Sgt. Lou Perras and a team of state troopers from the Indiana State Police launched a bizarre annual ritual in May: their patently impossible, insanely expensive, and laughably absurd effort to “eradicate marijuana” in the state. Perras said part of the war on pot includes combating the public's lighthearted attitude about the friendly weed. “People have this attitude — 'It's just marijuana,'” Perras said. “That's a sad misrepresentation of the drug,” the earnest lawman intoned soberly. Perras seems to irrationally believe his team's doomed efforts will somehow counteract the romanticism marijuana enjoys. The growing public acceptance of marijuana use — and its legality for medicinal usage in 14 states and counting — is making Perras's job tougher this growing season, the drug warrior whined. “Marijuana will grow almost everywhere,” Perras whimpered. “All it needs is sunlight and water.” Although Perras is correct on that point, beyond that, he quickly leaves the realm of rationality. Heading up Indiana's Domestic Cannabis Eradication/Suppression program — which, year after year, has received fat funding from the federal government, paid for with assets seized (stolen) from “drug dealers” — has gone from a seasonal to a year-round job. Thankfully, this year Perras's team is doing their asinine job with less money. His budget was cut by $250,000, about a third less than a year ago, due to a shift in federal funding priorities (thank you, Obama Administration). Local “drug task forces” (translation: armed goons with Rambo complexes who steal pot and seize property) are also — horrors! — facing cutbacks. “It makes us be more resourceful and even better stewards of taxpayers' dollars, like not using the helicopter as much, and relying more on tips from citizens and other investigative techniques,” said Sgt. Tony Slocum. Slocum is with the Indiana State Police post in Peru, Indiana, a district in which state troopers working with the program annually pull up about 2,000 pot plants. Less money means snitches, I mean tipsters, are more important than ever to the pot “eradication” program. State police have issued news releases in recent weeks encouraging “the media” to publicize the Indiana State Police Marijuana Tip Line. As a civic-minded editor, I am more than happy to do so, but I wonder if the Indiana State Police realize that when I publicize the number for their Marijuana Tip Line, 888-873-1694, they will likely be deluged with spurious “tips” on marijuana patches that never existed. You think? Oh well. added by: Omnomynous

Leif Garrett Pleads Not Guilty to Drug Charge
Singer Amy Winehouse has swapped her drug addiction with an obsession for shoes after spending $15,000 on a spree. The 26-year-old star got over her battle with drugs and alcohol last year and her dad Mitch, 58, has said she now loves to indulge on shopping sprees. Mitch said: “Amy has blown stupid amounts on shoes – she’s replaced her drug addiction with a shopping addiction. “She bought 20 pairs of Jimmy Choo designer shoes in one afternoon. I returned them all to Selfridges. She’d never wear them, she has two rooms full of unopened, unworn shoes – it’s ridiculous, such a waste.”

Prosecutors file complaint stating physician acted ‘unlawfully and without malice.’ By Eric Ditzian Dr. Conrad Murray (file) Photo: AFP/ Getty Images Michael Jackson ‘s personal physician, Dr. Conrad Murray , was charged on Monday (February 8) with involuntary manslaughter in connection with the pop star’s death on June 25, The Associated Press reports . Murray, who was with the singer during his final hours, is alleged to have acted “unlawfully, and without malice [to] kill Michael Joseph Jackson,” according to the criminal complaint filed by prosecutors. Murray is expected to surrender to authorities later today. If convicted, Murray faces a maximum of four years in prison. “We’ll make bail, we’ll plead not guilty and we’ll fight like hell,” Ed Chernoff, Murray’s lawyer, told reporters before the charge was filed. Following a lengthy investigation into Jackson’s death by Los Angeles police officials and the findings of the county coroner’s office, the involuntary manslaughter charge was long predicted. The charge was expected to be filed last week, but negotiations between Murray’s lawyers and prosecutors broke down over the issue of Murray’s plans to surrender. An announcement that charges would be filed on Monday was made last Friday (February 5). Murray, who was treating Jackson as the singer geared up to launch a series of comeback concerts in London, told investigators that he administered the surgical anesthetic propofol, as well as other tranquilizers, to Jackson several times in the hours leading up to his death. The coroner has ruled that the singer died of lethal levels of the drug. Murray obtained propofol legally, according to the AP, but is accused of negligence in the administration of the drug, a stance prosecutors came to after speaking with more than 10 medical experts. The complaint says that Murray told investigators he gave Jackson propofol at 11 a.m. on the day of his death and then left the room to use the bathroom. The chain of events that followed are disputed. While Murray told officials he returned from the bathroom to find Jackson no longer breathing and that he tried to revive the singer, a call to 911 was not made until 12:21 p.m. During that time, Murray made many non-emergency calls. Murray’s lawyer, however, says that Murray misspoke during his interview with prosecutors and that the doctor did not discover Jackson until about 12 p.m. Murray is expected to be arraigned at 1:30 p.m. PT. According to TMZ, bail will be set at $25,000. Murray is expected to arrive before the arraignment with lawyers and a bail bondsman.
