Obama Video Showing His Medical Marijuana Hypocrisy

We all know the story – Barack Obama says one thing as a senator and on the campaign trail about medical marijuana, then he goes the opposite direction once in office and targets distributors and growers of medical marijuana. I feel this video that was produced by the Marijuana Policy Project is amazing because it puts all of his quotes into one video. Will 2012 be more of the same from President Obama in regards to medical marijuana enforcement? Or will he finally get sensible and realize there are much [Continue Reading]

Veterans Shouldn't Have Conflicting Medical Marijuana Rules

Vets confounded by dueling medical marijuana rules If there is anyone that has earned the right to consume medical marijuana, it’s our nation’s military veterans. Yet, due to the federal government’s outright contempt for medical marijuana, military veterans are left to deal with two layers of bureaucratic madness to sift through in order to use medical marijuana legally. Below is an article that was sent to me by the San Francisco chapter of Americans for Safe Access: Veterans Affairs allows it in some states while Justice Department cracks down. For [Continue Reading]

California Medical Marijuana Dispensaries Opting For Delivery To Avoid Federal Pressure

By Steve Elliott of Toke of the Town A growing trend in California’s billion-dollar medical marijuana industry — which has recently come under attack from the federal government — is the presence of delivery-only dispensaries to deal with an legal environment that is increasingly precarious for storefronts. Threats of property forfeiture against landlords, lawsuits and raids have made brick-and-mortor locations less attractive to the collectives, reports David Downs at the San Francisco Chronicle. “When you have a storefront, you’re on the map,” said Oakland defense attorney William G. Panzer, who [Continue Reading]

'Waiting To Inhale' Medical Marijuana Documentary

WAITING TO INHALE Waiting to Inhale examines the heated debate surrounding marijuana and its use as medicine in the United States. This is the e-mail that I got from the studio: “Medical marijuana is a pretty huge issue right now, and I wanted to let you know we have a documentary about it, “Waiting To Inhale,” for free viewing on our site. The film examines the debate from both of its sides, examining claims that pot can alleviate symptoms of AIDS and cancer.” Technically we put this up back in [Continue Reading]

What Is The Ohio Patient Network?

The Ohio Patient Network Is Leading the Charge To Bring Medical Marijuana To Ohio One of my favorite things to do is Google marijuana terms and look at the recent news. When I Google the term ‘Ohio marijuana’ an article comes up asking ‘whatever happened to Peter Lewis’ wish to bring medical marijuana to Ohio?’ Peter Lewis of course put out a request for activists to submit their proposals for how to bring medical marijuana to Ohio earlier this year. It appears that Peter Lewis has yet to get a [Continue Reading]

Sacramento County Returns 2 Lbs Of Marijuana Seized During Dispensary Raid

By Steve Elliott of Toke of the Town Deputies returned two pounds of seized cannabis to a California dispensary on Friday after a court ruled that the marijuana had been improperly confiscated. The Sacramento County Sheriff’s Department confiscated two pounds of marijuana from Common Roots Collective during a shakedown, I mean “inspection, on December 1. But the dispensary’s lawyer argued that the deputies violated federal law, since authorities, including code enforcement officers, had entered the property on an inspection order and not a search warrant, reports CBS 13.

'Second Amendment Versus Medical Marijuana' Debate

You shouldn’t have to waive your Second Amendment right to be a medical marijuana patient. I first wrote about medical marijuana and the Second Amendment on January 11, 2010. I wrote ‘Over the weekend, a friend asked me if his concealed weapons permit would make him ineligible for a medical marijuana card. The answer is…it depends on what county of Oregon you live in. Apparently, a unique phenomenon is occurring in certain areas of Oregon; County Sheriffs are denying concealed weapons permits if the applicant is a medical marijuana cardholder [Continue Reading]
