Excellent PBS video about cannabis
http://watch.montanapbs.org/video/1825223761 This is probably old news to many people, but it’s a very well-produced (and fairly bias-free) documentary about the amazing benefits of cannabis. The facts you can find here are astounding when you consider what we’re being told by … Continue reading

Wish us luck for renewing Alex’s OMMP card!

Prop 19 does not take away prop 215 (medical marijuana)!
I just want to add this to my list of information, because too many people still seem to think that if prop 19 passes, they’ll lose their medical marijuana protection. This will not happen. As I recently added to my … Continue reading
Why prop 19 must not fail
(UPDATE! Russ of NORML does a much better job of explaining how prop 19 rocks) I’ve been reading a lot about prop 19, and how various people think it needs to wait another two years to get some refinements. Generally … Continue reading
