Five marijuana farms are zoned for agricultural use in Pitkin County, according to county community development director Lance Clarke. Growers statewide were required to report themselves to local jurisdictions by July 1, when state regulations went into effect, along with a moratorium on new pot operations. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Daily Democrat, 07 Sep 2010 - A cop pulls over a motorist who's driving like he's drunk, but the officer suspects the driver may be high on marijuana. Unlike with alcohol, there's no objective way for police to detect whether somebody is impaired while driving under the influence of marijuana. There's no breath test for THC, pot's active ingredient, and no 0.08 limit to drive like California law sets for alcohol in the blood. Now, as Californians consider making the state the first in the country to legalize the recreational use of marijuana, police officials are concerned that Proposition 19 could put an extremely difficult burden on police: How will they determine whether a driver is too drugged to drive? ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Morning Sun, 07 Sep 2010 - The village of Lake Isabella has become the first mid-Michigan community to adopt an ordinance regulating medical marijuana distribution. Village Manager Tim Wolff said the Village Council adopted a law that classifies an individual medical marijuana caregiver as a "home occupation," not subject to further village review. At the same time, it outlaws medical marijuana dispensaries, where groups of caregivers provide medical marijuana to groups of patients. ]]></description>

The rental units Jill Escher oversees on Beach Hill were perfect. While the one-car garage below a motel-turned-apartment complex didn't have electricity or water, Castaline was allowed to install one power outlet so he could put up a light and do his handyman work in the storage area. For $145 a month, it was hard to beat. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[AlterNet, 06 Sep 2010 - Prohibition has failed -- again. Drug prohibition has proven remarkably ineffective, costly and counter-productive. 500,000 people are behind bars today for violating a drug law - and hundreds of thousands more are incarcerated for other prohibition-related violations. There is a smarter approach usually called harm reduction. Reducing the number of people who use drugs is not nearly as important as reducing the death, disease, crime, and suffering associated with both drug misuse and failed policies of prohibition. Ethan Nadelmann is the founder and executive director of the DRUG POLICY ALLIANCE, the leading organizations in the United States promoting alternatives to the war on drugs, grounded in science, compassion, health and human rights. He received his BA, JD, and PhD from Harvard, and a Master's degree in international relations from the London School of Economics. He authored COPS ACROSS BORDERS and co-authored POLICING THE GLOBE: Criminalization and Crime Control in International Relations. ]]></description>
