Johnson/LNC agreement - secrecy clause end date
by Ken Moellman 13 Feb '17

13 Feb '17

A Region 3 member has asked if the time limit on the "secrecy clause" between the LNC and the JW16 campaign has elapsed. If not, when does it elapse? If so, how one can find/read the contents of the agreement that were previously kept private? -- Ken C. Moellman, Jr. LNC Region 3 Alternate Representative LPKY Judicial Committee

I went in to try to come up with alternative language to address the objections that have been raised about this resolution, and ended up doing a comprehensive edit, making numerous changes related to both style and grammar, as well as substance, besides eliminating the language about heroin to which Dan and Whitney voiced objections. Jon and fellow LNC members, please let me know if you find this version (below) acceptable, or have additional thoughts on better wording. The wording in red is new; the wording in strike-through was deleted from the original. I am willing to co-sponsor this version, if Caryn Ann wishes to adopt it as her motion.

Caryn Ann, Without focusing on any other aspects and problems with it, I consider this particular paragraph to be a fatal flaw in this resolution. "WHEREAS, the demand for drugs remains unabated under prohibition -- a policy that has never succeeded. One-third of Americans have used cannabis, and despite strict penalties against narcotics, heroin use is an epidemic that now kills more Americans every year than do automobiles and homicide. Further, drug warfare drives up crime which endangers Americans and terrorizes the people of supplier countries, such as Mexico;" While heroin in a terrible drug and I am sure this is true, mention of heroin in this resolution does not belong. For one the information doesn't seem to flow in the paragraph. Now if it were linked in that paragraph by saying that marijuana prohibition has possibly resulted in greater heroin use, I would have an even bigger problem with it even though this might be true. Someone might reasonably assume that maybe we were advocating for stronger penalties against heroin. It's a trend I see in my state legislature. They move to increase penalties for heroin USE. My suspicion is that Sheriffs are feeling the trend towards cannabis legalization. As drug cartels ramp up their heroin distribution in the face of loss of profits from cannabis sales, those benefiting from what is effectively modern day slavery are seeking to capitalize on this and keep their cash cow prisons. We must not give them assistance in attempting to keep their mechanism to put peaceful people in cages. Interestingly enough, in those cages you can still get heroin. Heroin use is a health issue, not a crime issue. As long as a user disposes of their needles properly and does not drive impaired and does not expose others to harm, those people have a right to choose to potentially harm themselves. They get to decide the risk for their own life. This is entirely the wrong direction that we should be going and must absolutely avoid even the mistaken appearance to be advocating for increasing penalties on heroin. We are advocating for an end to the drug war. We advocate for an immediate end to the drug war on ALL drugs. Leaving ANY drugs illegal creates potential markets for drug cartels to exploit and continue the violence that surrounds their way of doing business while continuing to keep alive modern day slavery under the guise of public good. That said we must take what progress we can and if as seems to be the case, we can make gains towards freedom of choice regarding one drug such as cannabis we must take that opportunity. As somebody that spends a fair amount of time lobbying the legislature in the state with the most draconian drug laws in the country, I can say that our preference of legalizing everything generally won't work if pushed for all together. Unfortunately piece by piece is the way we have to proceed at the present time. The sheriffs will use those other drugs to adequately obfuscate the issue otherwise and we will find ourselves for another year left without any significant progress than we desire. We must take baby steps towards freedom with regards to drugs in order to make progress, but be prepared to make a giant leap if by some chance the opportunity ever arises by some unexpected opportunity. At the same time as we push for reducing cannabis we must be sure to not needlessly bring other drugs into THAT conversation to give the sheriffs and other leos a mechanism to generate fear. However when THEY needlessly bring other drugs into the cannabis conversation we must be ready to point to the real answer of taking power away from the cartels and following the direction Portugal went by treating all drugs the same. What am I saying in a nutshell? The mention of heroin needs to go.

Exactly what the current draft language is, isn't clear to me, but I am certainly supportive of the general idea, especially to the extent it goes beyond discussing only marijuana and references the fundamental right to put whatever we choose into our own bodies.

I am currently a little bogged down with cracking the whip to get the website fixed and to get the IT committee filled out, but the CBD decision is absolutely ridiculous. There are tons of stories of kids who are getting help with CBD, when no other medicine from the pharma companies helped, and this new rule is sentencing kids to having seizures. I mean, seriously, WTF? When I used to do my radio show, I used to emphasize the three different categories: Recreational, Medicinal, and Industrial. I think we should engage MPP or some other outside group like them to give us some stats. # of states with full-legal. # of states with medical THC. # of states with medical CBD. # of states with Industrial Hemp. That's a very good place to start. We could tie in the DEA's latest action as to why full legalization is necessary; because we can't trust the DEA to discern what's "legitimate" and what's "illegitimate" if they're taking CBD away from kids. Industrial Hemp is very good from a "green" perspective, too. Hemp paper is stronger and better. The Constitution is written on hemp, which is why it still exists (unlike tree paper, which is not environmentally friendly and not as long-lasting). We can talk about the violence caused by prohibition. Racism. Incarceration. Making people felons and destroying lives. And all of this nonsense to keep some people from blowing off steam? Personally, I reject the entire notion that it's required to "keep people being productive". Who the hell is anyone to claim what I must produce, or not? I'm an individual, not a cog in a machine.

The recent DEA action to reclassify CBD as Schedule I is completely inexcusable. CBD, beyond other potential health benefits, is medicine for kids with seizures. The DEA claims that this totally ridiculous action is to enforce some UN mandate. This is an opportunity to once again tell the public that the consumption of marijuana, regardless of the THC content, is a peaceful, voluntary act. For some people, it's about material (industrial hemp). For other people, it's medicine (CBD, THC). And yes, for some, it's relaxation (recreational). None of these are violent. Violence is introduced by the state, when laws are written to prohibit these otherwise peaceful actions. I don't consume marijuana, but I don't have to be personally affected to support the life and liberty of others. Despite popular opposition to full legalization, this latest action by the DEA matters to us here in Kentucky -- a state that continues to expand its industrial hemp production and passed a medical CBD bill in the past couple of years. I've already contacted congressmen in KY, two of which support Industrial Hemp and CBD (Massie-R, Comer-R). I'm hopeful that they'll be successful in overturning the FDA on the CBD classification. You have to be one special kind of sick jerk to deny kids medicine that stops them from having seizures. --- Ken C.

LP.org difficulty to bring to attenion
by Caryn Ann Harlos 08 Feb '17

08 Feb '17

Hi everyone, and particularly Ken to put on your radar- It is difficult to find a way to access past news articles on the site. It would be nice if the sub-titles "Libertarians In the News" and "Latest News" were linked and clickable to go to items that have dropped off the front page. BTW I like the changing menu under the slider. -- *In Liberty,* *Caryn Ann Harlos* Region 1 Representative, Libertarian National Committee (Alaska, Arizona, Colorado, Hawaii, Kansas, Montana, Utah, Wyoming, Washington) - Caryn.Ann.
