Marie Claire editor-in-chief Joanna Coles, is one of many modern professional women who disagree with the somewhat common belief, that there is a large social stigma attached to smoking marijuana.

PTSD: Rapacious Demons in Our Heads, Psychiatric Malpractice in Grey`s Anatomy

One Hollywood TV show receives favorable reviews, from a doctor who would know.

(MOLALLA, Ore.) - I believe Grey's Anatomy as a depiction of the life of Medical/Surgical interns and residents is outstanding. I went through that meat grinder myself and I psychologically compared it to front-line infantry combat. Death is/was the enemy and as interns, green as glass, it seemed sometimes that we were required to know MORE than the Senior Residents or Staff Doctors.

Letter to Salem-News.com Jack Herer: `My Wonderful Fortune`

A letter to Salem-News.com, from a friend of Jack Herer's.

(HANOVER, Ontario) - Hemp Icon Jack Herer, author of "The Emperor Wears No Clothes" had a heart attack last weekend at Hempstalk in Portland, Oregon. Jack & his wife Jeannie are friends of Salem-News.com, and we have been covering the event with as much respect as possible over the last few days.

Last Friday, a news organization released an article claiming that Jack had died, when in fact he had not. Moreover, the writer was extremely disrespectful toward Jack. We called the hospital and confirmed that the information was false, and quickly published the fact that Jack was very much alive, and remained in critical condition. It is an honor to receive and publish this response from one of Jack's oldest friends.

I sure don't see this type of mistake very often, and I am not sure if there are actual reporters at this publication, or if it is a "citizen journalist" site where nobody is actually required to check facts. A simple call to the hospital perhaps?
