Cannabis Prohibition ~ The Beardude
It’s been called one of B.C.’s most bizarre drug cases in recent memory. A story with a cast of characters including an oddball hippy, a pot-bellied pig, an overly friendly raccoon and twenty-four black bears. Oh, and a thousand pot plants, apparently guarded by the bears. The bust took place in August of 2010 near the Village of Christina Lake, British Columbia and the story travelled to all parts of the world, including the United States, Denmark, England, India and Russia, where a news anchor lady could not stop laughing as she read the story. The New York Post declared, “Don’t Smokey near this bear.” Today, Allen Piche, aka ‘The Beardude’, announced the release of his book, The Beardude Story, which chronicles his side of this strange tale.
'In my opinion, its prohibition, which was jammed down our throats against the wishes of many wise and eloquent voices for the seventies, is one of the tragedies of our society in m lifetime. The choice was, 'drugs are a health issue' versus 'drugs are a legal issues' Shame on those who perpetuated the myth that it was a dangerous drug and had to be controlled. Shame on those who, through fear and ignorance, later began the war on drugs, that nifty bit of leadership which did nothing but the opposite of its intentions. It twisted or ruined the lives of so many promising young people, the ones who might have become leaders. It crushed our belief in government and law as positive forces and raised a level of rebellion that many of us still embrace. It created the gangs and violence that we have today, just like the prohibition of alcohol did in the early years of the 1900's. Did it never occur t these people that a war on drugs is really a war on the people, their own people, thus creating a cold civil war that has lasted for over forty years?'
-- Chief Norm Stamper LEAP
'Think of this war's real causalities: tens of thousand of otherwise innocent Americans incarcerated, many for 20 years, some for life; families ripped apart; drug traffickers and blameless bystanders shot dead on the city streets; narcotics officers assassinated here and abroad, with prosecutors, judges, and elected officials in Latin America gunned down for their courageous stand against the cartels; and all those dollars spent on federal, state, and local cops, courts, prosecutors, prisons, probation, parole, and pee-in-the-bottle programs'
Making Cannabis Ghee
Making Cannabis Ghee. There are many different way to prepare Ghee we will share them all.
Ghee, is clarified butter and is often used in Indian recipes. It is also a facilitator of THC extraction because the fats link on to the THC molecules and make absorption more effective. Properly prepared ghee can be kept at room temperature or in a moderately cool pace for many months with out spoiling.
Ingredients: 2lb unsalted butter
Method 1:
The unsalted butter is heated in a pan at a medium-low temperature. A froth will form on the surface, which should be skimmed off with a spoon. This is repeated until no more froth appears. The remaking butterfat is ghee, bets stored in the refrigerator.

Three Generations of Family Convicted of Trafficking More
Than One Ton of Marijuana
JUN 18 -- PHOENIX – Elizabeth W. Kempshall, Special Agent in Charge of the DEA’s Phoenix Field Division and Dennis Burke, U.S. Attorney for the District of Arizona announced today that Kingsley Lloyd Bowen, 66, of Brooklyn, N.Y., was found guilty by a federal jury in Phoenix of conspiracy to possess at least 1,000 kilograms of marijuana with intent to distribute, conspiracy to launder monetary instruments, conspiracy to destroy or remove property to prevent seizure, and destruction or removal of property to prevent seizure. The trial before United States District Court Judge Susan R. Bolton began on June 2, 2010, and the jury returned its verdict on June 16, 2010.
Earlier this year, Kingsley’s daughter, Sandra Marie Bowen, 40, of Chandler, Ariz., her boyfriend, Christopher Anthony Williams, 36, of Chandler Ariz. and Kingsley’s grandson, Dillon Ornim Clarke, 22, of Brooklyn, N.Y., pleaded guilty to the conspiracy to distribute marijuana as well as other related charges.
All the defendants are being held in the custody of the U.S. Marshal Service pending sentencing. The sentencing hearings for Dillon Ornim Clarke and Christopher Anthony Williams will be before Judge Bolton on June 28, 2010. The sentencing hearings for Kingsley Lloyd Bowen and Sandra Marie Bowen will be before Judge Bolton on August 30, 2010.
The evidence at the trial showed that the family’s drug trafficking organization mailed wholesale quantities of marijuana from Arizona to purchasers in Florida, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and other states. According to drug ledger analysis performed by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, the family trafficked in at least 6,900 pounds of marijuana. The proceeds of drug trafficking activities were laundered through 23 bank accounts, including six bank accounts opened under the name of shell business organizations. The evidence at trial showed that more than $900,000 in cash had been deposited into bank accounts associated with the defendants, and additionally that the drug trafficking organization spent and maintained on-hand large amounts of cash.
A conviction for conspiracy to possess at least 1,000 kilograms of marijuana with intent to distribute carry a maximum penalty of life imprisonment, a $4,000,000 fine, or both. A conviction for possession of at least 100 kilograms of marijuana with intent to distribute carries a maximum penalty of 40 years of imprisonment, a $2,000,000 fine, or both. In determining the actual sentences, Judge Bolton will consult the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines, which provide appropriate sentencing ranges. The judge, however, is not bound by those guidelines in determining a sentence.
The investigation leading to the guilty verdict and pleas was conducted by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, the Internal Revenue Service-CI, the Mesa Police Department, the Arizona Department of Public Safety, the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, the Tempe Police Department, the Pinal County Sheriff’s Office, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

DEA Announces Actions Related to Marijuana and Industrial Hemp
August 11, 2016
Contact: DEA Public Affairs
(202) 307-7977
AUG 11 (WASHINGTON) - The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) announced several marijuana- related actions, including actions regarding scientific research and scheduling of marijuana, as well as principles on the cultivation of industrial hemp under the Agricultural Act of 2014.
DEA Publishes Responses to Two Pending Petitions to Reschedule Marijuana
DEA has denied two petitions to reschedule marijuana under the Controlled Substances Act (CSA). In response to the petitions, DEA requested a scientific and medical evaluation and scheduling recommendation from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), which was conducted by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in consultation with the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA). Based on the legal standards in the CSA, marijuana remains a schedule I controlled substance because it does not meet the criteria for currently accepted medical use in treatment in the United States, there is a lack of accepted safety for its use under medical supervision, and it has a high potential for abuse.
In his letter to the petitioners, DEA Acting Administrator Chuck Rosenberg offered a detailed response outlining the factual and legal basis for the denial of the petitions.
The full responses to the petitions can be found in the Federal Register. Response 1 ANDResponse 2
The DEA and the FDA continue to believe that scientifically valid and well-controlled clinical trials conducted under investigational new drug (IND) applications are the most appropriate way to conduct research on the medicinal uses of marijuana. Furthermore, DEA and FDA believe that the drug approval process is the most appropriate way to assess whether a product derived from marijuana or its constituents is safe and effective and has an accepted medical use. This pathway allows the FDA the important ability to determine whether a product meets the FDA criteria for safety and effectiveness for approval.
Increasing the Number of Authorized Marijuana Manufacturers Supplying Researchers
DEA announced a policy change designed to foster research by expanding the number of DEA- registered marijuana manufacturers. This change should provide researchers with a more varied and robust supply of marijuana. At present, there is only one entity authorized to produce marijuana to supply researchers in the United States: the University of Mississippi, operating under a contract with NIDA. Consistent with the CSA and U.S. treaty obligations, DEA’s new policy will allow additional entities to apply to become registered with DEA so that they may grow and distribute marijuana for FDA-authorized research purposes.
This change illustrates DEA’s commitment to working together with the FDA and NIDA to facilitate research concerning marijuana and its components. DEA currently has 350 individuals registered to conduct research on marijuana and its components. Notably, DEA has approved
every application for registration submitted by researchers seeking to use NIDA-supplied marijuana to conduct research that HHS determined to be scientifically meritorious.
Statement of Principles Concerning Industrial Hemp and the Agricultural Act of 2014
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), in consultation with DEA and the FDA, also released a statement of principles concerning provisions of the Agricultural Act of 2014 relating to the cultivation of industrial hemp. Industrial hemp is a low-concentration THC variety of the cannabis plant intended to be used for industrial purposes (e.g., fiber and seed). This statement of principles is intended to inform the public, including institutions of higher education and State departments of agriculture, how Federal law applies to activities associated with industrial hemp that is grown and cultivated in accordance with Section 7606 of the Agricultural Act of 2014.
This statement of principles outlines the legalized growing and cultivating of industrial hemp for research purposes under certain conditions, such as in states where growth and cultivation are legal under state law. The 2014 Act did not remove industrial hemp from the list of controlled substances and, with certain limited exceptions, the requirements of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act and the CSA continue to apply to industrial hemp-related activities. The statement of principles addresses questions including the extent to which private parties may grow industrial hemp as part of an agricultural pilot program, the circumstances under which the sale of hemp products is permitted, and other related topics.
