mmecadmin — Tue, 21 Feb 2012 14:54:26 +0000

Roseanne Barr’s soon-to-be unsuccessful run for “Highest Leader” of this great nation got just a little makeover – Due to the support of a paramount marijuana group NORML, which just introduced its support for that comic-switched-politician.

The current executive director of NORML (National Organization for Reform of Marijuana Laws) — Allen St. Pierre – announced his intention to show support for any nut bag pro marijuana seed product candidate “who’ll adopt a pro-cannabis law reform as part of their political platform” … especially Roseanne Barr’.

St. Pierre adds, “NORML welcomes Roseanne’s public support for ending a unsuccessful 74-year-old Cannabis Seed Prohibition.”

Ms. Barr introduced her intention to fight for the “Highest” office in the land – As such Roseanne will go after the Green Party’s nomination then campaigning to legalize the ability to grow marijuana.

Roseanne has a lengthy reputation as being a 420 fan and for being very pro – pot growing– Roseanne also lives in 2 states (Hawaii and California) with progressive marijuana laws and regulations.

Marijuana Can Fill In For ADHD Drug Shortage

mmecadmin — Mon, 20 Feb 2012 10:43:14 +0000

While a continuing shortage of conventional “Med’s” for American’s with Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder — including parents of kids with ADHD – are now needing to call around to multiple pharmacies before finding one which carries the prescription they have to manage their ADHD problem.

Reports of which medicine — and the region affected vary, but the primary focus continues to be on Adderall XR, produced by Shire PLC, and it is two generic versions, also produced by Shire but sold by drug companies Teva and Impax.

The main problem with these medications is that they typically cease working almost the moment the individual stops ingesting them. So as the school year is winding to an end — this might be an especially diffcult time on youngsters who depend on their medicines to do well academically.

Many Studies have shown in hyperactive / impulsive rats an improvement with their ability to focus based on the consumption of marijuana / cannabis seed products. It is time for the world’s scientific research community to begin adult human studies on this most natural medication which improves ADHD symptoms without the unwanted side effects of stimulant medication. And of course we must mention that we do not recommend using medical marijuana by smoking it; vaporizers. edibles, and tinctures are now widely available and eliminate the adverse side effects of toxic smoke on the lungs.

Kids with ADHD most often have problems paying attention and or concentrating. They can’t seem to be able to follow directions and are easily bored or frustrated with tasks that require focusing. They also tend to move constantly and are impulsive, not stopping to think before they act. Although some might say that all children behave like this to some extent, they occur more often than usual and are more severe in a child with ADHD.

Given the abundance of home grown marijuana as well as Hydroponically cultivated cannabis– Do youself a favor during this national shortage of pills… try calming down with medcial marijuana.

Montana Marijuana Caregivers Shown Compassion By Federal Judge

mmecadmin — Sun, 19 Feb 2012 14:18:02 +0000

When federal agents started raiding Montana marijuana collectives and hydroponic grow stores that supplied many marijuana growers around Montana this past year… the long lasting mental effects – as well as legal ramification – for individuals in the marijuana business appeared dire.

On the surface of the charges they faced compulsory minimum prison sentences for cannabis seeds production with a minimum of 5 years of imprisonment on some charges… and with a maximum penalty of 4 DECADES!… 40 YEARS, as well as fines varying all the way up to $5 million.

Strange thing is – thus far the sentences passed down to date have been substantially shorter than was originally threatened by the Fed’s, varying anywhere from 6 to 18 months.

As well as in one situation where lawyers negotiated sentencing recommendations of 24-30 months for three males then a federal judge in Helena cut in half the minimum time required, sentencing them rather to one year. Senior Judge Charles Lovell belittled the recommendations as “excessive,” making particular mention of the fact that the 3 males, who operated marijuana seed dispensaries and marijuana grow shops in Helena and Great Falls, thought that they were compliant and legal under Montana state law.

John Masterson of Montana NORML (National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws).states the despite the fact of the “light sentences” their terms and fines “will still be pretty burdensome” .

He went on to mention that any prison time to be served by people that thought that they were only following state medical marijuana laws and insead now face huge forfeitures of cash and property is outragous.

Robin Rolls ‘em Thick… While Dad Feels “Growing Pains”

mmecadmin — Sat, 18 Feb 2012 14:43:03 +0000

I finally understand what Singer Robin Thicke was singing about in his s-“hit” single “The Sweetest Love”… his affection for smoking marijuana. Apparently Robin had just rolled a “Thicke” ass joint and fired it up when he arrested for marijuana possession.

The son of Alan Thicke, who’s most noticeable role on T.V. was for playing Jason Seaver on the crappy mid 90’s sitcom “Growing Pains” was arrested at 12:25 p.m. by some N.Y.P.D. cops who were bored and with nothing else to do, when they noticed Thicke burning some chronic while kicking it in his Cadillac Escalade near 3rd Ave. and E. 21st St., close to Gramercy Park.

The N.Y.P.D. noted that “He wasn’t driving,” … however he was in the car smoking a blunt and was arrested along with a small little bit of marijuana was retrieved on him.”

Robin – 34, was smoking out with another person when he was arrested, then charged with burning some home grown hydroponic super skunk marijuana.

The now busted Thicke was good-natured during the detention… dude “He was taking pictures with the cops,” — “They were coming over to him and getting autographs”.

None of this comes as a shock if you know how the Douche bag cops in N.Y.C. work. The amount of stop-and-frisks executed by the NYPD has amplified dramatically in the past 10 years as records show. The number of cannabis related arrests in 2008 came in at 40,383 – that was massive increase in the combined number of marijuana arrests during both mayor Koch… and Dinkins’ terms… Oh yeah also the first two years of Giuliani’s tenure, according to the Daily News. – And guess what? That number increased by 15 percent from 2008 to 2009.

So Robin… you’re in good company!

Marijuana Smuggler Fly’s Into Obama’s Air Space:

mmecadmin — Fri, 17 Feb 2012 14:09:52 +0000

When the going gets weird – the weird start flying – Someone did not do their homework. Apparently a small private plane carrying about 40 pounds of some dank home grown marijuana strayed into President Obama’s no-fly zone over the L.A. airport on Thursday and was forced to land at Long Beach Airport after being diverted by U.S. Air Force jet fighters.

After the fighter jets forced the lost and stoned pilot of the plane to land at Long Beach Airport. Officers from three different branches of the Gov. searched the plane and discovered over 40 pounds of marijuana inside the plane.

It was not clear who was piloting the Cessna, which according to federal records was manufactured in 1961. The plane’s FAA registration lists the owner as David W. Major, 52, of Grover Beach, a town south of Pismo Beach in San Luis Obispo County. Who ever was flying the plane was arreseted for marijuana smuggling

So what have we learned from today’s lesson boy and girls? If you are a Budding Marijuana Smuggler, Grower, Or just a big fan of weed seeds — and If you are trying to smuggle 40 pounds of sticky marijuana, be it AK47, Big Buddha, Jack Herer or any other type of cannabis strain. Do yourself a favor… do some homework before you take off on your trip, you might just save yourself the embarrassment that this man will now endure.

Barack Obama: The Short Road from Marijuana’s Savoir to Sativa’s Satan

mmecadmin — Thu, 16 Feb 2012 16:10:29 +0000

Damn this is embarrassing to admit… but I voted for Barack Obama. That being said, when I voted for this monumental liar of historic proportion he had just stated …”I’m not going to be using Justice Department resources to try to circumvent state laws on this issue (State Marijuana Laws),” he promised the United States medical marijuana community that we were all good.

Now Mr. Obama never came out and said that he like to fire up the Purple Haze with the Mrs. – but with a wink and a node we all understood the subtext — “vote for me… and I’ll be your boy”, all but assuring an end to the misguided Bush-league DOJ reign of terror’s “High”-profile raids on providers of medical Weed seeds, which — oh yeah…. is perfectly legal in 16 states including the District of Columbia.

Well in the last year, things have gone from bad to worst the Federal government has silently unleashed a multiagency attack on medical marijuana grow shops that goes beyond anything carried out by George W. Rose bush. The feds are busting farmers who be employed in full compliance with condition laws and regulations, vowing to get the home of anybody who dares to even rent to legal pot shops, and threatening to imprison condition employees accountable for controlling medicinal marijuana seeds. Using more than 100 raids on pot shops throughout his first 3 years, Obama has become on pace to exceed Bush’s record for medical-marijuana busts. “There is no doubt that Obama’s the worst leader on medicinal marijuana,Inch states Take advantage of Kampia, executive director from the Marijuana Policy Project. “He’s gone from first to worst.”

The government attack imperils the medical proper care of the believed 730,000 patients countrywide – most of them seriously ill or dying – who depend on condition-approved marijuana suggested by their doctors. Additionally, drug experts warn, the Whitened House’s fight against law-abiding companies of medicinal marijuana collectives is only going to drum up business for street thugs and crooks. “The administration is certainly going after legal shops and condition and native government bodies with techniques that will push these items back subterranean again,” states Ethan Nadelmann, director from the Drug Policy Alliance. Gov. Lincoln subsequently Chafee of Rhode Island, an old Republican senator that has advised the DEA to legalize medicinal marijuana, pulls no punches in explaining the situation created by Obama’s efforts to circumvent condition law: “Utter chaos.”

While Banks Kick Marijuana Business To The Curb — Colorado Has A Fix for You

mmecadmin — Tue, 14 Feb 2012 10:52:48 +0000

Medicinal marijuana products are legal in 17 states, however the industry includes a decidedly black-market aspect – it’s mostly cash-only.

Banks won’t touch pot seeds money. As marijuana flower medication is illegal under federal law, and processing transactions or opportunities with pot money puts government insured banks vulnerable to drug-racketeering charges

In Colorado they are trying an finish-play the government prohibit having a bill that will produce the nation’s first condition cooperative lender for marijuana grow shops and their cannabis farmers to enable them to store and take a loan.

The proposal, if passed, will be a direct challenge towards the U.S. Justice Department, which alerts that financial transactions including weed seed money are illegal.

However for Colorado’s 600 approximately medicinal marijuana seed shops, and 100s more farmers and connected industry employees, the issue of the inability to bank marijuana cash is large enough to create the task useful.

“I’ve been kicked to the curb from three banks,” stated Matthew Huron, who owns two shops as well as an edible marijuana company in Colorado. Certainly one of his shops, Good Chemistry, greets patients having a sign up the register, “CASH ONLY.”

Huron pays his bills with money orders. Huron’s current bank, that they won’t title, doesn’t be aware of true supply of his company’s deposits. But with no bank account, Huron stated he wouldn’t have the ability to spend the money for needed payroll tax for his 15 employees.

Small company financial loans will also be unthinkable, Huron stated. To be able to develop a warehouse to develop the marijuana he sells – essential under Colorado law – Huron needed to grow pot throughout construction then sell the pot to create cash obligations to complete the warehouse.

“It’s very cumbersome, the banking aspect,” Huron stated.

Cumbersome and harmful. Marijuana Dispensary crime is rare, however the Colorado-based Medicinal Marijuana Industry Group, which assists the legislation, reviews that it is people complain to be adopted home with a few saying they’ve been sufferers of robberies they haven’t reported..

Marijuana companies have considerable amounts of money on their own premises, a well known fact as broadly referred to as cost from the product they offer.

“It freaks everyone out,” stated James Laws and regulations, gm in the Good Chemistry pot shop in Colorado. “It’s off-putting when individuals are available in and we must say, ‘Sorry, our ATM’s lower so you have to go lower the road and obtain cash or we can’t assist you to.’”

The balance up for debate within the condition Senate Finance Committee Tuesday would generate a lender somewhat just like a bank.

Only licensed people of Colorado’s medicinal marijuana industry, or their sufferers, could join. Initially, the Medicinal Marijuana Financial Cooperative would simply be the vault of sorts for pot money. People could deposit money and take money out.

Eventually, the cooperative could decide whether or not to problem financial loans or provide other banking services.

Several Dems in Congress, including Colorado Repetition. Jared Polis, have suggested federal legislation opening financial services for medicinal marijuana companies in states where they’re legal. However, prospects are remote..

States Medical Marijuana Law Protection — Fed’s Say Forget About it!

mmecadmin — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 11:41:07 +0000

The Montana marijuana law has just gotten a little uglier and more meaningless as it will “NOT” shield Montana marijuana dispensers from federal prosecution, an area court has just ruled.

The ruling will decrease the amount of doctors prepared to recommend medicinal home grown marijuana to patients, along with the quality seeds of an organizations that distribute medical cannabis, stated Timothy Baldwin, a lawyer for that litigants. “How a authorities has treated the in Montana along with other states, it’s triggered individuals to become frightened of being specific [for prosecution]. That will include doctors,” he stated.

Montana voters approved a stride to legalize medicinal marijuana in 2004. The statute enables patients to make use of the drug having a written recommendation from the physician.

Several care providers and marijuana farmers and marketers prosecuted the U.S. government this year following a raid by government bodies confiscated marijuana seeds, plants and related equipment. The litigants stated the raids were unconstitutional because Montana law permitted these to grow and convey marijuana for medical consumption. They was adamant the U.S. Dept. of Justice had stated it wouldn’t positively prosecute medicinal marijuana care providers.

["The federal government has never given a free pass to produce and consume marijuana, even for medical purposes,"-- "In the so-called Ogden Memo, the Dept. of Justice communicated to its attorneys that certain marijuana users and providers would be a lower priority for prosecution than others. ... But the department also made clear that it did not intend to 'legalize' marijuana," nor would it have the power to do so.]
