Cannabis Activist Ed Forchion Challenges New Jersey on Race, Reefer and Religion Before the U.S. Supreme Court

TRENTON, N.J., April 5, 2016 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- In perhaps one of the boldest moves in the recent history of marijuana activism, long time cannabis advocate and Trentonian newspaper columnist, Ed Forchion aka NJWeedman, and his lawyers, New Jersey attorneys Allan Marain, Esq. and John Vincent Saykanic, Esq., are challenging the state of New Jersey before the United States Supreme Court regarding pertinent issues pertaining to reefer, racial discrimination and religion.

Forchion's legal team filed a Petition for Writ of Certiorari to the U.S. Supreme Court (US Supreme Court Docket - 15-8533) on March 8, 2016, presenting ten questions for review and response from the Court.

Per the subject of race and religion, as it relates to cannabis, the filing marks a landmark stance in the marijuana movement. Forchion considers the petition a direct challenge to recently revealed comments by former Nixon domestic policy chief, John Ehrlichman, that the war on drugs was a political assault against blacks and hippies. (http://tinyurl.com/http-www-cnn-com-2016-03-23 )

The document leads with its most powerful query, directly asking the presiding judges, "Are New Jersey's drug laws inherently discriminatory against African Americans and discriminatory as applied by law enforcement?"

In addition, the other questions presented to the Court include:

2. Has New Jersey decided an important federal question in a way that conflicts with other state courts of last resort as petitioner was precluded from arguing to the jury by way of nullification that marijuana should not be a substance proscribed by New Jersey as part of his defense at trial?

3. Is a state court of last resort in hopeless conflict with the United States Court of Appeals concerning First Amendment Free Exercise Clause as it relates to the right to use marijuana as a religious sacrament?

4. Does New Jersey's criminalization of marijuana deprive Rastafarians of their sacramental use of cannabis in violation of the Religious Freedom Restoration Act?

Read the full filing here: http://goo.gl/TKyvVl .

"Twenty-three states and the nation's capital, Washington D.C. have legalized the use of cannabis in some form or fashion," cites Attorney John Vincent Saykanic. "But we still have an uphill battle to go. While marijuana has received more mainstream recognition and acceptance over the years, and has now evolved into a multi-million dollar legal industry in some parts of the country, a disproportionate number of people of color are sadly sitting in jail cells serving quite frankly, ridiculous and unfair sentences. I have worked tirelessly with Forchion over the years because I believe his legal battles serve the greater interest of many. This U.S. Supreme Court filing is perhaps one of our loudest legal statements yet."

"I've always known the marijuana laws are racist and I've always thought of marijuana legalization as a civil rights issue," expresses Forchion. "States throughout the South began implementing drug laws as part of the explicitly racist Jim Crow system, with Southern lawmakers being quite open about the racist motivations behind the laws. Northern states such as New Jersey stripped offensive racist language from their official legal statements, but their anti-drug policies were hardly less racist."

Forchion is encouraged by U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor's recent endorsement of jury nullification (see http://goo.gl/YA5zOS ) and further argues that, "all marijuana defendants should be allowed to present these facts to jurors and encourage nullification verdicts."

Forchion's long standing battle for marijuana law reform has been documented for over two decades. Considered by many as the "grandfather of marijuana reform in New Jersey," Forchion is a bone cancer patient who states he needs marijuana for his symptoms.

Amongst his many trials and tribulations, Forchion pleaded guilty in 2000 to charges of conspiracy to distribute and marijuana possession and was released on parole after serving 18 months on a reduced sentence. He was arrested again in Burlington County, N.J., in 2010 on marijuana possession and distribution charges. He has fought those charges. Forchion argued his medical condition gave him a "medical necessity" defense to possess and appealed the decision to the N.J. Supreme Court and now the U.S. Supreme Court.

Forchion achieved Hollywood notoriety when he opened a marijuana dispensary in Los Angeles in 2008, saying it was a temple that used marijuana as part of its religious ceremonies. The California temple was shut down after a federal drug raid in 2011.

Currently Forchion, a Rastafarian, is the owner of his own restaurant, NJWeedman's Joint and spiritual sanctuary, Liberty Bell Temple III, which he opened last year directly across from New Jersey's Trenton City Hall. The restaurant and sanctuary receive not only a steady stream of customers but also international media attention.

NORTH BRUNSWICK, N.J., Jan. 26, 2016 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Capacity LLC, a trusted leader in order fulfillment, ecommerce, and electronic data interchange (EDI), has launched a brand new website. The site has been redesigned to make it easier to navigate and to help visitors quickly find the information they need to understand modern order fulfillment. The redesign also enhances the user experience on mobile and tablet devices, an important consideration as visitors use an increasingly wide variety of devices to interact with the company.

The new site is a response to significant growth in online traffic for the company and provides users with an environment that is more consistent with Capacity LLC's brand identity. Visitors also benefit from improved functionality with a wider range of available fulfillment services and technology capabilities.

"Capacity's corporate website has always been an important source of information for our clients and potential clients, but since we do not conduct any transactional business on the site it has traditionally occupied a secondary position in our minds," says Jeff Kaiden, Chief Executive Officer of Capacity LLC. "First: focus on operations and on the IT tools that our customers use every day to do business: our portal, our internal EDI processing engines, data warehousing, backups, e-commerce enabling technologies and functionality. Second: put up a website like every other fulfillment provider to have some web presence,"

Kaiden adds, "All that has changed! We ARE our web presence! Our new website indicates to the world our position, our strengths, our clientele, and our niche - SO LET'S SHOUT IT OUT INSTEAD OF WHISPERING. Welcome to CapacityLLC.com - let us know what you think."

Bumpurr Mobile Dating App Files Patent Application for Wearable Offline GPS Indicator Embedded in Streetwear Label

NEW BRUNSWICK, N.J., Oct. 21, 2015 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Bumpurr - a location based mobile dating app launching in 2016 - filed a Provisional Patent Application for its wearable offline GPS indicator technology in the USPTO on October 6, 2015. The Patent Pending technology will make Bumpurr the first to instantly connect members of an online mobile dating app to offline non-members.

According to founder Jet Wintzer, "Bumpurr will offer a streetwear clothing and accessories line embedded with our unique offline GPS transmitter logo. When a member of the Bumpurr community wears a product embedded with the logo - while logged into the app on their GPS enabled mobile phone - the logo transforms the online digital GPS beacon emitting from the user's handset into an offline GPS indicator."

When the Bumpurr user then has a real life encounter with a desirable passing stranger - who is not logged into the app - contact can be initiated by the stranger who receives the offline transmission, joins the app, and then uses its GPS perimeter search to instantly reveal the online profile of the Bumpurr member.

Every other location based mobile dating app on the market today offers only a confined set of potential suitors limited to people who are already members of the app. Bumpurr mobile dating technology enlarges that limited set of potential suitors to the unlimited set of the general public at large. No other mobile dating app instantly connects offline non-members to online member profiles.

Imagine you are riding the subway home from work, when a beautiful stranger looks up and smiles. Before you have a chance to overcome the anxiety of traditional courting obstacles, the train stops, and she's gone. But you noticed her ski cap branded with the Bumpurr logo/transmitter icon. So you visit the app and instantly join through a pre-existing social network. Your profile is created in seconds. You search the immediate perimeter for app members logged on near you, and there she is. You hit the bump button, and a notification is sent to her phone giving her access to your profile. If she bumps you back, your phones give an instant alert for the match, and you may then begin chatting.

Bumpurr also works just like other location based GPS dating apps, in that users can simply search generally for members logged on near them or miles away. After a match, the Bumpurr Eye Contact feature opens along with text chat. Eye Contact offers a sixty second window of silent live video where you can have a true eye-to-eye experience.

Bumpurr dating technology eliminates the utility of fake or misleading profiles by offering its users a genuine - what you see is what you get - experience before revealing intimate details and actually meeting other users in person.

For more information, follow Bumpurr on Twitter @bumpurr1; at https://www.facebook.com/bumpurr or by email - info@bumpurr.com.

ABOUT BUMPURR:

Based in New Brunswick, N.J., Bumpurr is a location-based GPS guided mobile dating app/streetwear line set to launch in 2016. Bumpurr(TM) and its logo are trademarks. Bumpurr GPS offline indicator technology is Patent Pending.

Signs of ‘Connected Consciousness’ Detected on Global Scale

MOUNTAIN LAKES, N.J., Sept. 29, 2014 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Our individual minds, though distinct and uniquely ours, may also join with others in a kind of mental symphony that now and then becomes audible against a prevailing background of static. That's a research conclusion appearing today on the World Future Society's website. Reported by futurist Richard Samson, Director of EraNova Institute, the conclusion is based on 16 years of analysis by the Global Consciousness Project (GCP), based in Princeton, New Jersey.

The research project, led by cognitive psychologist Roger Nelson, began at Princeton University in 1998 and continues as an international consortium with logistical support from the Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS), founded by Apollo 14 astronaut Edgar Mitchell.

After monitoring more than 480 world events, the article reports, GCP researchers have accumulated strong evidence of some kind of transpersonal mentality that seems to emerge when many people share a common concern or experience. At such times, a global network of devices employing quantum tunneling has found weak but definite signs of coherence arising out of background "noise" or randomness.

Although the evidence has been known by specialists for years, it has grown so strong it now warrants public attention, Samson asserts. "And it comes at a time when the materialistic assumptions of traditional science, particularly physics, are being challenged."

The measured effect, though faint and fickle, is statistically significant to an extremely high degree, according to Nelson and his fellow researchers. It shows up during times of crisis or celebration, such as an earthquake or New Year's Eve, when millions of people focus on the same thing at the same time.

Although far from final, the research suggests that our minds may not be bounded by our heads but somehow extend out into the world and commingle, at least at times. "What we can interpret from our experiments is that we really are interconnected," says Nelson. "Human beings are simply not isolated islands of consciousness."

The report, "Signs of 'Connected Consciousness' Detected on Global Scale," is available now on Samson's World Future Society "Futurist" blog: http://www.wfs.org/blogs/richard-samson/ .

Nelson laid the groundwork for the Global Consciousness Project at the Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research (PEAR) laboratory at Princeton University, established by physicist Robert Jahn. GCP co-developers include Greg Nelson, John Walker, Dean Radin, Paul Bethke, Richard Adams, Peter Bancel, and Rick Berger.
