been committed by a user while high. Yet, incredible as it seems, the burden of many
"proofs" of marijuana's criminal effects has been precisely the simple fact that it is
possible to locate crimes committed in conjunction with smoking marijuana. "Proof" by
enumeration is no proof at all. By examining an enumeration of crimes which were
committed under the influence of marijuana (even were this definitely known), it is
impossible to determine the "cause" of the event taking place, in this case the crime?or,
indeed, that marijuana has anything whatsoever to do with its commission. Yet "proof' by
enumeration is the most common method of "demonstrating" the causal connection
between marijuana and crime. Countless works written today rely on this method of
demonstration.[13]
In its field manual, the Federal Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs requested
district supervisors to obtain from state and local officials "reports in all cases... wherein
crimes were committed under the influence of marihuana." To illustrate the selective

process involved in this request, imagine the impressive dossier that would result from a
request that reports be conveyed on anyone wearing a hat while committing a crime. A
case could then be made for the criminogenic effect of hat wearing. In fact, we might very
well collect not only more cases, but also even more gruesomely violent ones, since hat
wearing is more common than marijuana smoking in connection with crime (as well as in
conjunction with noncriminal activities).
The enumerative method is the most primitive technique of proof. It putatively links
two items causally that are, in fact, sometimes found together. No effort is made to
determine whether they are actually associated in any way other than would occur by
chance. We all use the enumerative method, at least to illustrate an argument. Examples
often dramatically pin down a stand which we take. It is impossible to bring systematic
data to bear on every point we make. However, it is surprising that in this crucial issue,
long debated, little attention has been given to the rigor of the method of analysis.
One thing that the enumerative method proves is that it is possible to commit a crime
under the influence of marijuana, just as it is possible to commit crimes without
marijuana. Most crimes, in fact, are committed without drugs in a normal mental and
physical state; no one has yet submitted this as proof that being "normal" is criminogenic.
Since we "know" that being normal doesn't induce crimes, we dismiss that argument and
rightly so. But if this method of reasoning is absurd and invalid, then equally so is the
attempt to link marijuana with crime by a case presentation, because both were
documented in precisely the same manner. It is only because we have decided beforehand,

law was redundant and unnecessary, as all states had a law prohibiting marijuana, and
many of them were more rigorous than the federal law.
Moreover, the design of the federal act was peculiar. It did not outlaw the possession of

marijuana. Rather, it penalized the failure to pay the prohibitive excise tax of $100 per
ounce on the transfer of marijuana. However, if anyone attempted to comply with the law
and filed the necessary form with the Internal Revenue Service declaring his intention to
purchase a quantity of the drug along with the details of where, when, from whom, and
how much, he would automatically have incriminated himself under the state law.
Actually, the federal law was designed as a prohibitive measure. It was presumed that
nobody would ever comply, file the forms, and pay the tax. No illicit user of marijuana
could ever acquire the necessary license, even if he were willing to pay the tax. Because
of the double jeopardy feature of the act, the Supreme Court, in Leary vs. United States,
nullified it. It was impossible to comply with the law without facing sanction from the
state laws because federal officials passed on the intention-to-purchase information to
state officials.
The law was not struck down because the Supreme Court justices thought that
marijuana should be legalized. Indeed, it is entirely possible (and even probable) that the
Marihuana Tax Act will be replaced by another federal statute outlawing the use,
possession, and sale of marijuana which is not marred by the self-incrimination feature. It
is only because there are effective state laws that the federal statute was nullified, and the
state laws will likely remain in force for some time to come.
The State Laws
It is, of course, impossible to detail the provisions of each state law within the space of
a few pages. Occasionally crossing the state line can make a dramatic difference. Until
1969, South Dakota imposed a ninety-day sentence for marijuana possession, while North
Dakota had a ninety-nine-year penalty. However, South Dakota stiffened its penalty,
bringing it in line with that of the other, more punitive states.[4] Many of the states have
adopted the model Uniform Narcotic Drug Act, and thus, there is now a large degree of
uniformity of state marijuana laws.
Not only is California the most populous state in the union, it is also a trend-setting
state: much of what is fashionable in California later spreads to other states. There is no
question about the state's dominance in marijuana use. In terms of the sheer numbers, as
well as percentage, California has more marijuana users by far than does any other state.
(In addition, the most reliable arrest statistics come from California's Bureau of Criminal
Statistics.)
We will now examine California's laws pertaining to marijuana. Section 11530 of the

Bought my seeds not from the Doc, but from Heaven?s
Stairway. Six were male (one a slow-growing runt with very sparse flowers); two were female--one was robust
with fairly tight buds, good amount of trichomes, glossy leaves on buds. The other was a runt, with very few
flowers per cm or inch, (individual flowers separated by a few to several mm), few trichomes, and no gloss to
bud leaves. Leaf characters were the same (I described all this in earlier posts on my grow results), but the
runt never developed "buds," i.e. compact floral spikes. Both get me high, but I'd never waste space on
another runty female. [I've been sick since my harvest so can't really judge the high--my current, ill state is
light-headed with this terrible respiratory virus that's going around.] I crossed my best female with the three
biggest males, who tested about the same in potency. I don't plan to grow more Niagara from seeds for more
than a year, and then I still have 9 from my original purchase. 
 Wait until a few weeks into flowering (2-4) and you should be able to tell if any of the short, bushy ones are
going to be worth keeping.</description><pubDate>Sat, 13 Aug 2011 12:00:00 PM GMT</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
