Monsanto, and GMO Terminator Cannabis

Now Monsanto wants to control and genetically modify your pot seeds...

Hoopa Valley Tribal Council shuts down newspaper

The people of the Hoopa Valley Tribe adopted a constitutional provision to protect freedoms of speech and press, and the wishes of the people need to be respected.

Apparently, the leaders on the Hoopa Valley Tribal Council has shut down the tribal newspaper over budget and editorial issues.

Legal Drug Deaths and Marijuana Dangers

So much ado about nothing while real danger lurks nearby.

(MOLALLA, Ore.) - The Oregonian recently published "Pharmacy robberies sweep the US" which is about OxyContin in robberies of pharmacies with the robbers killing any possible witnesses. Kudos for telling the truth. These robberies occurred 686 times in 2010 and will probably go up this year as the OxyContin problem is widely endemic.

About 1.3 million pills were stolen in 2010 and the street price for one OxyContin pill went up to $80. The article also pointed out that there are at least 7 million marijuana users.

Medical Cannabis Community on RED Alert

It is very important to build support from our political leaders, and question the Obama Administration for their actions.

(WASHINGTON D.C.) - Under the Obama Administration, Deputy Attorney General James Cole issued a memo reinforcing the intent of the federal government to interfere with state medical cannabis laws, specifically the creation and licensing of dispensing centers.

Compromising the legitimacy of dispensing centers will jeopardize access for patients in medical cannabis states across the country.

Students Protest 40th Anniversary of Nixon`s War on Drugs

Advocacy Groups Hold Candlelight Vigils Across the Country to Honor Lives Lost to Prohibitionist Drug Policies.

(EUGENE) - An international group of students and community members working to end the war on drugs will gather Friday at 8 p.m. at Wayne Morris Freedom Plaza as part of a global protest to the escalating negative consequences of the failed war on drugs.

This Friday marks the 40th anniversary of President Richard Nixon’s declaration of the “war on drugs.” His decision catapulted the U.S. into a wasteful, decade-long failed effort that has had zero impact on drug consumption in the U.S.

Marijuana in Oregon: 300,000 Users + New Restrictions Will Increase Use

Countering the federal nonsense about cannabis/marijuana.

(MOLALLA, Ore.) - My text comes partially from the Oregonian editorial June 11, 2011 Re Marijuana: “Seeing Through the Smoke” which again impugns or questions the efficacy of Medical Marijuana. It also seems to hail a U.S. Attorney in Portland for his “knowledge” of Marijuana as medicine in Oregon.

He is funny/strange in his lack of knowledge. Both he and the Oregonian made many errors of fact and innuendo.
