MMJ Theft Growing Problem in Oregon
November 11th, 2008 by Perry
Marking the 10th anniversary of MMJ in Oregon, growing problems with residents being held at gunpoint and people having their medical marijuana stolen is raising law enforcement awareness of the situation in Oregon. Unfortunately, the local Oregon station makes it sound as though legalization is responsible for the increase in crime.
But there’s another criminal side to the medical marijuana story, what happens when someone who legally grows the drug decides to sell it or share it with a friend.
But solving the problem is easy. It’s all about creating a centralized location where people can get access to medication if safety seems to be a big issue (which it is.) The state has a responsibility to step up and provide safe access for its citizens so they can get the medicine they need.
Medical Marijuana’s 12th Anniversary
November 10th, 2008 by Perry
In all of our overzealous post-Obamamania recovery, we lost sight of a very important anniversary. On Tuesday, November 5,1996 the first medical marijuana law was passed in California.
The Marijuana Policy Project said in the years since 56% of California voters decided to stop criminalizing the ill, and public support for legal access to medical marijuana has grown to nearly 80%. Not to mention 12 other states are now on board, most recently Michigan and Massachusetts, which leaves the movement halfway to the 26 needed to draft a national resolution.
theFreshScent’s 1 Year Anniversary

Without making any lame references to deja vu, zombies, returning from the dead or any other cliche a writer can throw out there – we’d like to let everyone know the pilot light is on and tFS still has a heartbeat.
It’s feint, it’s slowly building up steam and until the head gasket blows, we’re going to keep a lid on the haps behind the scenes.
We’d also like to point out that today is effectively the 1 year anniversary of tFS. No, we haven’t taken the most common path down the road to a 1 year, but screw it, we want to celebrate anyway.
So, while we go buy some Stone IPA, everyone sit tight and we’ll do our next update when there’s some positives to drop.
