The Frank Capra Christmas classic "It's a Wonderful Life" was a reminder to: 1) never underestimate the good you have done and the good you can do in the world, 2) be grateful for the love you have, and 3) be grateful for whatever you do have, it could be much worse! Jeremiah Vandermeer 6 weeks 2 days ago I had a lot of Christmas fun, ate a lot of Christmas food, and smoked a lot of Christmas trees at the CCHQ holiday staff party last weekend, and on the LIVE broadcast of A Cannabis Culture Christmas on Pot TV yesterday.
Breaking News
Feb 2 2012 "All other things being equal to SF, and adjusted for population, Los Angeles dispensaries might sell an estimated $475 million worth of dispensary cannabis per year, and California clubs might be selling an estimated $1.9 billion in medical cannabis per year." Feb 2 2012 "America's largest cash crop brings in an average revenue of $35.8 billion a year, according to drugscience.org. This is the same as the revenue of soybeans, hay and vegetables combined. The crop is not corn, nor is it wheat or cotton, and it certainly is not fruit. America's most valuable harvest is cannabis, or as it's more commonly known, marijuana." Feb 2 2012 MPP: "an overwhelming 65% supported decreasing the penalties for simple possession of less than an ounce of marijuana by removing the possibility of jail time and making the offense a civil citation." Feb 2 2012 Can't stop the grow-ops. Jan 26 2012 Study from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows "gang-related deaths typically aren’t the product of fights over drugs — as many assume — but rather result from grudges between rival gangs that erupt into violence." Jan 26 2012 The Drug War: a great excuse for the government to steal land and property from citizens. Jan 26 2012 "Carl Anderson, the former operator of the Canadian Safe Cannabis Society in Kamloops, asked council on Tuesday, Jan. 24, to consider allowing himself and a group of others with medical pot licences to lease a piece of property to grow the plant." Jan 26 2012 National Post editorial: "There are many logistical hurdles to overcome, but I tend to think one of the many alcohol and cigarette distribution systems we use could be adapted to marijuana. Once a mechanism is settled on and border issues with the Americans are worked out, the benefits are obvious." Jan 26 2012 "RCMP and border officials shed more light Thursday on what they say is a scheme to repeatedly import drugs into Canada, with cocaine-stuffed pineapples intercepted at a port in New Brunswick and marijuana packaged around watermelons seized from trucks in Ontario." Jan 26 2012 Information from Health Canada on personal medical marijuana growing operations as part of the Marihuana Medical Access Regulations.
