bullet image Presidential Proclamation

The human race reflects a myriad of vibrant cultures and unique identities, yet we are united by the innate liberties that are our common birthright. The rights to assemble peacefully, to speak and worship as we please, and to determine our own destinies know no borders. All people should live free from the threat of extrajudicial killing, torture, oppression, and discrimination, regardless of gender, race, religion, nationality, sexual orientation, or physical or mental disability.

Dictators seek to constrain these liberties through repressive laws and blunt force, but hope cannot be imprisoned and aspirations cannot be killed. […]

NOW, THEREFORE, I, BARACK OBAMA, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim December 10, 2011, as Human Rights Day and the week beginning December 10, 2011, as Human Rights Week. I call upon the people of the United States to mark these observances with appropriate ceremonies and activities.

    For anyone who’s interested, here’s a comment I wrote a while back in response to the study about medical cannabis being associated with a decrease in traffic fatalities. Let me know if anyone has any other examples to add or suggested edits for future use.

    Anyone starting to see a pattern? I’m starting to think that anytime the drug warriors make a claim about cannabis, it will eventually be discovered to be not only false, but the complete opposite of the truth.

    1. “If we legalize pot, stoned drivers will wreak havoc on our highways!” Oops, cannabis legalization appears to be more likely to DECREASE traffic fatalities.

    2. “Only stupid people smoke pot.” Oops, illicit drug use is associated with higher-than-normal IQ.

    3. “Weed is a ‘gateway’ drug that leads to harder drug use.” Oops, there’s evidence that cannabis can be an effective TREATMENT for addiction to harder drugs (such as alcohol). In other words, cannabis is an “exit” drug.

    4. “Smoking pot causes lung cancer.” Oops, not only did the Tashkin study find no increased risk of lung cancer among marijuana smokers, it revealed that they had a somewhat LOWER cancer risk than non-smokers. (In contrast, the tobacco smokers in the study had a 20-fold increased lung cancer risk.)

    5. “Smoking pot kills brain cells.” Oops, cannabis appears to be a neuroprotectant. It may actually promote neurogenesis.

    6. “Smoking pot makes you fat, you know, because of the ‘munchies.'” Oops, cannabis appears to regulate weight. A recent study showed that tokers were significantly LESS LIKELY to be obese than their “just say no” counterparts.

    7. “Smoking pot makes you crazy!” (a.k.a. “REEFER MADNESS!”) Oops, it looks like cannabidiol (one of the cannabinoids found in cannabis) is an effective ANTIpsychotic.

    8. “If pregnant women smoke pot, it will ruin the health of their babies!” Oops, there was a study that tested babies for a variety of drugs at birth. “Cannabis positive” babies suffered 8.9 deaths per 1,000 births by the age of two. Babies in the “No drugs at birth” suffered 15.7 deaths per 1,000 births. (Cocaine-positive and opiate-positive babies had a slightly elevated risk of death.)

      Hi Francis

      It’s brilliant! Would you mind if I streamlined it to my needs, added links and posted it everywhere applicable?

      • Francis says:

        Thanks! And you’re of course free to use it or modify it any way you like. (We can worry about the royalty rate later.) 🙂

      • Francis says:

        Hey Malc, you might want to add the (bizarre but sometimes-made) claim that legal cannabis would be associated with more crime and counter that with the study about dispensary closings being associated with increased crime.

      • Francis says:

        Sorry one more. I had originally thought about including the claim that cannabis use promotes violence but a) I wasn’t sure that one had gotten much play since Anslinger’s day and b) I didn’t know of any firm research (as opposed to anecdotal reports) showing that cannabis use actually decreases aggression.

        • claygooding says:

          check crime statistics for marijuana brawls?

        • Brilliant! says:

          Thank you Francis! Several different versions would not go amiss. I’ll post my modification later today and then maybe we can add to and edit it even further together. It’s a great list you’ve cooked up. it needs to be posted everywhere by everybody.

        • malc says:

          Francis, I give up! I’ve tried editing/modulating and even transposing it to A#, but your version is far superior to what I can come up with. So I’ll just borrow bits of it from time to time when I need a specific rebuttal.

          It’s concise and informative, therefore priceless; just add links and please post it everywhere you possibly can!

        • Francis says:

          Wait, I’ve gotta add the links now? Aww, man. Just kidding, no worries. I’ll try and work on it tonight.

    • Common Science says:

      Smoking pot can cause ‘amotivational syndrome, which can include impaired ability to communicate and relate to others.’

      Within a year after this regurgitated canard was on the ONDCP’s 2008 ‘Stoners in the Mist / Above the Influence’ website, a number of amotivated athletes made the headlines with their own distinct cannabis connections.

      They included the most recent winners of:

      The 2008 World Record holder of the 100 and 200 meter sprint (Usain Bolt)

      The most decorated swimmer with 14 Olympic gold medals (Michael Phelps)

      The National League baseball’s Cy Young Award winner for 2009 (Tim Linecum)

      The Super Bowl XLII’s MVP (Santonio Holmes)

    • Pete says:

      I’d like to post a finalized version of it here on the main page, too (with whatever attribution you may like). This is very useful.

      • Francis says:

        Very cool, Pete. Thanks! (No attribution necessary but if you WANTED to throw in a thank you to “beloved commenter Francis,” I wouldn’t stop you. And obviously don’t forget Malcolm since he’s actually doing the work I was too lazy to.) It also occurred to me that we might want to include something re: the claim that cannabis use is linked to depression and anxiety orders and juxtapose that with the fact that many individuals use cannabis to treat those illnesses, although I’m honestly not up to speed on what research exists regarding its efficacy as a treatment. It would also be nice to address the “amotivational syndrome” claim since that’s such a go-to for the prohibs. And I liked Common Science’s take a lot, but it’d be nice to have some social science research to back up a claim that cannabis enthusiasts are MORE highly-“motivated” than abstainers, as opposed to just anecdotal examples. If for example, tokers are more likely to have college or advanced degrees or higher-than-average incomes, etc., that might make for a good cite.

    • primus says:

      The first page of comments for the second link seemed to be mostly a few trolls and a lot of defenders of the author and the philosophy of legalization, while also attacking trolls and prohibitionism. Hilarity abounds.

    • Francis says:

      “I believe that the people who write to you insisting that marijuana is just a harmless herb and wonderful end-all pain reliever … are the very people who sit on their couch every night getting stoned.”

      So… the people who think “cannabis is a harmless herb and wonderful end-all pain reliever” are the very people that have the most personal experience with (and hence knowledge of) cannabis’ effects? And this helps your argument how? Seriously, I think it’s hilarious that drug warriors think “you’re a pothead” is an effective ad hominem in the debate over legalization.

      Prohib: marijuana is bad
      Me: I disagree. I think cannabis is a relatively benign herb that has many amazing medical benefits. As a recreational intoxicant, it’s also infinitely safer than alcohol and causes far less societal harm.
      Prohib: ur opinion is dumb because u smoke pot which is bad which makes u bad
      Me: Er… isn’t that reasoning a little circular? I mean, whether or not cannabis is “bad” is the very issue we’re debating.
      Prohib: shut up u stupid pothead

      If anything, the “you’re a pothead” er… “rebuttal” that’s so frequently offered by prohibs actually undermines their position. As noted above, it suggests that the “legalizer” has some, you know, actual knowledge of cannabis. Second, it just underscores the drug war’s failure. “Yep, I’m a ‘pothead.’ I have absolutely no problem procuring cannabis. Not getting much of a return on that $40 billion a year, are you?” Finally, the drug warriors invariably get their asses handed to them in these debates. Why are they so eager to acknowledge that the person running intellectual circles around them is a “brain-dead stoner”?

        very much enjoy your posts BTW

        • Francis says:

          Of course not! Someone who knows a lot about and enjoys different types of wine is a “connoisseur.” Someone who knows a lot about and enjoys different types of cannabis is just a “pothead.” (It’s kinda like how a corkscrew is just a corkscrew but a water pipe is “drug paraphernalia.”)

      • Randy says:

        Evidently, cannibis users’ opinions and knowledge are inadmissable in the WOD debate because, you know, they have skin in the game on the other side. Only those who don’t use drugs or fight the good fight against drugs are allowed to debate the issue. Cannibis users’ arguments are incredibly selfish because all they relly want is to smoke their pot and not risk arrest. Selfish bastards!

        IOW, the counsel of the “enemy” to end the drug war has to be wrong, because they are the “enemy” and the enemy can’t be right, because if the “enemy” were right, they wouldn’t be the “enemy”. Got it?

    • Swooper420 says:

      So who ARE you gonna vote for? None of the Rethuglians are worth a shit ‘cept for maybe Gary Johnson. Ron Paul says he’d end the war on some drugs, sure, but we can’t afford to be one-issue voters. RP has too many fundimentalist beliefs and is for destroying the social security net which so many sick, disabled, & seniors depend on. He’s also against freedom of choice for women. His wholesale gutting of the Federal gov’t is just too extreme.

      • claygooding says:

        I would vote a Ron Paul/Gary Johnson ticket because I think Johnson and congress could keep RP off a lot of his more radical cuts,,or at least slow them down enough to allow adjustments for the changes that it would take.

        I see no way to attack S/S without hurting millions of people,,the majority of which have paid into S/S their entire lives.

        What congress needs is a reminder that S/S finances were fine until they started borrowing from them,,how easily they forget.

      • Doctor Woo says:

        Ron Paul is on the record, and I believe he said it this past Sunday on Meet the Press, saying that Social Security would remain largely intact. He would allow an opt out for young people. If you take a minute to think about it with a Democratic Senate and a Republican House neither of which like Mr Ron Paul all that much do you really think he will get 100% of everything he wants? He is obviously the best chance for meaningful change since Ross Perot. It’s been all the same bullshit since I was born in 76 please vote for Paul.

    Maybe cannabis really is validly associated with violence. Here’s an article about a man who assaulted a police officer with a bag of cannabis:

    /snip/
    Police were dispatched to the Relax Inn on Dec. 3 in reference to a domestic dispute that was under way. According to the report, a highly agitated and belligerent man was exiting a room when officers arrived and refused to give them his name or answer questions.

    He appeared highly intoxicated and possibly under the influence of drugs, the report said. Officers reported he began cursing them and damaging items from the motel room, then threw a bag of what was believed to be marijuana at them.

    I have found evidence that leads me to conclude that our friend ezrydn is in fact none other than Governor Jesse Ventura. I’ve always wondered why I had never seen them photographed together.

    Jesse Ventura: A Second Conversation
    Kevin Michael Patten
    Published 12/11/2011

    Cannabis Times: What were your thoughts on Proposition 19’s defeat?

    Jesse Ventura: Well I was saddened by the defeat of Proposition 19, because – how stupid are they? – it would have been a new revenue source for them. The States are in such dire financial straits. Even more so, I live in Mexico and they could alleviate the problem on the border; put the Cartels out of business.

    CT: Would it surprise you if you saw troops land in Mexico, as Representative Michael McCaul is indicting he wants to do?

    JV: I don’t know about that, but we’d be fighting the Cartels with weapons from the U.S. But that’s pretty normal cause were the biggest weapons dealers in the world.

    CT: We might have to go down there and start fighting then with pesticides and guns.

    JV: It’s totally ridiculous to do all that. Legalization is the simply way to take care of the problem. It’s no different that the prohibition of alcohol: When you prohibit something, it makes criminals and gangsters rich. And let me add: For those who claim that the rate of usage from children would go up, stats already show that where it’s already legal – in Holland – less kids, percentage wise, use marijuana than do here in the U.S. where it’s illegal.

    Gotcha! [maniacal laughter]

    • ezrydn says:

      Thanks, Duncan, for the best morning laugh of my week. I’m no SEAL. Just an ol’ Army 11Bravo RTO from the famed 7th US Cavalry. I’ve faced 20/1 odds with the NVA and have called Arty fire missions on my own position in hopes of surviving. I think you’re right about Jesse living down here, part-time. I’m here full-time, an “emegrado.”

      In late ’65, I never heard a word about drugs in-theater. We were just too busy! Right after discharge, I and some friends headed to Woodstock.

      Fast forward to abaut 10 years age and you find me here and I find Pete’s Couch. Well, Pete didn’t have a couch yet. Johnny Pee hadn’t given it to him yet. Right, Pete? LOL

      I have found many brothers (and sisters) here who fit my combat definition of “brother.” I’ve always been thankful to Pete for that. I’ve shared ammo with allan, malcolm and darkcycle on several engagements. Howard and Misty have been guests of mine. When I travel to the US, it’s always wearing my Cav stetson and LEAP shirt w/ the ASK ME WHY. I love the faces of Customs/Security. Pete has successfully taught me “elevator arguements” which I use on full auto.

      Yet, I’m just one voice of reason, crying out in the wilderness, as each of us are. I/We don’t understand failure and dismiss such thoughts. It’s like being confronted with an ambush. Go to ground and your assured of death. Therefore, one must do the unexpected. We charge into the fusilade…and win.

      Life is, indeed, strange. I never thought of using military tactics in THIS war but they work and achieve the success they provided in the jungles. If you are a combat fighter pilot, I’d suspect those tactics learned would also be “transferable.” Those of you with military service, am I right?!

      So, again, thanks for the laugh and the comparison. I take it as a compliment. My commander in Vietnam was Col. Moore. My “commander” today is “Col.” Guither. I would follow each on an assault on the Gates of Hell.

      Garry Owen to you all! If I’m among the missing, don’t worry. I’ll be rolling a phatty for you for when you arrive at “Fiddler’s Green.”

    “After pointing assault weapons at the 8-year-old grandson of the Bravos, the child ran off to the bathroom screaming.
