Ed Rosenthal 6 days 8 hours ago President Eisenhower warned of the perniciousness of the “military-industrial complex” in 1961. Since that time the U.S. has become steadily more belligerent. There hasn’t been a day our lives that the U.S. hasn’t been engaged in active military action. David Malmo-Levine 2 weeks 7 hours ago "There are three viable initiatives for cannabis legalization that are bidding to make the ballot in California, and the honest truth is that we cannot afford to split the effort for legalization into three camps, all fighting for resources and energy..." Matt Mernagh 5 weeks 5 days ago It's that time of year again, when every journalist and blogger is creating their own best of lists. I'm no different. Compiling a best marijuana strains of 2011 is one of the easiest blogs to write. During the busy holiday season when your pressed for time copying and pasting can be done quickly. At least that's what you think. Marc Emery 6 weeks 3 days ago I chose that title for today's Christmas blog because I do believe it is a wonderful life, and it's much too short. 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 6 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 7 2012 Probably gives shitty hauls. Feb 7 2012 The cops are using chainsaws at drug raids now? Yeah, that sounds safe. Feb 7 2012 We are NEVER going to end the supply of drugs by making it illegal. The only answer is to LEGALIZE and REGULATE and therefore CONTROL the supply of all drugs. Feb 7 2012 Californians -- and "every dad, mom and other citizen who has been affected by pot stores and drug legalization tactics" should become "IRS Pot Store Whistle-blowers," according to an e-mail Tea Partier Paul Chabot sent Monday to the Coalition for a Drug Free California's e-mail list. The e-mail came under the subject line: Call the IRS and you could earn millions! Feb 7 2012 Hilarious Clerks filmmaker Kevin Smith says his dog loves weed. 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."
