Hillary Clinton has been loosing face in the media lately, it seems to be no different on the Internet. AlterNET posted a piece on Hillary's plans for drug reform, it's a nice read and has a few bits about Hillary's views on medical Marijuana that may surprise you, here's a snip:

Last week, Hillary told Oregon's Willamette Week, "I don't think it's a good use of federal law-enforcement resources to be going after people who are supplying marijuana for medicinal purposes." She stopped short of her earlier pledge to end US Drug Enforcement Administration raids of medical marijuana establishments in states where it is legal, but said this would not be a high priority in her administration. So we might see a slight softening on some levels in America's longest war, the 100-year drug war, but overall we will still see more money spent on failed policies if Hillary moves back to the White House in 2009.

I'm glad she shows some semblance of sanity on the Marijuana clubs, but her over-all plan seems a little off. Which candidate do you think has the best policy on drugs?

The Coloradoan reports that a medical Marijuana co-op will be opening in Ft. Collins, Colorado. I'm glad to see our neighbors to the east gaining ground in the medical Marijuana movement. Here's a snip:

Colorado voters legalized the medical use of marijuana in 2000 when they passed Amendment 20.

Patients interested in medical marijuana must first get a doctor's prescription and a state-issued registration card with the name of their caregiver before they can legally grow, buy or use marijuana to relieve their symptoms.

"We have to be very diligent in following the way the law is written as closely as possible," Fleming said.

The couple serves as caregivers to about 10 patients, Fleming said, but he expects that to increase as word spreads.

Fort Collins police said they were unaware of the new business, but as long as the Flemings comply with state law there is no problem.

"If this grower is certified, then they can grow it for other legal users," aid Rita Davis, spokeswoman for Fort Collins Police Services.
