Hey everyone! I just unpacked the last box and am coming up for air. My new grow room is huge but it's been stressing me out. I've been having all sorts of electrical issues. I'm in the process of flushing for two weeks. It's been a lot of work. I had a broken toe during the move and was limping pretty badly. Then I blew out my knee because I was limping so much. So then I blew out my other knee. The good news is that I had so many cool people help me for many hours and days. I had a big party at the house last weekend. I almost tripled the square footage of my house and grow area. So, where's my man! Wish you were here

Reporting from Sacramento - Two weeks after federal judges ordered California to reduce its prison population, an arm of the Schwarzenegger administration is set to vote on increased funding to police anti-drug units, potentially putting even more offenders behind bars.
An advisory board for the California Emergency Management Agency is expected to decide today whether to channel $33 million in federal money to narcotics task forces around the state that have proved particularly adept at apprehending drug criminals.
Critics of government drug policies say that money should instead be directed to drug-treatment programs whose funding has been sliced amid California's budget woes.
"While one side of the government is addressing prison overcrowding, another side seems to be acting directly counter to that goal," said Margaret Dooley-Sammuli, deputy state director of the nonprofit Drug Policy Alliance.
The bulk of the money is slated to help multi-jurisdictional task forces in all 58 California counties that investigate and apprehend narcotics offenders.
Money also would go to marijuana-suppression efforts around the state and the California Bureau of Narcotic Enforcement, which coordinates with federal agents on border drug trafficking.
John Lovell, a spokesman for the California Narcotics Officers' Assn., called the Drug Policy Alliance opposition "predictable" but wrong at a time when Mexican drug cartels are boosting methamphetamine production and operating marijuana plantations in state forests, including the one blamed for starting a wildfire Aug. 8 in Santa Barbara County.
He said the spending on anti-drug task force efforts is "not only appropriate, it's too bad the amount isn't larger."
Dooley-Sammuli believes the bulk of the money would go toward generating more arrests of street-level offenders, not on cracking down on high-level drug criminals.
"We're not getting the best bang for our buck," she said.

Sensible Handling of Marijuana Offenders is Crucial to Prison Reforms
Fri, Aug 21, 2009 12:01 pmmore: headline news, drug policy news, california
Source: www.capitolweekly.net
Among the many hard questions faced by legislators under the current budget mandate to cut $1.2 billion in corrections spending, there's at least one easy answer: release non-violent marijuana offenders and reform penalties for some marijuana offenses.
Patching the hole in our prison budget is going to require much more than early release programs. Serious sentencing reforms are inevitable, especially considering the looming court order to reduce the inmate population by 27 percent.
With dangerously overcrowded prisons, Californians can no longer afford to waste valuable cell space - not to mention the annual per-inmate cost of $49,000 - on non-violent marijuana offenders. If you think this conclusion is way too obvious to merit the column-inches in this publication, you might be surprised to know who didn't include marijuana sentencing reform in his list of prison cuts.
Incredibly, early reports of the Gov. Schwarzenegger's forthcoming proposal to trim the prison budget suggest he would rather reduce penalties for crimes like auto theft, receiving stolen property, or writing bad checks than for offenders charged with growing even a single marijuana plant or selling a joint. The governor's plan would change some property crimes that are currently charged as felonies to misdemeanors, but, bizarrely, leave felony penalties for victimless marijuana offenses intact.
Ironically, Gov. Schwarzenegger recently dismissed the idea of taxing and regulating marijuana as not being worth the $1.4 billion in new revenue it would bring to the state, but now he's trying to tell us that reducing penalties for car thieves is a perfectly fine way to save a few bucks. No wonder confidence in state government is at a record low in California.


Although the state "decriminalized" marijuana possession over 30 years ago and most of the state's voters now support taxing and regulating marijuana sales, it remains a felony to grow even one plant or sell a single joint in California. According to the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, 1,538 marijuana offenders are housed in California's jam-packed prisons. This figure does not include the undoubtedly larger number of inmates returned to prison on marijuana-related parole violations, such as testing positive for marijuana.
It's time for the legislature to show common sense and include non-violent marijuana offenses in the inevitable sentencing reform package.
Currently, marijuana cultivation, possession for sale, and transportation - of even for the smallest amounts - are always treated as felonies. A smart reform would be to allow district attorneys discretion to prosecute these offenses as either felonies or misdemeanors. This way, the person who sells a gram of marijuana to his neighbor doesn't end up in the state corrections system along side dangerous criminals.
Lawmakers should also finally act on a seven-year-old suggestion from the Legislative Analyst's Office (LAO) by reducing penalties for simple possession of hashish (concentrated marijuana resin) from a felony to a misdemeanor. The LAO's 2002 report estimated that this simple change would save the state $4.8 million. Possession of marijuana is already treated as a misdemeanor -- there's no good reason why possessing hashish, which is equivalent to marijuana in terms of associated risks, shouldn't be treated equally under the law.
Amending the marijuana laws is not only one of the better prison reform options in terms of public safety, it would also be safe politically. Nobody in their right mind wants the law to go easier on a car thief than a person who grows a marijuana plant in his or her backyard. And polling indicates that most Californians want marijuana legal these days, anyway.
We clearly cannot afford to lock up everyone who grows or sells marijuana - especially when we could be controlling its sales through regulations akin to those imposed on alcohol vendors and using the tax revenues to pay for enforcement.
Reforming penalties for victimless marijuana offenses is a good idea in terms of the immediate prison fix, but a substantial overhaul of our corrections system is still needed to address the bigger problems our state faces. Lawmakers should support legally taxing and regulating marijuana as part of a long-term plan to solve California's criminal justice crisis. 

More than 100 million Americans - including our own governor - have used marijuana and led perfectly functional, productive lives. It's about time our elected leaders produce a functional marijuana policy in California.
I did the math and for the 1536 inmates that are housed in California prisions at a rate of $49K a year, that equals a COST of $75,264,000.00 per year! We need to do something about this!
