Be it hemp morning shakes, peanut chocolate energy balls made of hemp, almond goji powerballs, apple-power porridge (available right here in Victoria BC), finger licking brownies, hemp “cornchips”, veggie burgers or seeds in a salad dressing, there›s no doubt hemp is super-food. Not just hype; it is actually good for you. Hemp has been called the new soy and it’s ever more popular. http://salem-news.com/articles/march202012/hemp-food_dw.php http://salem-news.com/articles/march202012/hemp-food_dw.php Tue, 20 Mar 2012 12:30:00 PDT Organizers of the Denver 420 Rally have announced that the 2012 event will be two consecutive days, Friday April 20th and Saturday April 21st, at Civic Center Park. They will be "celebrating community, exercising constitutional rights and petitioning our government for redress". The theme is Decision 2012. "We have shown the world that cannabis can be used responsibly," said Miguel Lopez, Denver 420 Rally organizer. http://salem-news.com/articles/march122012/denver420-rally2012.php http://salem-news.com/articles/march122012/denver420-rally2012.php Mon, 12 Mar 2012 19:25:00 PDT I argued with myself about reading the heartbreaking story in The Oregonian headline August 28, 2011 Deployed Against Suicide which was a story about the suicide of Matthew Brennan, an Oregon National Guard Iraq War PTSD victim. The Oregonian did a superb job of showing what destruction the American Army does to its young soldiers. His story is typical and should reflect badly on the “system” if they really have one. http://salem-news.com/articles/august302011/vet-suicides-pl.php http://salem-news.com/articles/august302011/vet-suicides-pl.php Tue, 30 Aug 2011 12:59:00 PDT This is a headline pulled from the NYT July 19, 2011. It is not a coincidence that Patricia Kime from the Army Times newspaper interrogated me about this subject in the morning of July 20th for my opinion on this subject. http://salem-news.com/articles/july242011/mj-studiespl.php http://salem-news.com/articles/july242011/mj-studiespl.php Sun, 24 Jul 2011 16:00:00 PDT In British Columbia — the word is now out, thanks to Bill Finley of Hemp & Company, in Victoria, where I got this magnificent bead on the story. http://salem-news.com/articles/july152011/hemp-manufacture-dw.php http://salem-news.com/articles/july152011/hemp-manufacture-dw.php Fri, 15 Jul 2011 15:22:00 PDT The wariness of many Oregon medical marijuana patients was validated Friday, when local MMJ dispensaries received a direct warning from the Federal Government and Oregon's top lawmakers. In some areas, there have been privately run medical dispensaries...doing business on borrowed time. Without the affirmation from voters last fall, it looks like "dispensaries" may not have a leg to stand on. Or do they? http://salem-news.com/articles/june062011/cannabis-dispensaries.php http://salem-news.com/articles/june062011/cannabis-dispensaries.php Mon, 06 Jun 2011 01:15:00 PDT Despite the US government's staunch opposition to medical cannabis farms in Oakland and elsewhere, the feds have begun licensing a whole lot of large legal pot grows throughout the country. But this weed is not for cannabis dispensaries and their patients; it's for Big Pharma. The Drug Enforcement Administration told Legalization Nation in an e-mail last week that 55 unnamed companies now hold licenses to grow cannabis in the United States. http://salem-news.com/articles/june032011/cannabis-pharma.php http://salem-news.com/articles/june032011/cannabis-pharma.php Fri, 03 Jun 2011 16:20:00 PDT In a letter sent late yesterday, the ACLU expresses deep concern about recent letters from several U.S. attorneys from across the country that threaten people who comply with state medical marijuana laws, including state employees and state licensed providers of medical marijuana, with federal prosecution. "Patients, providers and legislatures need clear guidance from DOJ so they can proceed in confidence that state law will be respected." http://salem-news.com/articles/may132011/aclu-marijuana.php http://salem-news.com/articles/may132011/aclu-marijuana.php Fri, 13 May 2011 16:24:00 PDT Dr. Toribio Robert Mestas had been randomly targeted for prosecution by the South Metro Drug Task Force because he gave recommendations for medical marijuana. In his dismissal of the case, Judge Horton ruled that there was nothing improper about Dr. Mestas' recommendation of medical marijuana to an undercover police officer complaining of severe pain and that Colorado's Constitutional Amendment protected physicians by guaranteeing them an exception from the state's criminal laws for making medical marijuana recommendations. http://salem-news.com/articles/may132011/marijuana-doctor.php http://salem-news.com/articles/may132011/marijuana-doctor.php Fri, 13 May 2011 13:50:00 PDT Portland will be host to a special event this Saturday, a panel discussion on the topic of industrial hemp in America featuring Gatewood Galbraith, Paul Stanford; and Casper Leitch. Whether you support the Democratic party, the Grand Ole Party,or the Teapot Party or any other party, the opportunity to participate in this discussion is well worth your time, and that of your friends for that matter. http://salem-news.com/articles/may132011/galbraith-portland.php http://salem-news.com/articles/may132011/galbraith-portland.php Fri, 13 May 2011 10:18:00 PDT No recruit ever considered that basic training would be easy, and in a time of war, they quickly discover that combat is a far cry from Hollywood’s portrayal. Reality is what it is. Dr. Phil Leveque knows this to be true. He served in the US Army and lived through World War II- and bears the scars within to this day. “We were psychologically and physically stretched beyond normal limits and many recruits died. A bunch more were permanently psychologically damaged and the end result was PTSD even during training.” http://salem-news.com/articles/may052011/cannabis-ptsd.php http://salem-news.com/articles/may052011/cannabis-ptsd.php Thu, 05 May 2011 11:16:00 PDT America likes to boast its country’s quality of economic competitiveness. It’s an old story. But here’s one for Canada. http://salem-news.com/articles/may032011/industrial-hemp_dw.php http://salem-news.com/articles/may032011/industrial-hemp_dw.php Tue, 03 May 2011 14:18:00 PDT Scientific trials have for decades documented the anti-cancer properties of cannabis and its constituents. Yet, it took until this week for the website of the National Institute of Cancer, a component of the U.S. government’s National Institutes of Health, to finally acknowledged the herb’s therapeutic utility for patients living with disease or suffering from the adverse side-effects of cancer treatment. http://salem-news.com/articles/march252011/cannabis-cancer.php http://salem-news.com/articles/march252011/cannabis-cancer.php Fri, 25 Mar 2011 18:55:00 PDT In December we carried a report on a new film called "The Idiot Cycle" that delivers the goods on the world's top cancer causing culprits. As this report shows, These same companies control the FDA and under the new "food safety" bill - S 510, they have just gotten the FDA to ban IV vitamin C as an unapproved drug. http://salem-news.com/articles/january272011/cancer-cycles.php http://salem-news.com/articles/january272011/cancer-cycles.php Thu, 27 Jan 2011 14:59:00 PST
