ALLISON WILL BE "Stinkin' it to the Man" IN SKUNK MAGAZINE

I just wrapped up an interview with Skunk magazine. The interview wound up covering quite a few topics which gave me the chance to get a lot off my chest. I thank the guys over at Skunk for the opportunity to do so, and I look forward to seeing my issue when it comes out in early April

APPEARANCES

As long as I can remember I have loved clothes. As a kid I used to get into dressing in the latest Guess and Esprit outfits that were popular in the 80s. Ironically ( I went to school in Beverly Hills), my classmates would make fun of me, "accusing" me of being rich. I was hurt and sad but I didn't let their harsh words get in the way of the pleasure I got in expressing my creativity and sense of self through my fashion.

LA WEEKLY COVERS A CANNABIS CLUB IN "SMOKED OUT"

If you pick up the LA Weekly this week look for my new color ad (designed by my new friends at Westside Chronicle) and read Seven McDonald's "Smoked Out"

The Open Door

At West Hollywood’s Medical Marijuana Farmacy dispensary on Santa Monica Boulevard, around the corner from Whole Foods and Fountain Day elementary school, Jack Johnson is on the stereo, apple juice and water are set out for the taking, and a sign above the door reads not just “Open,” but “Very Open.” Only slightly disrupting the welcoming atmosphere, a security guard monitors the scene just in case.

Last month, federal agents raided the Farmacy, along with 10 other L.A. County dispensaries (four others in West Hollywood alone), and many feared the shutdown was for good. But the Farmacy is back in business with nearly 20 full-time employees, one a patient himself who suffers from rheumatoid arthritis, and numerous consultants, including a psychologist, two advising physicians, a legal-aid professional, a massage therapist, an herbalist (who helps answer questions about the other herbs sold here), and a registered pharmacist, JoAnna La Force, who sits on the board of directors and acts as the Farmacy’s spokesperson. continued

LEAP REFUSING TO COP OUT

A group of police officers have seen enough and want an end to the drug war NOW!

Here's why:

"The stated goals of current U.S.drug policy -- reducing crime, drug addiction, and juvenile drug use -- have not been achieved, even after nearly four decades of a policy of "war on drugs". This policy, fueled by over a trillion of our tax dollars has had little or no effect on the levels of drug addiction among our fellow citizens, but has instead resulted in a tremendous increase in crime and in the numbers of Americans in our prisons and jails. With 4.6% of the world's population, America today has 22.5% of the worlds prisoners. But, after all that time, after all the destroyed lives and after all the wasted resources, prohibited drugs today are cheaper, stronger, and easier to get than they were thirty-five years ago at the beginning of the so-called "war on drugs".

Barack Obama gives hope

A Post to Barack Obama's Myspace

Feb 11 2007 8:21P

Mr Obama

We are under martial law and our government is imploding.

You are a breath of fresh air, but more than that you provide hope for restoring integrity, and moving us ahead.

By the way we have a couple things in common (Harvard, Columbia) and perhaps at some point we can sit to discuss this insane drug war being waged by the government against our good citizens.

Best,

Al

A LICENSE TO CHILL

If you plan on going for your recommendation anytime soon read Michael Goldstien's first hand account titled "A license to Chill" in West Magazine. And even if you already have your card it's a great story that details the hypocrisies and absurdities of the government's stand against doctors, patients, and marijuana in general

Anyway whenever the Times calls I'm humbled and happy to contribute Particularily when It's something so near and dear to me. And speaking of near and dear, our dear friend Miss Stephanie Landa contributed to this article with a quote as well.

Peace,

"A CHANGE IN THE WEATHER"

Progressive Dennis Kucinich takes over a new House subcommittee, signaling changes in national drug policy



~ By DEAN KUIPERS ~


~ The drug hawk’s worst nightmare: Kucinich’s hearings will raise a ruckus ~

The Democratic sweep in the 2006 mid-term elections has done more than finally install a woman as speaker of the House. It has also put one of the most vocal critics of the ill-starred “War on Drugs” in a position to affect federal drug policy. On January 18, Ohio Congressman and presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich, one of the most progressive Democratic voices in the House, was appointed as chair of the new House Government Reform and Oversight subcommittee on domestic policy, causing drug reform organizations coast-to-coast to rejoice in hopes that a moment for significant change may have finally come.
