DOA at the Senate?

Welp.... it's official folks. As of midnight tonight, Oct 17th, marijuana is now legal to buy, grow, carry, and consume all across Canada. With the exception of Manitoba and Quebec still not allowing it to be grown (but I'm sure that won't last, someone will take it to court and...

Federal Government (in Canada) announces marijuana will be legal by July 1, 2018 More news on April 20 2017 http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/liberal-legal-marijuana-pot-1.4041902

I'm shocked, I tell ya - shocked! Police & prison guards are investing in fighting the California proposition to decriminalise marijuana. http://blog.sfgate.com/smellthetruth/2016/05/19/prison-guards-donate-to-keep-pot-illegal-in-california/ Vested interest much?

The people support it. The vast majority of scientists and scholars support it. But it doesn't happen. The people start to wonder if there is something wrong with the government if we can't get the people's will done on an issue that will make the government money in the long run. More and more...

Chris Christie on marijuana legalization: Yep, it's tourism and small businesses that are making Colorado the hellhole it is today. I'm sure every resident of that unfortunate state wishes Colorado could be more like New Jersey. ;) The man's pretty far out of touch if he really thinks that...

Colorado starts recreational sales of marijuana today (Green Wednesday). Lines form around the block at retail establishments which are open for business to anyone who wants to buy some weed. I never thought we'd see it happen.

Marijuana questions are the vast majority for Obama's "Interview with the President" NORML ran a story about how the questions submitted for Obama's January 30th "Interview with the President" drew an overwhelming number of questions about Obama's stances/contradictory statmenets on Marijuana...

http://reason.com/blog/2011/06/30/white-house-overrides-2009-mem What they are saying doesn't even make sense: But who are they going after? Not gangs or cartels, but medical marijuana businesses authorized by state or local laws. The US needs a third-party or independent...

Link First conviction: probation. Second: ditto Third: ditto Fourth: life in prison. At age 35. No indication of any violence or any other crime except possession and intent to distribute. This shouldn't even be a crime at all. Why do most people accept the status quo? Does anyone really care...

I was checking out the blog ":Little Green Footballs" today and found this little gem. :) http://littlegreenfootballs.com/article/37781_Pat_Robertson_is_Down_with_Weed http://www.mediaite.com/tv/pat-robertson-criminalizing-marijuana-is-ruining-young-people/ I'm not normally a fan of...

The prop that was gaining traction to legalize Marijuana in California isn't doing so well. Last report 57% voted No to legalize (20% returns so far) to 41% voting YES to do so. http://www.myfoxla.com/dpp/news/politics/marijuana-global-warming-props-tracking-to-defeat-20101102

what would be the result of the nation-wide legalization, regulation, and taxation of marijuana? could marijuana be adjusted and regulated by the FDA so that it is much less potent and intoxicating? how much federal and state tax revenue could be collected yearly? how much regular and gang...

what I want to know, is if this Proposition 19 would make it ILLEGAL for an employer to forbid a worker to drive a bus or other vehicle, or operate machinery, when he comes to work stond. I know it allowes employers to prevent workers from smoking weed while on the job, but what about folks...

Go Arnie! Now just stop opposing decriminalisation

Everybody is trying to figure out how to fix the economy nowadays. I have always been a proponent of cannabis/hemp/medicinal legalization and full production of its various applications. If it didn't fix the economy outright, it would still go a long way toward helping it. What I am wondering...

New study released SACRAMENTO — Medical marijuana is a promising treatment for some specific pain-related medical conditions, researchers from the University of California's Center for Medicinal Cannabis Research reported Wednesday. State-funded studies conducted over the past decade have...

Linky It'll be interesting to see where this leads. The feds clearly don't have the time or resources to be dealing with every little pot farmer out there who would be legal under California law, and other states might just follow suit, especially if they can tax the pot for revenues. I see...

I have a friend who is convinced that California's budget crunch will force it to legalize marijuana. He insists that the potential revenue stream is too attractive to avoid. If he is right, then which state would be the second one? Those dependent on tourist dollars (Nevada, Louisiana)...

There have been quite a few stories about this on different news outlets: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=not9lUpS0EA another local (I think) stations report: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m8XB1yX9wUs&eurl=http://www.rightpundits.com/?p=2955 and Glenn Beck (this guy's a doofus)...

So this is something that has been on my mind lately. I am not a weed smoker. I did twice in high school but other than that nothing. But lately I have been thinking why is marijuana not legal? I know its a drug, but it seems to be much more harmless than alcohol. With our overcrowded prisons...
