Yoda Strain Review

One of the few downsides (actually, probably the only downside) to reviewing cannabis strains is that, very quickly, you become jaded on the subject. With so many collectives and dispensaries trying to wow you with their fine medicine, you start to take it all for granted, and suddenly a bud of top-shelf marijuana that not long ago would have seemed the best you ever had doesn’t seem so special anymore. But every now and then, a variety comes along that’s so good, so choice, that you discover all over again [Continue Reading]

The study also asked about drug use and looked at education and other socioeconomic factors. Then when [Continue Reading]

Gary Johnson Makes Marijuana Legalization A Key Issue In His Presidential Campaign

By Brian Gage The race for the Republican presidential nomination is turning out to be interesting, but not for the reasons you might think. You could even call it historic: two candidates who support legalizing marijuana want to be the Republican choice for president and one of them has used it in recent years for medicinal purposes. Texas Congressman Ron Paul, who is currently seeing a surge in popularity, supports legalization of all drugs. The other, Gary Johnson, former governor of New Mexico and former medical marijuana user, says he’s [Continue Reading]

Case in point: Mike Schaef of Tacoma, Washington, who operates North End Club 420, a medical marijuana patient collective garden. When going through security at SeaTac airport just south of Seattle Friday morning at about 10:15, Mike put about two grams of cannabis in the scanner bowl [Continue Reading]

California Court Rules Cities Can Unjustly Ban Medical Marijuana Dispensaries

by Phillip Smith In a decision that is already having an impact on medical marijuana access, a California appeals court ruled Wednesday that cities and counties can lawfully ban medical marijuana dispensaries.
