School Of Pot Opens In Sunset Beach |
|
Mar 13, 2010 - 7:37 PM - by Ganjarden
|
Orange County residents now have a place to go to learn how to cook, smoke and buy medical marijuana.
Cannabis State opened Friday in Sunset Beach and on Sunday will be holding its first class: an introduction to medical marijuana. The school's founders hope local seniors will be among their first students.
Jason Scoby, Steve Roberts, Robert Calkin and Mike Clark, who are all patients of medical marijuana and have a background working in the field, said they are running a trial period to try and get seniors in the area on board with what they call "medicating," or taking cannabis to heal a variety of ailments.
The group has put ads in the Seal Beach Leisure World newspaper to... [Read More]

Medical Marijuana Ads |
|
Mar 13, 2010 - 7:34 PM - by Ganjarden

Montana - There is a battle brewing between television and radio stations and medical marijuana providers nationwide over the selling of advertising space.
It has hit close to home as one Billings grower wants you to boycott KULR-8 Television.
Mark Higgins, Billings medical marijuana caregiver, is protesting the local NBC affiliate KULR because the station's sales department has declined to sell advertising to him. He is also expressing his anger on his website and calling for a boycott.
"It's not fair, it's not right, and I'm trying to help change it," said Higgins as he held a sign outside of the KULR-8 studio.

Hollister Pot Shop Plans to Recall Mayor |
|
Mar 13, 2010 - 7:32 PM - by Ganjarden
|
Calif. - Evictions, lawsuits and now a petition to recall the mayor. The weed war in Hollister takes an ugly turn.
The owner of the marijuana dispensary Purple Cross RX says he started a petition to recall the mayor of Hollister following a lawsuit from the city.
"We are in enough debt as it is," says McPhail. "It's just going to tie up in court for years."
It's a fight that McPhail is planning to drag out in court. He feels Purple Cross RX has every right to stay in Hollister.
"We are within our rights and the laws of California," says McPhail.
But city council disagrees. This week, members unanimously voted to sue the... [Read More]

Let’s Teach WalMart A Lesson About Medical Marijuana |
|
Mar 13, 2010 - 7:31 PM - by Ganjarden

It’s always fascinating to watch corporations flail about cluelessly while society is in the throes of epochal change. One has to go no farther than Starbucks for an example; their recent crash course in societal change involved incurring the wrath of marijuana users, as it turns out a sizeable portion of their target demographic. Starbucks only took a couple of days to come around after pot users threatened a national boycott after spotting the coffee giant’s logo on a virulently extremist anti-marijuana website.
Huge behemoths like Starbucks and WalMart exercise their corporate policies with the implicit assumption that American society as a whole is in their corner, philosophically speaking. Playing the... [Read More]

Despite Setbacks, Effort Continues to Legalize Marijuana in Washington |
|
Mar 13, 2010 - 7:29 PM - by Ganjarden
|
Two bills seeking to legalize and decriminalize marijuana possession by adults were voted down by the House Public Safety Committee in January, but the effort to legalize marijuana in Washington is not dead. Activists recently filed a ballot initiative to pass the issue along to voters in November.
One of the defeated bills called for the legalization of marijuana use by adults 21 and older and would have allowed Washington's state-run liquor stores to sell it. The revenue from sales which would have included a 15 percent sales tax would have funded substance abuse and prevention programs. A separate measure called to decriminalize possession of small amounts of marijuana by adults. Instead of a crime with jail... [Read More]

Monterey Pot Club Loses In Court |
|
Mar 13, 2010 - 7:27 PM - by Ganjarden

A Monterey medical marijuana dispensary has been ordered by the court to close immediately, city officials said Friday.
Superior Court Judge Robert O'Farrell issued a preliminary injunction in favor of the city, requiring MyCaregiver Inc. at 554 Lighthouse Ave. to shut down, said Assistant Monterey City Attorney Christine Davi.
Davi said the order would to be finalized once signed by O'Farrell, which she expected to judge would do Friday.
O'Farrell's ruling came after hearing arguments from Davi and MyCaregiver's attorney, Jim Roberts of San Jose.
The judge found that MyCaregiver opened without city approval in violation of city zoning codes.

Man Claims Wrongful Termination For Using Medical Marijuana |
|
Mar 13, 2010 - 7:24 PM - by Ganjarden

MT - A man who is HIV-positive is suing Loaf-n-Jug, claiming he was wrongfully terminated because he used medical marijuana.
Mike Babbitt is seeking $500,000 in damages from the company, which is a division of the Cincinnati-based Kroger Company. Babbitt says he was discriminated against, lost wages and suffered other monetary damages.
Loaf-n-Jug Arthur Stawski said the company does not comment on pending litigation.
The complaint filed earlier this month says Babbitt was hired by a Loaf-n-Jug in Great Falls in August and informed management that he is a qualified to receive medical marijuana. Babbitt was told he could be employed if he provided a clean pre-employment drug test. ... [Read More]

Medical Marijuana Dispensaries |
|
Mar 13, 2010 - 7:22 PM - by Ganjarden

Vermont Gov. Jim Douglas says he's against a proposal to allow up to five dispensaries to be set up around the state for medical marijuana.
Douglas won't say if he'll veto the legislation if it reaches his desk. But he says Vermont is already at odds with the federal government in allowing some medical patients to use the drug, and he says the state shouldn't push the issue further.
Douglas' comments on Friday followed approval by the Senate Government Operations Committee of a plan to allow the dispensaries to provide marijuana to the 169 Vermonters now registered with the state as in need of marijuana.
Supporters say state law allows use of marijuana by very sick patients, and... [Read More]

Bout With Multiple Sclerosis Leads Sean Becker To Fight For Medical Pot |
|
Mar 13, 2010 - 7:20 PM - by Ganjarden

Sean Becker was a happy single father until his life turned upside down in January 2006.
That's when he was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, a degenerative disease that can eventually disable people. Two weeks earlier, Becker was snowboarding on the top of Kirkwood ski resort, having the time of his life.
But later that month, he lost his balance and vomited frequently, and he spent three weeks in the hospital.
Fast forward to November 2009 — a friend of Becker's, also suffering from multiple sclerosis, had been taking medicinal marijuana, and Becker tried some.
"I immediately felt better after a couple of puffs," said Becker, 40, who lives in the Lincoln... [Read More]

Boulder Volunteers Find $8,000 Of Pot In Clothing Donation Bin |

Boulder police will probably destroy a two-pound bag of marijuana — worth about $8,000 — that volunteers for a local charity found yesterday tucked in a clothing donation bin outside the Barnes and Noble in the 2900 block of Pearl Street.
Officers were called to the book store about 12:15 p.m. Thursday by the volunteers, who said they were going through the bin and found a large bag of “green leafy substance,” which they thought might be marijuana, Boulder police spokeswoman Sarah Huntley said.
Police confirmed it was marijuana, Huntley said, and the Boulder County Drug Task Force gave it a street value of about $8,000.
Huntley said there was... [Read More]

Patients vs. Prosecutors at Medical Marijuana Hearing |

Mar 13, 2010 - 10:46 AM - by User

CO - State lawmakers could be within shouting distance of a plan to regulate medical marijuana dispensaries with pending legislation that leaves hardly anyone happy. After hearing testimony late into the night on March 4, the House Judiciary Committee put off making any decisions about House Bill 1284, sponsored by Rep. Tom Massey, R-Poncha Springs, moving consideration of amendments and a committee vote to March 15.
Noting the bill has been redrafted several times since he first unveiled it a month ago, Massey called his legislation a “significant compromise” and acknowledged few would find it entirely to their liking.

Medical Marijuana Prescription Bill Headed To Gregoire |

Washington - The bill allowing patients to get medical-marijuana authorizations from a wider range of health-care professionals came a step closer to becoming law as it passed in the Legislature Thursday.
Senate Bill 5798 extends the ability to authorize medical pot to a variety of other licensed health professionals in addition to MDs and osteopaths -- including naturopaths, advanced registered nurse practitioners and physician assistants.
After some fine-tuning, the bill passed with an amendment requiring the recommendations be written on tamper-proof paper. Sen. Jeanne Kohl-Welles, D-Seattle, the bill's primary sponsor, said it will go into effect around July 1, roughly 90 days after Gov. Chris... [Read More]

Marijuana Legalization: Mason Tvert Files Language To Put It On November Ballot |

Pot advocate Mason Tvert filed language on Wednesday for a November ballot initiative that would allow Coloradans 21 and older to use marijuana. Does that mean Colorado is about to be embroiled in a full-scale movement to legalize weed?
Not necessarily.
"There isn't some large campaign being launched," says Tvert, reached during a business trip in San Francisco. "It's just something we wanted to make sure was possible if we decided to do it." He explains the he and his colleagues at SAFER, the marijuana reform organization Tvert runs, wanted to file the appropriate paperwork for such a contingency before key election deadlines had passed. But they're far from launching an official... [Read More]

Board Upholds Ban On Marijuana Sales In Business Zone |

Mar 12, 2010 - 7:50 PM - by Ganjarden

Medical marijuana sales still are illegal in business zones in Cascade County.
The Cascade County Zoning Board of Adjustment voted 5-0 Friday morning to uphold the Planning Department’s denial of a location conformance permit for a medical marijuana store on Stuckey Road for Joshua Schultz of Helena.
Schultz, a caregiver who leases a building in a business zone, appealed the denial to the board, hoping the staff’s decision would be overruled allowing him to sell marijuana to his patients.
Schultz's attorney, Carl DeBelly, as well as a few supporters of medical marijuana, argued that medical marijuana businesses, while not named in county ordinance, are similar to businesses that are... [Read More]

R.I. Doctors Tell Why They OK Medical Marijuana Requests |

They are on the front lines of the marijuana debate, the ones who decide who should be allowed to smoke, ingest or inhale what is still an illegal drug in Rhode Island without fear of arrest.
They include neurologists, oncologists, infectious disease specialists, more than one family clinic doctor, the medical director of a drug-abuse addiction center and a psychiatrist running for mayor of Providence who is a conservative on most other issues, but not the politics of marijuana for a patient prone to nausea, anxiety and panic attacks.
Altogether, 355 Rhode Island doctors have signed state forms asking the Department of Health to issue marijuana-use cards to at least one of their patients.

355 R.I. Doctors Have Approved Medical Marijuana Use |

Mar 12, 2010 - 7:44 PM - by Ganjarden

The Rhode Island Department of Health has made public a list of the 355 doctors who have signed applications for their patients to use marijuana for medicinal purposes.
State health officials provided the names of the doctors, and the number of marijuana-card applications they have each signed in response to a public records request from The Journal.
In a statement to The Journal, the Rhode Island Medical Society “strenuously” opposed the publication of the names of any doctors who had signed medical marijuana applications, saying it would “inevitably disrupt the affected medical practices” and “undermine the purpose and effectiveness of Rhode Island’s medical marijuana law.”

Three Hemp-Huffing Presidents, and the New Jim Crow |

Mar 12, 2010 - 7:39 PM - by Ganjarden

Anybody who ever reflected on the evidence for as much as a minute knows that Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, and George W. Bush all smoked pot. Obama admitted it, Bush never really denied it, and Clinton (ha ha!) “didn’t inhale.”
So if smoking pot doesn’t mess you up too much to be President, then what’s the problem with pot?
The problem is shameles and hypocritical politicians sucking up to tight-assed low-IQ no-info hoodoos in Alabama and South Dakota, who fear that their little Barbies and Kens will end up in the gutter if they sample the demon weed, although…
Since 1992, your chance of getting elected President without a whole lotta preliminary tokin’ has been zero.
