Risks too great if Proposition 19 were to pass

Risks too great if Proposition 19 were to pass
Published by The Reporter
Posted: 10/23/2010 01:03:05 AM PDT
http://www.thereporter.com/opinion/ci_16414969

As chief executives of the law enforcement agencies serving all of Solano County, we believe it is critical that Solano County residents fully understand and appreciate the likely impacts of Proposition 19, also known as California Assembly Bill 2254, the Regulate, Control and Tax Cannabis (RCTC) Proposition, which California voters will be asked to decide on Nov. 2.

Based on scientific evidence, history and our experience, it is important that voters not assume that marijuana is a harmless substance and that its use is so widespread, it is essentially a foregone conclusion that people will continue to use it with little or no consequence.

Here's why:

1. We have made significant progress in fighting drug use and drug trafficking in America. Now is not the time to abandon our efforts. According to the U.S. Department of Justice, overall drug use is down by more than one-third over the past 20 years, while cocaine use has dropped by an astounding 70 percent.

2. Illegal drugs, including marijuana, are illegal because they are harmful. Marijuana is not as harmless as some would have us believe. The main active chemical in marijuana is delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC. According to the University of Mississippi's Potency Monitoring Project, the average amount of THC in marijuana today is 9.6 percent, which is more than double the potency it had in 1983. Obviously, today's marijuana is far more powerful than it used to be.

3. In 2000, there were six times

as many emergency room mentions of marijuana use as there were in 1990. According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, marijuana intoxication can cause distorted perceptions, impaired coordination and difficulty in thinking and problem-solving. Long-term marijuana abuse can lead to addiction.

4. Smoked marijuana is not scientifically approved medicine. According to the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, Marinol, the legal version of medical marijuana, is approved by science. Smoked marijuana contains more than 400 different chemicals, including most hazardous chemicals found in tobacco smoke.

5. Legalization of drugs will lead to increased use and increased levels of addiction. When the State of Alaska tried legalization in the 1970s, teen use of marijuana in Alaska more than doubled the rate of use of other youths nationally. Furthermore, since legalization of marijuana in Holland, heroin addiction levels have tripled.

6. Alcohol has caused significant health, social and crime problems in the country. By legalizing marijuana, we would only make the situation worse. Do we want our bus drivers, nurses and airline pilots to be able to use marijuana one evening and operate freely at work the next day?

What does work?

* A balanced approach of prevention, enforcement and treatment is the key in the fight against drugs.

* Drug treatment courts are working. In such courts, participants are held accountable for sticking with the program. Studies have shown that those who graduate from drug treatment courts have far lower rates of recidivism.

* Law enforcement obviously plays a key role in the drug treatment program.

Since most people do not volunteer for treatment, it is often the influence of law enforcement that can impel people to seek and complete treatment.

In conclusion, we know far too well that crime, violence and drug use go hand in hand.

Simply put, drug use changes behavior and exacerbates criminal activity. Drugs, including marijuana, often cause people to do things they would not if they were rational and free of the influence of drugs.

Therefore, we encourage Solano County registered voters to carefully consider the broad impacts of Proposition 19 before voting this fall.

This is not simply a revenue enhancement measure as its proponents would have us believe.

Given the numerous negative effects of drug use, including marijuana, we strongly believe the risks and harm associated with more marijuana use, which would certainly come about if Proposition 19 passes, are not in the best interests of Solano County families, youth and employers.

Thank you for considering our position.

Of course it's from law enforcement, they're cutting their jobs if 19 passes. The problem is that people in law enforcement are willing to compromise people's basic civil liberties, and that goes against the values that they're supposed to have. I like cops, and admit that they get a bad rap on this site, but know when to call a spade a spade.

if you go by the idea that pot isnt a drug like other drugs are are drug then a lot of what he said is true. thats why i make pot brownie.
all in all his statement is like swiss chess. its full of holes. Holland didnt just legalize pot, they did a lot more then just this which influenced the addiction rate. As most people who tried pot know if a pilot smoked pot the night before he wont still be stoned by morning provided he gets the recommended 7-9 hours of sleep even if he sleeps as soon as he puts the pipe down.

Indeed. Sounds like total bullshit to me.

If anything it should lower heroin addicts, as people who smoke it or are curious of weed
aren't forced to buy their weed from a dealer (who probably sells other drugs too),
but they can just walk in a shop and buy some..

Alaska had a state supreme court case in the 1970's, that had nothing to do with "legalization".

LINK

"[1]  Here Ravin raises two basic claims: first, that there is no legitimate state interest in prohibiting possession of marijuana by adults for personal use, in view of the right to privacy; and secondly, that the statutory classification of marijuana as a dangerous drug, while use of alcohol and tobacco is not prohibited, denies him due process and equal protection of law.2"

"Ravin v. State is a 1975 decision by the Alaska Supreme Court that legalized possession of small amounts of cannabis (four ounces) in the state. It was brought about by Irwin Ravin, an attorney who deliberately got arrested in Anchorage for refusing to sign a traffic ticket while in possession of marijuana in order to challenge the existing law."

The Solano County Law Enforcement Administrators' Association missed some important points:

The primary reason to outlaw marijuana is its effect on the degenerate races.

Marihuana leads to pacifism and communist brainwashing.

There are 100,000 total marijuana smokers in the US, and most are Negroes, Hispanics, Filipinos and entertainers. Their Satanic music, jazz and swing, result from marijuana usage. This marijuana causes white women to seek sexual relations with Negroes, entertainers and any others.

Reefer makes darkies think they're as good as white men.

Marijuana is an addictive drug which produces in its users insanity, criminality, and death.

You smoke a joint and you're likely to kill your brother.

Marijuana is the most violence-causing drug in the history of mankind.

(The above are actual quotes from Harry J. Anslinger)


In the final days leading up to the elections, we are going to see more of these reefer madness fear mongering lies. Level headed rational people see it for what it is.. bullshit. But unfortunately some of the 'undecided' will be influenced by such nonsense to vote no on Prop 19.

This article should have been titled "Greatest Scare Tactic Hits of The 20th Century"

No progress has been made. The DOJ botches those statistics and uses bad methodology. The amount of use of different drugs always goes through cycles. Those are BS statistics that I wouldn't cite if I were on fire.

Yawn. Ok, so I want to get X high. In the 60's I would smoke X amount of weed, now I only have to smoke 1/3x. Therefor, I smoke less. Nobody's smoking to inhale as much plant material as possible, they're smoking to get high. Once they feel good, they generally stop smoking. I don't see why this isn't totally obvious. If you want to get x drunk, you drink until you're there. Nobody is drinking 12 oz of vodka because they're used to drinking a 12 oz beer.

Marijuana is not dangerous. Six times as many, even if it is true, is meaningless because the author has not cited the actual number. There could have been 10 visits last year and 60 this year, not very strong numbers in a country of nearly 300 million. Additionally, how many concussions are due to school sports? You can get years in jail for selling weed, so why aren't high school athletic coaches being given the death penalty? Of course marijuana impairs your abilities somewhat, everybody already knows that, this stupid fuck thinks he's educating people. Weed isn't impairing enough to warrant serious attention.

Leave it to a conservative to teach me about science, LOL! I love how he talks about "science" as though it were one group of people nodding their heads in agreement, like it's fucking church, and as though there was no disagreement or politics put into this process. Marinol, surprise surprise, like the rest of the pharmaceutical's lineup has strong side effects for many, marijuana doesn't. Many medical associations have endorsed marijuana as medicine, just not the bought-off-by-big-pharma-FDA. If this poor fuck knew anything about the drug approval process over there he'd run and hide under his bed out of shame.

The DEA isn't credible about anything so fuck them. They're not even doctors. I'll ask a doctor what's good for my body, not a fucking cop. Fuck those elephant corn-holing fagot cops at the DEA. The fact that marijuana contains carcinogens does not prove it is dangerous, surprise surprise he has no supporting evidence. Research shows cannabanoids in marijuana smoke help cells eat themselves (autophagia) and kill themselves (apoptisis). It's a system that takes care of itself.

5. Legalization of drugs will lead to increased use and increased levels of addiction.

Fucking Hudini over here, predicting the future! The gateway theory has no evidence in support of it, none. There is no evidence using one drug causes the person to use another. If there is a gateway drug, it is most certainly alcohol. Even if levels did go up, it would still never justify ruining people's careers, lavishing fines, and taking their weed away, only to be substituted by alcohol. That Alaska stat is probably bs, but even if not it makes no difference. The Holland statistics are clearly bullshit, as the Dutch have had great success with their policies, otherwise why continue them? Once again, marijuana tolerance does not cause heroin use. On the contrary, it reduces it. Nothing but bunk stats.

Quote:


6. Alcohol has caused significant health, social and crime problems in the country. By legalizing marijuana, we would only make the situation worse. Do we want our bus drivers, nurses and airline pilots to be able to use marijuana one evening and operate freely at work the next day?




Alcohol is far more dangerous than weed in every way. Marijuana does not cause crime problems. Legalization will make no difference because people smoke weed regardless of the law, and the people with the least regard for the law are those most likely to get addicted. And who gives a shit if my nurse smokes at night and attends to me the next day? You get high one day, go to sleep and you wake up sober. Only a non-smoker could even try to argue something to stupid.

Quote:


What does work?

* A balanced approach of prevention, enforcement and treatment is the key in the fight against drugs.




This approach has not been effective at all. The number of addicts is the same as it was when prohibition began.

Quote:


* Drug treatment courts are working. In such courts, participants are held accountable for sticking with the program. Studies have shown that those who graduate from drug treatment courts have far lower rates of recidivism.





Drug treatment courts work for people who know they have a serious problem, not for people who were forced there cuz they got smoking a joint. Drug courts are viable solutions for heroin/coke addicts who are funding their habits through crime. These people know their lives are fucked. The life of a stoner aint' so bad. Since smoking weed isn't really abuse, any stoners see it that way, once their obligations to the court are over they will just continue smoking. As they should.

Quote:


Since most people do not volunteer for treatment, it is often the influence of law enforcement that can impel people to seek and complete treatment.




People don't volunteer for treatment because they are running away from pain, first that which happened in life and second the pain of not having enough drugs. They also don't volunteer for treatment due to the stigma associated with seeking it. You know what puts a huge dent in that stigma? Legalization.

Quote:


In conclusion, we know far too well that crime, violence and drug use go hand in hand.





Only when drugs are illegal, fuckhead. What a childish view of the world. He talks about drugs and crime like they were neutrons and protons.

Quote:

Simply put, drug use changes behavior and exacerbates criminal activity. Drugs, including marijuana, often cause people to do things they would not if they were rational and free of the influence of drugs.




By far the dumbest statement of all since the only thing keeping me from throwing a bomb through this guy's bedroom window is the fact that I still have some weed left.

The Cato paper reports that between 2001 and 2006 in Portugal, rates of lifetime use of any illegal drug among seventh through ninth graders fell from 14.1% to 10.6%; drug use in older teens also declined. Lifetime heroin use among 16-to-18-year-olds fell from 2.5% to 1.8% (although there was a slight increase in marijuana use in that age group). New HIV infections in drug users fell by 17% between 1999 and 2003, and deaths related to heroin and similar drugs were cut by more than half. In addition, the number of people on methadone and buprenorphine treatment for drug addiction rose to 14,877 from 6,040, after decriminalization, and money saved on enforcement allowed for increased funding of drug-free treatment as well.

Compared to the European Union and the U.S., Portugal's drug use numbers are impressive. Following decriminalization, Portugal had the lowest rate of lifetime marijuana use in people over 15 in the E.U.: 10%. The most comparable figure in America is in people over 12: 39.8%. Proportionally, more Americans have used cocaine than Portuguese have used marijuana.

1) Who cares how many people are using drugs, the point is, people are being arrested and charged with criminal offenses.

2) More potent = smoking less. Smoking hash is healtheir than smoking the lowest potency schwag because the user must smoke far more substance to get the effects their after.

3) Emergency room visits for cannabis? Addiction like tobacco or like what?

4) Marinol is THC mixed with seseme seed oil and yes, you can smoke it. Marinol is approved because you can't grow pills.

5) Polls can be wrong. Education is more powerful and helpful than propaganda.

6) Your saying marijuana is as bad (health wise) as alcohol? ROFL!! Bus drivers, nurses and airline pilots already use marijuana and work the next day.

This whole article is a joke.

If heroin did go up it has nothing to do with Marijuana being legal. Where did this cop get all of the false facts from? Oh yea cough cough DEA= No lets keep putting Americans in prisons and ruin their families that is working great.But the cigarettes and alcohol isn't harmful, what a retard!

The Solano County Law Enforcement Administrators' Association missed some important points:

The primary reason to outlaw marijuana is its effect on the degenerate races.

Marihuana leads to pacifism and communist brainwashing.

There are 100,000 total marijuana smokers in the US, and most are Negroes, Hispanics, Filipinos and entertainers. Their Satanic music, jazz and swing, result from marijuana usage. This marijuana causes white women to seek sexual relations with Negroes, entertainers and any others.

Reefer makes darkies think they're as good as white men.

Marijuana is an addictive drug which produces in its users insanity, criminality, and death.

You smoke a joint and you're likely to kill your brother.

Marijuana is the most violence-causing drug in the history of mankind.

(The above are actual quotes from Harry J. Anslinger)


In the final days leading up to the elections, we are going to see more of these reefer madness fear mongering lies. Level headed rational people see it for what it is.. bullshit. But unfortunately some of the 'undecided' will be influenced by such nonsense to vote no on Prop 19.




You are right veggie, how could they leave out all of these important and equally valid anti-marijuana facts??  :strokebeard:

Quote:

6. Alcohol has caused significant health, social and crime problems in the country. By legalizing marijuana, we would only make the situation worse. Do we want our bus drivers, nurses and airline pilots to be able to use marijuana one evening and operate freely at work the next day?



This just makes me lol.  That is in fact exactly what I want.  I'd rather have a pilot that smoked pot the day before than one with a hangover any day.
