THe War On Drugs and America's Kids this week on CMF

[Guest guest]

The commercial MEAT FACTORY is a weekly politics/obscure music radio

show. It is our intention to bring our community awareness about human, earth

and animal liberation as well as fill your mind with enticing and obscure, yet

sometimes absurd music.

 

The show airs Fridays from 5-7 pm PST on WPMD 1700 AM and worldwide on

the web at www.cerritos.edu/wpmd The first hour is our community forum and the

second belongs to the noise. WPMD 1700 AM is available to over half a million

residents of Cerritos, Artesia, Bellflower, Paramount, Downey, La Mirada,

Norwalk,

Hawaiian Gardens, Lakewood and parts of Long Beach & Whittier, California.

 

This list will consists of one email per week informing you of subject matters

as well as talk and music radio guests.

 

This weeks guests include the following people:

 

Drug Policy Alliance - Adam Hollander

www.drugpolicy.org

 

Drug Policy Alliance is the nation's leading organization working to end the war

on drugs and promote new drug policies based on common sense, science, public

health and human rights. The Alliance, headquartered in New York City, has

offices in Sacramento, Oakland, San Francisco, Washington, DC and Santa Fe, New

Mexico.

 

NEW YORK - September 10 - Gov. Jeb Bush’s daughter was found with cocaine at a

rehabilitation center where she is undergoing drug treatment, according to a

recent Associated Press report from Orlando. Her anticipated arrest comes even

as the Bush administration is spending millions of taxpayer dollars in

television and print advertisements suggesting that non-violent Americans who

use drugs are responsible for funding terrorism.

 

President Bush, when signing the Drug-Free Communities act last December said:

“Drug use threatens everything, everything that is best about our country… If

you quit drugs, you join the fight against terror in America.” In one government

commercial, smoking marijuana was equated with killing an innocent family. And

just this month the Drug Enforcement Administration opened a special “drugs and

terrorism” exhibit in their museum that exploitatively features an actual piece

of the World Trade Center -- even though the tragic events of September 11th had

nothing to do with drugs.

 

The Drug Policy Alliance continues to support Florida Governor Jeb Bush’s appeal

for respect and privacy in coping with his daughter’s substance abuse problem.

But the Alliance also pointed out the sharp discrepancy in Florida’s treatment

of drug abuse among people with less political power and financial means.

 

Marijuana Policy Project - Krissy Oechslin

www.mpp.org

 

The Marijuana Policy Project works to minimize the harm associated with

marijuana -- both the consumption of marijuana and the laws that are intended to

prohibit such use. In association with Students for Sensible Drug Policy, MPP

will hold its first national conference on November 8-10 in Anaheim, California.

 

SANTA CRUZ, CA - September 11 - In an historic act of civil disobedience,

members of the Santa Cruz City Council have invited the Wo/Men's Alliance for

Medical Marijuana (WAMM), raided last week by the Drug Enforcement

Administration, to distribute medical marijuana to patients in the City Hall

courtyard on Sept. 17. During the action, scheduled for 3:00 p.m. PDT, members

of the council will stand with WAMM members in an act of solidarity. This

dramatic event, which WAMM lawyer Ben Rice calls " our Boston Tea Party, " comes

in the midst of a national wave of outrage at the DEA's latest raids, including

new calls for Congressional action.

 

WAMM, a cooperative run by and for patients (most with terminal diagnoses),

worked closely with local authorities, strictly followed California law and

local guidelines, and never sold marijuana to anyone. Nevertheless, armed DEA

agents swooped down on the co-op Sept. 5, pointed automatic weapons at paralyzed

patients, tore up WAMM's garden, and carted off operators Valerie and Mike

Corral in handcuffs.

 

The raid -- the latest in a series of DEA raids targeting small- scale medical

marijuana operations run by seriously ill people -- has triggered shock and

anger nationwide.
