It has always bothered me that at most working facilities, Medical Marijuana is not accepted as medicine, therefore still being considered a dangerous drug. What all this means is that employers are faced with a real dilemma. They are expected to work with their ill or injured employees. Yet at the same time, they have a responsibility to provide a safe workplace - but now, with the presence of a drug that’s not well understood. The two court cases may clarify the balance of these responsibilities.

This leads to a person either getting fired, or not hired at all. When jobs require drug tests, and find that THC (the main chemical in Marijuana) has been found in the test, Medical Marijuana cannot be used as an excuse.

There are exceptions due to working environment and are understandable and of course many jobs require that no medicine that can cause ones abilities to be impaired to be used in the working area due to machinery or something related in that nature. But many people are not even able to get jobs due to this.

I just really want to find out who really does believe that Marijuana should just be kept for home medicinal use, or should be accepted by the public and the working community as a medical requirement by a person. Take the poll and vote, lets see what everyone thinks about this one!

One of the newest but surly not a rare find at a medical marijuana coop. This medical marijuana strain was just in so I got a fresh dose of medicine . The leaves are very short and dense with a medium coating of very tiny crystals. There is a shade of orange and tint of silver in each bud due to the abundant amount of crystal covered orange hairs. And with it being so dense, a small amount of bud goes a long way. The flavor is weak leaving much to be desired afterwards.

Effects from this indica kush start at the upper body region and quickly move to the rest of the body. It has a nice relaxing high to it after ~30 minutes. Blazed, I fully recommend checking out some art! The high lasts an average time, around hour and a half, but is a great all-around feeling without a harsh come down. Thanks tfs!

-Medium head high to relaxing body high
-Weak Flavor
-Helps with Sleeping disorders

This bud is mainly a sativa, 90% to 10% indica. This bud is fluffy, but quite dense, with a pale white shade of trichomes covering it. The crystals are very long and colored with a light orange to amber coloring. The trichomes make this strain look pale white/green, but not much signs of calyxes in this strain. There is a fresh scent of haze with traits of citrus, almost like an orange. The taste was great with an orange taste and a hazey after burn. It has a very trippy visual high, you can feel it start to creep up on you and takes control of your body and eyes. It has a psychedelic feel throughout the long lasting high with a soft and smooth comedown. Overall, another sativa strain that was pretty impressive.

-Great for headaches
-Long lasting
-THC Content: 14-16%

The legalization of marijuana has been going on for almost a century in the United States. An article by Stephen J. Dubner discuss’s the true facts and situations of why the united states is having a hard time accepting Marijuana compared to alcohol. The alcohol prohibition lasted 13 years, but the marijuana prohibition is lasting till this day. The article great facts and arguments by doctors and politicians regarding the matter of marijuana legalization. Many pros, cons, and professional opinions. I recommend this to be read by those of who truly believe the issue of marijuana legalization.

“So here’s an example. Pretend that humankind made it all the way to the 21st century without alcohol or marijuana. (Perhaps this would not have been possible?) Now pretend that alcohol and marijuana are simultaneously discovered, and think about what kind of laws would be put in place, if any, to govern their use.

My guess is that the alcohol laws might be tougher than they are now and that the marijuana laws might be more lenient — but, again, I am only guessing.

The alcohol vs. marijuana question is so speculative as to be nearly useless beyond a thought experiment. So we assembled a group of folks with expertise in this area and asked them a much more targeted pair of questions:

Should marijuana be legalized in the U.S.? Why or why not?”

Ignored by the media, the long awaited state ruling has finally come to an end!

Good news for California, and the marijuana community. The California Supreme Court has ruled that California is to follow STATE laws and not Federal Laws. This applies to any events or situations in California regarding federal and state law conflict. ( on short, California medical marijuana patients can defend their use and cultivation of marijuana with the defense of the state. Also Medical marijuana dispensaries now can open and operate without any city hassles!)

Although Marijuana is illegal according to the federal laws, California passed Prop 215 in 1996, California law enforcement has claimed that they could not comply with the state’s medical cannabis laws because they conflicted with federal law, and would take the right action to follow federal law. Regardless of state exceptions of medical marijuana police would still arrest patients, even though the state constitution explicitly says in Article , Section 3.5 (adopted in 1978) that:

“An administrative agency, including an administrative agency created by the Constitution or an initiative statute, has no power: … (c) to declare a statute unenforceable, or to refuse to enforce a statute, on the basis that federal law or federal regulations prohibit the enforcement of such statute unless an appellate court has made a determination that the enforcement of such a statute is prohibited by federal law or federal regulations.”

 Finally this big conflict between federal and state laws has ended. California has set to follow the Constitution to obey and enforce state laws, not federal. Many cities and towns in California have had many problems to open and operate a medical marijuana coop’s due to this conflict between federal and state laws, this will not be an issue anymore. This actually will help California dispensaries defend their Co-op from federal raids. Also, medical marijuana patients will be able to defend their cultivation and use of marijuana safely and with the defense of the state courts! Hopefully this is a step forward in protecting medical marijuana in the United States.

When the New Hampshire House of Representatives voted to decriminalize the possession of small amounts of marijuana, it was the first time the legislative body approved reducing the penalty for having pot.

 But the bill is unlikely to become law. It has little support in the Senate, and Governor John Lynch has said that he will veto this bill if it reaches his desk and now requested that this matter to be on pause. “it sends the wrong message to the state’s young people about the dangers of drugs” What a load of crap!

This is probebly because about a week ago after the bill was passed, Deputy Scott Burns said that New Hampshire House Bill 1623, which would decriminalize the possession of 1/4th ounce, would legalize the “manufacturing” and “distributing” of “over 90 marijuana joints.” Everyone knows these statments are just false! its just another way to keep the Anti-marijuana movement alive. The New Hapshire bill doesn’t even decrimanalize the sale of marijuana at all. Deputy Scott Burns just dug himself in lies. Now everyone will know.

The bill makes possession of a quarter of an ounce or less of cannabis a civil violation of $200 fine, instead of going to jail and paying fines up to $2,500. So Governor Lynch believes it is a good idea to keep these ridiculous laws. Obviously he is from the old generation of the brainwashed society. The force is just to strong to just ignore the marijuana situations of today. Though the House Criminal Justice and Public Safety Committee recommended against passage of the law, the bill passed the full House, 193 to 141, on March 18.

Also, Representative Barney Frank said last week that he will  file a bill in the US House to legalize “small amounts” of marijuana. Nobody was more surprised when the New Hampshire House passed the bill than Jeffrey Fontas, the 21-year-old Democrat from Nashua who cosponsored the legislation.

“Many people told us that it wouldn’t pass, but it did. I think it was because of the way we framed the argument. Mistakes early in life, like a possession charge, can be devastating to the futures of our young people,” he said, adding that a single drug arrest can lead to the loss of a college scholarship, the ability to serve in the military, and the chance to qualify for subsidized housing and food stamps.

One of the sweetest strains I’ve come across so far, this sativa hybrid has dense light and dark green buds that are solid with hues of dark purple. The thick orange/amber/brown hairs make it very fuzzy, covered in a good amount of trichomes that are very visible, also extremely sticky. This strain has a unique grape smell that is intoxicating, with a sweet citrus background. The bud releases a strong grape smell that fills the room when broken apart. The smoke was quite smooth and had a pleasant earthy/citrus taste. The bud lasts well when being burned it doesn’t run out too quick. It has an amazing high that has clear visual effects, with a very airy light stone. The high lasts for about an hour with a smooth comedown. Two thumbs up for this sativa.

- Aids with depression
- THC Content: 15%+

The voters of California said yes, the federal government says no. Tuesday supporters of medical marijuana are saying enough. They want the feds to stop what they claim is the unabated harassment of medical marijuana dispensaries and the patient that use them. Christina. Many in Compton, North Hollywood, and Los Angeles area rally to protest the DEA raids on local medical marijuana dispensaries in downtown. A doctors office that offers medical marijuana recommendation was raided by the DEA and all medical history and records were taken. Even the medical office next door was also raided and its medical history seized. The federal government says that even though California and many other states have passed the bill to legalize medical marijuana, it is still a Federal Crime. Hopefully Rep. Barney Frank and Norml as a team push the new bill Barney Frank has written to finally Decriminalize Marijuana by federal law.

This is just the ways the federal government twists the constitution, stating that under federal law its illigal but clearly through the constitution we all have the right of medical marijuana if our states pass the bills to accept it. In this case, California.You can watch the full video of the rally and the victums of the raids HERE

The leaves are not that stinky but do have a heavy spread of crystals. The purple isn’t very distinct but there is a light green tint that looks nice and is evident in each bud. When the bud is broken up, there is a high-skunky smell that is overpowering. This bud hits the body including arms, hands, legs, and feet perfectly. It is an intense high for about an hour, then easing into a nice feeling of relaxation. This plant is quality, but it could definitely last longer. Strawberry is a true gem to come across and helps make the night a relaxing one. I am usually not a big fan of sativa’s, however, this bud is helping change that. Great medical marijuana review by tfs.

-Short lasting high
-Great body high
-Very good sedative. Can help with sleep, and minor pains.
