They have collected 36,765 signatures to date. They are also seeking donations for the cause. It might be a rough road. If you care be aware.

Let Freedom Ring!
Let Freedom Ring!
Several states including New York are engaged in a heated debate over amending state laws to allow for distribution of marijuana for medicinal purposes. Californians and Nevadans have pressed for outright decriminalization, regulation and even have some government officials singing the to the tune of the potential revenues such actions could legitimately create. The movement is gathering momentum. If we can get enough people to the polls to vote yes for marijuana in California and Nevada together we can achieve something that has been waiting for 80 years, something that the free love generation never could, something that might signal a shift in the entire American mindset. Let freedom ring. Get active and get to the polls this November.
Thanks to a great suggestion by one of our favorite Facebook fans...In our drive to help the cause and promote medicinal marijuana we enjoy providing references to excellent sources of information for our growing audience. We invite our northern California residents to check out the Sacrament Cannabis Clubs web forum.
...Wow that really was "in depth". I think i might check myself in today. OOPS no insurance! guess i will have to just use the old fashioned cure of 3 straight days of b vitamins, chalky detox beverages, exercise and water and save myself about $10,000... but then what will i do about the debilitating anxiety and panic attacks that i have been using it to treat with great positive effects for 10 years... oh well, Marijuana addiction must be treated like the disease it is! Painful panic episodes are just my "continuous excuse" for the "frequent supply of chemicals" I need to get around my "bodies defense mechanisms". I have clearly felt the social consequences of the use of a medicinal herb in moderation due to the ignorant ad hominem slander of a dumbfounded populace and the immoral laws that dictate what is allowed to be true even if utterly false. these are all just symptoms of the "vicious cycle of marijuana addiction". I should call today and receive my FREE CONSULTATION!! Or maybe i will just take up heroin, to help me get off the crack that i took because of the gateway that marijuana created, i mean why not when these illicit substances are only "perceived as harder", the wording obviously implies that marijuana is just as bad or possibly worse. Spencer Recovery Centers must be right because its a legitimate business with 10 years of profits to show for it and an entire team of doctors to give it credibility. I am just one of millions of lowly fools with a terrible disease.
Upon examination of the mummified corpse of Ramses II there was a brief shutter that shot through the room of scientists. It seemed for a moment that the Pharaoh might have died from Acute Endemial Dandruff. It was logical. This was long before there was medicinal Head & Shoulders. Then upon closer inspection it was found to be cannabis pollen. In fact, it was everywhere in the tomb. A simple explanation for this might be the copious fields of homegrown that where everywhere in ancient Egypt. An ancient text, the Ebers Papyrus, scribbled out around 1500 BC, describes cannabis as a "liberator of sin...if taken over a long term, it makes one communicate with spirits and lightens one's body." This pollen was found in highly intoxicating quantities in ancient honey from the period. Perhaps the Pharaohs enjoyed their Marijuana on their Sunday morning scones like the early Mormon Pioneers.

Tangible evidence that Medicinal Marijuana was in use in the middle east over 1600 years ago was discovered in 1993 when Israeli scientist scraped some residue from the skeletal remains of an ancient 14 yr old girl who had died in childbirth. It seems her nurses gave her this ancient remedy to aid with the contractions as well as mitigate the pain. The finger pointers (i am sure) have already extended their digits to accuse the herb of possibly contributing to the death of the underage labor laden maiden, or at least suggest that is was a antiquated idiots attempt at medicine. Clearly the patient is dead. Well, the truth in the matter is the poor girl died from Narrow Tunnel Syndrome (or NTS) the primary symptom being a pelvis too small to deliver a child naturally. So perhaps it might be more appropriate to point the finger at the Republicans of Antiquity for refusing to allow the distribution of sheep's intestine at the local Bedouin high school or the philandering ways of that one rich kid who drove a really cool camel with racing stripes and 3 humps. My point is that way back in the days before hormone laced Vitamin D milk a 14 yr female often didn't yet have those child baring hips and c-sections in the middle of the desert more often then not go awry.
Now a confession: The National Police Headquarters in Israel and the Israel Antiquities Authority forensic division confessed knowledge of marijuana as a medicine in use prior to 1,600 B.C. in Egyptian, Assyrian, Greek and Roman records to include the medicinal journals of the day.
My confession: there is no such thing as Narrow Tunnel Syndrome (or NTS). I took my journalistic liberties to MAKE IT UP!! So, please don't try to Google it. Here is to Freedom of Speech and the integrity of journalism.
...at least I confess my BS.

When i was a lad i was told marijuana was not addictive. I was told that no one developed a tolerance to its use over time. I was told, however, that it was a gateway drug. I have never expanded my self medicating adventures any further then a little bit of legal brew. I have come to recognize that if i take a short break the next sweet puff will seem significantly more potent. it seems that they fibbed on 2 of 3 accounts. The good people at Spencer Recovery Centers seem to feel that if there is a dollar to be earned there is an addiction to be had.
this article was so chalk full of good unbiased, not even slightly exaggerated claims about the dreaded dangers of addiction i decided to put the entire article right here...
700,000 signatures have assured Nevada will have an initiative to legalize Marijuana on the ballot in November. If it passes all persons over 21 can possess up to an ounce and Nevadans can grow vivacious gardens of Rastafarian delight measuring up to 25 square feet.
Nevada has recently amended its laws concerning the medicinal use of marijuana. In order to receive these benefits you must apply with the Nevada Department of Health and Human Services, Nevada State Health Division. Be prepared for a $50 application fee. For more information link here
New Kinds of Marijuana Crimes.
Are you thinking of opening a medical marijuana dispensary? Perhaps you should reconsider.
It is true that these depots of legal distribution can be cash cows (like any pharmacy) but there is a growing trend towards dispensary break ins. Criminals have discovered how easy it can be to pull a $40,000+ job in under 3 minutes. There are so many poorly secured dispensaries popping up all over California that they have become an easy target for thieves. Even well secured locations often find that the break-ins are deterred to late. A forced entry can cause thousands of dollars in damage even if the cash and the crop is left behind.

California, the well spring of the medicinal marijuana movement is trying to take things a step further.
"This is a watershed moment in the decades-long struggle to end marijuana prohibition in this country," said Stephen Gutwillig, California director of the Drug Policy Alliance, which has spearheaded the ballot initiative.
Certain polls suggest 56% of the California vote would favor such an action. the legalization might represent more than just an opportunity to score some good buds freely at the local convenience store. The regulation and taxation of the drug could represent a tangible boost to the lagging California economy... read more
Recovering from War - Medical Marijuana and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
Esquire journalist, confessed marijuana user and war veteran Colby Buzzel details his struggle with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. In his article he confesses the condition of soldiers returning home, the difficulties of finding treatment for the mental ailments that never allow them to completely reintegrate with society, and his personal experience with Medical Marijuana.
With the continuing expansion of the movement to legalize weed legal marijuana is now showing up at school. Many support medicinal marijuana but the controversy stemming from this trend is off-putting. The center of the controversy lies not in those kids with extreme anxiety or mild autism that can benefit from the proper medicinal use of the herbal remedy but those students who have by such means found a way to mitigate culpability for the distribution of the drug for recreational purposes. the Christian Right argues that Medical Marijuana simply provides another way for kids to get their hands on a dangerous substance comparing it to Ritalin or Oxycontin, two highly addictive prescription drugs that have found their way to a massive youth market. On the other side of the issue are those few and wise that will confess that their druthers would have their children smoking a little pot verses the latter options any day. Anyone who compares marijuana to the dangers of drugs like Ritalin or Oxycontin needs little "reason" to promulgate fear and controversy. More here.
Canada's Illegal Marijuana Industry is Big Business.

Medical Marijuana Dispensaries Montana | Montana Law Enforcers Don't like Legal Marijuana? That's a huge surprise right? This article from a local newspaper in Montana, speaks about local law enforcement finding it difficult to distinguish legal marijuana users and illegal marijuana users.
If Montana's law enforcers were capable of progressive thought, they might realize that neither the legal or the illegal users cause much trouble. (SPICE Simulator) No more trouble than most peaceful demographics. Prescribing marijuana is a loophole, not for everyone, some card carrying marijuana users legitimately benefit from the weed. But I would guess that for the most part, most Americans who have prescriptions for marijuana use, don't actually need it. It's a ridiculous loophole, but a necessary step in the fight against the immoral laws against the use of marijuana and all other "drugs". The loopholes remind me of the old and backward drinking laws of Utah. I heard that has been fixed somewhat though since he Olympics.
I don't want to rant here, and everyone has their own personal story, but American doctors were giving my Grandmother Fen Phen, a weight loss drug - which was perfectly legal. That drug had her passing out on staircases... Ive never passed out on a staircase from smoking marijuana.... Well maybe I have, but in a nice sleepy way, not a drop to your knees and fall down the rest of the staircase kind of way.
