Kyle Kelly had just paid $45 for an eighth of an ounce of pot at a Sacramento medical marijuana dispensary when a California Highway Patrol officer pulled him over on a routine traffic stop.

The officer noticed Kelly had a copy of the West Coast Leaf – “The Cannabis Community Newspaper of Record” – in the car and asked the 25-year-old Sacramento man if he had any weed on him.

DENVER—There was an old hippy saying in the ’60s: “If the government figured out a way to tax it, marijuana would become legal.” As of last week, Colorado has apparently crossed that Rubicon—at least for the prescribed version.

John Suthers, the state’s Republican attorney general, issued an opinion on Nov. 16 that yes, the state of Colorado does have the authority to tax medical marijuana. The opinion was in response to a request for legal clarification from Colorado’s Democratic Governor (and former Denver District Attorney) Bill Ritter. The governor’s office hasn’t indicated whether or not they support taxing mediinal marijuana, they simply wanted to express an official opinion on the state’s authority to do so.

The video below is just a small explanation of the situation that is now going on in the US. Here in Canada,  where we actually have a federal medical marihuana law, our distribution system is light years behind. Our federal government, blinded by bunk science, has yet to take advantage of the huge tax market available from legal medical marihuana dispensaries. In fact we have gone so far as to extradite one of our own citizens, Marc Emery, for the heinous crime of selling seeds. Selling seeds, into a country that doesn’t prosecute it’s own citizens for openly selling marihuana itself in store fronts throughout their country. The hypocrisy of this is so outrageous, doesn’t it want to make you want to do something about it?

Last week on the CBC television show Dragon’s Den, a young entrepreneur presented “the Dragons” with his business idea: a medical marijuana distribution business. The reactions of the Dragons—a pretty intelligent, well-informed group—were shocking in their closed-mindedness. Despite the fact that medical marijuana has been legal in Canada for years now, one of the Dragons went so far as to accuse the entrepreneur of “selling marijuana out of one pocket, and heroin out of the other.” This ill-informed, fear-mongering has beleaguered the medical marijuana cause for years. The very people (the Dragon is ex-RCMP) who should be providing the public with accurate information so we are able to make informed choices, are filtering the information to suit their moral agendas; this moral crusade is not new.

Since the early 1900’s, through a dubious introduction into the Opium and Drug Act in 1923, possession, production and selling of marijuana have been illegal. How and why marijuana ended up being included in this Act is a long story of racism and fear, but one of little scientific fact; this remains the case today. Despite indisputable scientific evidence that alcohol, tobacco, and prescription painkillers—all regulated and legal—are far more dangerous than marijuana to the health and well-being of society, marijuana is illegal. This double-standard is contributing to the pain and suffering of hundreds of thousands of individuals by denying them access to effective and safe treatment of their medical condition, as well as to the increasing number of drug addicts in our population by not better regulating the distribution of prescription drugs.
