June 11, 2014

A new report released by the Drug Policy Alliance and the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies, says the DEA has spent the last four decades thwarting marijuana research which carries the potential of reclassification for the drug.

"The DEA has argued for decades that there is insufficient evidence to support rescheduling marijuana," reads the executive summary of the report. "At the same time, it has... acted in a manner intended to systematically impede scientific research." Currently, marijuana is classified as a Schedule I drug, meaning the federal government does not recognize any acceptable uses for the drug, including medicinal uses. The status of Schedule I also means the drugs in this category cannot receive federal funding for research, medicinal or otherwise. Marijuana is joined on the Schedule I tier by peyote, LSD, and heroine.

Boston's Children's Hospital has taken custody of 15-year-old Justina Pelletier, against her parents' will. The teen has been there for nine months now.

Despite this diagnosis, Justina was able to live a happy, and relatively normal life with her family in Connecticut. She was very active and enjoyed various sports such as ice skating. When she got the flu last February, she was taken to Boston Children's Hospital. Justina hasn't left since.

Jury nullification advocates have launched a new billboard campaign on the Washington DC metro.

After raising $3,000 in a little over a week, James Babb put up his first billboard in the Judiciary Square Metro Station near the F Street entrance. That placed it perfectly for prospective jurors en route to the DC Superior Court. The signs read "Good jurors nullify bad laws," and "You have the right to 'hang' the vote if you do not agree with the other jurors." They've drawn both positive attention and the ire of prosecutors who fear the message could influence their cases. It only takes one juror to hang a jury, so if only one person out of a jury of twelve takes the message to heart, many guilty defendants could be acquitted.
