Anyone who suffers from springtime allergies knows the misery of battling it out with pollen, grasses and ragweed, but there is one other culprit the sneezing and wheezing stoners of the world may have failed to consider: marijuana.

To some 420 could mean alot of things such as: It's a police code. It's the number of active chemicals in marijuana. It's Adolph Hitler's birthday (what would this have to do with pot?). It's "teatime" in Holland. It's the numbers in Bob Dylan's song "Rainy Day Women, #12 & 35" multiplied. It refers to Highway 420 in Ontario, Canada, where weed grew freely in the '60s. It's the number between 419 and 421. But for me 420 means more than that, its a lifestyle, a day where us 420 people (fami...

They legalized it! Jamaica decriminalizes marijuana Yesterday, the government of Jamaica made it legal for residents to carry up to 2 oz of marijuana, and grow up to 5 plants.

In an online article, Dr. Kathy Galbraith, known as "Dr. Kate," writes: "Pot can be safely used durin...

Canadians buying legal marijuana have a much slimmer selection than their American counterparts. That’s because Health Canada-licensed producers are allowed to sell only dried cannabis through the mail to registered patients and must stay away from “edibles” or other forms of the drug that are regulated south of the border. However, like medicinal and recreational pot sold in Washington State, Canada’s 17 licensed producers offer dozens of strains of dried leaves that help patients treat a rang...

WHO GREW YOUR MEDICINE? You won’t believe where Canada’s legal marijuana supply is really coming from! Last week, both Tweed and Mettrum had loads of marijuana seized from the same Kelowna airport. Media reports described Tweed’s shipment as 55 varieties of “plants, seeds and in-production plant materials” from multiple growers across BC. Licensed Producers are desperate for product, since Health Canada has been so slow in processing their applications that most of them haven’t had time to gr...

Medical authorities support legalizing marijuana Smoke it, toke it, vape it, eat it – marijuana, it seems, is going mainstream. This is what Marc Emery had to say: Marc Emery, the self-styled “Prince of Pot” who returned to Canada in August after more than four years serving a U.S. prison sentence for selling cannabis seeds to Americans, says the city he calls home offers a good model for the rest of the country. “Vancouver right now is closest to how legalization would look in many ways tha...

he developer of a special strain of marijuana marketed to children hopes to convince Health Canadato allow the product in the country, as some Canadian families head south of the border to receive the drug that's been shown to significantly reduce seizures.

“What has the War on Drugs done in the world?” This is a big issue because it’s good people losing their jobs, their homes, even their children. It’s not because they hurt anyone but because they chose to use one drug (marijuana) instead of another (oxy, etc.). It’s clear that war on drugs has not been successful. Not only has it failed but its been counterproductive in that it has generated a criminal culture much like alcohol prohibition did in 1930s. Dr. Sanja Gupta, the chief medical co...

When the change was announced in June, Health Canada said the number of people authorized to use marijuana for medical reasons ...
