Jack Herer said to me in 2003, “Medical marijuana is the worst thing to happen to pot.” I blinked, and then said “What about the studies of pot fighting cancer?” “It's the plant, the whole plant. Cannabis, not marijuana, that's what is important.” I just finished watching some jackboot local cops in Las Vegas bust in a clinic with a battering ram, full swat outfitted, assault weapons drawn, flashlights on, like they were in Iraq or some other Muslim state. They weren't police, they were soldie...

Have many of you patients stopped to wonder about Easter falling on 4/20 this year along with the first of four blood moons? There are many signs being put in stories about these eclipses all falling on Jewish holidays, even the lone solar eclipse sandwiched in the middle of the four Luna ones. Needless to say, some Christians are sounding the warning bell to which others are scoffing. Those readers here who have read the serialized 420Nurses Chapter 20 blog segments, please lend me an ear. We ...

Saturday people across the nation will stand up to being slowly poisoned for profit by Big Business, Big Government, Big Ag, and Big Pharma by taking it to the streets. These people will be made up of moms, students, foodies, activists, school teachers, scientists, kids, citizen journalists like myself, and other interested parties. Unlike in other parts of the world, things are more peaceful when the audiences are sheep and wolves rather than goats. Even the 420Nurses who promote the future m...

STARTING A NEWS CORPS The NEWS.420Nurses.com is a new venture startup for the reasons outlined in Part 2. Though beginning small with only a few member Nurses, those who have initiated an interest in writing to ChaCha, the hope and goal of this branch is to become a corps, a news corps. With that goal in mind, it is important to have a moral center toward the news, the subjects of the news, and your fellow 420Nurses News sisters. Honesty, compassion, accuracy, and fellowship are our corps val...

Good Morning 420Nurses and gentleman fans, let me first thank everyone who read the Chapter 20 blog segments of Memoirs of Mr. Pete & Mary Jane Green. As you can see there are elements of cannabis that deal with more than just pain or pleasure. As you thoughtfully digest the info presented in the blogs here, mine included, I also wanted to share some health knowledge that effects more than your body. More and more 420Nurses are testifying about the phenomena called the 420Nurses, as a lifestyl...

A few days ago the Obama administration issued what to some is called a first step forward toward government marijuana acceptance, at least medical acceptance of marijuana. I am sure people like Lanny Swerdlow and those in the Human Solution are drinking the kool-aid, though I hope not. The people here are different however, and that’s why I became a part of this organization. Starting tomorrow there will be a serialized blog, daily posting an excerpt from the book I have on sale at Amazon. The...

Now that election time is near for us in California, it is time to remember those politicians who have fallen under the spell of corporate thinking and vote them out. Though it hasn’t been verified by independent voice record, it still is a pretty safe bet that the names below are anti-pot along with being pro-GMO. If you are registered to vote and plan on doing so, please take a minute to check if any on this list are within your voting right to blackball. Also be sure to spread the word to o...

Many of you are collecting signatures on a petition for the very first time. As a person who has collected names over the years, off and on, for various causes [renter’s rights, women’s rights, voter registration, etc] and a person well versed in the stigma associated with pot along with the blurred lines concerning patients and stoners, I’d like to offer up a few observations that I have encountered as I also gather names. 1. After your circle of friends, neighborhood [if you feel comfortable...

In the Old Testament, the book of Daniel is credited with being a far-ranging view to the future. In the second chapter, ‘the dream of the king Nebuchadnezzar’ shows the destruction of the last man-made empire of the world; 'man made' indicating an empire formed by decree/design. Though it doesn’t exactly say so in the Bible, Nebuchadnezzar made a 90 foot [3score cubits] tall gold coin 9 feet [6 cubits] thick with a bust likeness of himself on the obverse side like a giant Lincoln penny. Outside...

A recent political science experiment was run by the Temecula Calendar dubbed GMO’s Rising Star. While conspiracy theorists claim the entire government is compromised, the more realistic view is that a portion of the government is owned. This plutocratic vein was revealed by the Calendar experiment to exist and exert a controlling influence in public politics. This time in history is one that we can all feel. If you are young, you’re in a rush to make your mark, to leave something behind with ...

The chapters 1-19 were written and completed in 2001, along with a wrap-up 20th chapter wondering about pot’s future and stating the very same ‘why don’t they just’ yada, yada, yada. Although Chapter 20 catches up on the space between 2001 and Dec. 21, 2012, when I met the 420Nurses and accepted Cha Cha’s invitation to join this site, it was written after experiencing two months at Occupy Los Angeles. The political unity, regardless of the various named causes, was stirring with medical mariju...

The 420Nurses was started Halloween night, 2009, by CEO ChaCha Va Voom in Hollywood, CA. Prior to that, a dot-com entrepreneur registered the domain name who was friends with the future CEO. Coincidence? Only if your play the odds and the horses. Though the 420Nurses boost a growing fraternity and international model movement as an altruistic organization, like the fictitious Wayne Foundation which houses the Batman in secret, so also the 420Nurses have a dual nature and purpose, plus a secret...

Many of us rally at the cry ‘One Love’ but have you reckoned beyond that to wonder about the magic behind the movement. Long past just a place for companionship and validation, the very origin date of the 420Nurses is enough to give Dr. Watson a clue. But a clue is not the whole story. Let’s look at the clues and all who read this are welcome to research every theme topic mentioned. Origin date and location: October 31, 2009, Hollywood, CA. Halloween is the most magical 24 hours of the year a...

So you have written your story, your poem, your personal account, or covered some live event for the NEWS.420Nurses.com website. To go with the text you have pictures. What do you do after you select the shots you want to use, keeping in mind that you want one as the Featured Image. The ‘featured image’ is just that. It is the picture to set the tone or the subject of the piece. The shot can be artistic or subject themed, though two-shot writer/subject is recommended for the closing wrap-up. ...

Twas the night before Christmas And all through the pad, Everyone was searching For the electronics they had. Earbuds were hung on the chimney with care In hopes Memoirs refutes bullshit from DARE. The children nestled all snugly in bed Knowing their seizures would soon be dead. Outside in snow, men printed the word ‘pot’ While singing about cannabis, once cool, now hot. A light shown down both far and near Bringing words of truth so all could hear. The Earth Mother smiled at what was at han...

As I take a few days off to celebrate my birthday with some extended family I haven't seen since I was 25 or so, I wanted to leave my favorite group of compadres a little something to think about until I return. I am also celebrating a return to writing blogs after a glitch forced me out for about a year. Of course I was busy on the NEWS, but you ladies have claimed my heart through One Love. So what do these famous names have in common? If you said they are all fictional, wrong-o! What they al...

Now that I had uncovered the ‘who’ of my visitors, I was left with the questions of ‘why me’ and ‘why’ period. Throwing out the ‘why me’ as not ‘looking a gift horse in the mouth’, I was inclined to wonder if my belief system and child-like personification of life might have played a factor. Looking back, my personification of Mary Jane Green has likened her to a complex human female, just as enjoyable but on a more consistent basis. Perhaps since Mother Nature is a female personification, as i...

[Editor's Note: Chapters 1-19 were finished and written in 2001] Chapter 1 How I First Met Mary Jane Hello, my name is PT Rothschild and I’m an ex-pot smoker. As such I am writing this book for several reasons. The first and foremost reason is that you will never have any government expert or scientist, laboring under a grant, write a study and tell you the truth about pot. The second reason is now that I have quit smoking pot I can come forward and say things about pot without a hint of repe...

If 1963 marked the end of the DRAGNET generation then 1964 seemed to mark the beginning of the ‘hip’ generation. I say that because in 1964 the young people I met (high school seniors or less) were ‘hip’ to the war, ‘hip’ to the ‘system’, ‘hip’ to the ‘separate but equal’ fallacy, and ‘hip’ to pot. This was a lot of ‘hipness’ to come from one generation I remember thinking to myself, as I encountered young person after young person all expressing the same cosmic view on the dismal condition of t...

After a couple of days went by I quizzed my roommate about his pot use. Dyno Den (his college nickname) explained to me that smoking grass in the big cities, he was from New York, was something that was done on a regular basis among the young people who were hip to the scene. Older folks, the authorities, and ‘hicks’ like me, however, held the opposite view, which was why he and his friends ‘toweled’ the windows and door to avoid detection. If pot didn’t readily lead to heroin addiction, why wa...

By 1966 I was starting to see cracks in the theory of rightness with which we were fighting the war in ‘Nam. The music that I listened to had taken a decidedly serious detour from the usual ‘I gotta have you, babe’ and was speaking out on issues of the day, namely the environment, the war, civil rights, and stirring feelings of equality in women. Being single, I was running with members of a local band aptly named the Midnighters who played weekends over at the lounge in the bowling alley. Austi...

The three of us laughed and talked that morning away. We had so much fun. The scene from the uncut version of the movie NINE TO FIVE comes closest to what we shared, minus the prospect of revenge on Dabney Coleman’s character, of course. Before they rolled the second joint they asked me what I thought, and I had to admit that I did not see what all the fuss was about. “Er, what was the question again?” I had experienced something that I would later learn as loss of short-term memory. Leroy tol...

A stated purpose of the NEWS is to expose the general public to a different side of the 420Nurses, the creative writing side while creating a staff that may one day gainful employment in the writing field beyond the NEWS. Becoming a writer really involves more than just a free spirit. There is dedication and performance. The dedication comes in with the technical end, becoming proficient in grammar and spelling. But performance can be evidenced in different ways. As the editor of the NEWS I w...

Recently the 420Nurses has started to crystallize into something beyond just a place to share ideas and stories. More than just a stop for your morning med session, the founding creators have always had an agenda in mind – the liberation of cannabis for the masses. This liberation is freedom from stigma, freedom from ignorance, freedom from scarcity, and access to all the various cannabis products and benefits. Because of the support as a group for CCHI, Jack Herer’s heritage legalization bill...

In the coming days before the NEWS.420Nurses.com is RSS linked to 420Nurses.com, I wanted to reveal a motivation that came from a conversation. That conversation was with Jimmy, the lead male admin for the 420Nurses. We were talking about expanding the 420Nurses brand beyond the model stage through starting a news site. Though people tend to confuse the two because they are both online, a news blog is not a news site. A news site presents news and a news blog paints certain news with an opinion...

It’s been a stellar week for the GMO awareness movement. Josephine and Jackson counties in Oregon both won local ballot initiatives to ban cultivation of GMO crops. They not only won, they did it by a landslide in both counties! VT, CT, ME, HI, Josephine and Jackson Counties won because of people like you and me who took time out of our busy lives to ACT for our future and sovereignty as Americans. SB 1381 has made it through three Senate Committees!!! It will be voted on the Senate Floor so...

California’s bill to label genetically engineered foods, SB 1381, is on its way to the Senate floor! However, the bill needs to be passed by the Appropriations Committee first. The hearing is scheduled for May 12. Please call members of the Appropriations Committee before May 12 and ask them to vote yes for SB 1381. We again need to take action to bring SB 1381 before the Senate floor. Like before, say you support SB 1381 and be ready to give your name or zip code or town. It’s as simple as t...

All, THANKS FOR BEING ON THE TEAM AND MAKING THE DIFFERENCE! You DO make a difference by making these calls. PLEASE TAKE 6 MINUTES BY MONDAY NIGHT 4/21 to call the 6 state senators below, per the request of Pamm Larry, our statewide leader. Getting SB1381 voted successfully out of the Senate Judiciary Committee is our next hurdle in getting it passed into law. Pamm would like us to call each member of the committee prior to next Tuesday's vote, information below. (Judiciary Cmte. relates t...

A LOOK AT THE COMPETING LEGAL WEED INITIATIVE Temecula, CA – Recently I posted a story about an opinion I had called, ‘The Weed of Ego…’. After it was posted I realized that I was acting an activist and not a reporter. In the interest of being fair and balanced, I decided to investigate this second initiative more fully. After the jump, I have three links a very cordial gentleman named Dave Hodges sent me for my query about his motivation and organization. From what I have seen, the pot scene ...

WHAT IS NEWS? “In the beginning was the word” but since, that ‘word’ has been distorted, disguised, and deemed to deny both the sisterhood of women and the destiny of cannabis. Now the 420Nurses are launching a NEWS site project to correct for that deviation. News is anything you haven’t heard before that has a verifiable source; otherwise it is gossip, rumor, or innuendo. News is reported. Since mainline news sources are reliant on mainline advertisers, they are reluctant to cover anything ...

NEWS.420Nurses.com is seeking interns/patients who would like to be part of a brand new arm of 420Nurses.com. This project will seek to develop future writers, editors, proofreaders, and reporters. There will be no drug tests. Creativity and critical thinking count for as much as enthusiasm and daring do. A brief analysis of what's news, how to report it, where to look, and how to make it, will follow in subsequent blogs here on this subject. CALLING ALL Lois Lanes, Jimmy Olsens, and Superwome...

EXPANDING YOUR TARGET MARKET – FLIP THE SCRIPT Up to now we have been dealing with becoming news writers, officially, and supplying our readers, medical marijuana patients and their fans, with news different from all the other cannabis reader outlets. We want to expand our readers’ minds pass just looking at our, well, yours anyway, bodies. We want to expand their minds past the 'boobs with brains' concept you get from a top shelf blunt. We want to change society and them more in the way two jo...

Hello to all, sorry for the delay in posting a blog but the news hasn't been quiet on any front lately. Last night the Red Phone rang with this latest simple call to action, literally a phone call to start the push back for our health. The cause of keeping pot all natural, CCHI's main point, and labels, real labels, not those rubber-stamped by the FDA and cheered by FLOTUS. I am making my calls as soon as I finish posting this message for help. "Dear Friends, We are thrilled to have the potenti...

Last week a state bill got started in the committee stage concerning GMO food. A blog was posted in the blog section of 420Nurses.com alerting folks and asking for help with just a phone call. A story asking for help was NOT posted to the NEWS or to the Calendar. This was to test the power of the 420Nurses as a marketing/campaign tool. Recently a new state bill was introduced into committee. With the help of a phone-in campaign the bill passed the first huddle, the Health Committee. TODAY WE ...

SO YOU THINK YOU CAN WRITE From being in an award-winning high school drill team, I can tell you that in life, there are four kinds of people. There are people in the parade; there are people watching the parade; there are people trying to disrupt the parade; and there are people saying, “What parade?” The last group is representative of Carrie Moss’ Matrix line, “Your men are already dead.” The third group of people is the people we fight because they produce the lies and disinformation. The...
