13 States have medical MJ now..

But several more states have legislation currently being passed. Texas, Illinois, Pennsylvania and several of the North Eastern states are pushing to pass medical MJ. Medical MJ is a great step in the right direction, as soon as we get cannabis removed from the schedule 1 drug list, we have pretty much won the fight on cannabis prohibition. Scientists will be able to actually STUDY the plant and the FDA and DEA won't be able to stigmatize such a wonderful plant. Why the FUCK should the government tell you what you can and cannot do to your own body?

This country was founded on individual liberties but we have allowed the federal government to grow and become the big bully that it is. Oh, if we only still had patriots like Thomas Jefferson still alive.

"The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants."
-Thomas Jefferson

Munchie Food!

The lady and myself went grocery shopping this morning. One of the best things to eat while you are BAKED out of your skull is pineapple. So, I bought a big pineapple to munch on throughout the week. Not to mention smores pop tarts, pickles, and pinto beans! I prefer to munch on regular food instead of high sugar candy. Jack's Pizzas were 5 for $11, that is the shit! Going to be munching out good these next couple of weeks.

Prince of Pot To Plead Guilty

This is bull crap!!!!

Marc Emery is about to plead guilty and will be sentenced to 5 to 8 years in prison , for selling cannabis(marijuana) seeds. With our prisons over filling already, they want to send someone to prison for selling SEEDS. This whole prison industrial system has got to end. We now have private prisons.. WTF!

Top Anti-Drug Researcher Changes His Mind, Legalize Marijuana

http://hightimes.com/news/ht_admin/5508

For 30 years, Donald Tashkin has studied the effects of marijuana on lung function. His work has been funded by the vehemently anti-marijuana National Institute on Drug Abuse, which has long sought to demonstrate that marijuana causes lung cancer. After 3 decades of anti-drug research, here's what Tashkin has to say about marijuana laws:

"Early on, when our research appeared as if there would be a negative impact on lung health, I was opposed to legalization because I thought it would lead to increased use and that would lead to increased health effects," Tashkin says. "But at this point, I'd be in favor of legalization. I wouldn't encourage anybody to smoke any substances. But I don't think it should be stigmatized as an illegal substance. Tobacco smoking causes far more harm. And in terms of an intoxicant, alcohol causes far more harm." [McClatchy]

We've been told a thousand times that marijuana destroys your lungs, that it's 5 times worse than cigarettes, and on and on. Yet here is Donald Tashkin, literally the top expert in the world when it comes to marijuana and lung health, telling us it's time to legalize marijuana. His views are shaped not by ideology, but rather by the 30 years he spent studying the issue. He didn't expect the science to come out in favor of marijuana, but that's what happened and he's willing to admit it.

Here's the study that really turned things around:

UCLA's Tashkin studied heavy marijuana smokers to determine whether the use led to increased risk of lung cancer and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, or COPD. He hypothesized that there would be a definitive link between cancer and marijuana smoking, but the results proved otherwise.

"What we found instead was no association and even a suggestion of some protective effect," says Tashkin, whose research was the largest case-control study ever conducted.

Prejudice against marijuana and smoking in general runs so deep for many people that it just seems inconceivable that marijuana could actually reduce the risk of lung cancer. But that's what the data shows and it not only demolishes a major tenet of popular anti-pot propaganda, but also points towards a potentially groundbreaking opportunity to develop cancer cures through marijuana research.

Over and over again, all the bad things we've been told about marijuana are revealed to be not only false, but often the precise opposite of the truth. So the next time someone tells you that marijuana is worse for your lungs than cigarettes, you might want to mention that the world's leading expert on that subject happens to be a supporter of legalization.

HAHA! Another step in the right direction!

DON'T TREAD ON ME - Enough with marijuana prohibition

Prohibition did not work with alcohol. We have been prohibiting marijuana use for over 70 years now. Over 15 million Americans smoke weed everyday. There are no deaths related to the use of marijuana. NONE, ZERO, ZIP, ZILCH! Yet, the main stream media and our so called "elected leaders" seem to think that marijuana is dangerous and life altering. The only reason marijuana is dangerous is because it is ILLEGAL. The only way it will ruin your life is if the police catch you with it. To all the nay sayers out there who think it causes lung cancer, blah blah! If it causes lung cancer, then how come NO one has ever gotten lung cancer due to marijuana? Oh yeah, you people also seem to think marijuana is a gateway drug. HAHA! I guess drinking water leads you to drink milk and drinking milk leads you to drinking alcohol. WHAT A GREAT THEORY! You win! /fail
Every day we keep marijuana illegal is another day that the Mexican drug cartels cause suffering for thousands of Americans living on the border. These violent drug lords wreck communities by kidnapping and murdering innocent Americans. You people who want marijuana illegal are promoting terrorism. Yes, YOU are giving these guys the incentive to come across the border and cause violence. If we were to legalize and regulate marijuana for personal use, we could cut the drug cartels MAIN source of income. This will not only reduce violence on the border but it will also reduce violence related to inner city gangs. They also gain a lot of revenue due to marijuana sells. In a regulated market, we could sell marijuana to adults 21 years and older. This will take the money out of the hands of shady drug dealers. These shady drug dealers will sell to your child who is not even 18 yet. They don't care how old a person is, as long as they are getting their money. In a truly regulated market, a minor has a much harder time getting their hands on it. You wonder by marijuana usage in minors is higher than alcohol and tobacco use. It is because alcohol and tobacco is regulated by authorized dealers. If they are caught selling to a minor they can receive a hefty fine or even lose their selling license all together.

It is time to open your eyes America. Stop believing the propaganda that Henry J. Anslinger cooked up in the 1930s. Stop listening to corrupt bureaucrats who take money from pharmaceutical companies, alcohol companies, and even tobacco companies. These people are suppressing your liberties. The very liberty that this country was founded on. Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. If marijuana is so bad, how come our founding fathers smoked and cultivated it? The very people who FOUNDED this great nation were major advocates of cannabis and hemp.

Enough is enough. Prohibition has failed and it is time to remove the stigmata from marijuana.

God made cannabis. Man made alcohol. Who do you trust?
