I have read that Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Maine, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, Vermont and Washington all approve medical cannabis. I have also read that the 1937 Marijuana Tax Act banned marijuana on a federal level. Are doctors who prescribe medical cannabis in these states committing a felony?

well the spirit off anti-immigration is on the raise and certain groups blame on immigrants that they're on a bad situation and with no jobs but I seen that those who complaint they receive goverment help and the only thing some do is get dope up with that money shouldn't the 're be more supervision on them like urine analisys like city employee to determine if they're really not abusing substances and not let them shield behind the needed and suffered family that they really try to portrait;Becouse some really just act like and blame on others but don't do much to improve while others with out help show that America is a place for those who really put themselves into wasn't this Country made by Immigrants ???

My step-daughters mother signed a consent to adopt and i had agreed to adopt her. It hasn't gone to court yet, but our lawyer has the paperwork. Can she change her mind once we go to court and if so, is there anything we can do about it and have it followed through. We live in the state of Kansas.

of all he owes. He promises a great lucrative future for me if I stick with him but I sweat every time I go to the bank to cash my paycheck. He cant pay the rent at our office any more but he promises that i will have a job working out of his house for him and his partner. I try not to be sad or negative and close my eyes to the truth. i am on a sinking ship and I cant get off cuz there are no jobs here. What do I do? There is no money for school and if I do not get a job I will be in major trouble for the bills I owe. i am on probation cuz i used to drink so I have to work. that is why i stay on this ship. It will sink soon, I fear. What do I do?

So, he's pleading guilty to felony conspiracy charges. He's denying he killed any dogs himself, although those involved say differently, and we won't know the exact terms until monday. The judge is notorious for handing down long sentences (he could get as many as five years in the can). My question is WILL HE ACTUALLY DO ANY TIME?

I work for the ambulance service and its crazy the amount of people who call us out for trivial things such as getting a papercut. Do you think these people should be fined for timewasting and taking the resources away from people who could be in danger. Personally I think yes!

I'm 16 and live in hawaii. I got pulled over 2 weeks ago for drifting around a corner (I almost missed my turn and made the bad judgement of taking it anyway, this caused the rear wheels to drift slightly). A police observed me and wrote me up for "excibition of speed", and said he observed me taking the corner fast causing the vehicle to drift (I was in a F-250).

I didn't have proof of insurence for the officer at the time, but realized I did later. He gave me a family court summons and said they'd contact me with a court date. I havn't heard anything.

When I go to court i'm going to bring proof that I had insurence at that date and I'm going to tell them i'm sorry and made a bad judgement call from lack of experiance. Basically I'm just wondering what are my chances of getting my liscence suspended and what options do I really have?? Hard to plan trips this winter without knowing if I'm gonna be able to even drive! Thanks for any info!

My stepfather's family has a small cemetery on the corner of a person's property which has been there for years. His parents, two brothers, and a couple other family members are buried there. The property in which the cemetery is on was sold a few years ago and the current owner is being a tailhole about letting family access the cemetery. He says that they must give him ten days notice before they can come on the property. Reason I am asking is that a couple of the family members want to go on the property to clean up the cemetery, such as mow the grass and straighten up . Anytime anyone attempts to go to the cemetery, he threatens to have them arrested for tresspassing. I am in North Carolina and I am asking if there is a attorney or paralegal that has knowledge on this matter and is willing to answer this question. I have called a few attorneys, but of course they want me to come in to discuss it, hence, as always, they are just looking out for their pocket.

I was wondering if anyone knew anything about the NC Labor Board allowes when it comes to being tardy. If I'm not mistaking I thought you had a least ten minutes to be late for a shift, anything after that their rules goes into effect. The reason why I asked because a company made someone go home because she was 2minutes late so she lost her shift for that day.

I an in need of someone in the USA helping a Civil Engineer in Nigeria who is on a contract to get out of Nigeria and back home to the USA. He was robbed and beaten on Tuesday. They took his money and his passport and all efforts to get him out by me and himself have proven ineffective. I called the emergency phone number to the US Embassy in Lagos Nigeria and they called him on Wed but no returned call or help. The man has been in treatment at the hospital for 2 days now and the Hotel Manager will not help him get the airport or leave the hotel without paying his bill......no money to pay .....
No passport papers to get home. I am in Canada and I do not have any more solutions to the problem. If someone in the USA sees this write-up can they help by extending a few dollars to the hotel and get him out to the airport where the USA officials can get him on a plane home to North Carolina where he lives.
PLEASE IF YOU CAN HELP I WILL PROVIDE THE PHONE NUMBER TO HIS HOTEL +2348062904065.

I have joint custody of my children but they live the school year in a different state. My ex & her lawyer continue to fail to inform me about issues involving my kids as well as their filing of an order to Affect Parent-Child Relations. I found out just in enough time to file a response that showed there was no justification for that and documented the fact that I was not given proper notice. They didn't even show to their hearing for it. Also, the therapist is refusing to speak to me or provide me with any reports of my kids therapy although I stipulated in the Custody Agreement that I was to be given the same information the Mother is. Now my ex has moved to a new address in their town and I can not get the lawyer, my ex or the therapist to even return my call much less give the new address. I want to remain pro per and need to know what form to file against their negligence and refusal to provide information. What can I do to enforce that I am kept informed as stated in the orders?

I'm not saying what Vick did is OK, but if you go to this article you'll find that our VP shot numerous birds (and a hunting partner while he was at it) that were born and raised for the sole purpose of being shot. Wild birds are afraid of people and are a lot harder to shoot than the stocked ones. http://www.thepittsburghchannel.com/news/2693558/detail.html
Now, is this less cruel than dogfighting?
