the criminalization of cannabis and its use, and the campaign was largely successful.
Before 1930, nearly every drug was legal. Some how our extreme policy managed to influence countries globally. What a fucking joke.

I watched a special concerning this same subject on Discovery one night. On the TV show they stated that (there was no such thing as the DEA at the time) a bereaucrat was put in charge of doing something about the extreme level of opium use by the average joe in the US at the time (alchoholic husbands wanted their opium-addicted wives off of the shit). Also, the more puritan-type wives wanted these easily obtainable drugs (such as cocaine and opium, as well as alchohol) to be placed out of reach for their loved ones. The pressure was on the man who was appointed to be the "drug czar" of that era. The women who were bitching about the opium, cocaine, alchohol and such also started bitching about the marijuana that was being "pushed" into their environments by the (usually musicians) "niggers". Although marijuana as a drug was the least that these women were complaining about, it was the the easiest for the "drug czar" to focus on eliminating.
That's what he did.
That man took the focus off all of those other drugs(the ones that are actually harmful to man) and started a HUGE campaign that focused on marijuana and its elimination. He did this so as not to piss off the suppliers of the "real" drugs coming into the US that were, at the time, a HUGE import that contributed to the monetary wealth of the United States.

if anybody was ever executed for marijuana in the united states, that would be the end of marijuana being illegal. the people would not stand for that, and the laws would change real fast.

If I'm not mistaken Mark Emery is the first person that could potentially be tried by a federal jury for "Drug Distribution" and face the death penalty. For you niteowl.

i agree, anyone can put information up, and the sources can be a 13 year old quoting some bullshit. it's good for making you think or inspiring you, but taking it all as truths is a pretty weak way to go about it.....

I think some kingpin from South America has already been extradited and tried here in America for coke before the Emery case even started. I'll try and dig up an article I read a while back about it.

Wikipedia writers often give citations to the sources of their data, something that things such as encyclopedias don't do.
If anything, that makes wikipedia even MORE credible than an encyclopedia.

Florida is the only state which allows a sentence of death for capital drug trafficking.
http://www.deathpenaltyinfo.org/article.php?did=144&scid=10
Quote:
Current Federal law (1994 Crime Act) sets the threshold for a possible death sentence for marijuana offenses at 60,000 kilograms or 60,000 plants (including seedlings) regardless of weight. The death penalty is also possible for running a continuing criminal enterprise that distributes marijuana and receives more than $20 million in proceeds in one year, regardless of the weight of marijuana involved.
Quote:
1994 Federal Crime Act (relevant section re: death penalty)
(1) an offense referred to in section 408(c)(1) of the Controlled Substances Act (21 U.S.C. 848(c)(1)), committed as part of a continuing criminal enterprise offense under the conditions described in subsection (b) of that section which involved not less than twice the quantity of controlled substance described in subsection (b)(2)(A) or twice the gross receipts described in subsection (b)(2)(B); or
(2) an offense referred to in section 408(c)(1) of the Controlled Substances Act (21 U.S.C. 848(c)(1)), committed as part of a continuing criminal enterprise offense under that section, where the defendant is a principal administrator, organizer, or leader of such an enterprise, and the defendant, in order to obstruct the investigation or prosecution of the enterprise or an offense involved in the enterprise, attempts to kill or knowingly directs, advises, authorizes, or assists another to attempt to kill any public officer, juror, witness, or members of the family or household of such a person, shall be sentenced to death...
The Federal Crime Act makes no reference to 60,000 marijuana plants. I think that Wiki needs more reliable authors. 
The 1994 Act allows for a death penalty sentence to be considered in cases where a felony has been committed while participating in an ongoing, large-scale drug trafficking operation. The Wiki quote demonstrates the author' disdain for actual legal research prior to posting an article.
