During the fiscal year that ended in October, border agents seized about 8-thousand pounds of hydroponic marijuana at 17 crossings from Buffalo to Champlain.
In fiscal year 2004, they seized 12-thousand pounds.

However: "Most marijuana trafficking activity is southbound, although it is smuggled in both directions across the border. While Canadian-produced marijuana accounts for only approximately 2% of overall U.S. marijuana seizures at its borders, the two governments are very concerned about an upward trend in seizures, which have increased 259% since 2001."

And in related news, seziures of Crystal Meth from the south are way up:
Mexican DTOs and criminal groups as well as independent traffickers smuggle methamphetamine from Mexico into the United States through remote areas of federal lands between POEs along the Southwest Border. Methamphetamine smugglers use a variety of methods to smuggle methamphetamine from Mexico into the United States through federal lands, including couriers traveling on foot, on horse, and in personal vehicles. The DOI reports that methamphetamine smugglers who transport the drug in private vehicles occasionally cross the U.S.-Mexico border into federal lands on illegally established roads.
Canada is not considered a significant source of methamphetamine. Seizures of methamphetamine on federal lands along the Northern Border do not occur with any frequency, nor do they involve significant seizure amounts.

US Cannabis Use Rates Nearly Twice European Average<br />
<br />
December 8, 2005 - Lisbon, Portugal<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Lisbon, Portugal: Americans age 15 to 34 use cannabis in far greater numbers than do their European counterparts, according to statistical data recently released by the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction (EMCDDA).<br />
<br />
Lifetime prevalence of cannabis use in the United States is greater than in any European Union (EU) nation, including the Netherlands, the report finds, and is nearly twice as high as the EU average. Approximately 51 percent of Americans age 15 to 34 report ever having used cannabis compared to approximately 30 percent of Europeans, the study concluded.<br />
<br />
Among those reporting having used cannabis in the past year, approximately 22 percent of Americans said that they had versus only 13 percent of Europeans.<br />
<br />
"These statistics belie the myth that US-styled prohibitionist policies discourage cannabis use," said NORML Executive Director Allen St. Pierre.<br />
<br />
St. Pierre noted that unlike the United States, most EU nations treat cannabis possession as a non-criminal, administrative offense. In recent years, several countries in the EU, including Belgium, Luxembourg, Portugal, and the United Kingdom have downgraded minor marijuana possession to a non-arrestable offense.<br />
<br />
"The European experience provides a strong empirical case that removal of criminal prohibitions on cannabis possession does not significantly increase the prevalence of marijuana use, and likewise, that US-imposed criminal sanctions do little to dissuade pot use among young adults," St. Pierre said. "US leaders would be well-advised to follow Europe's example and repeal its war on cannabis consumers in favor of policies of tolerance and regulation."<br />
<br />

of highly addictive and lethal tobacco per day,
and with all the right-wingers drinking
50-100 servings of highly addictive
and lethal liquid-poison alcohol
per week, it's actually quite
beneficial to the democratic left.
The right-wingers (CONS and REPUBS)
are so hypocritical and brutally
destructive to others, and to
themselves as well.They also
create lies to demonize
a relatively harmless
substance, and fill
their prisons up
with non-violent
moral 'offenders'.
I hope that all CONS and REPUBS
go to their local store
and stock up on hypocritically
legal, deadly and extremely addictive
tobacco and alcohol..It diminishes
their population.Hopefully, they
can also partake of some of the wonderful
synthetic toxins pumped out
by the shoddingly researched ton
in pill form.Yep, gotta make
those righteous and profit-driven
Phizer Pharma-slut CEO's even
more wealthy.

Attentens the funeralof a loved one and your mood will be lowered.<br />
It would beprudent to grasp the reality that that which we call "mood" can be and is manipulated daily by the events around us.<br />
<br />
Try driving an automobile while distracted by rage or saddness or even uproarious laughter are alll 'mood manipulators'<br />
