21. Petition Full text of the petition to the United States Department of Agriculture and the United States drug enforcement Administration to adopt regulations permitting industrial hemp cultivation. Recommended. http://www.rca-info.org/indhemp.html

Full Text of Industrial Hemp Petition March 23, 1998 Mr. Donald Arbuckle, Acting Administrator Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs Office of Management and Budget Executive Office Building Washington, DC 20503 Hand Delivered Dear Mr. Arbuckle: Today, a coalition of individuals and organizations are jointly filing two administrative petitions, one with the United States Department of Agriculture and one with the United States Drug Enforcement Administration. The purpose of the petitions is to request the initiation of rule making proceedings at USDA and DEA that would lead to the enactment of regulations permitting the domestic production of a crop known as industrial hemp. Attached to this letter are copies of the two petitions, a single Memorandum in support of both petitions, and proposed USDA and DEA rules, which reflect the petitioners effort to carefully balance the needs of potential industrial hemp producers with the requirements of law enforcement agencies. Some law enforcement officials have opposed industrial hemp cultivation, because the crop belongs to the same species as the plant commonly known as Marijuana. The petitioners stand ready to work with the DEA, USDA, the Administration, the Congress, and other interested parties to further refine the rules to address legitimate concerns. Because implementation of our proposal would require coordinated efforts by USDA and DEA, and because of the importance of this issue for many Americans, we urge the Administration to take a strong leadership role in advancing this process.

Other Courses National Programs National Cruelty Investigations School Administrative Programs Missouri Criminal Code: A Handbook For Law Enforcement Officers ... Home The Law Enforcement Training Institute THE DRUG ENFORCEMENT ACADEMY COURSE III As we continue to fight drug traffic, more and more officers are becoming directly involved. The days when "the narcs" could take care of it all are long gone, and as a practical matter all officers should be able to deal with drug traffic at some level. Drug dealing is occurring everywhere, and many departments simply cannot field a SWAT team to handle all drug arrest and raid situations. Well, that doesn't have to cripple your department's ability to carry out these operations. Certainly there are situations that call for the highly advanced training of the SWAT officer, but not all of them do. This training is not a SWAT course, but is an intermediate level course designed for the narcotics officer and patrol officer who should be able to carry out most of these duties. In many cases we have become over reliant on SWAT teams, when any capable officer can be trained to handle most drug arrests and raids. Day 1 will be in the classroom, discussing raid concerns, planning, and teamwork. Some basic survival strategies will also be applied to these operations. We will be going over the method of dynamic entry that we will practice on Day 2.

Drug War Failure Pro-Control Strategies Terrorism and Drug Prohibition Race and Drug Enforcement ... Colombia Race and Drug Enforcement CJPF President Eric E. Sterling's speech, "Drug Laws and Thought Crime," to a Temple University Law School symposium in the Spring of 2001 is published in the September 13, 2002 Sterling's remarks, " Drug Laws and Thought Crime ," argue that the war on drugs serves to maintain white privilege vis a vis African Americans, and other people of color, by disproportionately stigmatizing and punishing them. Drug prohibition was created along with re-segregation policies after Plessy v. Ferguson (1896). It was reanimated by racially tinged competition for jobs in the 1930s in which whites, displaced by the depression and the "dust bowl" sought employment advantages against Mexican agricultural laborers in California. It matured in the 1960s and 1970s in a reaction to the civil rights movement, urban riots, and a dramatic increase in crime in the U.S. The "war on drugs" was fully expressed in the 1980s and 1990s in the legislative and law enforcement response to the crack epidemic, depicted by the media as a urban, black phenomenon of crime and depravity.

It has 700 troops, including 125 combat-ready troops on the U.S.-Mexican border.

An additional 60 combat helicopters are approved for use in Colombia, and the cap on US military personnel assisting in the Colombian conflict is doubled to 500. "The US Congress approved in July 2000 an emergency supplemental assistance request for fiscal years 2000-2001 of $1.32 billion, of which $862.3 million was allocated to Colombia and the balance to neighboring countries (primarily Peru, Bolivia, and Ecuador) and to US agencies' Andean region antidrug operations.
