Not sure I agree with smokin' it...but I don't agree with Government's perceived right to control it. You would think that they would legalize it so that they can do what they do best: tax the shit out of it. Anyway...this page came across my desk and I thought that ya'll might want to have a look :)

Cya :)

Why is Pot Illegal

WE SHOULD START WITH LEGALIZING HEMP. THERE IS NO REASON THAT HEMP SHOULD BE ILLEGAL NO THC. NO REASON TO USE IT TO GET HIGH. THOUSANDS OF USES FROM FOOD TO FIBER TO OIL AND FUEL AND SO MANY UNKNOWN BENEFITS BECAUSE IT HAS NOT BEEN LOOKED AT IN THIS COUNTRY FOR SO MANY YEARS. FARMERS WOULD MAKE WAY MORE THAN THE 778 MILLION SHOWN ON THE TAX CHART.

Beginning March 15th to Memorial Day, this might (hopefully) be appearing on the CBS "Super Billboard" (26ft x 20ft) In New York Time Square.

Marijuana is a piece of nature, that grows wildly throughout the whole world it even grows in the desert. We can not allow them to illegalize nature. But thats besides the point here are the medicinal benefits of the sweet Marry Jane

there's alot of good research ! And alot of reasons Big Pharma would want to keep it illegal. If it were 2 b legalized for medical use, and all of those ailments were reasons for MD's to prescribe MJ the pharmacuetical companies would stand to lose alot of money. Although growing medical MJ would have to b a profitable business........

Voters approve Arizona medical marijuana measure

PHOENIX — Arizona voters have approved a measure that will legalize medical marijuana use in the state for people with chronic or debilitating diseases.

Final vote tallies showed Saturday that Proposition 203 won by a tiny margin of just 4,341 votes out of more than 1.67 million votes counted. The measure had started out losing on Election Day by about 7,200 votes, but the gap gradually narrowed in the following 10 days.

"Now begins the very hard work of implementing this program in the way it was envisioned, with very high standards," said Andrew Myers, campaign manager for the Arizona Medical Marijuana Policy Project. "We really believe that we have an opportunity to set an example to th

Bob Marley died in 1981, officially due to malignant melanoma, a dangerous type of cancer that was found on his toe.

Hemp Car To Make Record 10,000-mile Trip"Hemp oil has the same energy as diesel," Wirtshafter said. "Whatever your car does on diesel, it'll do on hemp. It's even possible to process hemp for a gasoline engine, but it's more complex."

Montel Williams was issued a citation for possession of drug paraphernalia at a Milwaukee airport on Tuesday.

The former talk show host was busted with a pipe used for smoking marijuana, according to CNN. He paid a TSA fine of $484 on the spot and was released to continue his journey, which we assume involved him getting high ... in the air.

Williams suffers from multiple sclerosis and has long been an outspoken advocate for legalization of marijuana.

Recently, 700 Club founder Pat Robertson also voiced his support for the decriminalization of marijuana, saying, "I'm not exactly for the use of drugs, don't get me wrong, but I just believe that criminalizing marijuana, criminalizing the possession of a few ounces of pot, that kinda thing it's just, it's costing us a fortune and it's ruining young people."

In December, Jeff Bridges admitted that he almost turned down the role of the pot-smoking Dude in "The Big Lebowski" out of concern for his daughters, even though he admits to being a longtime herbal enthusiast.

And that's today's celebrity pot report.

Late this past year, Willie Nelson got caught smokin’ the ganja on his tour bus, and now it looks like Montel Williams is the latest star with reefer madness. The tall drink of chocolate milk was busted in Milwaukee on Tuesday at an airport by TSA officials when they found drug paraphernalia. That paraphernalia turned out to be a marijuana pipe in his carry-on luggage. Of course, Montel is no stranger to getting caught with the sticky-icky; he’s gotten busted in the past and had to pay fines as well. This time the fine came in the form of $484, which is probably chump change to the man who sells pressure cookers on late-night infomercials, right? At least he was smart enough to clean it out, because officials found no residue in the pipe, which could have been another fine altogether. He’s also an advocate for the use of medical marijuana, due to his diagnosis of MS back in 1999. At any rate, Williams paid the fine and was on his way. According to a couple of cannabis forums, it’s legal to bring a medical marijuana pipe on a plane as long as it’s completely clean, but obviously not – and what do they know, they’re probably all high anyway. But if they’re right, somebody tell this guy to get a damn card already.

(NaturalNews) Raw marijuana is illegal in the United States and is not approved by the FDA for medical uses though many states have broken away from the Union preferring to help rather than hurt people, as the federal government seems to prefer. The federal government is ignoring the science that has repeatedly demonstrated that marijuana is not dangerously addictive, is less harmful than alcohol, and in no way causes the social ramifications that got it banned for in the first place. Charlotte Smith said appropriately, "Heaven would smile if we would drop the use of the word 'marijuana' which was given as part of their propaganda against The Holy Herb of Cannabis."

THC has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration because medical science confirms its use in a broad variety of clinical situations. Specifically a THC-containing drug called Marinol is FDA approved though it does not come close to effectiveness of natural cannabinoids. Synthetic copies of natural substances rarely if ever maintain the same pharmacological effects as the original and we know this to be especially true in the case of marijuana and the chemicals the pharmaceutical companies manufacture to simulate natural cannabinoids.

Ore. sheriff taking pot user gun permit case to DC

MEDFORD, Ore. (AP) - An Oregon sheriff who lost a state legal battle to deny a concealed handgun license for a medical marijuana patient has decided to take his case to the U.S. Supreme Court.

Jackson County Sheriff Mike Winters has argued that issuing the license would violate federal law, specifically the Gun Control Act of 1968.
