Hawaii HB 2600 Changes Requirements For Doctors Who Recommend Marijuana

Hawaii HB2600 Would Change Registration Requirements For Physicians Who Recommend Medical Cannabis There is so much marijuana related legislation going on right now in the US that it’s hard to keep up. Hawaii is no exception. One of many bills working it’s way around the Hawaii capital building is House Bill 2600. The nexus of the bill is: “(e) A separate registration shall be required at each principal place of business or professional practice where the applicant manufactures, distributes, prescribes, or dispenses controlled substances[,] or recommends the medical use of [Continue Reading]

Studies Proving Marijuana Has Medical Properties For Rep. Bob Robson

Rep. Bob Robson Wants Studies That Codify Marijuana As Having Medical Properties? Here You Go Arizona Representative Bob Robson is trying to play the classic political game of sticking his head in the sand and trying to deny the reality that is around him in the hopes that Arizona citizens will forget about medical marijuana. Almost a week ago I read the following excerpt from azcentral.com: “”We’re already tacitly committing this body to recognizing something that doesn’t really exist,” Robson, R-Chandler, said, as he urged the term be struck from [Continue Reading]

Marijuana Activist Dale Gieringer's Letter To Nancy Pelosi

California NORML’s Dr. Dale Gieringer Wrote A Letter To Nancy Pelosi Below is a letter that I was e-mailed by the legendary California marijuana activist Dr. Dale Gieringer. It might be one of the best medical marijuana arguments of all time. I can’t find any holes in his logic. However, I won’t hold my breath that the DOJ will back off of medical marijuana any time soon. Why is it that the feds try to just brush us all under the rug? Hopefully letters like this one below will help [Continue Reading]

Take The Oregon Medical Marijuana Patient Survey

The American Alliance For Medical Cannabis Wants To Survey OMMP Patients If there’s one thing that I know about the medical marijuana fight, it’s that data is very valuable. Data is on the side of medical marijuana, and if we can get enough of it, the facts will tell the truth, it’s that simple. The medical marijuana movement doesn’t need propaganda like the other side, or to cling to myths and weak facts like the opposition. The medical marijuana movement just needs to increase awareness and present the facts, and [Continue Reading]

Something that I think should happen every year is a recommendation that was first started by the great Jay Selthofner in Wisconsin. Here is Jeff’s recommendation from last year, which I think should become a tradition: “Now with Valentine’s Day approaching, this year I ask all you to join me and [Continue Reading]

Arizona HB 2349 - Campus Medical Marijuana Prohibition Bill Full Text

Arizona HB 2349 Would Prohibit Medical Marijuana From College Campuses I remember dealing with the medical marijuana ban on campus when I was in college. Despite the fact that I went to a state college, and I’m a medical marijuana patient licensed by the State, I had to leave campus if I needed to medicate. Sounds like medical marijuana patients who are attending college in Arizona are going to have to deal with the same BS if this bill goes through. I copied the bill below so that our readers [Continue Reading]

DOJ Threat Pushes Delaware To Suspend Medical Marijuana Dispensary Program

by Karen O’Keefe The Obama administration’s stunning betrayal of medical marijuana patients claimed a new victim today. Delaware Gov. Jack Markell announced that he would halt the implementation of the state’s medical marijuana dispensary program following a vague and threatening letter from U.S. Attorney Charles Oberly III. Oberly’s letter, dated February 9 but made public today, says that patients and individual caregivers would not be federal enforcement priorities, but that entities distributing marijuana “could” be targeted. It also says that state employees would not be immune from liability under the [Continue Reading]

Medical Marijuana In Washington DC Could Help Other States Fight Off The Feds

By Steve Elliott of Toke of the Town If one prominent attorney is right about the legal ramifications of the District of Columbia’s marijuana law — specifically, that it was approved by the U.S. Congress — then it could be a game-changer nationwide. D.C.’s medical marijuana law was the first time that the United States Congress had ever given its explicit assent to any state or local law that permits the medicinal use of marijuana — and, according to a California attorney who specializes in health care compliance, that is [Continue Reading]
