The federal authorities like the FBI and the DEA have repeatedly stated in unequivocal terms that there are no federal laws sanctioning the possession and use of medical marijuana. What they should have said was, it is legal for a publicly funded state university in Mississippi to grow it in amounts that would truly make the most hardcore drug dealer pale. http://salem-news.com/articles/may072009/tenn_mpp_050709.php http://salem-news.com/articles/may072009/tenn_mpp_050709.php Thu, 07 May 2009 07:27:00 PDT Nearly 100 largely unregulated “wet dumps” across the United States that are comparable to the Tennessee Valley Authority’s breached site in Harriman, Tennessee for the storage of toxic pollution from coal-fired power plants have a place on one or more of the “worst site” lists for six toxic metals. In fact, many of the toxic coal ash “wet dump” sites around the U.S. appear to pose a greater potential danger than the Tennessee site that is now in the headlines. In the case of deadly arsenic, which has been detected in water polluted by the TVA site disaster in Tennessee, the Stanton Energy Facility in Orlando, FL., has reported dumping roughly 10 times more of the carcinogen in its site between 2000-2006 than the TVA did over the same period in its now ruptured Harriman, TN storage pond site. http://salem-news.com/articles/january072009/tenn_cleanup_1-7-09.php http://salem-news.com/articles/january072009/tenn_cleanup_1-7-09.php Wed, 07 Jan 2009 12:10:00 PST Could another major coal disaster happen at one of the many Tennessee-like power plant coal pollution dumping sites across the United States? How much toxic arsenic, lead and other heavy metals that endanger drinking water are being dumped into those unlined “surface impoundment” sites each year? How did federal regulation of coal pollution break down to allow these threats to exist … and what needs to happen if the public and environment are to be protected against future Tennessee-like disasters, as well as the “slow-motion” leaching of toxic metals into drinking water, rivers and streams? http://salem-news.com/articles/january052009/coal_data_1-5-09.php http://salem-news.com/articles/january052009/coal_data_1-5-09.php Mon, 05 Jan 2009 14:49:00 PST Tennessee experienced at least two waves of severe weather that ranged from high-winds and hail to deadly tornadoes.
