The Michigan Cannabis Year In Review 2012

Marijuana Policy In Michigan Saw A Lot Happen In 2012 By Rick Thompson In compiling this listing I elected to not include repeating events- the Vote Green Initiative projects, benefits held for various subjects, club meetings and events, highway cleanups, meetings and gatherings related to the Repeal Today effort except as noted. It is not that these events escaped my notice, but there was so much to write about already it seemed impossible to add all of the repeaters in as well. Enjoy!

Top 10 Celebrity Marijuana Consumers Of 2012

by Monterey Bud Michael Phelps: Was ‘Smoke on water‘ in 2012 – and America’s proud pot ambassador to the world during the Olympics… the US swimmer can now brag that he is officially the most decorated athlete Stoner to ever compete in any Olympic Games. 19 Gold medals in total… Not bad for a someone who was caught smoking weed back in 2009. Snoop Dogg: I feel relatively confident there is no need to try and explain this one. Yet, despite that, I will. Not long ago Snoop fired up the online world of ‘Reddit’, when [Continue Reading]

Defeating Dwight Holton Was My Favorite Part Of 2012

Colorado and Washington State legalized marijuana in 2012, which are at the top of everyone’s ‘top moments of 2012′, and rightfully so. 2012 will go down as the year marijuana prohibition started dying. However there was an event that pre-dated Colorado and Washington’s victories that I don’t see on anyone’s lists. I am referring to the Attorney General race in Oregon. Fortunately, we will never know exactly what would have happened if Dwight Holton became Oregon’s Attorney General, because he got crushed at the ballot box. However, it will never [Continue Reading]

Help Americans For Safe Access Prepare For Victory In 2013

By Steph Sherer, Executive Director, Americans for Safe Access This is the time of year when I take some time to reflect over the past twelve months and prepare myself for the opportunities that lay ahead in the New Year. Can you help us get ready by making a special year-end contribution to Americans for Safe Access (ASA) today? 2012 was bittersweet. On one hand, we moved the fight for safe access to medical cannabis forward – adding two new medical cannabis states, Connecticut and Massachusetts; legislatures in a dozen states considered [Continue Reading]

Dana White On Marijuana Versus Performance Enhancing Drugs

Is Marijuana A Performance Enhancing Drug? Does consuming marijuana make you a better athlete? Biologically speaking, no. Maybe it provides a sense of focus that you don’t get without consuming marijuana, but whether that focus is ‘better’ or not is highly subjective. From a biological standpoint, marijuana slows down reaction times at the very least, and therefore is an athletic hindrance more than an enhancer. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t think marijuana is bad (obviously!) for athletes, and certainly shouldn’t be a banned substance. I’m merely trying to highlight the ridiculousness [Continue Reading]

Sun Grown Cannabis Was Big In 2012

By Rick Pfrommer, Director of Education, Harborside Health Center Pineapple Thai, Burmese Cotton Candy, Cherry Cola: 2012 truly was an epic year for sun-grown cannabis. The rains didn’t come until late October, allowing growers to let their plants reach peak maturity. Some farmers in Grass Valley had plants in the ground until Thanksgiving. I love those long, equatorial sativas. Thank goodness some growers do, too. California sunshine combined with above-average temperature all summer and fall allowed flowers to fully ripen. I’ve seen some of the most amazing, sticky, frost-covered colas [Continue Reading]
