The DEA has tried many strategies to try to close down many of the dispensaries in California. The most common now is the letter to the landlords threatening them that it is a federal crime to rent property to people or a business involved in illegal “drugs”. But now any of the Cannabis clubs have tried to use the courts to fight back. Under the constitution, and by law it is ALLOWED to have Medical Marijuana clubs here in California.

Steven Schectman, an attorney with Arcata, Calif.-based Pacific Law, is leading the charge against the DEA on their behalf. In late January, he sued the agency in federal court, alleging it violated pot clubs’ civil rights and seeking an injunction to halt future letters.”The DEA is perceived to be a super-entity in the United States, and that’s because they’ve been abusive in their police powers,” Schectman said.

He also successfully defended a Los Angeles club, the Arts District Healing Center, from an eviction brought after its landlord received a letter. Schectman argued that the landlord had no right to evict the club because the tenant hadn’t broken the lease contract, and a judge agreed. Dale Gieringer, California director of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws, calls this the “Schectman ploy.” The strategy has emerged as a model for how the fight between pot clubs and the DEA could play out over the coming months.

The bill that was passed, and now allows people to be able to possess one-quarter ounce or less of marijuana without facing jail time under a bill on it’s way to the state Senate. The house voted 193-141 Tuesday to decriminalize small amounts of marijuana, the punishment is now reduced to a $200 fine, before it was a year in jail and paying a $2,000 fine, ouch! It’s a major relief to the marijuana community in New Hampshire. Marijuana supporters argued that the law right now has a “down the road” impact on the youths’  life, they shouldn’t suffer such harsh consequence’s for a “mistake” as the government sees it.

Judd Apatow’s next big hit is Pineapple Express directed by David Gordon Green arriving next summer.  

There’s just something really funny about Harry Osborn from SpiderMan like a huge pothead and Marijuana dealer. Check out that Cross joint, Now that’s something I haven’t seen. I can’t wait until this move is out! Its definitely going to me on my top priority for movies to watch. This clip should explain a lot.

Here’s how the movie is described: A stoner (Seth Rogen) and his dealer (James Franco) are forced to go on the run from the police after the pothead witnesses a cop commit a murder. It’s apparently half action, with lots of guns, and half comedy. I just imagine a combination of Half Baked and Hot Fuzzwith Apatow’s brilliance injected. Thanks again to JoBlo, as this is there exclusive.

Watch a great Clip from the movie about the “cross joint” and the Pineapple Express strain here!

Pineapple Express is directed by David Gordon Green (Snow Angels, Undertow, All the Real Girls) and written by Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg, and Judd Apatow. The film arrives in theaters next summer on August 8th, 2008.

The US Department of health and human services and SAMHSA’s National Clearinghouse for Alcohol and Drug Information, had this to say about marijuana.

“Marijuana affects your lungs. There are more than 400 known chemicals in marijuana. A single joint contains four times as much cancer-causing tar as a filtered cigarette.”

 400 known chemicals in Marijuana? Here is why this is pure FAKE. In cigarettes.. there is 4000 known chemicals when it is smoked.  Marijuana is an ORGANIC plant that grows from the very soil your tomatoes or lettuce is being grown on that is being used by Burgerking everyday.  The only chemicals in marijuana are the ones that are derived naturally by mother earth! Marijuana is not a drug. CIGGARETTES ARE DRUGS. On a pack of cigarettes it even says it will kill you, yet it is being sold nationwide 100% legal. It has no benefits to the world or the human body.

Logically speaking is this anything close to a “Fact”. The American College of Physicians (ACP) said that they have strong evidence that marijuana has proven useful in treating AIDS wasting syndrome, glaucoma, chemotherapy rehab, and much more. This was said the second largest doctors organization in America. Who would I believe a doctor or some moron writing junk that makes no sense. Marijuana prohibition has gone for long enough. What happend to the Alcohol prohibition of the 1900’s? IT NEVER WORKED! It will never work for Marijuana as well.

Finnally, the 13th. Soon we will be on the 50th state to legalize Medical Marijuana. Sooner or later it will be the discussion to finnaly legalize the use of Marijuana(hemp) for the industrial field as well. So much potential profits can come from Marijuana to the United States.

“Illinois - Members of the Senate Public Health Committee voted 6-4 to legalize the use of medical marijuana in Illinois. A similar bill fell just shy of a majority vote in the Senate last year, and the legislation would make Illinois the 13^th state to legalize medical use of marijuana.

The bill will allow patients with “debilitating medical conditions” to obtain a prescription from their doctor. Under these circumstances, possession of under 8 plants and 2 ½ ounces of useable marijuana would be considered legal.

Two weeks ago New Hampshire passed similar legislation so there may soon be 14 states that have disobeyed federal regulations regarding medical marijuana. That, coupled with the American College of Physicians’ endorsement of the drug a couple weeks ago, should push the federal government to repeal the ban on medical marijuana.”

If you hate those “Live Above The Influence” ads, you will laugh your ass off at this one.

Is everyone fine with stereotyping? How about the Marijuana community? I sure know that many minority groups don’t appreciate the stereotypes we all know of.

Now we have these ads directed by our public service administration leading our youth to accept a stereotype. According to the Office of National Drug Control Policy and the Partnership for a Drug-Free America, smoking marijuana makes you stupid and listen to Indie rock?

So now the public is to believe that if you smoke marijuana, you become a stupid mindless indie rock fan… From all my years of smoking marijuana I have never limited my horizons for music. If anything, marijuana helped me discover a more vast array of music.

It angers me that these hypocrites are creating a stereotype, yet promoting a society where people are not placed into these stereotypes. By both my parents and grade school, i was taught that stereotyping groups of people is wrong, and most importantly, to treat everyone with respect regardless of their background, culture, or the color of their skin. I don’t understand where this fits in. Where did they gather this information from, how did they conclude once and for all that smoking marijuana will place you into the stereotype of a stupid, mindless, Indie rock listener? Where is the experimental proof?

I want the same proof that scientist and doctors, all over the world have studied marijuana, to their conclusion, that marijuana is greatly beneficial. Marijuana has helped so many people, from life threatening diseases, such as Cancer, AIDS, and other numerous ailments. Why is marijuana banned, is it because it makes people listen to Indie rock? This is the real reason why marijuana is banned, Read Here

Would you agree that this is true?

Here is something useful you can do with those pesky male plants.

What you will need:
1 stick butter/margarine for every 1/4 ounce Medical Marijuana, or 1/2 ounce of plant material (fan leafs, stalk, etc.)
1 saucepan
1 packet of cheesecloth
1 medium sized bowl

These are some male plants chopped up.
Cooking:
Begin by adding 3 cups of water to the saucepan, let it come to a bowl before adding the stick(s) of butter. As the butter begins to bowl add the buds, turn the heat down so the water stays at a simmer for about 30 to 45 minutes. Let it cool down before you strain it through the cheesecloth into the medium sized bowl, grab some tongs and squeeze the rest of the butter out of the strained remains. Now refrigerate for a couple of hours, or put it in the freezer if you can catch it before the water freezes, a lot more easier to work with if the water is not frozen.

Our ancestors have been seeking out narcotics to lift there spirits since early 4000. No wounder we have record braking numbers in rehab now, some charts to show the common narcotics used by millions of people across the world.

Drugs and Alcohol -

Alcohol - Some experts believe that the world’s first impromptu breweries might have been created when grain stores became drenched with rain and warmed in the sun. Ever since, humans have discovered that alcohol reduces their inhibitions, impairs their judgement, affects sexual desire and performance, creates beer bellies and leads to hangovers (and dubious cures).

Binge drinking is an ever-increasing health concern, and when not consumed in moderation, alcohol can lead to liver problems, brain damage and infertility. Drinking whilst pregnant can also damage the unborn child. It is not all bad news though: studies show that some types of booze, such as red wine, are rich in antioxidant polyphenols which can help prevent heart disease and cancer.

Marijuana, once the preserve of hippies, is now regularly smoked by millions of people in the US and UK. Around 14.6 million Americans have used marijuana in the last 30 days. Though still controversial, support for controlled legalisation of this most common illegal drug is growing.

Pure kush is a very relaxed indica strain with a mind numbing high. The bud is light green, with spots of dark green, and clusters of dark orange hairs, light coat of trichomes. Does not omit a strong scent, but when smelled up close, it is very sharp, and fruity. It is very dense compact buds, yet easily broken apart, and handled. The effects kick in gradually, as if your head was slowly being depressurized, the high creeps out of you as slowly as it crept in. In all i would very much enjoy getting this strain again in the future.

-Good for head aches/insomnia/migraines
-Very relaxed high
-THC Content: 10-15%

New supply at VIP coop in Burbank.

Avalanche is a mostly sativa hybrid, well known for being one of the highest yielding strains. It has dark green leaves but the trichomes make it look white and sugar coated. It has a very strong fruit smell, but not overwhelming. You still get that great marijuana scent. The buds are dense and easy to manage, after a few tokes I was on my ass on the couch (out of it!). It’s a smooth smoke with a great fruity taste. It has a long lasting cerebral/euphoric high that will slowly fade throughout the body. It got me going around not knowing what I was after, but still allows you to get work done.

-Great Sleep promotor.
-THC Content: 16%+
