Monday, 6 October 2014, NEW YORK, NEW YORK - In another significant blow to vicious international criminal organizations that have flourished and gone on to spread harder drugs, forced whole countries into needless tragedies of mass violence, facilitated a proliferation of deadly weapons and criminal behavior to all points of the globe, corrupted whole governments and the world's financial institutions and law enforcement agencies at every level, funded terror organizations that have taken what was a phony "war" into very real wars funded globally destabilizing countries and terrorizing whole populations worldwide, put untold millions of persons behind bars for non-violent conduct often with racially disgraceful prison terms either effectively or by operation of highly questionable operation of law in misguided mandatory prison terms leaving any sentencing discretion in the hands of the vulgar abuses of prosecutors rather than the courts, reeked havoc on the United States Constitution's most fundamental rights once protecting citizens from unwarranted invasions of privacy, searches and seizures without legally sufficient cause, turned all law enforcement actions into unnecessarily violent and characteristically unnecessarily military-style raids by overpowering force against citizens on the streets, in their cars, and even into the once-sanctity of their homes often causing lifelong trauma for citizens in all walks of life who law enforcement seem long ago in this country completely to have forgotten are innocent until proven guilty and often diverting much-needed law enforcement resources from crimes against others of real concern to the American people, propelled the Courts into tortured interpretations and disparaging distortions and destruction of the Constitution (just because the word "drugs" appears in prosecutions and now untold judicial opinions which by the Courts' own reasoning one day now with a keystroke can be changed in a moment from "drugs" to "unauthorized" or "threatening papers" or whatever the State may choose) and caused so much other needless thoughtless harm and suffering it would take volumes to recount along with the huge amount of vital tax, monetary, human and other precious resources that have been completely needlessly diverted that the members of the editorial board of the Ninth Amendment a quarter of a century ago had the opportunity to and did predict these very results to some of the United States' and Great Britain's present and future leading legal minds (at the same time that The Economist's cover editorial called unequivocally for the decriminalization of all drugs) that were perfectly obvious even from another quarter century earlier with the introduction for totally unrelated politically expedient reasons by the disgraced Republican criminal resigned former President Richard M. Nixon and his administration with the introduction of its characteristically totally phony "War on Drugs" now the entire editorial board of the New York Times in its issue of this date now being printed finally calls for what it states is supported by the fact that "a majority of Americans favor legalization" of marijuana thus the Times in all three jurisdictions Alaska, the Nation's Capital the District of Columbia, and Oregon in the United States where the issue is on next month's ballot noting that marijuana is "far less harmful than alcohol" calls for citizens wholesale rejection of the prohibition of pot by what the Times calls a "misguided federal ban". Interested readers may read the The New York Times entire editorial board's front page announcement's full editorial by following the link below.

The Ninth Amendment to the Constitution is the strongest statement therein that powers not expressly granted the State are retained as rights of the People. The State has misconstrued, misrepresented, ignored, and denied the People's rights by elimination of protections reserved alone to them, not recognized by the Supreme Court, the Legislative, and worst the Executive Branch in the illegitimate exercise of draconian powers which unlawfully disparage the inalienable rights of the People.

JAMA Internal Medicine Publishes Study Concluding With Researchers' Suspicion That Availability Of Legalized Medical Marijuana In 13 States From 1999-2010 May Be Reason For Reduced Annual Opioid Overdose Deaths By 24.8%
Sunday, 31 August 2014, PHILADELPHIA - U.S. News & World Report in the first article with link below this post cites a recent study reported in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) Internal Medicine concluding that the availability of legalized medical marijuana in 13 states from 1999-2010 is suspected of being responsible for a most significant drop in the the average annual rate of opioid overdose deaths by about 24.8% during that period in just those same states. That is a dramatic reduction in deaths of almost exactly one quarter.
Researchers reporting the study's findings in JAMA Internal Medicine suspected that this steep reduction was based on the circumstance that in the states in which medical marijuana is legal opioid overdose deaths dropped greatly because patients' use of opioids as painkillers was believed to have been curtailed with some patients able to manage pain successfully by substituting marijuana which is not believed ever to have caused an overdose death.
The link to the article is provided below for interested readers and is followed by links to two more U.S. News & World Report articles from last year with the first chronicling one man's struggle to recovery from addiction to prescription painkillers, cocaine, heroin and drinking and the second focused on his mother's perspective on his addiction.

Texas GOP Idiot Governor Rick "Payback" Perry Calls For Texas Marijuana Decriminalization To Swiss Audience Amidst Doubts As To His Sincerity Or Comprehension Of What He Was Saying And/Or Was Told To Say
Tuesday, 24 June 2014, SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS - Texas "Idiot" Governor Rick "Payback" Perry speaking to an international conference in Switzerland last week reportedly called for the decriminalization of marijuana in Texas for the first time ever. Interested readers may make their own determination by clicking on the below link whether accompanying statements by Perry's spokeswoman reported in the article indicate if the Perry administration understands the exact meaning of "decriminalization" of pot. But then who are we at the Ninth Amendment to parse words?
Comments following the below article seem to indicate that few if any commenters took Perry seriously either because they merely assumed he was lying, just had wanted to go on another big overseas trip with his traveling carnival paid for by Texas taxpayers, or simply remained very confused, i.e. perhaps in reflecting (if Perry is capable of reflecting) on his infamous "freeze" in the nationally televised Republican Presidential candidates' debate when he forgot which federal executive departments and/or agencies he had proposed eliminating as part of his campaign platform but has since misremembered one as having been the DEA.
