 24 March 2010 - The poet, writer and political activist John Sinclair paid a heavy price for assuming a high profile in the counterculture of the 1960s. Arrested in 1969 for giving two joints to an undercover narc sentenced to 10 years, he served 29 months in prison - attracting widespread attention and a slew of high-profile supporters, most famously the late John Lennon - before the Michigan Supreme Court heard his appeal and ruled the state's marijuana law was unconstitutional.
Now, at an age when most people have retired, he's about to join the vanguard again, preparing to help push the envelope of the state's medical marijuana law as he and a group of fellow travelers prepare to open what will be Detroit's first "compassion center."

 24 March 2010 - The Temple 420 Pastor and former candidate for mayor Craig Rubin is being sent to jail for "violating probation" despite permission from the trial judge and the probation department to operate a medical marijuana clinic. Pastor Craig Rubin, was arrested at temple on October 22, 2009 for a second time in what was a "politically motivated" police action. The District Attorney's office had been pushing to put Pastor Rubin behind bars for years now, claims Rubin. Months later DA Cooley has decided to drop all charges because Rubin is going to jail anyway, unless he can get the public's help. Rubin had permission from the trial judge to sell cannabis at a marijuana dispensary - additionally from the probation department - yet, any time a person on probation is arrested, it is a "probation violation.

 22 March 2010 - American world indoor sprint favorite Ivory Williams - one of the fastest 100-meter sprinters in the world - will not be allowed to compete on the U.S. Team for this year’s World Indoor Championships, because he tested positive for cannabis. Now Williams, who just last month ran the fastest 60 meters in the world, will be ineligible to compete for the next three months and will have to complete an anti-doping educational program. It’s simply maddening to see a 24-year-old world-class athlete get sidelined from his sport just because he used a substance that is safer than alcohol and isn’t exactly what you’d call a performance-enhancing drug. To add insult to injury, his manager felt compelled to issue a token apology, saying Williams exhibited “poor judgment.” |

The 41-year-old was said to have had an eight-month affair with 28-year-old Merith Van Onselen while still with girlfriend, 32-year-old Marie Christine Musswessels, also the mother of his youngest daughter.
The Rule The World singer allegedly wooed Merith while high on marijuana and worried about being found out. "He made it clear that he fancied me. But he smoked a joint to get the Dutch courage to tell me. The first time I met him I told him I was married and he pulled a sad face and shrugged. I thought that was the end of it," said the beauty.
