“I think he should be investigated and impeached,” said Des Moines resident and medical marijuana advocate Mike Pesce. “If you read his e-mail he wrote while he was sitting in this Statehouse, he planned this crime. We can’t have lawmakers sitting in this Statehouse planning crimes.”
Baudler said Wednesday he highly doubts the person he lied to has a medical degree and, therefore, he did not break California’s law.
“I spent 15 minutes with this “doctor” and six of those were used attempting to overcome the language barrier between us (he was an oriental “doctor” and only spoke broken English.)”
“I explained to them that I wanted “medical marijuana,” and was admitted immediately by an armed security guard that had to weigh close to 110 pounds. He had ten earrings on and about his face and ears, and (in my mind) way over the legal limit on tattoos.”
So apparently there is no ethical problem found in Iowa lawmakers lying or publicly admitting to breaking other state’s laws. Good to know.(Des Moines Register) An ethics review has cleared a state lawmaker who admitted he lied about having hemorrhoids to obtain a medical marijuana prescription in California.
In a bipartisan, unanimous vote, the House Ethics Committee decided the complaint didn’t establish any violation of either Iowa Code Section 68b or House ethics.
The committee’s jurisdiction is limited, said Rep. Scott Raecker, R-Urbandale. Members can ascertain only whether there was a violation of those rules and code section. Neither the rules nor code addresses a lawmaker who allegedly broke a law in another state or told a lie, he said.
[Complainant Mike] Pesce said the Iowa Constitution clearly allows for impeachment of a state legislator who commits malfeasance, and Pesce said he believes this was malfeasance.

So true...As the Bob Hope generation dies so does prohibition. Look at the chart posted above. Government really had this generation scared to death of pot, the Russians are coming, etc.
You know when the patent on Marinol expires? Four days from now, I shit you not. Amazing how they start talking seriously about naturally extracting prescription THC for the very first time in Marinol's twenty-eight year history just days before the patent protection that allows them to make a profit well over the high operating costs of synthesizing runs out."Under the proposed rule, in those instances in the future where FDA might approve a generic version of Marinol, that version of the drug will be in the same schedule as the brand name version of the drug, regardless of whether the THC used in the generic version was synthesized by man or derived from the cannabis plant."
and a couple that hit home for me because of the things my son is going through at school with the drone producing non inspiring "test factory" that school has become. He is a creative mind who has no inspiration in math or science, yet his ability to create stories from thin air that can fill a book in minutes to drawing comic books that started at the age of 3.. it isn't enough for them. He won't be a "good enough" producer to society if he doesn't grasp math so they want to hold him back...
