Morgan Hill Times, 07 Oct 2010 – Dear Editor, The Morgan Hill Times editorial ("Reasons to Support Proposition 19 Are Numerous; Vote Yes," Sept. 21, 2010), got an arrow splitting bull’s eye exposing so many reasons to end cannabis (marijuana) prohibition.

Daily Bruin, 06 Oct 2010 – Pro or Against, Both Sides Agree Prop. 19’s Method of Legalizing Cannabis Is Far From Ideal If passed, Proposition 19, the Regulate, Control and Tax Cannabis Act of 2010, will allow California residents to grow marijuana for private use or purchase the drug at local grocery stores.

Daily Bruin, 06 Oct 2010 – Younger Generation More Willing to Discuss Drug Legalization Than in Past; Their Votes Key to Prop. 19’s Outcome The 1936 film "Reefer Madness," which was created to deter students from using marijuana, tells the story of young adults getting into car accidents, committing murder, suicide and rape and ultimately descending into insanity as a result of marijuana use.

Record Searchlight, 08 Oct 2010 – Should California — should America — legalize marijuana? Not just for real or purported medicinal uses, but for anyone who wants to light a pipe to unwind after work or pass an afternoon fishing at the lake? More and more, the reasonable answer to that question looks like "Yes."

Daily Bruin, 06 Oct 2010 – Law Enforcement Officials Point Out Proposition 19’s Implications for Problems With Statewide and Campus Regulation Increased marijuana usage rates triggered by Proposition 19 will also spark more marijuana-related crimes, especially on roadways, according to police officers and prosecutors around the state.

Daily Bruin, 07 Oct 2010 – A large sign jutted off the roof of the building, affixed with a neon green marijuana leaf. I had arrived. The Westwood establishment belonged to Dr. Michael Morris, a physician who specializes in medical marijuana recommendations. I wondered if he would write one for me.

Daily Bruin, 06 Oct 2010 – For Matthew, music just sounds better when he’s high. "When I’m listening to music, and when I’m playing music, I can really focus," he said. "I become more involved in the experience." Matthew started smoking when he came to college and now smokes about three times per week, enjoying a high that relaxes him and enhances his concentration. As for how it all works, the technical aspects are unclear.

San Diego City Beat, 06 Oct 2010 – About your Sept. 22 editorial regarding San Diego’s medicinal-pot regulation: Not only should medical marijuana be made available to patients in need, but, also, adult recreational use should be regulated. Drug policies modeled after alcohol prohibition have given rise to a youth-oriented black market. Illegal drug dealers don’t ID for age, but they do recruit minors immune to adult sentences. So much for protecting the children. Throwing more money at the problem is no solution. Attempts to limit the supply of illegal drugs while demand remains constant only increase the profitability of drug trafficking.

San Diego City Beat, 06 Oct 2010 – Thanks for an excellent editorial on the PIO (paranoia-induced overkill) mental illness problem currently plaguing local government [Sept. 22]. I propose that PIO-Joes be called exactly that, after the Spanish word "piojos" (fleas). Anybody got a good insect repellent? As for medicinal pot, the latest studies confirm that most child-molesting, anarchist, gunhappy dope fiends hang out near traffic signals.

San Diego City Beat, 06 Oct 2010 – San Diego CityBeat pointed out some of the ridiculousness of banning medical cannabis (marijuana) dispensaries [Editorial," Sept. 22] within a certain distance of various buildings. The one that strikes me as ridiculous, though wasn’t mentioned, is places of worship. Why would a place of worship, which is often a Christian church, be opposed to medical-cannabis dispensaries or cannabis in general? Christ God Our Father indicates He created all the seed-bearing plants, saying they’re all good on literally the very first page of the Bible. And I’d like to answer that.
