         <title>Prank By Inmates Adds Pigs On Police Car Decals</title>
         <description>
         <![CDATA[
           ​In the feel-good story of the day, an image of a pig -- the infamous 1960s-era epithet used by protesters and hippies for police officers -- has wound up on a decal used on as many as 30 Vermont State Police cruisers.Embarrassed state officials on Thursday blamed a failure of the quality assurance office within the Vermont Correctional Industries Print Shop in St. Albans, Vt., to detect a prisoner-artist's addition made four years ago to the traditional state police logo, reports Mike Donoghue of the Burlington Free Press. In an ingenious bit of subtle social protest, a spot on the shoulder of the cow in the state emblem was modified into a pig.A witch hunt, I mean an investigation has been launched into how the computer program was "improperly modified" to insert the image of the pig, according to Vermont Corrections Commissioner Andy Pallito.

         <title>Marijuana and Teens: A Call To Honesty</title>
         <description>
         <![CDATA[
          ​By Benjamin WrightSpecial to Toke of the TownThis is not a call to arms or an indictment of the government for failing to preserve the liberties our forefathers enjoyed, vis a vis the growing and smoking of marijuana, but instead consider this a call to honesty, a reminder of how important the truth is.When used as an argument for the prohibition of marijuana, the Gateway Theory is interpreted to mean that if an individual experiments with cannabis, they are more at risk to consume dangerous illegal substances than they otherwise would have been.

         <title>Rhode Island Voters Support Reducing Marijuana Penalties: Poll</title>
         <description>
         <![CDATA[
          ​A January 25-26 Public Policy Polling survey found strong support for marijuana policy reform, including more than two-to-one support for reducing the penalty for possession of marijuana to a $150 civil fine. Marijuana possession is now punishable in Rhode Island by a $500 fine and up to a year in jail.&nbsp;Of those polled, an overwhelming 65 percent supported decreasing the penalties for simple possession of less than an ounce of marijuana by removing the possibility of jail time and making the offense a civil citation. Such a change received support from across the political spectrum, with 73 percent of Democrats, 64 percent of Republicans, and 60 percent of independents in favor of the measure.Two bills, H 7092 and S 2253, have been introduced in the Rhode Island House and Senate to remove the threat of arrest and jail for personal possession of less than an ounce of marijuana.

         <title>Panel Votes To Ban Medical Marijuana On Arizona Campuses</title>
         <description>
         <![CDATA[
          ​An Arizona House panel voted on Wednesday to ban medical marijuana use and possession on all college and university campuses, setting the stage for a lawsuit.The unanimous vote by members of the House Committee on Higher Education came after Rep. Amanda Reeve (R-Phoenix) said the schools fear losing both direct federal aid and federally backed student loans if they allow faculty and students to possess medicinal cannabis, reports Howard Fischer at Capitol Media Services.The move was backed by Kristen Boilini, who lobbies for several community colleges. She said the law will reinforce policies the schools already have in place.Joe Yuhas, spokesman for the Arizona Medical Marijuana Association, did not attend the hearing. He told Capitol Media Services he believes his opposition would be meaningless.

         <title>Police: Entire New York City Building Was Marijuana Farm</title>
         <description>
         <![CDATA[
           ​An entire five-story building in New York City was raided by the police this week, and authorities claimed the entire structure was being used as a multi-floor marijuana farm.Police said that four of the floors appeared to be used for various stages of the plants' growth, with the most mature cannabis being on the top floor, reports Stephen C. Webster at The Raw Story.The building reportedly had elaborate watering and air filtration systems to keep the plants healthy and the smell under control, reports Shimon Prokupecz, Jonathan Dienst and Joe Valiquette at NBC New York.

         <title>California Marijuana Policy Bills Fail To Advance By Deadline</title>
         <description>
         <![CDATA[
           ​Despite hundreds of letters urging California lawmakers to support legislation to improve California's marijuana policies, two bills that would have done just that failed to advance out of their respective chambers by Tuesday's deadline.Although both proposals enjoy strong public support, both were pulled prior to a vote by their sponsors due to a lack of majority support in their respective chambers.The first bill was AB 1017, introduced by Assemblymember Tom Ammiano. This bill proposed changing the penalty for marijuana cultivation from an automatic felony to a "wobbler" that could be charged as a misdemeanor. AB 1017 received a vote last spring, when it lost 24-36, but it did not garner enough support to pass if it was voted on again.

         <title>AZ Moves To Make Medical Marijuana Illegal For College Students</title>
         <description>
         <![CDATA[
          ​Arizona lawmakers are preparing on Wednesday to deny university and college students living on campus the right to use medical marijuana, even if they have the legally required doctor's recommendation to use it.Legislation written by Rep. Amanda Reeve (R-Phoenix) would make it illegal to use and even to possess marijuana on the campus of any public or private post-secondary institution of learning, reports Howard Fischer at Capitol Media Services.Included under the overbearing law would be not only the state university system and network of community colleges but even various private schools that offer degrees or certificates.That doesn't just mean keeping marijuana out of classrooms and open areas.HB 2349, set for debate in the House Committee on Higher Education, also would prohibit students from using cannabis in their dorm rooms -- even if the patient is drinking a cannabis infused drink or eating a cannabis edible.

         <title>S.F. Marijuana Dispensaries Annual Sales Estimate: $41 Million</title>
         <description>
         <![CDATA[
          ​In an unprecedented analysis of sales tax revenue from the sale of medical marijuana at city dispensaries, the San Francisco controller's office has estimated annual sales of medicinal cannabis at $41 million.San Francisco's roughly two dozen licensed collectives must pay the city's 8.5 percent sales tax rate, coming from California's 7.25 percent sales tax with a local one percent sales tax going to S.F.'s general fund, and a .25 percent sales tax that goes to other areas like transportation, reports David Downs at the East Bay Express.Counting the most recent reporting period -- which ended with the third quarter of 2011 -- a year's worth of general fund revenue from sales tax on medical marijuana totals "just over 410,000," said Curt Fuchs, senior economist in the controller's office, East Bay Express&nbsp;reports.Since that figure is one percent of sales, that means S.F. dispensaries sold about $41 million worth of marijuana in a year, "which equals a $50 (or about an eighth of an ounce) dispensary purchase for every person in the city," Downs reports.

         <title>Kansas Legislature Shows No Interest In Medical Marijuana Bill</title>
         <description>
         <![CDATA[
           ​Even though a bill which would legalize the medical use of marijuana is now in both houses of the Kansas Legislature, lawmakers haven't shown any interest in making it a law.Sen. David Haley (D-Kansas City) introduced Senate Bill 354, the Cannabis Compassion and Care Act, during Monday's session. It was referred to the Senate Public Health and Welfare Committee, where it will likely sit without a hearing, reports Chris Hong at LJWorld."I have no interest on hearing the bill," the arrogant and uncaring Sen. Vicki Schmidt (R-Topeka) said haughtily. Schmidt chairs the Senate Public Health and Welfare Committee.

         <title>AZ Governor Humiliated In Dismissal Of Anti-Marijuana Lawsuit</title>
         <description>
         <![CDATA[
           ​You probably thought that Arizona Governor Jan Brewer's recent anti-medical-marijuana lawsuit -- through which she sought to thwart the will of Arizona's voters, as expressed at the polls -- was not only an exercise in futility, but also damn silly as well.Turns out that you're not the only one who thinks so. U.S. District Court Judge Susan Bolton agrees, and she gave quite a spanking to Gov. Brewer and Arizona Attorney General Tom Horne on January 4 while dismissing the lawsuit.The dismissal came after a December 12 hearing that didn't go well for one of Atty. Gen. Horne's lawyers, reports Ray Stern at Phoenix New Times. Horne -- go figure -- decided to stay away from this one and sent assistant AG Lori Davis to "take one for the team," New Times&nbsp;reports.

         <![CDATA[
          ​By Jack RikessToke of the TownNorthern California CorrespondentTo live outside the law, you must be honest.~ Bob DylanWelcome to the duality of honesty.&nbsp;Clancy is a master-grower. He lives deep up on one of those canyon drives that seems so off the beaten path that it's hard to believe someone actually lives there. &nbsp;Barely in his 30s, Clancy's a kid in terms of the hills and cultivation, but unlike many of his youthful contemporaries, he studies the old ways.

         <description>
         <![CDATA[
          ​San Francisco's on-again, off-again program to license medical marijuana dispensaries in the city has once again resumed operations. The medical cannabis dispensary program resumed licensing and inspecting collectives, Department of Public Health officials announced on Monday.The ove came after the agency said last week that the application process was "suspended indefinitely," and that&nbsp;announcement had come after the city had announced it would continue licensing the shops. And that&nbsp;announcement had come after the initial suspension of licensing in December following a court ruling.
