Cannabis Corner Chat Room

From Freedom Leaf magazine. The four best stoner flicks to take in in 2021.   Stoner movies are funny, whether you watch them baked or not. Well, they’re funnier when you watch it baked, of course. But that’s the nature of stoner movies–funny, goofy, idiotic, ridiculous. They’re not supposed to win Oscars, although they did have an award-giving body of their own–the Stony Awards. Unfortunately, the Stony Awards have been discontinued, more’s the pity. But you know what? Any movies you watch while high is technically a stoner movie. A documentary about pink dolphins? Of course! A movie about hobbits and wizards and elves? You bet! Although it’s a pity nobody has yet made a stoner movie about the adventures of Merry and Pippin, which would’ve been the bee’s knees. A stoner movie is usually about a couple of guys getting stoned and going on spontaneous adventures. But not all stoner movies fit that description. Some stoner movies have women protagonists, and some don’t even deal with exce

 Found the following  interesting and entertaining article on parenting in these time of growing cannibis legalization and broad acceptance in our society. Excerpt below. CLN -  I n the words of Bob Dylan, the times they are a-changing, and  parenting  is like trying to build IKEA furniture without instructions. For many, the way we had   cannabis   explained to us growing up isn’t the same way we’d approach it with our kids now. I’m sure plenty of Satanic-panic era parents probably remember the fire and brimstone and “weed is a gateway to  hard drugs ” D.A.R.E-esque evangelism. Still, explaining cannabis to kids can be a tough conversation, and we want to approach it without lying or coming across hypocritical.  Fortunately for me, my family were low-key smokers, meaning they didn’t exactly hide it, but they didn’t advertise the fact they smoked more than one kind of cigarette. I thought the plants in the greenhouse were tomato plants — even though it was always odd how we never had

  It is time for President Biden to educate himself on cannabis benefits, understand his egregiously outdated knowledge of cannabis, and his unjustified and immoral support for the 1994 crime bill that resulted in the explosion in the prison population for the non violent crime of smoking weed. An activity that hurt NO ONE.  If Biden refuses to pull his head out of the darkness then congress and the senate should force his hand. Get a law to decriminalize and legalize out of both houses and see what Bisen does. Hopefully he actually places his trust in the America people as he so often said he does. It is time to PROVE it. On to the article... Anyone surprised that Joe Biden would scrutinize the weed-smoking habits of his White House staff hasn't paid attention to one of the more consistent policy threads of his decades-long career. He’s just not ready to embrace cannabis. Despite a shift in public opinion toward legalizing marijuana over the past 30 years, the president’s more con

It is clear the actual  intented purposes behind Richard Nixon's failed "War on Drugs", his most lasting legacy, was actually quite successful . Putting peop le of color behind bars . The "War on Drugs" lie is right up their with other racist legacies of America. Like slavery, Jim Crow laws,  the attempted genocide of our native poopuatiion, the imprisonment of Japaneese America during WW II, and more. Excerpt from Stoner The War on Drugs is finally experiencing a long-overdue counterattack from the states enacting plans for marijuana legalization. Recent data supports the assertion that both African Americans and Caucasians consume marijuana equally.  Despite this, there is a huge disparity between the number of minorities and white americans being penalized and incarcerated for cannabis use or possession. African Americans, Hipics, and Caucasians each make up about 30% of the population in Oakland, California, but over 95% of the arrests for marijuana involv

  WASHINGTON, D.C.  – The vast majority of Americans—83 percent—believe the  war on drugs  has been a spectacular failure leading only to increased drug-related harms and prison overcrowding, according to a new poll. The poll also revealed 66 percent of Americans support “ eliminating criminal penalties for drug possession  and reinvesting drug enforcement resources into treatment and addiction services.” In addition, 64 percent of Americans support repealing mandatory minimum sentences for drug crimes, and 61 percent support commuting or reducing the sentences of people incarcerated for drugs. The numbers—which are strikingly similar across all political persuasions—indicate Americans not only are ready for a new policy direction but also want to  address failed current policies retroactively . June 17 marked fifty years since  President Richard M. Nixon  declared drugs “public enemy number one,” sparking the infamous “war” that has cost taxpayers more than $1 trillion and incarcerate

  How the Mormon church unlocked medical pot for deep red states “They did everything that they could to fight this until the people had spoken," a former state lawmaker said of the church. POLITICO -  SALT LAKE CITY — On a Thursday in October 2018, a handful of Utah’s top lawmakers, representatives from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and medical marijuana advocates filed into the   Gold Room , an ornate space in the state Capitol. They were joined by the Utah Medical Association and law enforcement groups to announce a deal to legalize medical marijuana across the state. Everyone was there in large part because the church had decided they would be. “You could just almost hear the teeth grinding of the law enforcement — and some of the other people that were sitting there — having to play nice and say 'Oh yeah … this is all kumbaya.' Because, it wasn't,” said former Republican Utah state Sen. Mark Madsen, who worked to pass medical marijuana legislati
