I'm 43 years-old and the term "squeef" has been around since I was in high school.

Whatever, though.  Call it bluefish for all I care.

Corzine: I'd sign medical marijuana bill into NJ law

Gov. Jon Corzine, D-Hoboken, says he'll sign the medical marijuana bill into law in New Jersey if the state Assembly passes it. It passed the state Senate on Monday.Gov. Jon Corzine, D-Hoboken, said on Brian Lehrer's radio show this morning that he'll sign the medical marijuana bill into New Jersey law if it passes the state Assembly, according to the Associated Press.

The bill passed the state Senate on Monday and now goes to the Assembly.

New Jersey Gov. Jon S. Corzine says he'll "absolutely" sign a medical marijuana bill for chronically and terminally ill patients if it gets to his desk.
Corzine, a Democrat running for re-election, made the comments Wednesday morning on WNYC radio's "Brian Lehrer Show."

He told Lehrer the law could be structured so patients are comfortable and there are safeguards against abuses.

The Senate approved the bill Monday. It faces an uncertain fate in the Assembly.

Thirteen states have medical marijuana laws on the books. All but four came about because of voter referendums. In New Jersey, the Legislature must change the law.

Supporters of programs to provide legal marijuana to patients with painful medical conditions are celebrating Attorney General Eric Holder's statement this week that the Drug Enforcement Administration would end its raids on state-approved marijuana dispensaries.

Federal raids on medical marijuana distributors continued at least into the second week of Barack Obama's presidency, when federal agents shut down at least two dispensaries in California on Feb. 3.

Holder was asked about those raids Wednesday in Santa Ana, Calif., at a news conference that was called to announce the arrests of 755 people in a nationwide crackdown on the U.S. operations of Mexican drug cartels. He said such operations would no longer be conducted.

"What the president said during the campaign ... will be consistent with what we will be doing here in law enforcement," he said. "What (Obama) said during the campaign ... is now American policy."

Obama indicated during the presidential campaign that he supported the controlled use of marijuana for medical purposes, saying he saw no difference between medical marijuana and other pain-control drugs.

"My attitude is if the science and the doctors suggest that the best palliative care and the way to relieve pain and suffering is medical marijuana, then that's something I'm open to," Obama said in November 2007 at a campaign stop in Audubon, Iowa. "There's no difference between that and morphine when it comes to just giving people relief from pain."

White House spokesman Nick Shapiro hinted at the policy shift shortly after the California raids, telling The Washington Times that the dispensaries were legal in California and that the Obama administration's stance was that "federal resources should not be used to circumvent state laws."

Major shift in federal policy
The new policy represents a significant turnabout for the federal government. During the Bush administration, DEA agents shut down 30 to 40 marijuana dispensaries, the agency said. 

The Web site of the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy had yet to catch up to the policy shift as of Friday afternoon, and was still prominently featuring a " Medical Marijuana Reality Check" declaring that "marijuana is not considered modern medicine" and arguing that "no animal or human data support the safety or efficacy of smoked marijuana for general medical use."

Thirteen states allow the cultivation, sale and use of medical marijuana.

Armentano said the shift would add momentum to campaigns in states that are considering their own medical marijuana laws. The New Jersey Senate approved such a bill Monday, and Gov. Jon Corzine said he would sign it if it cleared the state Assembly.

Prohibition doesn't work.

Squeef.

[Tomahawk]

Prohibitions breed disrespect for the law because despite draconian penalties and extensive enforcement, huge numbers of people still violate prohibition. This means those who break the law, and those who do not, learn that obeying laws is for suckers.

People will use this stuff whether it's legal or not. Just like they do booze. And you could make the argument that in some cases alcohol is just as dangerous as some drugs. I know.

What does he mean with this line? Is Cafferty a drunk or something?
