Bong Ban In AU Might Influence The US To Follow
In South Australia, The government has thought of a way to stop the cannabis smokers and all other drug users. This method that was accepted and made law to ban all bongs will actually do more harm then good. The Rann Government’s ban on bongs will not stop drug use and could have dangerous flow-on effects on the health of pot smokers, according to users and experts. It’s just sad to see more restrictions on the Marijuana community.
In the United States it was brought up to ban the sale of bongs as well. Hopfully this law doesn’t influence the federal government to Ban bongs over here as well. It will be hard as some people really do need it as a way to take their medication.
One local drug expert, pharmacology associate professor Rodney Irvine, said users will seek other ways to inhale smoke and that could be more dangerous.

Michigan Medical Marijuana Act
With the initiative known as the Michigan Medical Marijuana Act, being sponsored by the Michigan Coalition for compassionate Care (MCCC), the act was passed to legislature, if the legislature does not act upon it, it will go to the voters in November. With more then a 2 to 1 ratio in which the people voted YES for medical use of marijuana, the act will surely pass in November. Michigan will be the first mid-west state to approve of medical marijuana, and the second largest state with 10 million residents. The act will:
-Allow Seriously ill patients to use medical marijuana with their Doctors approval.
-Protect those seriously ill patients from being arrested for their medicine.
-Allow Patients, and caregivers to cultivate marijuana for medical use with a limit on how much can grow.
-Create medical marijuana cards, so that patients can easily be identified by law enforcement.
-Allow those who are arrested for marijuana to discuss their medical use for it.
-Continuing certain prohibitions for medical use of marijuana as, public use of marijuana and driving under the influence of marijuana.
Even though this act will only allow those with serious illness’s to have medical marijuana for medicine, I still agree that this bill is a big step not only for the marijuana community, but also for the future economic status of the US. Having many uses and applications, if marijuana is legalized, it can then be taxed, even though the progress might be very small, it is still progress towards a debt free America.

People are much stronger today, the media doesn’t dominate like it did years back. People today are now coming out and speaking the truth, without fear. Nothing can overpower freewill. This past decade has been the biggest movement for anti-drug prohibition ever recorded in the united states. The public is now realizing the truth. Tax payer’s money is not going to what the public really needs. This war is not on drugs anymore, its on the people. Government trust is fading, as nothing the government has done today has helped the public of the serious issues, Our health care, economic downfall due to wasteful spending, gas prices; this list can go on.
People now seek for the truth and now they don’t go for the government. Today, information can be found easily which was not available years ago. The Internet is a powerful tool. This allows a person to believe what they want to believe instead of being fed the facts by the media. This Drug war has been the biggest waste of the United States with the most failure ever documented. Now we all are realizing; the brainwashing and false advertising of Marijuana to be “dangerous and deadly” in America is fading.
Soon, there will be commercials of Marijuana Healing, instead of bashing. The “War On Drugs” is a failure. How many news articles, internet blogs, speeches, events, rallys and anything speaking the truth of this does it take to convince the federal government of the truth?

Here is a great helpful article that can help the community of growers. Aeroponics!
So far, from a lot of research and personal experience, Aeroponics has proved its worth! Aeroponics is quite different, It uses the same aspects as DWC ( Deep Water Culture). This is actually so much more easier to take care of, No more soil and slow growth! Get prepared for amazing results when using Aeroponics.
Aeroponcis is the process of growing plants in air or mist environment without the use of soil or an aggregate medium. Aeroponic culture differs from both hydroponics and in-vitro (Plant tissue culture) growing. Unlike hydroponics, which uses water as a growing medium and essential minerals to sustain plant growth, aeroponics is conducted without a growing medium, but just an anchor medium such as Hydrotons(clay pebbles) This allows a lot of root growth and FAST plant growth. The speed compared to soil growing is amazing. Read more

As most of the public in New York know, that the Rockefeller drug policies are just unfair and insane. Passed in 1973 at the urging of Gov. Nelson Rockefeller, New York’s Rockefeller drug laws established harsh mandatory sentences for people convicted of selling or possessing relatively small amounts of schedule I drugs(Marijuana, Cocaine, etc.) This “Drop the Rock” Campaign has been going on since the early 1990’s. The fall of Eliot Spitzer caused by his prostitution scandals, shines new light upon drug reform. Not only has this been a spending issue for the state, but also a widely known racial bias for the Blacks and Latinos. Now with a state budget, it is only right to reduce the spending of these harsh drug policies, and accept the truth that the “Drug War” is just wasteful. This can open the door to Medical Marijuana with the help of David Paterson. Read more

Marc Emery, the West Coast marijuana advocate who faces a possible life sentence in America for opening a mail-order marijuana seed business out of his Vancouver headquarters. The Canadians are so angered by their own government for even considering extraditing emery over to the US to spend life in prison. His case settled to keep him in canada but now it is a different story. Not only the marijuana community, but the public as well is outraged. Many are against Emery due to the common brainwashed public believing marijuana to be a dangerous drug. They believe he is an evil man dealing drugs so they want the worst punishment for him.
Earlier this year Emery was able to arrange a plea bargain with U.S. prosecutors that would see him accept a 10-year sentence on their charges, of which he would serve half. Under the deal his co-accused colleagues would go free and Emery would serve Read more

Loading …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!

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.
