The recently passed New York Secure Ammunition and Firearms Enforcement, or NYSAFE, Act has gun owners upset over its limits on guns and ammunition.
But a component of the law that is supposed to prevent severely mentally ill people from using guns to harm themselves or others has north country mental health care professionals fearing it could have the reverse effect.
Jefferson County Mental Health Association Executive Director Theodore R. Tedd Stiles Jr. blasted the law, saying its very confusing and could create widespread stigma about mental illness.
People with mental illness may not seek treatment, he said, for fear of loss of their weapons, therefore putting themselves or others in potentially more danger if their illness is not managed.
Mr. Stiles said part of problem about the law is people do not understand mental illness, which he described as chemical imbalances in the brain that have symptoms that display themselves through actions or behaviors. Drugs and therapy together help the mentally ill restore wellness, he said.
People are often embarrassed to seek treatment for something they cant see, Mr. Stiles said. Theyre so locked in; the brain is telling them nothing is wrong. With mental illness, you dont realize theres another way to live.
Jefferson County Community Services Director Roger J. Ambrose said the vast majority of people dont understand the law.
Were also trying to decide what does this mean to us, he said.
People with mental illness, Mr. Ambrose said, already face losing housing, relationships, children and jobs. And in some cases, people who commit horrific crimes do not seek treatment for their issues, he said.
He said if you applied the NYSAFE Act nationally, the only mass shooting in the last few years that likely could have been prevented was the Aurora, Colo., movie theater shooting, as many media outlets reported the shooter sought treatment from mental health professionals.
The mental health portion of the NYSAFE Act now requires physicians, psychologists, registered nurses and licensed clinical social workers in exercise of their reasonable professional judgment, to make a report for whom they are providing mental health treatment is likely to engage in conduct that will cause serious harm to self or others, according to a guidance document provided by the state Office of Mental Health.
The reporting system begins with that initial alarm, and the provider is required to make a report to the state Office of Mental Health. From there, the state office will alert local counties Community Services directors. Upon review of the report, Community Services offices may forward it with only nonclinical information to the state Division of Criminal Justice Services.
They look to see if that person has a weapon, or license to carry a firearm, Mr. Ambrose said. Those are suspended and a law enforcement department if theyre in possession of a weapon they have to look at retrieving those weapons.
That process may be appealed, he said.
Jefferson County Sheriff John P. Burns said the Sheriffs Department, or state police, would retrieve any weapons outside of Watertown city limits. The Watertown Police Department would handle those issues in the city.
It just went into effect last week, Mr. Burns said of the reporting system. We havent had any issues since its been in place.
In the first week, the Sheriffs Department has not had to retrieve any weapons.
If someone tries to purchase a weapon after his has been taken away, a federal firearms licensee will be alerted from the National Instant Criminal Background Check System whether that person is prohibited from receiving or possessing a firearm, according to the guidance document. The federal Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act of 1993, which the system is under, also prohibits the receipt or possession of firearms by an individual who has been adjudicated as having a mental disability or has been involuntarily committed to a mental institution.
The NYSAFE Act does not mean more training is necessary to handle situations involving those with mental illnesses, Mr. Burns said, as deputies went through school and learned how to handle those situations.
If providers dont report something, either because they deem it not to be of concern or because they fear for their own safety, and a shooting occurs, the courts may decide who is responsible for any crime committed, Mr. Ambrose said.
Most Mental Health Association members have good therapeutic relationships, Mr. Stiles said, so a lot of the NYSAFE Act hype may not even apply to them.
He said some common mental illness diagnoses include depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, disassociative identity disorder, schizophrenia and alcohol and substance abuse. Not all people with mental illness are crazy, he said, although that is what many people may assume.
The fight is way uphill, he said. To get society to change their views is very difficult.
The mentally ill are more apt to be the victim of a crime than the perpetrator, he said.

CANTON - Madrid-Waddington will be looking for its second title in three years and host Canton will be looking for its first championship since 2008 when the 35th annual Burkman Classic Holiday Boys Basketball Tournament concludes tonight.
M-W (3-3) methodically pulled away to a 61-36 victory over Hermon-DeKalb (0-7) and Canton (2-3) displayed great balance in the second half to down defending champion Edwards-Knox (3-4) 69-61.
M-W 61 - H-D 33: Maurice Rease buried a pair of threes scoring eight first quarter points to spark the Jackets and finished with 13-first half points, seven rebounds and three steals.
Also contributing impact efforts forM-W were: Jacob Barney (8 points. 6 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals), David Odendahl (10 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists, 4 steals), Alex Hammond (6 points, 6 rebounds) and Luke Miller (8 rebounds).
Zach Brock netted nine points and Brandon Vice buried a long three-pointers for the winners.
The guys are improving. Weve had some injuries but we are coming around, said M-W Coach Aaron Jones.
Trevor Rolfe and Cody Merritt each netted nine points leading H-D.
Canton 69 - E-K 61: The Bears outscored the Cougars 43-34 in the second half where: Tom Christy hit three threes scoring 10 points, Louden Porter buried a three scoring seven points and Scott White netted eight of his 10 points.
Francesco Palumbo tallied 19 points to lead a balanced winning offense which also featured 11 points from Evan LaPoint who went 4-4 from the foul line in the fourth quarter where the Bears went 10 of 13 as a team.
Kaden Dandrow tallied a game-high 26 points for E-K and netted 11 in the fourth quarter leading a determined Cougar effort. Dan Pharoah tallied 15 points and Jeremiah Randell netted nine on three threes.
Francesco Palumbo carried us in the first half but in the second half we did a great job sharing the ball. We had a 11 assists in the second half, said Canton Coach Bill Porter.
Their big men were very tough to control. You have to cover Kaden Dandrow all over the court and that created chances for Dan Pharoah who had a big game tonight.
M-W and Canton will also meet in the JV championship games after wins over H-D and E-K. M-W prevailed 42-24 led by 16 points from Austin Delosh and 11 points from John Lenney.

Comments about FEA Merchandising Revolver T-Shirt:
This shirt is on-sale due to limited stock. They only have it in black and in size small or extra-large but... This is the cool part. To reproduce the album cover as originally released would require a white background. As this is on a black background, it has a neat and somewhat surreal reverse-negative look to it. What should be white is now black and what should be black is now off-white. It is super cool and I would recommend it to someone looking for a distinctive and unique Beatles shirt. The small is rather small so anyone who wears a large shoud find the XL to be a perfect fit. I am shrimp so the small fits quite nicely. It is 100% cotton so if you wear a medium and like a loose fit, you can throw the XL in the dryer and it should fit with no problem. I took the advertisement's photo cropped out the shirt's body then reversed the colors to show you what it actually looks like.

|Ginipro Adds Four to 2013 ASU Squad
|Written by Ryan Bower
|Friday, 03 May 2013 05:57
Appalachian State University volleyball head coach Matt Ginipro announced the addition of four players to his squad for the 2013 campaign on Thursday.
"Like our first batch of incoming players, this group of incoming Mountaineers consists of talented players who are also outstanding people with great families," said Ginipro. "All four fill in spaces that will greatly improve our program and make our gym significantly more competitive."
The latest group of incoming players consists of four high-school standouts in Taneisha Crockett (Knoxville, Tenn./Hardin Valley Academy), Leah Hawkins (Weaverville, N.C./A.C. Reynolds), Olivia Reed (Gainesville, Fla./Buchholz) and Katie Stammen (Raleigh, N.C./Leesville Road).
"After having a small roster this past season, I'm looking forward to having a large group of talented players in the gym pushing each other to get better every day," said Ginipro.
Taneisha Crockett
5-10 • Outside Hitter
Knoxville, Tenn.
Hardin Valley Academy
Crockett will join the Mountaineers after helping lead Hardin Valley Academy to a 44-13 record during her senior campaign and a top-15 ranking in the state of Tennessee. A multiple-time all-state selection, Crockett ended her senior campaign with 471 kills (3.2 k/s) while recording 97 blocks (45 solo) and 20 service aces along with a .293 attack percentage. She played club volleyball for K2 Volleyball in Knoxville along with future teammate Leah Hawkins.
Ginipro's Comments: "Taneisha will be used to hitting off of Leah as they're playing club ball together right now. Taneisha is a great athlete who is currently a middle hitter where we will probably move her to an outside hitting position. I have no doubt she'll pick that up quickly and being to produce for us."
Leah Hawkins
5-9 • Setter
Weaverville, N.C.
A.C. Reynolds High School
Hawkins comes to Boone after an outstanding high school career in which she earned all-conference honors three times and served as a team captain at A.C. Reynolds in each of her final three seasons. She also played club volleyball for K2 Volleyball in Knoxville along with future Mountaineer Taneisha Crockett. She finished her senior campaign with 309 assists, 256 digs, 139 kills and 33 service aces in 82 sets played.
Ginipro's Comments: "Leah will bolster our setting group and create more competition in that position. She delivers a very consistent set that our hitters will enjoy. I'm sure once she adjusts to the speed of the collegiate game, Leah will be a very good setter for us."
Olivia Reed
5-7 • Libero/Defensive Specialist
Gainesville, Fla.
Buchholz High School
Reed comes to the High Country after earning all-area honors as a senior. She finished her final high school season with 201 kills, 209 digs and a team-best 45 aces. Reed competed in club volleyball for Ocala Power, where she helped lead her team to a third-place finish at AAU Nationals.
Ginipro's Comments: "Olivia impressed us greatly during camp last summer. While she will come in and challenge for the libero position right away, Olivia has the ability to play a hitting position for us as well. She's an exceptional athlete and someone who will run through a wall for her team."
Kati Stammen
5-5 • Libero/Defensive Specialist
Raleigh, N.C.
Leesville Road High School
Stammen will join the App State volleyball program after earning all-conference and conference Player of the Year honors as a senior. In addition, she played club volleyball for Triangle Volleyball where she earned all-tournament honors four times, MVP honors twice and was named Best Libero in 2010. As a senior, Stammen helped Leesville Road to a 27-1 record and a No. 2 ranking in the state of North Carolina. She ended her final season with 5.1 digs per set to go along with 445 digs and 57 service aces.
Ginipro's Comments: "Kati is another player who will come in and push for playing time at the libero position. Kati is a well-trained defensive player who also had a great camp this past summer. She is also a big competitor who wants to do what she can to help her team win."

BUFFALO, NY - The largest non-profit healthcare provider in Western New York has reached a tentative contract agreement with their unionized employees.
Kaleida Health informed 2 On Your Side of the agreement early Thursday morning.
"The new agreement is an investment in our employees, with a continued commitment to providing market-competitive wages, benefits and employment conditions. Just as important, it will also help Kaleida Health navigate a very difficult economy and ever-changing healthcare industry," said James R. Kaskie, President and CEO of Kaleida Health.
Calls placed to union officials were not returned early Thursday morning.
The three-year contract covers more than 7,300 unionized employees who are represented by the Communications Workers of America, International Union of Operating Engineers and United Healthcare Workers East.
Both sides were working under an extended agreement that was set to expire on June 21st as labor and management met with a federal mediator to try to hammer out a deal.
The labor workers approved a vote last week that gave their negotiators permission to give Kaleida a 10 day strike notice.
It took both sides 32 negotiating sessions to come to the tentative agreement.
Negotiations began on March 2nd.
Kaleida facilities include Buffalo General Medical Center, Millard Fillmore Suburban, DeGraff Hospital and Women and Children's Hospital.

<_< I kinda agree what the MS guy said...however, with the support of three powerful North Asian countries....MS will face a critical challenge one day in the OS platform market...
By then, LINUX will be one of its biggest competitor! :mellow:
Wanna know the reason?
Japan, China, S. Korea to junk Windows for Linux
Posted:10:01 PM (Manila Time) | Sept. 04, 2003
IT WOULD seem Windows has become less attractive to the more affluent Asian countries.
According to a Japanese news report, the governments of Japan, S.Korea, and China are planning to co-develop an open-source operating system to replace the Microsoft operating system for large-scale use in their respective countries.
The initiative was said to bring the said countries together in the development of the software, as their technology bigwigs from private and government agencies were set to meet in late 2003 to discuss specifics of the collaboration.
Linux would thus be positioned at the core of the initiative and would be implemented in critical areas of business and government service networks. Previously, Linux only occupied marginal positions in the data center, particularly in non-critical file, print, and e-mail services.
The open-source software was virtually a non-entity in the mission-critical space in the Asian market, as database and transaction servers were considered largely dominated by Windows and Unix servers. According to a study conducted by the Framingham, Massachusetts-based International Data Corp., only about six percent of servers in the region have installed Linux as against the 50 percent of Windows.
This is due to the generally untested capacity of Linux in the enterprise in terms of reliability, scalability, and security. However, Oracle had claimed "unbreakable" capacity of its Linux software in which it had made mission-critical tasks and operations on the database. This provided the necessary spark for the eventual entry of Linux into more data centers, now highlighted by the reported Japan-Korea-China initiative.
According to the report published in the Japanese news daily Nihon Keizai Shimbun, the initiative was first discussed in a conference of over a hundred software engineers from the three Asian countries in Thailand last March.
The initiative was strengthened by the fact that Japan, Korea, and China have active developer communities for the Linux platform, particularly in the embedded Linux area, in which the software is integrated in home appliances and industrial equipment.
With the countries? governments pledging to support open-source, citing security and cost issues in available commercial software, it would not be long before Linux would have made a significant push into the Asian enterprise market, thanks to the reported three-nation initiative.

MASSENA - Employees of Alcoa East who have been worrying about their future since a Jan. 15 announcement that the company would be shutting down the final two potlines at the former Reynolds Metals plant will get some answers today.
A settlement between the Alcoa and United Steelworkers Local 450-A was reached Wednesday afternoon. However, the details of that settlement will not be made public until union leaders have had the opportunity to share those details with fellow union members.
The meetings will likely answer questions about whether Alcoa East employees will be able to transfer to openings at Alcoa West and the scope of any early retirement options.
In a statement released Wednesday evening, Local 450-a President David W. LaClair Jr. said, United Steelworkers Local 450-A will be holding special meetings to discuss the options available to its members. These meetings will be held at the community center on Beach Street at 3:30 and 6:30 p.m. Thursday (tonight). If an employee is unable to attend they may contact the union hall at 769-7510 and the information will be relayed to them.
Alcoa announced the closure of the plants final two potlines earlier this month, saying at that time they hope to have the lines idled in the first quarter of this year. The company previously closed a potline there in August.
When the decision to close the plants final two potlines was made, Alcoa Global Primary Products President Bob Wilt said the company was planning to negotiate with its employees to minimize the impact the announcement would have.
We will be working with our unions, state, local and other stakeholders to minimize the impact of these changes, he said through a statement released at that time.
According to Alcoa Media & Corporate Relations Manager Christa Bowers Alcoas east plant employes 332 employees. The west plant employs 669, she said.
A contract with the New York Power Authority requires Alcoa to maintain 900 jobs in Massena to keep its allotment of low-cost hydropower. Alcoa, in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, has said it would utilize 50 employees to demolish the East plant potlines.
In a statement released Wednesday evening, Ms. Bowers said the two sides worked cooperatively to reach an agreement.
Alcoa and the United Steelworkers worked cooperatively to reach agreement on minimizing the impact of the potline closures at Massena East on hourly employees. The USW will communicate details of the agreement to its membership, she said.
Mayor James F. Hidy said the best case scenario would be no lay-offs with long-term positions found for each of the plants employees.
Realizing though thats unlikely, Mr. Hidy said, Were hoping the negotiations solidified plant expansion, and that few, if any, people will be laid off.
Mr. Hidy said hes hoping to see minimal impacts for both management and hourly employees.
He also said that he believes Alcoa understands how important they are to the region.
I think Alcoa realizes the impact of any decision they make, whether it be positive or negative, effects not only Massena, but all of St. Lawrence County and part of Franklin County, he said. Theres a lot on the line here.

I bet it's scary when the boat pops! :s
lol! when i was in cyprus the the bottom of my blow up bot...collaped and so now it is litterally a massive rubber ring....a bottomless boat....
It started at the end of school:
I had got on the bus, just like normal. There was quite thick snow, but it wasn't settling.
As we got nearer to my house, we approached a steep hill. The snow was starting to settle now
and we had found out that about 800 yards ahead a lorry was on it's side. Because of this
there was a huge traffic jam and we had to wait for ages.
After about 20 minutes of waiting, the snow had become extremely deep.
It was not possible for the bus to fit through the gaps and carry on, so we had to wait for a very long time.
After half an hour, we all were ringing our parents. We were not allowed off the bus alone, so the only
way we'd get back was walking (such fun) through the snow blizzard, or having your parents pick us up.
My mum or dad do not have a 4 wheel drive, so we went with someone else.
Someone's dad arrived to walk some people down, (mad idea in that snow)
soon other adults came to pick us up.
There were 5 of us left, the rest had either walked or got a lift in a car.
After staying in the bus for 1 hour, we finally were offered a place in a car.
We had to walk down the hill to get to it, and that included walking through the now 1ft deep snow.
And to add to all of the horribleness of getting hit by snow in the face, getting freezing and not being
able to see anything (it was now very dark), MY SHOE CAME OFF.
the complete wrong time to come off. The other bad times my shoes have chosen to come of were:
In the middle of a road (It was almost run over!!)
In a giant puddle (My foot was wet)
On the science corridor stairs (I tripped)
But because of all the snow, my shoe was buried under the snow!! (I did find it!)
So once we had squashed into the car (I had to share a seatbelt with my sister), we then had to drive down this
really steep hill, in the snow and in the dark BACKWARDS. It was pretty scary. And we haven't even got to the most
terrifying bit yet!! And it was also really sad. There was a car on it's head. I hope the people in it were ok- there weren't any sirens
A bit further down the hill, the person who was driving the car left to see what was happening ahead.
And guess what?
When we were still in the land rover, when the driver had gone, the car slowly started slipping down the hill on its own accord and we were in it!
It was really scary, and we all ran out of the car! We managed to stop it but aqhlkjfdyhgrb... I WAS TERRIFIED!!!!!!
Anyway, when the driver got back in we continued to make our way down the hill.
We swapped to someone else's car (which included more painful walking in the really deep snow)
And after that- Well, we drove home! But it was so horrible... something to remember though!
But you know when you're waiting in a car park for your mum to come out of the shops, or waiting for a ride at a theme park?
That was what it was like on the bus. We were on there for an hour. I know that doesn't sound long, but oh man,
it felt long.
Well, as I always say YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE.
I just hope it never happens again

Online, the individual offered 200,000 to whomever can find this young lady. If he does not pay up, he said he expects to be prosecuted under law.
The girl in the photos appears to have the same "pure" qualities that the Southern Raised Girl, who previously captured hearts, also has. In the photos, the young girl puts on her boots, fishes for clams, and then extracts a pearl.
It's unclear if the individual is offering 200,000 yuan, which is roughly US$31,000.
There's also suspicion that the whole thing is a publicity stunt for this young lady, not to mention the whole thing being on the creepy rich guy side.

Sara Cain returns for her fourth season on the Creighton staff and her second as the Director of Basketball Operations. Cain served as the Jays' graduate manager from 2000-10. Among her many duties, the former Bluejay captain is responsible for all travel arrangements, involved with film exchange, game management and camps. She also assists in opponent film analysis and game plan preparation.
A two-year starter for the Bluejays, Cain started 64 of the 121 games she played in from 2004-08. The forward concluded her career ranked fifth in school history in games played and eighth with a 75.9 career free throw percentage.
The Walford, Iowa, native was a McDonald's All-American nominee at Cedar Rapids Prairie High School before attending Creighton. Cain had a breakout junior campaign with the Jays, leading the team with 10.6 points per game, scoring more points as a junior than her first two seasons combined. She concluded her junior season with a career-high 24 points in the Missouri Valley Conference Tournament championship game and earned MVC All-Tournament Team honors for her play in the event.
As a senior, she topped the team with 19 double-figure scoring games for the second straight season, finishing with 10.5 points and a career-best 5.5 rebounds per game to earn Second Team All-MVC honors. She was a two-time MVC Scholar-Athlete Second Team selection, and was named to the Division I-AAA Athletics Directors Association Scholar-Athlete Team and the ESPN The Magazine CoSIDA Academic All-District VII Second Team as a senior. A dean's list honoree all four years, she finished her career with 894 points and 483 rebounds.
Cain's older twin brothers, Nathan and Brett, were also collegiate athletes, playing football at Nebraska Omaha and basketball at Wayne State (Neb.), respectively, while younger sister Lindsey played basketball at Northern Iowa.
Cain earned her undergraduate degree in exercise science with a minor in biology from Creighton in 2008.
Flanery on Cain:
"Sara does everything that nobody else wants to do and a lot of the other stuff. She is the person that holds everything together. She cares tremendously about the program because she played here. She values Creighton and the young women that she gets to work with. She makes everyone else's job easier."

Born in Bountiful, raised in Farmington ("Heaven" as Brad put it), by his two best friends and heroes, Pamela Parrish Barton and Noel Reneer Barton. Brad packed a lot of life into 31 years.
According to Brad, his greatest moments are a District Championship won at Farmington Jr. High, a reigning career as family tennis champion (and also an undefeated collegiate tennis record, 1-0), a flawless pick-up ball career, a 14-0 record, a Big Sky Championship and an NCAA berth at Weber State, and every beautiful moment spent within the lines (or as far outside the bounds as he wanted to play) of the basketball court.
When dealt diabetes at 14, Brad continuously commented, "Worse things have happened to better people." The toughest, most competitive, comedic, loyal, thoughtful, passionate and compassionate friend to all. Gratitude and optimism were his core, knowledge and wit were at his fingertips, and he was the life of every party. "He had more friends than anyone has relatives," said his father.
Basketball was his life. He played at Farmington Jr. High, Davis High, BYU-Hawaii, Weber State and professionally for BBC Nyon, in Switzerland. He was an assistant coach at Viewmont High School, student assistant coach at Weber State, ran and co-founded the Barton Basketball Academy, coached in Switzerland, played exhibition ball in China, ran programs in Turkey, instructed coaches in China, assistant coach at Snow College and College of Eastern Utah, and current Utah State University Eastern head coach. He was also an individual and personal coach to hundreds of players and coaches.
He loved the Savior. John 15:13.
Survived by parents, Noel and Pam; siblings Brian and Emily, (Taylor, Tanner), Bret and Sarah (Brian, Travis, Peter, Lucy), Brenda and Jeremy Whicker (Cade, Jace, Colby), Brooke and Jeran Van Alfen (Jayda, Judd, Jett).

Mike Elliott is executive director of the Marijuana Industry Group, a trade association for cannabis businesses based in Denver.
founded joined MIG as the Medical Marijuana Industry Group at a critical moment in the state's cannabis movement.
The stampede of dispensary openings in Colorado that began in 2009 on the heels of the Obama administration announcement that it wouldn't prosecute medical marijuana in states where it was legal spawned more than a thousand dispensaries across the state in less than a year, a majority of those in Denver. None were licensed, and the attorney general and law enforcement were ready to ban them all.
"That's the environment in which my trade association formed," Elliott told me recently. "We took the philosophy of 'If we don't hang together, we're going to hang separately' and pooled our resources." The organization successfully lobbied to pass Colorado HB 10-1284 in June 2010, which created the licensing structure that forced medical marijuana businesses to submit to background checks and financial disclosures.
MIG now represents more than 50 licensed medical and retail marijuana dispensaries, grow facilities, infused products manufacturers, vendors and investors.
"I think with Amendment 64, we're taking our heads out of the sand," he says. "We've been fighting this war on marijuana for 40 years and spent a trillion dollars for the war on drugs. We have the highest incarceration rate in the world, and after all that, marijuana is still universally available. It's still in our schools. It's out of control. We're not getting tax revenue, and everyone knows it hasn't worked. The question has been, 'What is the solution?'" And for right now, he explains, it's dealing with 500 pages of laws.
"In many ways we've gone way, way overboard," Elliott says. "But that's OK, because people demand that we take all these public-safety issues very seriously. We're coming up with good solutions. Business owners are completely transparent.
They've given up their lives, and there's no hiding what they're doing anymore. If they screw up, it's not just going out of business. The reality is that they would be living the rest of their life in orange."
On Feb. 17, the Washington state House voted to ban medical dispensaries and impose new restrictions on medical users. Elliott doesn't think that will happen here or that medical is in danger of going away in Colorado anytime soon.
"Medical is the roots of this industry — those patients and maintaining those relationships," he says. "A lot of people would say that medical is just a stepping stone to legalization, but those people forget the fact that there are sick people who do get a great benefit, and businesses want to keep catering to medical mar ijuana patients."
Elliott says current rules encourage businesses to cater to both markets. Each city can choose whether to allow medical and/or recreational cannabis.
"So you have a community like Colorado Springs, which has allowed medical businesses but banned recreational," he notes. "How do you make sense of Colorado Springs? It's good to have medical businesses catering to patients. I don't see anything big changing anytime soon." One coming challenge to is codify some rules that differ for each market.
"It could be worse. We created two industries, one for medical and one for recreational," he says. "There are a lot of similarities that make sense, but when we're talking about 500 pages of law, there's an awful lot in there."
That said, there isn't much appetite in the legislature for cannabis. "It dominated last year, and we're in an election cycle. The tone is: 'Why don't we let things work and see what the problems are, and when they come up, we'll address them.'" The most frustrating issue, of course, is lack of access to banking.
"The real reason is that forces outside of Colorado are interfering with this program, and in so doing are disrupting banking relationships, the relationship with merchant-services companies like credit cards, security companies and the armored-car companies," Elliott says. "They've gotten threats from the DEA to drop marijuana businesses or else. We've heard, and I tend to believe it's true, that the DEA is not out there saying they are doing this. But you put those industries together, and it starts looking and feeling that there are folks out there that are try ing to create public-safety issues, that are forcing us to be a cash-only industry that can't protect itself."
And, he points out, everybody is calling for banking clarity, including the governor and Denver mayor, who opposed Amendment 64, and the attorney general.
"Everyone wants to fix this problem — pro or against — because this is a public safety issue. This is about saving lives, and it's also about accountability."
Speaking of accountability, MIG supported Proposition AA, which placed higher sales and excise taxes at the state level and gave cities and counties the ability to add more, a position that was opposed by some in the cannabis industry but which was approved by 65 percent of Colorado voters last November.
"We ultimately would like to be treated with fairness like other businesses and industries," Elliott says. "So the taxes, from that perspective, seem too high."
But there's more than that going on. "There are a lot of legitimate concerns that people have about keeping it out of schools, doing education prevention and treatment," he says. "There are public-safety issues, like keeping it from going out of state, and research. All of that needs funding, and it makes sense to have this industry pay for it. We're going to be partners, and we're going to use the money that these businesses have been making to invest back into our communities to address issues and to do the job that prohibition never did. Prohibition was a failure, and we're going to be part of the solution."
Tips, suggestions and criticisms to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Respond: firstname.lastname@example.com
MIG and its predecessor, MMIG, have consistently sabotaged patient's rights and caregivers' prerogatives, pandered to the prohibitionists in the General Assembly, attempted to criminalize driving with non-impairing levels of THC in the blood, has consistently supported the cartelization of cannabis, and generally harmed the cause of ending Prohibition in Colorado (still going strong -- as of last July, you can commit a Class 1 felony withe cannabis). If patients who use cannabis or informed consumers in general were to organize, MIG's members would be out of business. It's worth asking your dispensary if they are affiliated and looking for another if they are. Elliott is an exemplar of what is wrong with the movement to end Prohibition -- he supports it exactly to the extent that it benefits his clients. MIG does not fight against Prohibition or felonies for cannabis; that is all anyone who uses cannabis should need to know about the organization!
Marijuana also affects brain development, and when it is used heavily by young people, its effects on thinking and memory may last a long time or even be permanent. A recent study of marijuana users who began using in adolescence revealed substantially reduced connectivity among brain areas responsible for learning and memory. And a large long-term study in New Zealand showed that people who began smoking marijuana heavily in their teens lost an average of 8 points in IQ between age 13 and age 38. Importantly, the lost cognitive abilities were not fully restored in those who quit smoking marijuana as adults. Those who started smoking marijuana in adulthood did not show significant IQ declines.
Research shows marijuana may cause problems in daily life or make a person's existing problems worse. Heavy marijuana users generally report lower life satisfaction, poorer mental and physical health, more relationship problems, and less academic and career success compared to non-marijuana-using peers. For example, marijuana use is associated with a higher likelihood of dropping out of school. Several studies also associate workers' marijuana smoking with increased absences, tardiness, accidents, workers' compensation claims, and job turnover.
Hey Bob get a clue pot is bad for you , losers like you spreading garbage ,
The crazy-high prices drove a lot of people back onto the black market, thus neutralizing one of the major reasons for legalization, getting the supply out of the hands of criminals. I've told many of my pro-legalization friends this would happen and that de-criminalization was a better way to go, unless of course you are wealthy. The black market will function unabated unless legal pot prices are competitive.

Pregnancy can be a time of joyful anticipation in preparation of a new baby's arrival. However, for women with depression, excitement about pregnancy or many other life events can be hard to achieve.
Depression is a complex and serious mental illness involving more than a passing case of the blues or a short period of grief after suffering a loss and it is common among pregnant women. Between 14 percent and 23 percent of pregnant women will experience depression, and some will be diagnosed for the first time during pregnancy.
Identifying depression in pregnant women can be difficult because its symptoms mimic those associated with pregnancy, such as changes in mood, energy level, and appetite.
Symptoms may also include lack of interest in things that used to be enjoyable; feeling sad or "down in the dumps;" restlessness, not being able to sit still, or feeling very sluggish; feelings of worthlessness or guilt; thoughts of death or suicide or attempts at suicide; problems concentrating, thinking, remembering, or making decisions; or sleeping too much or having problems falling or staying asleep.
Experiencing several symptoms all day, every day for an extended period of time may be a sign of depression. Additionally, some women may suffer from headaches or other aches and pains, digestive problems, sexual problems, hopelessness and negative feelings, worry, or fear. Regardless of pregnancy status, you should talk to your doctor if you experience the symptoms of depression.
Pregnant women with depression often weigh treating their illness against concerns about using antidepressants which have been linked to fetal malformations, cardiac defects, and other negative outcomes during pregnancy. But not treating depression during pregnancy carries a risk as well.
Depressed women are more likely to have poor prenatal care and pregnancy complications, such as nausea, vomiting, and preeclampsia, and to use drugs, alcohol, and nicotine.
