2009 Recap
The issue of drug paraphernalia, its prosecution and vaulted place in legendary "war on drugs" is dying a natural death. Aggressive prosecutions have netted nothing in charging local vendors and retailers. Raided stores in California are back in business and less presure is generally being applied against retailers, especially in states that have approved medicinal use of marijuana.
2010 Projection
Stay tuned for next month's issue as we look into the crustal ball for the next twelve months. As readers may recall, the January 2003 issue of The Newsletter advised that within two months there would be major federal prosecutions.
