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.

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. 

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.

Genetics: Alleged Government Released Strain | 100% Indica 

These flowers are very tight and compact. I just walked in to a room filled with such an unbelievable aromatic goodness which cannot be described. The smoke leaves the back of your tongue coated with a superb kush aftertaste, with a high that seemingly punches you in the face. This highly sought after strain is available at:

Lavender Master Kush

Lavender Master Kush

The following bud review is from CLOUD Magazine: A wonderful cross of Soma's Lavender and the world famous Master Kush. Unbelievably dense flowers with an amazing fruity kush scent. Room smells ridiculously dank once the smoke hits the air. A wonderful high that starts out subtle and leaves you with full blown couch lock. Be sure to have plenty of water on hand for this journey. No telling where this one will take you. Lavender Master Kush is available throughout Southern California. If you see it, grab it.

Is Green Crack a Positive Strain Name

Is Green Crack a Positive Strain Name for the Pro Marijuana Community?

Quick Answer is Yes, its a fantastically effective brand name. Long answer is:

First, I'd like to thank my facebook friends over at Individual IClick for giving me this topic to think on. The Individuals make an assertion that the strain name, "Green Crack" is bad for the Pro Marijuana movement. 

This could make sense on the surface. Crack is a terrible drug. Crack has ruined countless lives. Crack is crazy addictive. ALMOST gives its abusers no chance of return. But we are supposed to be living in a Free Country. As long as I am not affecting someone's freedom or property, then I should be allowed to kill myself as quickly or slowly as I choose. If I choose to do it quick with Crack or a knife to the wrists, that's my choice. If I choose to do it slow with Twinkies and a sedentary lifestyle, that's my choice.

As far as the Public Relations problem The Individuals have with "Green Crack"; Even though we all now agree that Crack should be legal, it's still a negative, and understandable if someone wouldn't want it associated with their product of choice. But if you have a problem with the effectiveness of the brand, "Green Crack", then you may also have a problem with the effectiveness of using sex in advertising. You remember Green Crack, you can imagine how Green Crack might feel if you hadn't smoked it. I doubt seriously that many people would think that a hit of Green Crack would have the same or even similar effects of real crack. If they did think that, they are most likely not the target audience. So, who gives a shit what they think?    :)
Marijuana is a product. Just like corn, coffee and rice. Why would limiting advertising for your product be a good idea. We should never apologize for wanting to treat marijuana like any other product. We don't need to worry about what the Puritans think about the plant we love the most. We move forward, paying no attention to the Nanny State bullshit they've talked themselves in to believing.

Lots of Football players use marijuana to Medicate - Does this surprise you?

Based on information obtained from NFL team executives, agents, scouts and trainers, just under one-third of the 327 players who attended this year's NFL pre-draft scouting camp, or combine, had some incident involving marijuana turn up in interviews or background checks—which NFL teams collect and share before and during the event. This number represents a 30% increase from the season before. The NFL and its players union declined to comment on these totals. | From WSJ.

With the regular beatings football players take to their bodies, it's no coincidence that so many football players use Marijuana in a medicinal way.
