LEAP's Pro-Legalization Police Car Educating The Community In Chicago

I vividly remember seeing the D.A.R.E. car cruising around my low income neighborhood growing up. The officers inside would stop every once in awhile, turn on their lights to draw attention, then handed all the kids that came to look a bunch of drug war propaganda. It’s fantastic to see that Law Enforcement Against Prohibition is fighting fire with fire with their own educational vehicle. See the pic below. Wouldn’t it be sweet to see one of these in every major metro area in America?

No One Should Ever Be Sexually Assaulted Because Of Marijuana Prohibition

A new White House petition has been started and brought to my attention by a very hardworking activist named TriXter Phillips. TriXter sent me a guest post during the election that I wasn’t able to post due to time conflicts, and for that I am truly, truly sorry. Hardworking activists need to be supported as much as possible, and sadly, I dropped the ball. I encourage ALL TWB readers to sign this petition and spread it far and wide! Below is the language to the petition. Click here to sign [Continue Reading]

First Marijuana Club In Colorado Forced To Close

The nation’s first known legal recreational marijuana club has already closed. The White Horse Inn in the town of Del Norte closed Tuesday, a day after its opening, because of a landlord dispute.

New Cannabis Growing School Opens In Colorado

Both Washington and Colorado voted to legalize marijuana in November, but it will be at least a year before we see any legal marijuana shops. As of now, the recreation use part of the laws are in effect in both states, but limited home growing is only legal in Colorado. It is illegal to sell and grow more than 6 plants, so does that mean more people will be growing in their home? Why wouldn’t they? Even Obama said “It would not make sense for us to see a top [Continue Reading]
