No Medical Marijuana Limits In California?

The California Supreme Court ruled Thursday that ANY limit on medical marijuana amounts is unconstitutional (see story). Senate Bill 420 was enacted in 2003, which set a limit of 8 ounces, 6 mature plants or 12 immature plants. In the bill was a provision to allow counties and cities to set higher limits if they desired. But that was all changed Thursday, when the Supreme Court essentially stated that patients can possess and grow whatever it takes to alleviate their conditions. The most interesting part of this story, to me, [Continue Reading]

Landmark Washington State Case

Ninja smoker brought this case to my attention via his stoner friendly links, and I thought that I needed to do some clarification. There was a landmark case in Washington State yesterday that was decided at the State Supreme Court level (see attached article and ninja smoker’s link). Essentially, the court said a doctor’s permission to use medical marijuana doesn’t preclude police from arresting a patient or searching a home. In normal language, this means that a medical marijuana card is not enough to stop the cops from searching your [Continue Reading]

Washington Shoots Down Pro-Marijuana Bills

Washington State’s efforts to decriminalize marijuana were shot down by the Public Safety Committee, as well as the bill to legalize marijuana (see attached story). Proponents of the bills were hoping to generate close to $300 million a year, according to Rep. Sherry Appleton, (D)-Poulsbo. The legalization bill failed by a vote of 6-2, and the decriminalization bill failed on a 5-3 vote. However, just because the current efforts were fruitless, doesn’t mean that the fight is over. Activists filed an initiative to try to get on the November ballot, [Continue Reading]

Breaking the Thermal Imaging Myth

A common question that growers have is ‘Can law enforcement use thermal imaging to find my grow room?’ The answer is….Not without a warrant. When I was growing up in the 80’s and 90’s, there was a rumor that the National Guard or DEA would fly over neighborhoods with thermal imaging equipment for easy pickings. Apparently that was true, because it happened to at least one guy on the West Coast (see attached case). Danny Lee Kyllo lived in a triplex unit on the Oregon Coast, and after agents used [Continue Reading]

The Deathblow to LA Dispensaries??

It is official, the city of Los Angeles has passed an ordinance that would reduce the number of dispensaries from over 1,000 down to 70 (see attached article). In addition to a 1,000ft buffer zone, other restrictions include; ‘forbidden from operating for profit, requires them to pay employees “reasonable wages and benefits” and rules out bonuses. It requires them to maintain extensive records and to submit an annual accountant-verified audit. It prohibits operators from running more than one dispensary. And it allows people buying marijuana to join only one collective.’ [Continue Reading]

The Ultimate Marijuana Bust

Operation Frozen Timber Changed The Marijuana Scene Forever Operation Frozen Timber was the most significant marijuana bust in American history. Although it is not the largest (a bammer operation in Arizona takes that title), it certainly had the largest affect on American marijuana supplies. Operation Frozen Timber was a 2 year investigation involving helicopter pilots flying TONS of BC marijuana from the Canada side to the Washington State side (see the attached story). You can read the story for all the dirty details, because what I am interested in is [Continue Reading]

How to Get a Medical Marijuana Card

The glorious medical marijuana card…For those that don’t have one, getting one seems like a really big step. For those of us that have a medical card, we simply couldn’t imagine life without it. I get asked at least once a day how I got my medical card, and so I figured I would post the answer on TheWeedBlog.Com for the masses. Keep in mind; this process is for the State of Oregon. I will explain at the end how it applies to the other 13 medical states in the [Continue Reading]

As stated before, the goal of this blog is to become the number one blog on the ‘net for all weed related issues. This includes different ways to consume marijuana. So we will be running a weekly series on different ways to smoke down and we are starting it off with how to roll a blunt.
