Organic Law on Narcotic and P The Law contains, in article 44, a proviso by which there may be applied appropriate penal sanctions, in addition to removal from office, and the Organic Law on Narcotic and Psychotropic Substances is the one dealing with the penal aspect by establishing sanctions for officials who fail to comply with the provisions of this Chapter. The LOSEP thus complements the Organic Label Law when it specifically indicates the penalty and requires the worker to comply with his or her obligations, as set out in the contract of employment, when the worker is under the influence of such medicines, issued on medical prescription. Article 125 refers to articles 228 and 229 of this Law, in cases in which a fine is converted into detention and the article has a single paragraph to regulate the requirements relating to fines, as an accessory to the main penalty, that may be imposed by the ordinary adjudication. www.oas.org /juridico/mla/en/ven/en_ven_narcolaw.html   (6620 words)

The Organic Law of America The Court was speaking of the nation's fundamental laws and charters: its "organic law."

Reason That's because organic standards, now codified by the U.S. Department of Agriculture in 554 pages of the National Organic Program, declare that organic crops are not supposed to contain "transgenes"—genes that have been spliced into crop plants by biotech seed breeders to confer advantages such as pest and disease resistance. Organic crops receive certification because of the way they are produced: no chemical fertilizers, no synthetic pesticides, and so forth. Organic farmers already experience accidental pesticide drift and the admixture of conventional seeds. www.reason.com /rb/rb100202.shtml   (1371 words)

Agribusiness goes organic / New law and growing appetite for wholesome foods bring mega-growers to the table But for California organic farmers who've fought big agriculture for years, the move from the fringes of the co-op produce bin to the shelves of Safeway is something of a shock. Others, who believe organic is as much about culture as it is about chemicals, wonder whether the government will cater to the big boys from corporate agriculture instead of protecting local, sustainable, earth-friendly food as the original organic movement envisioned.

The Cornucopia Institute   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25) The USDA's National Organic Program immediately responded to sharp criticism from the organic community alleging that agency complacency was allowing large factory farms to produce organic milk while skirting the legal requirement that the cows have access to pasture as a fundamental part of their feed source. Mega "organic" dairy farms, including one 4000+ head operation in Idaho, are allowed to pay lip-service to the organic law requiring pasture for dairy cows.
