There’s a good amount of marijuana legislation in motion: The City of Colorado Springs has officially registered 451 medical marijuana businesses including 176 dispensaries. Tomorrow afternoon, marijuana patients and caregivers will protest the medical marijuana ban in Great Falls, Montana. San Diego County approved marijuana clinic regulations. Rhode Island passed legislation to protect doctor-patient confidentiality in regards to medical marijuana.
Let’s face it, stoners (especially me) don’t like to work, but we do it because we have to pay the bills, right? While I was at my crappy office job today, I spent a little while reminiscing of previous jobs I’ve had that were much more stoner-friendly. My current job has a ‘zero tolerance’ policy directed at marijuana, even medical marijuana. It’s not the job I dreamed of having after [...]
Sorry I’m a bit late getting these up tonight, but here are today’s links: The Santa Cruz Grand Jury estimates $7.5 million in revenue if marijuana was made legal. A Colorado city orders its only medical marijuana center to close. Montel Williams helps lobby for medical marijuana in Albany . Helena, Montana is considering banning traveling medical marijuana clinics.
This was just forwarded to me from Jennifer Alexander at Oregon NORML. A volunteer group in Oregon is working to gather the signatures necessary to get the Oregon Cannabis Tax Act on the ballot for the November 2010 election. 82,769 valid signatures are required to be submitted to the Secretary of State by July 2, in order to qualify for the November election. If it makes it to the ballot, [...]
A Battle Creek man, who uses marijuana for medicinal purposes, is suing Wal-Mart for firing him after he injured himself at work, received treatment and tested positive for marijuana during a drug test. The lawsuit was filed in Calhoun County Circuit Court today by the American Civil Liberties Union, in partnership with a law firm, on behalf of Joseph Casias, 30, who has an inoperable brain tumor and is in [...]
Recently in California there have two killings in L.A based dispensaries. In one case two people walked in performing a routine robbery but still killed one individual and maimed the other. In the other robbery, the owner walked in to find his employee stabbed to death. As much as I hate conspiracy theories this all smells kind of funky to me. Even if there’s no evil plot in progress the [...]
Here are some stories from today: The medical marijuana program in New Jersey has been delayed 90 days. The California chapter of the NAACP supports marijuana legalization. A man in Colorado fights to prove marijuana as a holy sacrament. Medical marijuana in Montana could still face a number of future amendments.
I used to not care what strains I smoked, so long as they were the super chronic. ‘Call it what you want, I just want to get baked,’ is what I would always say to people. However, as dispensaries become more widespread, and people continue to get seeds from seed banks rather than get their strains from friends, consuming marijuana with a name is becoming more and more common place. [...]
At the Universal City Hilton Hotel in Universal City, California, the San Diego-based non-profit CADFY (Californians for Drug Free Youth) hosted community leaders who shared their “professional” and “expert” perspectives on the dangers of marijuana in California. After reading the following quotes, you can decide for yourself the validity of their arguments about marijuana… Key quotes from the event: John Redman, Executive Director, Californians for Drug Free Youth: CADFY’s mission [...]
A couple of months before the Oregon primary, a funny thing happened. Ninjasmoker received a Facebook request from Oregon Republican candidate Chris Dudley. It was very interesting to me that a self proclaimed conservative would try to network with a 100% self proclaimed stoner, even on Facebook. I chalked it up to the fact that Chris Dudley’s campaign probably sent out requests to anyone and everyone that was based out [...]

Here is Marc’s post: I am very pleased to report that I am in good shape, sleeping well, and very busy getting some good work done. Today, Tuesday June 1st, I received six letters from individuals, and about 25 or so from [...]
If you aren’t using a vaporizer these days, you are really missing out on one of the best ways to toke it up. It wasn’t that long ago that I finally joined the vaporizer community. I was always one of those people that bashed on Volcano prices, and was quick to point out the inefficiencies of ‘wooden box’ vaporizers. It just always seemed to me that I would get high [...]
Here are the marijuana stories I picked out for today: 17 groups hope to be the first to open nonprofit medical marijuana dispensaries in Maine. The Vermont Supreme court reversed two marijuana convictions due to illegal searches by police. Good to see some of these illegal searches don‘t go unnoticed by the courts… Dispensaries in Colorado Falls have until Wednesday to register with the city or close. Republicans in Idaho [...]
Come next year, Rutgers University could be one of the leaders in medical marijuana research and development. A New Jersey lawmaker who was instrumental in helping pass a medical marijuana law back in January is now suggesting that the state’s premier university become a national center for research and curriculum into the plant and its benefits. Assemblyman Reed Gusciora (D-Mercer) is already cooperating with Republican Governor Chris Christie’s administration to [...]
