Truth Will Always Prevail... Sometimes It Just Takes Awhile

 Good morning, and a wonderful morning is is!

While perusing cannabis news this morning we came across a short comment on Quora and decided to share it with you all.


Why has the government/public opinion on marijuana changed so much?

Insistence by intelligent people, including those of we Boomers who never did stop using cannabis since the 1950s and continue to do so today, amazingly we weren’t all slovenly homeless people relying on the state to support us.

We were, in fact, productive members of society who decided to continue to “poke smot “ our entire lives.

I’m always amazed at the “no long term studies” bla bla bla comments..there are lots of long term studies. I tried to volunteer for a long term study when I was in my 60s but was turned down!

I am a living long term study, as are many others of my generation!

Here’s an amazing fact. Ready? The government lied to us. I know. It’s really hard to believe, but the briefest study of Harry Ainslinger, a politician who was supportive of prohibition, then when that was repealed needed another bandwagon to climb in, picked cannabis.

And William Randolph Hearst, newspaperman and owner of vast tracts of forest, who was afraid the lowly hemp plant would become the basis of newspaper instead of his trees. He sold newsprint to papers all over the east coast. He was rich but wanted to be richer.

There were other culprits but I challenge any interested person to read the truth instead of government propaganda.

Dickie Nixon was afraid of the hippies and decided if he couldn’t shut us up any other way, he’d wage a war on drugs. We’re still seeing the results of that war today with incarcerated black men who were caught holding a joint. That would get you 30 years, thanks to Dickies War on Drugs.

Yeah. Things have changed. But not fast enough.


Things change slowly  in America that's for certain. But at least they are changing and that folks is really all that matters. 


Onward and upwards as we keep up the good fight for total and complete decriminalization of Natures finest gift to humankind. Cannabis in all its wonderful forms.

  America's reason the the will of the voters are suppressed, ignored, and or rejected. Conservative Republicans and little if anything else is the reason . They simply hate democracy and the will of the people. Even when it is good for the people, the nation, and the overall health, serenity, and peace of the people. It ain't gonna get better or change any time soon. Unless the people vote the conservative republican authoritarians out of office. Which as we know would be a spectacularly good thing! On to the article. Forbes - . ..  Recent polling suggests more than two-thirds of Americans want adult-use cannabis legalized. And though polling isn’t the most reliable indicator of voter behavior, legal cannabis’s undefeated record at the ballot box last November is a strong signal that with weed, citizens’ choices in the voting booth reflect the desires voiced to opinion-takers. Elected officials and the courts are a different matter. In five states where voters have either pas

Mississippi Supreme Court Overturns the Will of the People

We are a nation founded on the principal of self rule . In many ways and in many states that principal is honored and the will of the people is heard and it becomes law. But certainly not in all states and not in every case and every state. Such is the state in Mississippi. Story below. Cannabis Business Executive - Mississippi was supposed to join dozens of other states with medical marijuana programs. People looking to grow and dispense marijuana for medical purposes were making plans, some spending millions on land and buildings. Those eligible under the list of 22 debilitating conditions were counting on it come August. On Friday, the Mississippi Supreme Court flipped that reality upside down. Its  decision to overrule a voter-approved medical marijuana initiative  has sparked outrage from several organizations. Some have started petitions, one coalition called for a boycott of the city of Madison — its mayor filed the lawsuit that was before the court — and another is planning a r
