10. Check Out The Bud: After a nice bowl, it’s always satisfying to inspect what you’ve been smoking. Trichomes, and the hairs (pistils) always look better. Smell it and your in heaven. It’s a good feeling know that there are thousands of other strains out there with unique characteristics.

9. Go To A Theme Park: Take some dank brownies over to Six Flags and hop on any roller coaster and every loop, drop, and turn feels 42o times faster. Don’t worry about throwing up, Marijuana helps with this. Cancer patients are actually given marijuana so that they don’t throw up their food after chemo therapy.

8. Music: One of the best things to do when medicated is to listen to music or to play an instrument. Tones are more fluid and vivid. Harmonies are glorious to hear and melodies stick in your head easily. You feel the expression and understand the statement the artist is making. A few recommendations are: Pink Floyd, Dream Theater and Camel.

 7.  Games: It has to be one of the best things to do. Have you ever tried shooting pool, or even playing a video game medicated? Playing video games its just insane. Warcraft, for those of you who don’t know what it is, Warcraft is a computer based, strategy game with elves, orcs, humans, and trolls, and a bunch of other insane looking things. Seems like every game I join everyone has a name like “420elf” or “smokeweedtillIdie” (more…)

Finally One of the biggest Marijuana law reform organizations  (NORML) has teamed up with Rep. Barney Frank (D, MA) to introduce federal decriminalization legislation! This is the big step the marijuana community needed to decriminalize around the nation. This will cause a ripple effect around the world, and cause other countries to start decriminalizing marijuana as well! For the first time in more than two decades, we will soon have legislation in Congress that, if enacted, would finally end the federal prosecution of adult marijuana users. This would eliminate all federal penalties prohibiting the personal use and possession of up to 100 grams (3 1/2 ounces) of marijuana. Also, this bill eliminates, adults who consume cannabis would no longer face arrest, prison, or even threat of civil fine. This bill also eliminates all penalties prohibiting the not-for-profit transfers of up to one ounce of marijuana. Basically, for the first time since 1937, the possession, use and non-profit transfer of pot for personal use by adults would be LEGAL under federal law! This is just great!

Soon we will be able to smoke, eat, use etc marijuana for everything. It will be surprising to most if this bill is enacted, how fast the public, our communities, and everything else in this nation would change. Our economic status will surly benefit.

After long debates regarding federal law and state law, Barney Frank still defends to decriminalize Marijuana as of today march 24 2008.  Frank says it should be left to the state to agree if drug policies should exist or not, and not up to the federal government. Franks says he is following the written constitution that: State’s can create their own laws and policies, and should be followed if a resident of the state. The DEA says that federal law is top priority, than state law.

 Frank, who filed a bill to decriminalize marijuana as a member of the Massachusetts Legislature in the 1970s, said the decision whether to make possession of the drug illegal should be left up to the states. He also said the federal government shouldn’t have a law on the books that is rarely enforced and which doesn’t make sense to large portions of the public. “Do you really think people should be prosecuted for smoking marijuana? I don’t think most people agree with that. It’s one area where the public is ahead of the elected officials,” Frank said in an interview with The Associated Press. “It does not appear to me to be a law that society is serious about.” Frank said he was particularly troubled by federal law enforcement agencies targeting those using marijuana as a legal medical treatment under California law. I don’t think smoking marijuana should be a federal case,” he said. “There’s no federal law against mugging Marijuana use is illegal under U.S. law, which does not recognize the medical marijuana laws in California and 11 other states.

Do you think its fair that innocent people should go to prison for 4 years simply for having a small marijuana joint on them? Do you think its worth our tax paying money to fund something that puts innocent people in prison? Also that doesn’t even help? its been 94 years and the “War on Drugs” has not ended, and never will.  L.E.AP also thinks its time to stop the prohibition.

Now law enforcement officers agree that this prohibition for drugs and marijuana is just too costly and even getting to dangerous for them as well. L.E.A.P Law Enforcement Against Prohibition is organization of law enforcement officers that are trying to educate the congressman of the united states of personal experience. The congressman are not the ones who deal with the wasteful “War on Drugs” that’s been going on for 94 years in the United States, but the police officers. Everyday police must maintain public safety and by law fight against drugs for the “War on Drugs”. This organization is progressing well and is getting support all around the world.

A retired policeman and detective Howard Wooldridge of Lansing, Michigan is a supporter of L.E.A.P and has researched and interviewed many senators about the “War on Drugs”.  “U.S. taxpayers do not understand the incredible deception perpetrated on them by the Drug War. You might even term it a “racket” by those who stand in the power corridors of Washington, DC. “  says Wooldridge.

Officer Wooldridge talked with Senator Biden (D-DE) last month. Senator Biden (D-DE) said at a hearing in February 2008 that drug prohibition touches 60 percent of all crime in America. Wooldridge advised to dramatically reduce crime, death, disease and drug use, the U.S. must end the prohibition approach on the 10 most used drugs.

Barney Frank a Massachusetts Democrat said during an appearance on HBO’s “Real Time with Bill Maher”, that he will soon introduce legislation to decriminalize small amounts of marijuana in Massachusetts. This is Franks second time trying to push the legislation to the House floor for voting, but Frank offered no details on his legislation. Frank also stated on the show that the American public has already decided that personal use of marijuana is not a problem. Will Barney Frank be successful this time around?

(The Politico) Rep. Barney Frank will soon introduce legislation to decriminalize small amounts of marijuana, the Massachusetts Democrat said during an appearance on HBO’s “Real Time with Bill Maher.”

Frank offered no details on his legislation, and it’s not at all clear that he could ever get it to the House floor for a vote. A Frank aide was unaware of his plans other than his statement on HBO.

Frank has introduced legisaltion in previous years to allow the use of “medical marijuana,” although the bills never made it out of the House Energy and Commerce Committee.

Asked by Maher as to why he would push a pot decriminalization bill now, Frank said the American public has already decided that personal use of marijuana is not a problem.

“I now think it’s time for the politicians to catch up to the public,” Frank said. “The notion that you lock people up for smoking marijuana is pretty silly. I’m going to call it the ‘Make Room for Serious Criminals’ bill.”

How about it people, our tax money is going to fund something that doesn’t even exist. CANNABIS ADDICTION! $4 million will be used to establish the nation’s first-ever “Center on Cannabis Addiction” in La Jolla, Califronia. It has been proven time and time, that Marijuana is not addicting. Now the Government believes that the new craze is the scare of “Marijuana Addiction”. 

The government hopes to sway people to believe that if the government is actually spending $4 million to establish a center on Cannabis addiction, people will believe it! “Hey if the government says so, it has to be true” right? WRONG. Even our government can be wrong. Instead of using that money to go to a “Cannabis Addiction Center” why not fund it for the schools? or even California libraries. There are so many other USEFULL things that can be done with $4 million. The government now notices that Marijuana is becoming popular. As the Cannabis culture and community grow, there also will be another side trying to suppress it.
