Dear Editors, I'm one of the ecologists that's been ranting about global warming and other symptoms of imminent environmental collapse, for several decades. After reading "Is It Warm in Here? We Could Be Ignoring the Biggest Story in Our History" by David Ignatius this morning, it occurred to me that you might care to consider what I believe is the biggest, roundly ignored, condition of our

Dear Richard and friends, Thank you for inviting me to participate in the discussion of The State of Medical Marijuana 2006. I have been working internationally for years to end prohibition of Cannabis. I use Cannabis therapeutically in many ways, besides as an herbal remedy to ameliorate a severe spinal chord injury. As I am presently traveling through Europe, I will not be able to join the

World running out of water to meet food security, warn scientists<>Posted: 17 Aug 2004 Global water use must be reduced to meet the demand for food production, otherwise it will be impossible to meet the UN development goal of halving the 840 million undernourished people by 2015, warn experts. http://www.peopleandplanet.net/doc.php?id=2309 Difficult choices will have to made in the next few

What does the collapse of wild bird populations have to do with international drug policy? Consider the relevance of a canary to a coal miner. Normal cultivation and natural distribution of the world's best source of organic vegetable protein, and the only common seed with three essential fatty acids (EFAs), has been suppressed for several human generations of Cannabis prohibition.

Regarding the interview in Salon entitled "Blowing our minds" Martin Torgoff, author of "Can't Find My Way Home: America in the Great Stoned Age, 1945-2000," talks about America's complicated and schizophrenic history with drugs.

I just realized that there's a Blogger ad banner at the top of the page, with a link to "Reasons not to smoke pot" and other such info. While I will agree that smoking Cannabis is not for everyone, in the interest of balance, fairness and reason, I would like people to know that first of all, the link does not seem to work, and secondly I certainly don't have anything to do with it. For some

There has been debate and confusion for some time, around the various words used to describe the Cannabis plant. Historically, the word "hemp" has been used, for centuries, to refer to both the high- and low-THC varieties of the plant, which share the taxonomic name "Cannabis". Since 1937, the word 'marijuana' was used to instill prejudice and deflect cultural memory from what was once a

Forward, To The Here And Now In the past decade, undoubtedly, the greatest progress made in mankind's social evolution has been our ability to communicate globally, instantaneously, electronically, and affordably. Making the most of relatively recent technological fluidity is key to coordinating values on which to base sustainable economics, in harmony with the primarily significant,

How fast can an evolutionarily determinate idea, essential to world peace, travel nowdays? If you agree that prohibition of Cannabis should end in 2004, that freedom to farm is a "self-evident" Natural right, and that we have an obligation to our own, past, and future generations, to stand up for Natural values, then please send an e-mail in support of this idea to your local newspaper,

Dear Union of Concerned Scientists, Project P.E.A.C.E. is writing from France to ask the help of UCS in addressing unconscionable human rights violations being perpetrated by the American government's Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) in Colombia. DEA's "Plan Colombia" is vicious chemical warfare of incalculable global, moral and environmental consequence, emanating from Washington, D.C

These are letters written to ENCOD and DPFIC in a global thought for peace, Sadly True, what you write. America's economy has grown like a cancer to infect the planet at the most fundamental level. Predominant values in the U.S. that to a growing extent, govern social evolution globally, are clearly manipulated by a corrupt and immoral dynamic. This was the result of mankind's poor

There is no global or local. With humankind's ability to communicate electronically, instantaneously (and translate) we are as close to a homogenous global culture/organism as we humans have ever been. Because of the nature of social change it is likely that the greatest effect for the benefit of the majority will always come from the grassroots, beginning at the "local" level. The inertia
