Ok so over the last couple of years we have been lied to blessed with these anti-weed “Above the Influence” commercials where they usually state how if you smoke pot you will do stupid, reckless, and deadly things. When I watch a commercial I usually just smirk and change the channel but this latest commercial I saw made me fall on the floor with laughter. The commercial ablove titled “Shoulders” explains that if you smoke weed you’re close to the devil, stupid, a hillbilly, and will make your parents cry. They also say smoking weed will ruin your future, not get you into a good school, and you won’t have any friends. Oh I forgot Michael Phelps,Seth Rogen, Lil Wayne, Barack Obama, Barbra Streisand, & Willie Nelson never smoked weed…… wait they did and “inhaled” and turned out to be great leaders in their respective fields one being our nation’s leader. Herb enthusiasts have been used to this kind of propaganda for years but this one combines a little from every other commercial before it. What the creators of this commercial don’t know is that people now are smarter than the people of the past and we have access to the internet where we can seek and find the truth. Thanks for the humor Above the Influence members but we’re onto your agenda. Have a toke and learn something useful.

All this week on Anderson Cooper 360 he’ll be covering many aspects of marijuana, both medicinal and recreational, in a series of special segments titled “America’s High: The Case for and Against Pot.” In one of the segments Anderson will interview different people involved in the the medical marijuana world such as the owner of “The Farmacy”, which is one of the most well known dispensaries in Southern California, offering medicinal marijuana and and edibles for patients. In part of Mondays’ segment for the series, Anderson spoke with recording artist Melissa Etheridge about her battle with cancer and how medicinal marijuana helped her get through the debilitating side effects of her chemo, without having to resort to chemical laden pain prescriptions that are highly addictive and themselves carry a great deal of side effects.

I’m pretty fuckin pumped that people are finally beginning to give our cause some mainstream attention because every bit of awareness and truth that we can spread counts. Though im not in the slightest a fan of Ellen Degeneres Melissa Etheridge’s music I can completely respect her courage and effort that it takes to be a public and vocal supporter of marijuana. I’d like to send a big toke and exhale to Etheridge and her baby mama…yaw yaw

Still in it’s very early stages, Pres. Obama has announced that he’s creating an ocean protection plan that will comprehensively provide national policy for protecting our priceless seas, coastal , areas and our great lakes.

Its about time that someone besides Al Gore cares about our earth cause he has a bit too many chins for me, it was beginning to get hard to look at him…and they’re all cascading chins…none are right on top of the next one….ok ok  i’ll stop talking about Al Gore, I like the things he does and has done for our country, but he still looks funny…

With all the things currently on his plate I think its refreshing to know that Obama is up for the challenge of helping our ever deteriorating environment. He has issued a presidential memorandum calling for the formation of a strategy to protect the ocean and the creation of a task force that will be given 90 days to propose policy that will inevitably maintain our oceanic ecosystems  and a structural framework for coordinated implementation of the system. I don’t know how to swim myself persea, well i can do a doggy paddle that could probably rival that of michael phelps’ , but only because its the only thing I know how to do when in a body of water apart from urinate..j/k i dont piss in public bodies of water, only close friends pools. glad hes saving the oceans and great lakes though…now for our econonmy and every rising defecit???
