Weed Wars takes on the controversial stories ABC won’t
I’m tired of waiting. ABC interviewed us in April. They were going to run a story about Alex’s situation, and it was going to be aired nationally, not just locally. I wasn’t going to say anything here until we had … Continue reading
No, I haven’t disappeared
My 4×10 schedule was a bust, Alex has been very up-and-down, and generally there’s been just a ton of chaos, especially with the new baby. There’s also just not a lot to say at this point. I still have no … Continue reading

Over 50,000 signatures!
The petition for legalizing marijuana has over 50,000 signatures. When you consider that a user is risking a lot just to sign (telling the government they support the most taboo of drugs, and leaving behind a digital trail), I’d say … Continue reading
No videos, but a decent visit
We saw Alex this weekend for over three hours, and it was a pretty good visit overall. He had quite a few moments of rage, but none that lasted longer than a few minutes, and none that got as intense … Continue reading
Once again we try to get the government to see the light…
“We the people” launched today, and the #1 issue by a wide margin was, of course, marijuana legalization and regulation.
September updates – some amazing visits
I was hoping to make a real effort to get updates with video, but I’m finding this is a lot more pain than I expected. The amount of video we have is enormous just from the past month, so I’ve … Continue reading
