After the Mid-Term Elections, 3 crucial Marijuana ballot measures have been defeated. Alot of these measures were virgin and hopefully out of them comes embattled activists and enlightened politicians.

The fact that Marijuana can be put on as a ballot measure and then foster 40%+ of the vote proves this drug is not proportionately regulated, and that many people realize this. There is a still vast number of fence sitters who can be won over. 

The numbers go as such on 3 different measures

After forty five years of existence not everyone decides to change their name.

But after one swap of letters from CCF, the NDP is now looking at another change.

The party's convention contains the resolution to possible change the name to Socialist Democratic Party, because New Democratic Party, isn't so 'new' anymore.

Premier Lorne Calvert maintains he is proud of the NDP record but it is important to debate what may be important to some party members.

Calvert denies this is anything like, what he calls, the Progressive Conservative name change to Saskatchewan Party, arguing he has nothing to run away from.

July 28th: For Immediate Release

Regina, SK - Following it's first successful fund raising event in Saskatoon, the Saskatchewan Marijuana Party is holding a similar event in Regina.  With half of their proceeds going to AIDS Regina, a local charity, the SKMP will be holding a BBQ in front of Head to Head Novelties on 2923 Dewdney avenue.  They will arrive at noon and be flipping burgers into the late evening.

On July 17th at approximately 1:15 in the morning, Tom and Bobbie Shapiro found themselves threatened by two young men brandishing baseball bats and yelling demands.  "They just kept saying 'we want the pot.  We want the pot'" Said Tom Shapiro.

The two men made off with a good deal of Tom's medical marijuana, all his pain killers and a small amount of cash.  "My allowance" said Shapiro jokingly.
