Northern Mariana Islands cattle

Their food isn't bad either. It's one thing to pay $5.00 for a bottle of domestic beer as one usually does here on the Island. 

But $5.00 for a large pint of of draft Stella 
or Becks or another 
European draft is a different matter 
and is damn well worth it.

Public health groups and advocates in the Commonwealth of Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI) have worked for the last few years to educate their communities about the health hazards of secondhand smoke exposure and benefits of smokefree workplaces.
End of Year Clearance at Bodybuilding.com!On September 29, 2009, Governor Benigno R. Fitial signed a bill for smokefree workplaces and restaurants into law. Although it makes most public places smokefree, it unfortunately exempts bars, casinos, and departure terminals in airports - and the people who work in those worksites. 
This law is a major step forward to protect the health of CNMI's workers and visitors, and sets the stage for strengthening it in the future. Congratulations to CNMI for remarkable progress on smokefree air. CNMI currently has the strongest smokefree law in the Pacific Basin.no smoke going smoke free

Saipan House votes to legalize marijuana

 Cannabis Karri  November 12, 2010 stash norml saipan house votes to legalize marijuanaThe Island of Saipan, a US territory in the United States Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, has taken an historic step towards marijuana legalization. House Bill 17-45 has passed in the House of Representatives there making it the first marijuana legalization bill to pass in a legislative chamber in any US territory.

from the Independent party, the bill would “allow individuals 21 years or older to possess, cultivate, or transport marijuana for personal use; permit the regulation and taxation of the commercial production and sale to people 21 years old or older,” while barring pot possession on school grounds and use in the presence of minors.
Although the bill has made it this far, a House committee on Monday recommended killing the bill. Representative Torres has told his supporters that even though he is disappointed that the committee decided to recommend killing his bill at this state, he believes that it still has the silent majority support. He plans on re-introducing the bill in the form of an initiative so the people of Saipan can vote for themselves.
Currently, his office also has a draft legislative initiative and is working to try and get it filed in time for the next election cycle. 

As the bill was officially tabled on Monday by the Natural Resources Committee, chair Teresita Santos said her committee took considerable deliberation on the bill and in the end reached a consensus that Torres would reintroduce updated legislation and file it as a House legislative initiative letting the citizens decide on it’s fate.
Torres’s Legalization of Marijuana Act of 2010 is the first legislation of its kind ever to be introduced in the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands.
Legalizing marijuana could open the doors for this little-known island paradise as US citizens would be able to travel to the island without a passport. The island’s largest economic force is tourism, and industry that has declined in recent years forcing some airlines to cease regular service to the islands.But not everyone on this island of just under 65,000 inhabitants would like to see marijuana tourism as a major source of income driving the economy.

 have expressed their opposition to any legalizing efforts. And there or lawmakers coming out in strong opposition to the effort. Rep. Frank Dela Cruz a Republican told the Saipan Tribune after the vote, “At a time when the Commonwealth economy is on its knees, some lawmakers wish to have its people stoned at the same time. Unbelievable,”
Torres doesn’t see the issue to be just about tourism dollars, in August he said, “I have found that the time has come to legalize the use and possession of marijuana for all purposes and to remove any and all associated penalties.” It looks like the voters will get the final say in the matter.
