"Regulate Marijuana Like Wine" Finds 62% Support In New California Poll

by Phillip Smith A voter survey commissioned by California’s Regulate Marijuana Like Wine (RMLW) initiative campaign suggests the initiative could win at the polls in November–if it manages to make it on the ballot in the first place. RMLW is one of handful of proposed 2012 California marijuana legalization initiatives, all of them ill-funded. For any of them to make the ballot, they have to come up with more than 500,000 valid voter signatures by April, a task that is considered almost impossibly to accomplish by volunteer efforts alone. RMLW [Continue Reading]

Why LED Grow Lights Are Ideal For Indoor Gardens

One of the most important decisions faced by an indoor gardener is what type of grow light to use. Plants need specific types of light in order to photosynthesize. Leafy, green plants need light from a different spectrum than do seedlings and flowering or fruit-bearing plants. Metal Halide, High Pressure Sodium, Fluorescent and Incandescent are a few of the available options for grow lights. Some produce light on the ‘blue’ spectrum, while other produce light on the ‘red/orange’ spectrum. Full-spectrum Fluorescent lights are just that, but since plants do not [Continue Reading]

The Top 10 Obscure And Forgotten Stoner Snacks

By Barry Blunt of kushsmoke.com One of the HIGHlights of a quality smoke session the wave that hits you about 10 minutes after: a severe case of the munchies. But let’s be real. While Harold and Kumar’s adventure to White Castle made for a timeless stoner classic, the premise is inherently flawed. Stoners don’t want to move more than 10 feet to get their grub on. There’s pretty much two options: work with what’s in the kitchen or dial 9 digits for some delivery. Thus, it’s part of the stoner [Continue Reading]

LEAP's Marijuana Legalization Question Ignored By YouTube And White House

YouTube Ignores Cop’s First Place Marijuana Legalization Video Question for Obama Well, the YouTube/White House “Your Interview with the President” livestream just wrapped up, and unfortunately the web giant did not find the time to present President Obama with the marijuana legalization video question from a retired police officer that received, by far, more votes than any other video in the contest. They did find time, however, to pick the president’s brain on pressing national issues like…. late night snacks, singing and dancing, celebrating wedding anniversaries and playing tennis.

Could Anxiety Be Treated With Medical Cannabis?

Anxiety disorders are the most common mental illness in the U.S., affecting 40 million adults in the United States age 18 and older For the government to accept cannabis use as an acceptable recreational drug, it’s clear that something needs to change.

Part of the problem is that those that oppose the drug are the ones with the loudest voice, and they carry with them the appearance of authority simply because [Continue Reading]

What Rolling Papers Do You Use To Roll Marijuana Joints? Choosing a type of rolling paper is much more complicated than it used to be.
