"The Office of National Drug Control Policy has been spending millions of taxpayer dollars on advertisements and printed material declaring that marijuana causes cancer. The truth is just the opposite - marijuana can prevent cancer. Recent research has shown that the cannabinoids found in marijuana can not only halt the spread of cancer but can also kill cancer cells."[via canna zine]

49-year-old Cornelia Turner Mayo was fulfilling her civic duty by taking part in jury duty in Houston, Texas. Cornelia was one of the 20 prospective jurors in a marijuana possession trial. During jury selection, a 45-minute break was called. When the 45 minute break was up, Cornelia was the only one to not return to the courtroom.The judge in the case was about to issue a bench warrant when he received a call that Cornelia was arrested right outside the criminal courthouse. Cornelia was arrested for smoking a joint. All that talk about weed probably gave her a major craving.The judge told The Houston Chronicle, "I've had prospective jurors get lost before, but it never occurred to me that they might be getting ready for a marijuana trial by, allegedly, smoking marijuana."The former juror w

Houston, Texas (ThaLunatic Daily) -- Matthew Gonzales and Kevin Jones have been arrested and charged after digging up a grave, decapitating the head of a corpse and then making a bong out of the removed skull.Gonzales, and Jones, who are both 17 years old have been charged with 'abuse of a corpse' according to a spokesperson for the Harris County District Attorneys Office.According to court documents, Gonzales, Jones and a 16 year old friend entered a cemetery, dug up a man's grave, and then turned the man's skull into a marijuana bong.The three suspects reportedly told authorities about the incident and then led police to the man's defaced grave.ThaLunatic Daily Opinion:Pretty demented.

According to Luke Mullins at his U.S. News & World Report blog The Home Front, those people concerned about nefarious activities taking place at the growing number of foreclosed homes across the country might have a point. In this case, a man with two homes in foreclosure was using them as a growing operation for his marijuana operation -- since he was arrested, one can only guess that he didn't have a prescription from his doctor for medical use of his crop.From a story in the San Bernardino Sun:A bank employee stumbled upon a foreclosed house used to grow marijuana, leading to the seizure of an estimated $4.5 million in drugs in two houses and an arrest Saturday.

Here is a simple, yet, controversial question: If someone has used marijuana - even if used for medical reasons - should this prohibit him or her from being considered to be on a transplant list? Hospitals throughout this great nation struggle with this question every day. Timothy Garon (pictured above) is a patient at the University of Washington Medical Center. He has end stage Hepatitis C and, according to this Associated Press story, may be in his final days without a liver transplant.But Garon's been refused a spot on the transplant list, largely because he has used marijuana, even though it was legally approved for medical reasons.

The Rhode Island legislature is proposing the possibility of opening medical marijuana distribution centers so patients who take the drug for medicinal purposes wouldn't have to buy it off the streets, sometimes in dangerous situations and often at a high street market value. The story was reported Wednesday in the Newport Daily News and be found by clicking here. If the legislation passes, Rhode Island would become the third American state to have "centers" that distribute medical marijuana.

First up let's get one thing sorted out; marijuana addiction has no one shot treatment. There is no pot patch and there is no way to wean yourself off slowly. Treatment for marijuana addictions starts and ends in your own mind not with chemicals, substitutes or cure all pills.Marijuana has no chemical within it like nicotine in cigarettes that give the user a physical painful craving for the substance that draws them back. Pot is a different beast as your cravings come from a psychological desire for the drug, a mental want for a smoke usually in response to a trigger in your life that makes you want to escape from reality and achieve that state of being that marijuana takes you to. This is not only physically unhealthy but is a kind of rot in your soul that drains you of your will to achi

A common misconception about marijuana addiction is that like cigarettes and some hard drugs in that the body develops an addiction to a chemical and if deprived of it brings on serious physical cravings that can near incapacitate some people.

Why am I addicted to a non addictive substance? The answer is psychological.Since your body has no desperate need for pot the addiction this creates is mental or psychological.

In health care there has been a great push towards evidence based medicine to ensure that treatments used are effective and that we don’t waste money on those which are not effective.

John Tierney posts on a challenge to Republican candidates regarding their views on medical marijuana, and backs up his views on the subject with evidence: Some of the Republican presidential candidates have dismissed medical marijuana as unnecessary or “too dangerous.” Now they’re being offered $10,000 to come up with the scientific evidence.

While listening to NPR the other day, they mentioned a strange fact. The rate of ‘home-grown’ marijuana busts by police has increased dramatically during the last couple of years. It was speculated that these home marijuana farmers were getting into the ‘biz’ because of their increasing ARM mortgages, and the need for additional funds to cover it. That got me thinking about an incident that happened in my own neighborhood, literally across the street. A few years ago, one of the major employers in my area started MAJOR layoffs. People that were used to making six-figure incomes were suddenly shown the door. This had a huge ripple effect throughout the area because most of the people let go were IT workers, which drove the supply up (and the demand down). The quiet neighbor across the street was one of these layoffees. To add insult to injury, he soon got divorced, and the wife and kids moved away. he started staying in and wasn’t seen very often.

Cumbee has been accused of delivery, possession and unlawful manufacture of a controlled substance, as well as carrying a concealed weapon.  The 17-year-old boy is now at the Klamath County Juvenile Detention Center.  Cumbee and his son are both from Highwood, Montana.

==========3 Shots Of WhiskeyAn Irish guy goes into a bar in America and asks for three separate shots of Whiskey. He drinks one, waits a little bit, then drinks the second one, waits a little bit more, and then drinks the third one. This goes on for a few days, and finally the bartender tells him: "You know sir, I can put all three shots in one glass for you".The guy replies "No, I prefer it this way. You see, I'm very close to my two brothers. They are both still in Ireland, and this represents a drink for each of us. When I drink like this, I feel like we are drinking together again, all three of us".This goes on for several months, and then one day the guy walks into the pub and asks for only two shots.The bartender is worried that maybe something happened to one of his brothers."Is everythink OK"? he asks."What do you mean", answers the guy."Well, for months you have been asking for three shots. now you order two. Did something happen to one of your brothers?", the bartender asks.

I know medical marijuana is not, nor should it be, the defining issue of the 2008 presidential election.

Miss Macia politely asked John McCain his position on permitting it. Barely were the words out of her mouth before the senator spun on his heels and stalked away.This is another one of those things I find puzzling.There is certainly evidence marijuana has medicinal value. And why wouldn't the old party of states' rights want the federal government to let each state decide for itself whether it wishes to permit disabled and terminally ill patients to use cannabis under a docto

Other conditions imposed on Vick include: being restricted to his Virginia home daily from 10 PM to 6 AM; the home confinement will include electronic monitoring at Vick’s

By Kristen Gelineau, The Associated Press RICHMOND, Va. — A federal judge placed tighter restrictions on Michael Vick on Wednesday after he tested positive for marijuana.

A huge marijuana growing operation has been busted by police in Elk Grove, Sacramento and Galt, which resulted in the arrest of fifteen people.  All of the homes link to Realtor Vivian Hoang, because she apparently sold all of the homes that were involved in the operation.  Here is a video with more information on this strange story.

Putting aside the matter of alcohol’s legality and marijuana’s illegality, there are some fundamental differences between these 2 substances. There is an extensive body of medical research which demonstrates that very moderate use of alcohol by adults who are able to drink (no history of alcoholism, non-pregnant women, and no other medical conditions which preclude [...]

A 71-year-old woman was arrested on marijuana charges after a chest-high marijuana plant was found in her yard, a plant she said was meant to keep animals away from her backyard. A sheriff’s deputy saw the marijuana as he drove past Betty Holt Walker’s home previously this month. (more…)

So here I am sleeping (finally) and enjoying a wonderful dream where everyone is happy and all of a sudden my mother turns into a monkey! That's right. A MONKEY! Now something in my brain tells me it is not normal for a mother (especially mine!) to turn into a monkey so I slowly wake up and come to some sort of consciousness only to discover that the noise is outside our house and YES it sounds exactly like a monkey. You know the "oo oo oo oo oo WAH WAH" sound they make (Picture Cheetah from Tarzan). So not only did it wake me up but it woke Dan as well and he decides to get up and open the shop to let me sleep in.

While most view growing marijuana in the context of illicit drug-trade problems and the effect this substance is having on our kids, there are few who see the real problems this is causing our environment. Sure, there are few ecological issues in a backyard propagation - apart from the dreaded increase in phosphate fertilisers. But the problem escalates when we consider that the bulk of marijuana comes from illegal plantations grown in the most remote forests. For five months of the year growers tend their 'secret gardens' carefully keeping their stash as hidden as possible counting the days until harvest. Alex Breitler, from Recordnet asks this; What will they leave behind? Irrigation tubes that snake for a mile or more over forested ridges. Pesticides that have drained into creeks and entered the food chain, sickening wildlife. Piles of trash and human waste in the most rugged and bucolic drainages. Pro-marijuana lobbyists argue that if the drug were legalised then these pro
