The response to my campaign to enlist anonymous volunteers to destroy marijuana (because the DEA can't do it themselves) has been so successful - with over 35,000 people already taking the pledge to search for, find, seize and destroy marijuana in controlled burns or using other techniques - that we feel that some of these volunteers deserve special honors for their sacrifice for keeping the local police and the DEA safe from hazardous materials.

The holidays have been very happy for me and everyone here at Quick Trading. Not only has Celeb Stoner listed Marijuana Grower's Handbook as the Best Cultivation Book of 2010, but I also recently received a copy of the DEA Position on Marijuana report and found that they named me second under Biggest Threats: The Legalization Lobby.

I am astounded at the response to my recent blog about my new volunteer position with the DEA.

In this video I talk with Robert Wooster, a medical marijuana user who was arrested in Bob Hope Airport in Burbank California for carrying a pound of his medicine.

In the last few weeks the U.S. government detected two commercial tunnels running across the U.S.-Mexico border. They were constructed to eliminate the tedium of bribing customs agents at the border. They publicized it as if it were a major blow to the marijuana industry. The officials probably don't realize how ridiculously 20th century they look, still doing body counts. But there's another side of it, that proves them to also be totally ineffective.

In California, Proposition 19, the ballot initiative that would have legalized and taxed the recreational use of marijuana, lost by a few percentage points. As compared with the losing gubernatorial candidate, former Ebay CEO Meg Whitman, it did quite well.

By now, everyone knows the marijuana propositions that would have allowed medical marijuana in South Dakota, dispensaries in Oregon and legalized recreational marijuana in California did not pass, but it won.

A week after Robert Wooster was arrested, I decided that I would test the law regarding possession of under an ounce going through Bob Hope Burbank, California airport (Los Angeles County). I was ticketed at the airport for the misdemeanor of possession of under an ounce.
