What Is General Cannabis Inc?

General Cannabis Inc. is becoming the biggest player in the rapidly expanding marijuana industry. It seems like everyday I’m reading about how General Cannabis Inc. is buying another marijuana based business. The first time I had heard about General Cannabis Inc. was when they purchased WeedMaps.Com. WeedMaps.Com of course is the extremely popular website that tells you where to locate medical marijuana outlets in your area, provided you live in a medical marijuana state that has such entities. Recently, General Cannabis Inc. purchased marijuana.com for 4.2 million dollars…that’s a lot [Continue Reading]

What Is An Eighth Of Marijuana?

This Is One Of The Most Basic Questions In The Marijuana Culture A very interesting thing happened to me today. I was minding my own business riding the city bus (my car is broke down) and I overheard some old ladies talking about medical marijuana. If I had to guess, the ladies were into their 70′s. I read that there are more and more senior citizens consuming medical marijuana everyday, but this was the first time that I saw it in real life. They were so open about it, talking [Continue Reading]

Colorado Asks DEA To Reclassify Marijuana For Medical Use

By Steve Elliott of Toke of the Town The head of Colorado’s Department of Revenue has written a letter to the director of the federal Drug Enforcement Administration asking that the U.S. government slightly loosen its strict controls on marijuana due to its “potential medical value.” Colorado is the fourth state within the past few weeks to ask the DEA to reschedule cannabis from its current, most restrictive classification as Schedule I, which means the government regards pot as having a high potential for abuse and no valid medicinal uses.

Legal Marijuana Growers Should Help Clean Up Illegal Grow Sites

Legal medical marijuana growers should volunteer to help clean up illegal marijuana grow sites. Once upon a time, I read an article in my local newspaper that talked about a landlord that was victimized by greedy marijuana growers. Unfortunately, I can’t find the article, so you will just have to take my word for it. Essentially, the landlord rented the house to what he thought was good people, but after a year, he was left with a house completely destroyed by irresponsible marijuana growers. Mildew had taken over the house, [Continue Reading]

Tips For Using Medical Marijuana While In College

Legalization of medical marijuana has opened the door to a natural means for patients suffering from certain chronic ailments to find relief. Though some states and counties have passed laws providing ways to legally obtain marijuana for medicinal purposes, possession is still problematic. Medical marijuana cardholders are often still questioned by authorities, and their possession and use of the drug remains illegal according to federal law. Among licensed users, the ones who suffer perhaps the most are college students. Short of staying at home and attending an online college, students [Continue Reading]

Cats And Dogs Like Marijuana Too

Dogs like marijuana more than cats. I meant to write about this topic yesterday, but unfortunately life seemed to get in the way of my blogging pursuits again and there just wasn’t enough time. I have to confess, much to the outrage of animal lovers that read this blog, that I have blown marijuana smoke at my pets before. I’m not one of those people that force my pets to inhale my marijuana smoke. But if they come around when I am smoking marijuana, I kind of assume that they [Continue Reading]

Is Growing Marijuana Legal In Alaska?

Growing up in the Pacific Northwest in the days before the internet, there was always a rumor that growing marijuana in Alaska was legal. I always dismissed it as a marijuana myth until I started studying marijuana law when I was older. It always surprises me how few marijuana consumers know about the legendary case of Ravin v. State of Alaska (1975). For those that just want the summary, I think Alaska NORML summarizes it best, “Possession of less than 25 plants is protected under the Alaska Constitution’s right to [Continue Reading]
