Purple Wheelchair is a heavy indica, at first glance it was a dimmly colored bud. Being darker purple in some areas with touches of green, with very light faded orange hairs with a nice coat of trichomes. The bud was airy and some what sticky, the smell was very strong, under-tone sweet grape. After a toke, the smoke was a little on the harsh side, but after taste was not bad. This strain is a couch-lock as the name intends, the effect was very stoney and patients will enjoy this strain most in the night, or before bed.

-Aids with sleep
-THC Content : 13-16%

-Found at A F.Y.A.H. House

SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. (AP) Authorities have dropped charges against a school psychologist who was arrested on marijuana and child endangerment charges.
Cynthia Anne Norris, 33, and Alexander Balestrero, 30, were arrested in January after officers reportedly found 93 marijuana plants growing in the couple’s Christmas Valley home.
Norris, a psychologist with the Lake Tahoe Unified School District, said she was aware of Balestrero’s growing operation but believed it was legal under California’s medical marijuana laws. (more…)

This is a great article i found, that i think strainreview subscribers should read.

In the last column, I criticized the strict parenting techniques the RCMP suggested at a DARE presentation as being unrealistic.

First off, to the parents and administrators that were shocked at the actual amount of substance abuse going on, I have to say, “Get your heads out of the sand.” As for the statistics and views presented, I felt they were very misleading and biased towards one vice in particular while letting others off the hook.

Forwarding an announcement from the ASA list about US House Judiciary Committee Chairman Conyers letter to Acting DEA Administrator Leonhart sent this afternoon!
The letter demands that she answer questions about the agency’s ongoing interference and intimidation in California before July 1. This letter brings us one step closer to Congressional hearings on DEA activity in California, and represents a tremendous success for medical cannabis providers on the federal level. It is our hope that these hearings will make further DEA interference politically unpalatable for the Justice Department, while putting more fuel on the fire for Congressional action on medical cannabis.

Chairman Conyers’ letter is not likely to make national news, but it is an important turning point in this broadest and most protracted DEA attack on patients’ access. What happens next depends on how effective we can be. Please have a look at the action alert in the “May Action Alert” folder in the files section of the yahoo Group to find out if you live or work in one of the six strategic districts represented by a California Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee. Chairman Conyers needs there support, and they need to hear from us!

Timothy Garon who was a 56 year old musician, was denied a organ transplant because of his medical marijuana use to treat the symptoms of advanced hepatitis C, nausea, abdominal pain and to stimulate his appetite. Garon died Thursday, one week after he got the news from his doctor that a University of Washington Medical Center committee had again denied him a spot on the liver-transplant list.

“He said I’m going to die, with such conviction,” Garon said then. “I’m not angry, I’m not mad, I’m just confused.”

Should pot use with a doctor’s authorization be held against a dying patient who needs an organ transplant? Read More
