CANNABIS CULTURE - My good friend, Cannabis Champion and Media Whore Matt Mernagh, looks like he has a long career ahead of him in politics. Matt is the latest to apply for a high-profile position with Toronto Mayor Rob Ford's crack political team. Canada.com has the details: Best known as the man who temporarily struck down Canada’s ban on marijuana, Mernagh has spent years fighting for the rights of medical cannabis users.

After a December to May that had a surprising number of cool, cloudy and rainy days, the 90F -100F (30C - 38C) sunny weather I like has been here for two weeks and is likely to stay for the next four months. Nonetheless, I hope I am not here to see all of them.

The biggest celebration day in the cannabis culture is April 20. The April 20 (4/20) celebration originally started in the mid 1970s as the time of day after school, 4:20 pm, for high school students in San Rafael, California to meet to smoke pot. The phrase "I'll see at you at 4:20" became code for, "I'll be there to smoke a joint with you after classes are over".

I often get asked about what I mean when I say that our Sensible BC campaign wants to "decriminalize" cannabis in BC. Some people tell me they don't like the idea of decriminalizing, and that we must legalize cannabis instead. Other people say they don't want legalization, and will only support a decriminalized model. Some people think that "decriminalization" means that people in possession of cannabis will still get a punishment, like a ticket or fine.

Upon learning that the Washington State Liquor Control Board is seeking consultant applications for a legal marijuana production and distribution system, Marc wrote this tongue-in-cheek submission. Marc was extradited to and sentenced in Seattle, Washington despite operating his seed business in Vancouver, BC, Canada at all times.

I had some additional thoughts about Michael Coren's Sun TV interview with my wife Jodie and his subsequent Toronto Sun newspaper rant (both are attached to the beginning of my last blog) about me and the cannabis culture.

Marc wrote this prison blog in response to an offensive, inaccurate attack column against Jodie, Marc and all marijuana legalization activists written by Michael Coren, a columnist and TV host for “Fox News North” Sun Media.

CANNABIS CULTURE - The best way to celebrate the holiday season is to light up a fat Christmas Tree with a circle of family and friends, then kick back with a spiced eggnog and a huge plate of festive baked treats. This was the scene at the 2012 Cannabis Culture Christmas Staff Party, held on December 12 at the BCMP Vapor Lounge.

It’s December 6 today, I've got 4 months until I get my transfer-back-to-Canada application to the Department of Justice in Washington D.C. It’s 580 days to go if I serve my entire sentence here in the US federal prison system (up to July 9, 2014) with 1,010 days now served – that’s 33 months done, 19 to go (on a 60-month sentence, I'll serve 52 months with my good time credit).
