Urgent Call to Legalize Cannabis in Washington State

The pressure to legalize cannabis and change the political landscape across the nation has fallen squarely on us here in Washington State in 2011. With that pressure, we refuse to accept failure and are inclined to do what is necessary in order to ensure that the devastating effects of prohibition are put to an end. In our second year as an entirely volunteer-driven, non-profit and indisputably grassroots campaign, we have entered a phase in which we need funding to make our way through the corporate-driven maze that our initiative process has become. With proper funding, we can assure we make the ballot this November, where all polls have shown the sensible voters of Washington State will vote to put an end to prohibition – a failed policy that among being a civil rights disaster has resulted in us putting the state’s largest cash crop underground, refusing to legitimize an industry that would generate thousands of jobs and billions of dollars throughout the state and the nation.

This week, we’re putting out an urgent call to all organizations and individuals who believe in this cause; that cannabis should be a legal substance. It’s both a medicine and a safe recreational choice that, despite years of propaganda, has no lethal dose. For those who understand the necessity of legalization, we call upon you to donate whatever you can to get Initiative 1149 – which ends criminal and civil penalties for adults – on the November ballot. We have a strong, dedicated and extremely proud group of volunteers that have put us in a position to win, but with your help we can augment our gatherers with paid professionals, assuring cannabis legalization in Washington has a better chance of becoming reality. Initiative 1149 offers up an opportunity unlike any other we’ve seen in recent years, a chance for true reform, and this is our chance to make a difference. However we need the help of everyone. The importance of achieving legalization in even one state and what that means for future attempts cannot be overstated.

With this call, we are holding a Sensible Washington Money Bomb starting on Wednesday June 8th and running through Wednesday, June 15th, with the help and sponsorship of National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML), Cannabis Culture, Seattle Hempfest, Tacoma Hempfest, Toke of the Town, TheJointBlog.com and the Cannabis Freedom March. We can’t afford to wait another year and let this issue remain dormant as the federal government continues to wage war on non-violent citizens. We must take action. We strongly appreciate anything and everything you can do to help, and you can donate to us directly on our website.

This is the year that real reform can happen, but only if that reform is given a chance to work. Please help our cause. A win in Washington State is a win for anyone who believes in a future where cannabis prohibition is nothing but a distant memory.

Thank you,
Sensible Washington

Japanese Sun Goddess Loves Weed

Amaterasu Omikami, The Great Shinto Sun Goddess, was the first offspring of Two Deities that descended from Heaven to create the Islands of Japan. 

At Amaterasu Omikami's shrine, a special prayer is given for the founding Goddess of Japan called “taima”, which literally means “cannabis,” and these ceremonies are still conducted five times a year. - Read the Whole Article @ 420 Magazine.

US Government Proves that Marijuana Prevents Cancer... on Accident

BreakTheMatrix.Com had a great article Titled, "Top 10 Cannabis Studies the Government Wished it had Never funded"... It was a killer article. I don't now if they put it together or got it from somewhere else, but its a good one. I am re-posting 4 of the Top 10...

5) OOPS, MARIJUANA MAY PREVENT CANCER (PART I): Federal researchers implanted several types of cancer, including leukemia and lung cancers, in mice, then treated them with cannabinoids (unique, active components found in marijuana). THC and other cannabinoids shrank tumors and increased the mice’s lifespans. Munson, AE et al. Antineoplastic Activity of Cannabinoids. Journal of the National Cancer Institute. Sept. 1975. p. 597-602.

4) OOPS, MARIJUANA MAY PREVENT CANCER, (PART II): In a 1994 study the government tried to suppress, federal researchers gave mice and rats massive doses of THC, looking for cancers or other signs of toxicity. The rodents given THC lived longer and had fewer cancers, “in a dose-dependent manner” (i.e. the more THC they got, the fewer tumors). NTP Technical Report On The Toxicology And Carcinogenesis Studies Of 1-Trans- Delta-9-Tetrahydrocannabinol, CAS No. 1972-08-3, In F344/N Rats And B6C3F Mice, Gavage Studies. See also, “Medical Marijuana: Unpublished Federal Study Found THC-Treated Rats Lived Longer, Had Less Cancer,” AIDS Treatment News no. 263, Jan. 17, 1997.

3) OOPS, MARIJUANA MAY PREVENT CANCER (PART III): Researchers at the Kaiser-Permanente HMO, funded by NIDA, followed 65,000 patients for nearly a decade, comparing cancer rates among non-smokers, tobacco smokers, and marijuana smokers. Tobacco smokers had massively higher rates of lung cancer and other cancers. Marijuana smokers who didn’t also use tobacco had no increase in risk of tobacco-related cancers or of cancer risk overall. In fact their rates of lung and most other cancers were slightly lower than non-smokers, though the difference did not reach statistical significance. Sidney, S. et al. Marijuana Use and Cancer Incidence (California, United States). Cancer Causes and Control. Vol. 8. Sept. 1997, p. 722-728.

2) OOPS, MARIJUANA MAY PREVENT CANCER (PART IV): Donald Tashkin, a UCLA researcher whose work is funded by NIDA, did a case-control study comparing 1,200 patients with lung, head and neck cancers to a matched group with no cancer. Even the heaviest marijuana smokers had no increased risk of cancer, and had somewhat lower cancer risk than non-smokers (tobacco smokers had a 20-fold increased lung cancer risk). Tashkin D. Marijuana Use and Lung Cancer: Results of a Case-Control Study. American Thoracic Society International Conference. May 23, 2006.

Barack Obama thinks he can decrease the demand for Marijuana

Aggregated From High Times Magazine - May 2011 - Page 15

Barack Obama thinks decreasing the demand for illegal drugs is the answer. Even if he could magically decrease the demand for overwhelmingly popular products that have been in demand longer than almost everything, should he? It's an immoral way of looking at life, Obama thinks he knows yourself better than you do. How the fuck would he know what drugs or medicine we need. Anyway, the following is from High Times:   

THAT WASN'T THE QUESTION!

In late January, President Obama sat down for his second Q-and-A session wigth YouTube. Thousands of questions were submitted and, like last year, the most popular topic was the legalization of marijuana. In fact, at one point prior to the online interview, the top 50 questions were pot-related.

Now last year, Obama was shockingly dismissive about cannabis, chortling about the top question, and remarking that "this must say something about our interview audience." He went on to say he doesn't see marijuana as a means to reviving our economy.

This year's program was hardly different. The issue of marijuana wasn't addressed until two-thirds through the 39 minute interview. When the question was raised, Obama was questioned about the legalization of all drugs; marijuana specifically, never came up.

Obama said it was an "entirely legitimate" issue for debate, but that he didn't support legalization, that drugs were actually a "public health issue, and that the goal was to decrease demand". He also blathered on about "shifting resources" and "being strategic".

The only strategy we saw, was the President avoiding the marijuana question once again.

- Note from MMJ USA: There is nothing Progressive about how the President approaches this issue. He obviously has no intent of righting this wrong. He has no intention of telling the DEA to stay the fuck out of our peaceful neighborhoods and lives. He has no intention of squashing the border war, he has no intentions of letting Americans grow and sell American grown marijuana, Obama has no intention of keeping otherwise law abiding youths out of prison... etc, etc..

So, in the nicest way possible, fuck Obama!... He isn't progressive for shit. Ive seen more progressive thought come out of my Fox News watching Brother. I will be voting for someone else this time. In my opinion, all Progressive thinking individuals should do the same. There isn't anything progressive about Obama's actions... A few of his words are Progressive, but his actions are speaking much louder.

Oldest Marijuana Stash Ever Discovered

The oldest marijuana stash in the world was discovered in a Chinese tomb. 2 Pounds of dried marijuana was found packed in to a large bowl. 

When discovered, the bowl was still carefully placed next to the body of a 45 year old, blue eyed Shaman. A Blue Eyed Shaman in the Gobi Desert who died 2,700 years ago had his bowl of weed and a few other objects, like a harp, ready to use in the afterlife... I too would like to make sure I have some weed when I first get to heaven. After awhile you'll meetup with old or new friends who will have their own hooks and what not, but I'd like to have a big ass, 2 pound bowl of cannabis waiting for me after passing. I need to smoke after a plane trip, I'll definitely need a smoke after I die.

At first the researchers thought the bowl of herb was Coriander. But the herb tested true for THC and the Blue Eyed, 2,700 year old Shaman was looking pretty cool, even though he was dead as fuck.

It took 10 months to get the discovery to London where they could properly analyze the pot... oh yeah, and all the other stuff too... Carbon Dating and Genetic Tests were performed and documented. The 2 pound bowl of marijuana was all bud, no stem, not much anyway, all psychoactive is the point. This is pointed out for anyone who would like to say he was probably only using the marijuana to make clothes and shit. 

Connecticut Governor Says Its Time to Legalize Marijuana

Connecticut Governor Says Its Time to Legalize IT

Last week, Connecticut governor Dannel Malloy said, “Let’s accept reality”. The Governor wants to do what the good Governator just did for Californians, that is change possession of anything less than an ounce of weed to an infraction, instead of a crime.... or decriminalization. The Governor believes that the existing laws are somewhat racist, with major flaws in enforcing the immoral laws.

The public hearing on Legalizing Marijuana in Connecticut will be held tomorrow (Monday, March 14, 2011). Good luck to our friends in Connecticut.

Measure M Passes in Los Angeles

Measure M passes in Los Angeles | Collectives/Dispensaries Angry - Why? Because they're out $50 for every $1000 they "raise" - Who will pay for this in the end? Collectives and Dispensaries?? Nope, the answer is You, Medical Marijuana Patients of Los Angeles.

Los Angeles, California - Local Lawmakers had been doing their level best to make life more difficult for their fellow Angelinos by trying to axe 439 MMJ Dispensaries/Collectives from the Los Angeles area. After multiple powerful lawsuits from MMJ advocacy groups, lawmakers have backed down and settled on taxing the Medical Marijuana Collectives/Dispensaries. We're guessing this is probably what they had in mind in the first place. Demand everything and settle for lots of cash in the end.

On Tuesday, (03/08/2011), the city voted to approve Measure M, which allows the city to collect $50 out of every $1000 the Dispensaries/Collectives "raise" from selling Medical Marijuana. Los Angeles area Collectives/Dispensaries already lobby and actively support keeping marijuana halfway illegal and 80% more expensive than it should be. Then the local Los Angeles Government gets involved and messes with the Collectives/Dispensaries profits.. It's a pretty big pile of money for the city... but again, the consumer will be the one that eventually gets punched in the stomach. This Measure will force many Los Angeles taxpayers to pay more for their medicine while their pay and opportunity are still decreasing.

Buying Marijuana Supports Terrorism

Buying Marijuana Supports Terrorism

Many ignorant rumors spread like fire after 9/11, but the following will have stuck with you if you are a pro marijuana advocate/user:

• "Anyone who buys or sells marijuana or other illegal drugs are actively supporting worldwide terrorism."

The boneheaded or possibly insidious rationale was that terrorists sell drugs to fund their dirty deeds. Why is that faulty logic?

• The act of driving an in-demand product, like marijuana, in to the black market is the actual reason terrorists are able to sell it to make money. If the drugs weren't illegal, the terrorists wouldn't be able to sell drugs to fund their operations. American Businessmen instead would be making the money from selling an American grown product. And finally, the American People would receive a "new" taxable resource, from an already incredibly popular product.

If Corn was made illegal today, the Terrorists would be making money from "moving" corn on the black market tomorrow. 

Airtight Weed Jar with compartments

You Put Your Weed In It

Enjoy Jars were kind enough to send us a couple samples of their jars. The jars are cool and unique, in that they can hold up to 4 different kinds of marijuana in one canister, without having to mix your bud. The container is Made in the USA, Orange County more specifically. Like the marijuana you buy, it's always good to buy USA. Plus, if you're a Los Angeles Laker fan, Enjoy Jar's logo will bring you a Buddha/Phil Jackson type of peace.

The Enjoy Jars are entirely odor-proof, water resistant and airtight. Its compact, it can slide in to bags and backpacks or cargo shorts side pockets... or under your hat, if you're a cowboy or cowgirl. The Enjoy Jar comes with a mini-nug container and a drawstring bag, making it nice for travel and hiking and shit and shit. If you are a strain connoisseur and meticulous about how you store your weed, you should try out the Enjoy Jar.

Mexican Drug Lord Thanks America For Keeping Drugs Illegal

The following is aggregated from 420 Magazine:

Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman Loera reported head of the Sinaloa cartel in Mexico, ranked 701st on Forbes’ yearly report of the wealthiest men alive, and worth an estimated $1 billion, today officially thanked United States politicians for making sure that drugs remain illegal. According to one of his closest confidants, he said, “I couldn’t have gotten so stinking rich without George Bush, George Bush Jr., Ronald Reagan, even El Presidente Obama, none of them have the cajones to stand up to all the big money that wants to keep this stuff illegal. From the bottom of my heart, I want to say, Gracias amigos, I owe my whole empire to you.” - Read Whole Story on 420Magazine.Com

Miley Cyrus celebrated her 18th birthday with hits off a bong and TMZ posted the video of the now legal songstress sucking back massive salvia hits in her LA home. The psychedelic herb is still legal in California, but just the same, the media's panties are all in a bunch over the leaked video. If Cyrus wishes to stay America's innocent darling she should limit her parties to getting shit-faced, fall-down drunk on alcohol. That behavior is accepted.

Willie Nelson was busted for possession of Marijuana. What would actually be surprising is if the police boarded Willie's tour bus and found him dry. At the time of his arrest the find weighed-in at 6 ounces but later the weight was magically trimmed down to 4 ounces. What this boils down to is the offence goes from being a felony to being a misdemeanor. We guess it's the perks of being a celebrity. (Note from MMJ USA - Willie Nelson, not just any celebrity. Willie is Badass extraordinaire)

AC/DC's drummer, Phil Rudd was convicted in New Zealand, of possessing 25 grams of marijuana. The police found the drugs as they searched his boat. Rudd admitted the stash was for his personal use and his lawyer is working on getting the charges dismissed so the incident doesn't interfere with the legendary bands tour.

Marijuana Cures Acne

Ganja Girl Charli - http://cloudmagazine.tv

From High Times Magazine - April 2011 - Page 15

POT AND THE PERFECT COMPLEXION

Acne, the scourge of many a high school class picture, may have a new enemy -- cannabis. Acne results from the overproduction of a lipid (oily substance) from sebaceous glands that waterproof the skin. The cells that make up these glands are sebocytes. The sebaceous glands, like many parts of the human body, also have endocannabinoid receptors. Endocannabinoids are substances (including lipids) from within the body that activate cannabinoid receptors; receptors are protein molecules that trigger a reaction/change within cells. This means that certain cannabis compounds can manipulate sebocytes to prevent pimples and zap zits.

As reported by the medical cannabis journal O'Shaughnessy's, Hungarian scientist Tamas Biro has done extensive research into the subject. By applying endocannabinoids to the sebocytes, he observed CB2 receptors increasing lipid production. (CB2 receptors are cannabinoid receptors with medicinal value, they don't get you high). Conversely, blocking the endocannabinoids with an agonist drug cuts off the oil well. (Agonists are the chemicals that bind to receptors in order to change cells).

Dr. Biro has experimented with CBD (cannabidiol, a pot compound that doesn't get you high), which is legal in Hungary as opposed to the outlawed psychoactive THC. While CBD prevents lipid creation it doesn't compromise the viability of cells, as opposed to mainstream medications that kill the sebocytes. Biro also intends to conduct a  study into the anti-acne properties that THC may have.

Theres Too Much Money in it - Hillary For Prohibition

"There's too much money in it." - That's what Hillary Clinton said about legalizing marijuana in order to crush the black market. Here's the full quote:

"There is just too much money in it," Clinton said. "You can legalize small amounts for possession, but those who are making so much money selling, they have to be stopped. They can’t be given an even easier road to take, because they will then find it in their interest to addict even more young people."

That's some ignorant-ass, anti-business bullshit. Those who are making so much money have to be stopped?! On what planet does that ring true? And did Hillary use the "What about the children" argument? This is your chance Republicans. Use the House you won to pass some budget cuts that include a beheading of the DEA.  That would cut out billions of dollars. Billions of dollars every year we Americans pay to harass ourselves and our neighbors. Do that and people like us might look past the fact that you have clowns like Sarah Palin and Glen Beck on your side.

Reefer Raciscm

Reefer Racism

The following is from the March 2011 issue of High Times, Pg.18

California may lead the nation in medical-marijuana culture, but simple possession arrests in the state are still escalating, and minorities continue to be busted for pot at a disproportionately higher rate than white people, according to a joint report issued in October 2010 by the NAACP and the Drug Policy Alliance entitled Arresting Blacks for Marijuana in California: Possession Arrests in 25 cities, 2006-08.

Despite the title, the study also includes pot arrests for Latinos. It found that in some parts of the state, minorities were arrested for weed up to 12 times more frequently than whites. As for California's two largest cities, blacks were arrested for pot possession at almost six times the rate of whites in San Diego, and at seven times the rate of whites in Los Angeles. Moreover, these racially unbalanced arrests occurred in every county and almost every police department in California. However, according to US Department of Health and Human Services stats for 2004 to 2007, whites of all ages report using marijuana more than either Latinos or African-Americans.

The study avoids accusing individual police officers of racism, but it does suggest an institutionalized racial bias in law enforcement.

Stephen Gutwillig of the Drug Policy Alliance clarifies: "[Officers] are assigned to certain neighborhoods, designated as 'high crime,' that are home to Blacks and Latinos. It's a self-perpetuating system in which cops primarily stop and search large numbers of young people in black and latino neighborhoods, find small amounts of marijuana, easily meet their arresst and citation quotas, and therefore justify continuing these practices."

The study indicates that over the last 20 years, 850,000 arrests for possession of less than an ounce were made in California; half a million of those took place in the last 10 years. Ironically, every category of actual serious crime has been declining in California since 1990.

Vortex Water pipes

Vortex Water pipes is an innovated smoking technology company in Los Angeles who makes futuristic smoking products. While simple in design, the Gravity Vortex was clean and exciting to smoke with friends.  Gravity Vortex went on to win the Gold Medal at the 2006 High Times Cannabis Cup in Amsterdam for their gravity bong inspired smoking device.  Hailed as one of the best new smoking products by High Times Magazine, Vortex quickly gained success and notoriety for its similar effect as a vaporizer.  With appearances on Showtime's television show WEEDS, the Gravity Vortex was solidified as one of the world's most smooth and powerful ways to smoke. Having won the respect of many in the glass industry, the company set about creating strong ties with tobacco retailers, headshops and distributors worldwide.  Manufactured entirely in the United States, we take great pride in the jobs we create that benefit California.
