América de Jesse Ventura
Abril 4o, 2007 perto AlexEste grampo curto de América de Jesse Ventura a mostra dá-nos interessar, se não well-scripted, tomada em que estrangeiro veria se vierem para baixo observar a espécie humana' que bebem e o comportamento fumando. Mais especificamente, o hypocrisy que é aparente de um perspective objetivo, estrangeiro.
Sr. Ventura é um supporter médico documentado do marijuana, assim qualquer um que salta à conclusão que é justo tackling um tópico do elevado-perfil para algum fotorreceptor positivo está confundido. Verifique para fora a bio curto e seu endosso emphatic para o uso do potenciômetro medicinal.
Qualquer um discorda com suas observações? Deixe-nos saber.
Allison Margolin = advogado de Dopest na terra
Março 2o, 2007 perto AlexEste vídeo põe realmente no perspective como um determinado advogado, Allison Margolin, está tentando fazer o sistema legal mais menos prejudicial para pacientes e caregivers médicos do marijuana. Explica os medos associados com ter uma licença do marijuana e/ou que a fazer quando rebentado por autoridades.
É realmente o advogado que o mais dopest eu conheci sempre. É não somente um advogado mas também um paciente. Posto isso em sua tubulação e fume-a!
O ASA Sues o governo dos E.U. para erros do potenciômetro
Fevereiro 23o, 2007 perto Alex
Como algum de você pode ter lido, um movimento legal importante foi arquivado perto Americanos para o acesso seguro de encontro ao governo de Estados Unidos. Mudaram inteligente táticas longe de forçar os E.U. decriminalize o marijuana, mas admitem preferivelmente que o têm classificado inaccurately.
Por décadas, os Estados Unidos têm ignorado estudos científicos fundamental provados (para não mencionar milhares de affidavits do sufferer) que solidify o marijuana do stance é um tratamento médico legitimate.
Joe Elford, conselho principal para americanos para o acesso seguro, di-lo melhor:
O FDA posiciona no cannabis médico é incorreto, dishonest e uma violação flagrant das leis que requerem o governo basear a política na ciência sadia.
Agora, eu acredito que este é o primeiro atingível etapa para o decriminalization 100% e então (mais tarde abaixo a estrada) legalization. Este movimento mostra que é não somente grupos médicos do marijuana que aproximam inteligente seu objetivo final do acesso seguro, mas começaram os guts segui-lo acima com a ação.
Eu posso ir e em aproximadamente neste assunto, mas este foi relatado em muitos, muitos lugares diferentes - eu quis apenas jogar em minha própria tomada. Abaixo está a abundância das ligações que delve nesta edição mais mais:
- Americanos para a liberação de imprensa segura do acesso
- New Study Shows Medical Value of Marijuana
- Government Sued for Marijuana Lies
- Medical Pot Advocates Sue Feds Over False Info
- US Is Sued Over Position on Marijuana
- Medical Marijuana Group Sues US Government
- Government Sued for Marijuana Lies (World News)
And with all of this scientific data backing us up, it’s always interesting to see a completely biased anti-marijuana post written on a supposedly “progressive” weblog - Progressive U.
It’s awesome to see how the article author gets crucified in the blog comments. Guess this puts the lazy, uneducated stoner myth to rest…
Michigan Legalization Movement for 2008
November 29th, 2006 by Alex
The measure, which aims to be placed on the 2008 Michigan ballot, would allow a resident to use weed for medical or recreational uses. The recreational use would have to take place on private property and only be allowed for those 18 and older. Smoking in public places is still liable to a civil infraction of up to a $50 fine.
The measure needs to gather 304,000 signatures within a 6 month period. A slightly different measure attempted to get on the 2006 ballot, but did not have all the signatures required. Let’s hope that with a fresh start, and some nice legal momentum, this new measure will grab enough of a foothold to be put up for vote.

Colorado Mid-Term Results: No Go on 44
November 8th, 2006 by Tim
Looks like weed smokers won’t be converging on Colorado as the mecca of marijuana any time soon. SAFER Colorado was handed a defeat in their campaign to make up to one ounce of weed legal for the personal use of 21+ year olds.
Still, Mason Tvert - the SAFER’s campaign director - has taken it in stride and had this to say:
It’s quite clear that a number of people in Colorado are in agreement that marijuana prohibition is not working. We think this is the first step in a 5- to 10-year process.
He added that it’s going to be a tough battle to change 75 years of marijuana prohibition overnight, but SAFER is up to the challenge.
I agree with Mason in that I believe this is the beginning of a slow, uphill struggle. The bright side is that the ball has started to roll and is gaining size and speed with each day.

Marijuana Reform Breakdown
November 4th, 2006 by Alex
TalkLeft has put together a nice, quick breakdown of the upcoming marijuana reform initiatives that are taking place in Colorado, Nevada and South Dakota. This years’ mid-term elections are not only important because of the obvious Democrat vs. Republican struggle, but also because these measures might be the first steps toward legalization.
Public opinion is starting to swing in many states. Organizations like LEAP and SAFER Colorado are doing their part to improve awareness and promote the benefits of herb rather than the demonization and scare tactics employed by the US government.
Overall, even if these measures don’t succeed (and I sure as hell hope they do), I still believe we are on the path towards a more intellectual approach to smoking. When you compare the benefits and drawbacks against many other legal substances in the US, it’s hard to argue otherwise.

RegulateMarijuana.org
September 14th, 2006 by AlexKeeping with the West Coast theme we’ve got going for today, let’s swing over to Nevada and the political side of things. RegulateMarijuana.org created a flash movie that helps explain exactly what their legalization initiative will do for the state. It’s well thought out and, if passed, will add a huge boost to the marijuana legalization movement in general.
Enjoy.
2006 Stoner Voters Guide
August 31st, 2006 by Alex
Marc has done just about everything he can to facilitate action. He’s written about the House of Representatives, how & when to vote, using MySpace to further the cause, useful tips on how to initiate conversation, information on RockTheVote.com and then he starts going state-by-state on who he supports and who you should contact. Wow. Guess Marc blows the old lazy stoner myth right out of the water.
Since tFS is based in California, we are going to transcribe Marc’s section on who he supports for Governor:
