Last Thursday, members of Congress submitted HB 2306, a bill that would end Federal prohibition of marijuana completely and allow each state to decide whether they wanted to ban it, regulate it, or simply legalize it. There’s been quite a lot of discussion since then about how it would work, whether it would work, it’s never […]

Take action against cannabis prohibition! If you’re not part of the solution, you’re part of the problem!
Safe, Legal Access To Marijuana Is A Basic Human Right
…and it says so right in the Declaration of Independence: We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Sounds pretty good […]
Government To U.S. Citizens: Drop Dead
It’s not just medical marijuana patients anymore. It’s a hard-working former U.S. Marine who was shot 60 times, then denied medical attention until he died.

Cannabis, Politics, and Scientific Revisionism
It seems like it was just yesterday that I wrote an article on The 420 Times about how great it was that the U.S. Government was starting to publicly acknowledge some of the benefits of cannabis (a.k.a. medical marijuana).

Willie Nelson Is (Really!) Having a Pot Party, And We’re All Invited!
We all heard about Willie Nelson getting busted for possession of a few ounces of weed a little while ago. Well, there were jokes about him starting a Teapot Party, but it turns out he was really serious! And now NORML is involved and there will be meetups all over the country (hopefully people won’t […]
Government Hypocrisy and Marijuana
It’s all about the money. Every time. The most cynical thing is that Reagan claimed marijuana was the most dangerous drug in America…and wasn’t it the CIA that was trafficking crack and powder cocaine by the ton while he was President? Government anti-drug propaganda has made fools out of a large number of Americans, prisoners […]
