Ending the “War Against (Some) Drugs” means we all have to become activists on some level and learn how the political system works.
Marijuana Was Legal At the Federal Level In The Sixties
This one is right out of Old Hippie’s infamous stash of little-known facts. In the process of doing some historical research, I found some interesting tidbits. Today is, at least according to one source, exactly 75 years since the U.S. House of Representatives passed the dangerous and illegal Marihuana Tax Act of 1937, based largely […]
Let’s Ban the Bogeyman
It’s time to get medical grade cannabis out of the bogeyman’s realm and into the hands of patients. The bogeyman in this case is comprised of the following types of beliefs: that cannabis is evil or dangerous that THC is the only useful chemical component in cannabis that pharmaceutical science with one hand tied behind […]
Guest Editorial: Obama’s War On Medical Marijuana Just Got Even Uglier
by Scott Morgan, July 12, 2012, 10:28pm Reprinted from StopTheDrugWar.org by permission One month ago, Eric Holder testified before Congress that the Dept. of Justice is only targeting medical marijuana businesses that violate their state’s laws.

How The Federal Government Lies About Everything
It started almost 50 years ago, when even I was a kid. The assassination of JFK shook people’s faith in stability, but it took the Warren Commission report to shake their faith in government. The book-length report put out by that commission was so obviously nonsense that about 2/3 of America didn’t even believe it. Considering […]
Obama’s New Tactic Against Medical Marijuana Patients: Suspend Free Speech
Guest post from the Marijuana Policy Project. I am disgusted today — OH In the latest move of the Obama Administration’s incomprehensible attack on medical marijuana, U.S. attorneys announced today that they will begin to prosecute media outlets that publish advertisements for medical marijuana!
