Sex Offender in Charge of Kids @ MMJ Festival
October 1st, 2008 by Perry
This can’t be good for stoner reputation.
Apparently, someone got a little too familiar with their bong and forgot to do some simple background checks. This casual slip-up consequently left a sex offender in charge of kids at the Santa Cruz medical marijuana festival.
It’s not as though the woman doesn’t already look super creepy though, c’mon guys. I mean, come on.
Idaho Not Likely to Embrace MMJ
September 30th, 2008 by Perry
But hey, at least the effort’s there.
Most political pundits don’t expect the measure to pass, but Idahoans are putting medical marijuana on the ballot. A similar measure to relax the state’s stance failed by a vote of 21-9 in June so the odds are unlikely. But, at least it’s getting on the ballot.
The fact that lawmakers are making it a priority is a good thing. Hopefully, we can address it further nationally when our economy is pulled out of the toilet and our foreign policy isn’t such a mess.
The Church’s Hypocrisy Continues
September 30th, 2008 by Perry
A priest in South Charleston, along with a fellow member who was a drug counselor at the parish, were arrested for felony marijuana possession.
Oh, the irony.
I obviously don’t have any problem with these guys lighting up some MMJ, but then going out and probably preaching about the evils of drugs while you do it, is just plain wrong.
Update: The Battle for Michigan Continues
September 29th, 2008 by Perry
To update earlier reports, in Michigan, the debate is still raging over the use of medical marijuana as the November vote draws near. As the headline suggests, attitudes seem starkly divided over whether the proposal is a ploy for marijuana users to push for eventual decriminalization and those that feel like the benefits outweigh the risks, which are nonexistent.
Oregonians Get Up, Stand Up
September 29th, 2008 by Perry
A medical marijuana activist group is working on an initiative to create marijuana dispensaries in Oregon similar to those in California.
Oregon has been on board for MMJ a couple years now, but this new law would basically say that you can grow pot (for personal consumption only.) Right now, cardholders must find someone else to grow it for them. Personally, I’m all for self-sufficiency.
Update: Michigan + Medical Marijuana
September 26th, 2008 by Perry
Following up on the Michigan story earlier in the week, it looks like medical marijuana is not only on the ballot in Michigan, but is expected to pass swimmingly with 59 percent of the vote.
Score one for the good guys. Take that in the face Judge Laurie like BLAOW!
Fresno, CA Becomes Medical Marijuana Friendly
September 25th, 2008 by Perry
Strike up the band, I knew there was something about this place that I liked.
As a current resident of Fresno, I was relieved (and ecstatic, not gonna lie) to hear that the city of Fresno, CA has adopted a marijuana card policy by unanimous decision.
Supervisor Tony Oliveira said,
To me this is a no-brainer, and I’m a strong supporter of this because this is not opening the gates to marijuana. This is focusing on people (that have the reasons) to register.
Here, fucking here. No hesitation, that’s how we like our officials to act in the Central Valley. Well at least I was with him until he started rambling cliches and getting into slippery-slope arguments. Guys, I would stay and blog some more, but I have a doctor’s appointment I need to get to.
MMJ: Information You Should Know
September 17th, 2008 by Perry
I know a lot of people are skeptical about getting Medical Marijuana cards. I understand. Maybe it’s the stigma attached to it, maybe you think it’s too expensive or simply a scam. But it’s easy, and there’s a post that makes it even simpler by explaining how. Maybe…
How To Get Your Medical Marijuana Card in California
If you are still buying marijuana illegally, you’re just putting yourself at unnecessary risk. And here’s something the web site doesn’t mention: the marijuana found in legitimate dispensaries is reasonably priced and well-manicured because it was grown by professionals in an optimal environment, NOT smuggled in or part of some stash that was harvested six months ago in some field outdoors and then left in Bubba’s truck shrink-wrapped in a brick.
I’ll say it again in hopes that it finally sinks in… if medicinal marijuana is legal where you live, then in the words of Smokey, “Take advantage man, take advantage.”
