What Is Your Stoner Soundtrack
No matter what the law is every generation has had its stoner music. In the 30′s and 40′s it was Jazz (Minnie the Moocher is an awesome song), during the 50′s Beatniks arrived and Rock & Roll started to evolve (thank you Little Richard). If you remember the 60’s than you weren’t there (so I’m told) but they had folk to psychedelic rock. The 70’s weren’t forgotten they gave us [...]
As they say, it’s hump day! Here’s some stories I found on the web today: Yesterday I wrote on how the University of Arkansas changed their marijuana possession punishments.

We all know the “gateway theory” is complete bull, but University of New Hampshire conducted a formal [...]

The final dispensary locations [...]
It was a bit rainy here in Oregon today, but hey welcome to the Northwest! I hope everyone had a great Monday, here are your Stoner Friendly Links: The University of Arkansas lowered the punishment for marijuana possession to the same level of a misdemeanor alcohol offense.

Montana is getting closer to reforming their medical marijuana regulations. The Children, Families, Health and Human Services Interim Committee voted 7-1 Tuesday to have a bill drafted and prepared for introduction before the 2011 Legislature convenes in January. All this is in response to the unexpected growth of medical marijuana users and businesses. A year ago, the state had fewer than 4,000 marijuana patients. Now, almost 23,000 people have a [...]

Once upon a time there were over 1,000 medical marijuana dispensaries in the City of Los Angeles. ‘There are more MMJ dispensaries than Starbucks in LA’ was what people were always saying. It was a beautiful thing – capitalism meets cannabis. Medical patients had an enormous variety to choose from, which drove up competition, which in turn kept prices fairly reasonable. Oh my, how times have changed. The City of [...]
I wish I could write this article with just counter one-liners like “Marijuana is not a gateway drug. Legalizing marijuana will not increase use amongst children just bad parenting” the list goes on but it’s just as bad as saying “I’m rubber your glue”. So let’s get logical.

Illinois House and Senate bills filed in 2009 — titled the Compassionate Use of Medical Cannabis Pilot Program Act — both call for a three-year legalization of marijuana for patients who obtain a doctor’s approval and suffer from one of a list of conditions or illnesses. The Illinois Senate bill passed 30-28 last year. [...]
