With the state of California still handing out fucking IOUs to businesses like they’re playing Monopoly because of their immense debt, one of the new plans could be just what the state needs. A trio of Norml affiliated Northern CA attorneys rallied together to create the Tax, Control, and Regulate Cannabis Act of 2010. The second new and better written initiative was created by Richard Lee, founder and president of Oaksterdam University in Oakland, CA.

The 1st act that was created by the lawyers from North CA is in a nut shell complete state legalization with regulation and taxing, while . Richard’s bill would give individual cities and counties the right to decide if they wanted cannabis to be taxed and regulated. Richard’s plan would also allow citizens to posses up to one ounce of marijuana and grow their own in a 5×5 grow space regardless of the city or counties choices on regulation and taxing. Richard’s bill is more likely to garner more attention and support because of his financial resources, having already allotted 1.5 million dollars towards signature gathering. We support any kind of reform of the countries corrupt and oppressive marijuana laws so tokes for Lee and the lawyers.

His community service could include clearing graveyards, cleaning graffiti, picking up trash, chopping down overgrown trees clearing, leaves and clearing ditches. He should feel like the luckiest kid on earth, but he shouldn’t have to if marijuana were legal….tokes for Jamie for pleading guilty, taking your sentence and growing madd amounts weed….If someone is growing 10 plants it probably isn’t on a small scale

This is fucking sweet to see happening. It seems like it was just yesterday when Arnold the Governator mentioned that maybe we should look into researching the pros and cons of legalization and now one city in CA has imposed this new legislation. Could this be a sign of what is to happen in cities like Los Angeles where there are over 600 dispensaries and collectives? We certainly hope so because we don’t know how much longer companies in CA will continue to take IOUs from the state. There are currently more places where you can obtain legal marijuana in LA than where  you can buy Starbucks and Mcdonalds french fries and if all of them can be taxed a significant amount of revenue would be generated for the state. Maybe then the rest of the country will realize that it is a real way to gather funds for our growing defecit and begin law reform.  Tokes for Oakland and its forward thinking citizens.

Grear, who is currently smoking some trees on suspension from fighting for marijuana use, embraces and isn’t afraid to say that he enjoys cannabis and that’s why we think he is one of the perfect people for the job. He is a well educated public figure and it’s voices like his that we need because just last year in the state where the rally is to be held, cannabis supporters managed to get a question for decriminalization onto the Nov. ballot and it passed!!!! fucking yes marijuana posession has been decriminalized in Mass, but just like Grear, we know that is not enough. Legalization and ending prosecution are the only answers….so just like Toby, get ready for a fight, a fight of perseverance because progress is being made in marijuana law reform everyday. By you, by me, by us….tokes tokes and more fucking tokes, and now for some coughing

Apparently the Iphone really does do everything. Apple has approved a new $2.99 iPhone app, simply named Cannabis. The application was created by the people at ajnag.com (yes, that’s ganja backwards) and the purpose of this amazing app is to help locate legal medical marijuana in states and other places that it can be found. Cannabis, just like other location-based apps takes the known locations of  medical collectives, dispensaries, clinics, doctors, and organizations all from 3 differents sources and aggregates them onto a google map.

The app also helps out those of us who live in areas where cannabis dispensaries and collectives aren’t legal. It will provide the user with the closest legal cannabis organization to encourage reform. The one feture that I find most appealing is the fact that it has most of the coffeeshops in Amsterdam listed and makes it incredibly easy for me next time I venture to the motherland. No longer will I be too stoned to find my way from Rusland to Grey Area. Check out the video to see it in action and use this app wisely. Share with your fellow man or just me…tokes for ajnag.com for creating such a great app

Here’s a quick video from the home of cougar sexpot Katie Couric, whom we’d do CBS news where they speak to a doctor who clearly states that in the motherland Amsterdam where the sale and use of cannabis in coffeeshops and private residences is tolerated the mere fact that it is available has not increased the use among teens and the like….just a quick FU to the naysayers in video form,check it out and toke up

While the sentence for felony marijuana possession under current laws was seemingly reasonable, how in the fuck does a judge have the right to take away someone’s right to campaign for something that they believe in??? The fact that a judge has the right to inflict his personal views upon a person through sentencing should raise a huge flag for intelligent citizens of the US as to where our country is headed if things like this continue to happen.

Delaney also lectured Newland on the lies that have been created through racism about problems of marijuana use, particularly among youths, and told the outspoken advocate for legalizing marijuana for medicinal use that he was “not going to take a position as a public figure who got a light sentence.” This is seriously crazy shit, but the American Civil Liberties Union of South Dakota is currently looking into the sentence. Also if you like I do, feel the need to contact Judge Delany, he can be reached at jack@judgedelaney.com……I hope you enoyed the creepy cruise ship pic beautiful picture of Delany and his badger faced wife. Since Bob Newland can’t currently campaign in the direction of common sense which is legalization, we must do it for him….Tokes for Newland and his upcoming jail time.

No, this isn’t another 16year old pregnant hillbilly girl on Maury Povich staking her claim to her crab baby vessel. This my friends is a video that comes to us from youtube user hosserlegalize420 who created this video that features some very thought provoking and at times, a bit radical statements. Though some statements made are questionable, specifically cannabis curing cancer: yes I know that some studies have been done where tumors where destroyed by cannabinoids, but there isn’t enough research to make such a claim. Overrall most of her thoughts are what we need to be hearing more of because if no one is making it, noise cannot be heard.(minus the comment about “our black president”, it’s a little suspect) Check the video and pass it to a friend.

Finally, a pro-marijuana group other than Norml has embraced TV advertising by releasing a commercial urging California residents to consider taxing and regulating the sale of cannabis. The commericail which was sponsored & created by the Marijuana Policy Project and in the 30 second advert a crazy eyed nice middle aged lady reminds viewers that CA is deep in debt and the millions of marijuana consumers are willing to pay taxes on a substance that is less harmful than alcohol. The commercial is also already being met with opposition and some TV stations in California won’t run the advertisement. I’m definately blowing smoke all around for this commercial and its’ step in the right direction.
