Support People United for Medical Marijuana of Florida
Dec 08
People United for Medical Marijuana of Florida has begun an effort to have medical marijuana placed on the November 2010 Ballot so that we can finally share in the wonders of medical grade marijuana just like my friends in California have for so long now. Having just returned from the bountiful ganja fields of Jamaica to to the wastelands of Central Florida and the Mexican brown schwag so popular here it’s hard not to want to help these guys get the Florida Constitution changed so I can get a prescription for medical marijuana finally.
It would be such a sweet thing to me to get a prescription for marijuana after so many years arguing with everyone from my mom to my judges and probation officers that I needed it. Ganja is my “mentalcation” and it eases the stress and pains of everyday life for me. I enjoy puffing one for just about any reason but it’s the most fun before and after eating food and first thing in the morning. I like to wake and bake for a fresh start each day 
I’m doing my part online and offline to collect signatures of registered Florida Voters for this ballot initiative and I want my friends in Florida to do the same. Become a volunteer so we can legally smoke weed in Florida in 2011.

Feds give up fight against medical marijuana
Oct 20
I feel sick. I think I need some ganja to heal my pains. I may have to move to California to do so but I can finally smoke herb in America and not face federal prosecution for it. It’s a watershed moment in the fight to legalize marijuana and I for one and excited for the future when we can toke on the White House lawn!!
in reference to:
“Thirteen years after California voters made the Golden State the first in the nation to legalize medical marijuana, the country’s top law enforcement official told U.S. drug agents to stop raiding medical marijuana gardens and busting patients who have medical prescriptions for pot.In a sweeping directive, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder told federal authorities it’s not a wise use of their time to go after people who use or provide medical marijuana in strict compliance with state law. Since California passed the groundbreaking Proposition 215 in 1996, 13 other states have passed similar laws.”

The best argument for the legalization of pot ever written
Feb 21
I came across this article this morning and of course the title caught my attention. When I started reading I had no idea I was about to experience the absolute best argument ever made for the legalization of marijuana that I have ever seen.
It’s a straight forward no bullshit assessment of our current economic condition and a viable solution to California’s budget crisis. The time is now to embrace the decriminalization of marijuana and move past the “War on Drugs”. Have we not had enough war in this lifetime? Smoke a fricking joint and relax for the sake of our economy
Smoke This Recession / It’s simple: First we tax the booze. Then we legalize the pot. Done.
Really now, could there be a better time to decriminalize/fully legalize pot? Or, more fully, to decriminalize pot, and then spread respectable pot shops and vending machines and dispensaries far and wide, instill quality control and decent oversight and then tax the living hell out of the glorious, stress-reducing goodness, as we stop wasting billions fighting its grand ubiquity and instead sink into profitable pools of warm, hazy progress? Don’t you already know the answer?Did you know that Alfie loves you? Tags: Ganja, legalize, marijuana

The Chinese have been smoking marijuana for 2700 years
Nov 28
They found some 2700 year old herb in a tomb in China. What does it all mean? This guy had a friend bury him with some pot for the afterlife. Seems like a friend with weed is a friend indeed.
TheStar.com | sciencetech | 2,700-year-old marijuana found in Chinese tomb
OTTAWA – Researchers say they have located the world’s oldest stash of marijuana, in a tomb in a remote part of China.Did you know that Alfie loves you? Tags: Ganja, marijuanaThe cache of cannabis is about 2,700 years old and was clearly ”cultivated for psychoactive purposes,” rather than as fibre for clothing or as food, says a research paper in the Journal of Experimental Botany.
The 789 grams of dried cannabis was buried alongside a light-haired, blue-eyed Caucasian man, likely a shaman of the Gushi culture, near Turpan in northwestern China.
The extremely dry conditions and alkaline soil acted as preservatives, allowing a team of scientists to carefully analyze the stash, which still looked green though it had lost its distinctive odour.
“To our knowledge, these investigations provide the oldest documentation of cannabis as a pharmacologically active agent,” says the newly published paper, whose lead author was American neurologist Dr. Ethan B. Russo.
Remnants of cannabis have been found in ancient Egypt and other sites, and the substance has been referred to by authors such as the Greek historian Herodotus. But the tomb stash is the oldest so far that could be thoroughly tested for its properties.
The 18 researchers, most of them based in China, subjected the cannabis to a battery of tests, including carbon dating and genetic analysis. Scientists also tried to germinate 100 of the seeds found in the cache, without success.
The marijuana was found to have a relatively high content of THC, the main active ingredient in cannabis, but the sample was too old to determine a precise percentage.
Researchers also could not determine whether the cannabis was smoked or ingested, as there were no pipes or other clues in the tomb of the shaman, who was about 45 years old.
The large cache was contained in a leather basket and in a wooden bowl, and was likely meant to be used by the shaman in the afterlife.
“This materially is unequivocally cannabis, and no material has previously had this degree of analysis possible,” Russo said in an interview from Missoula, Mont.
“It was common practice in burials to provide materials needed for the afterlife. No hemp or seeds were provided for fabric or food. Rather, cannabis as medicine or for visionary purposes was supplied.”
The tomb also contained bridles, archery equipment and a harp, confirming the man’s high social standing.
Russo is a full-time consultant with GW Pharmaceuticals, which makes Sativex, a cannabis-based medicine approved in Canada for pain linked to multiple sclerosis and cancer.
The company operates a cannabis-testing laboratory at a secret location in southern England to monitor crop quality for producing Sativex, and allowed Russo use of the facility for tests on 11 grams of the tomb cannabis.
Researchers needed about 10 months to cut red tape barring the transfer of the cannabis to England from China, Russo said.
The inter-disciplinary study was published this week by the British-based botany journal, which uses independent reviewers to ensure the accuracy and objectivity of all submitted papers.
The substance has been found in two of the 500 Gushi tombs excavated so far in northwestern China, indicating that cannabis was either restricted for use by a few individuals or was administered as a medicine to others through shamans, Russo said.
“It certainly does indicate that cannabis has been used by man for a variety of purposes for thousands of years.”
Russo, who had a neurology practice for 20 years, has previously published studies examining the history of cannabis.
“I hope we can avoid some of the political liabilities of the issue,” he said, referring to his latest paper.
The region of China where the tomb is located, Xinjiang, is considered an original source of many cannabis strains worldwide.
