Biden Continues His Anti Cannibis Bias

  “The rules are the rules and everybody knows what the rules were going in,” Biden said. “Whether they should remain the rules is a different issue, but the rules are the rules.” And in that simple straight forward statement President Biden clearly indicates he is perfectly happy with the archaic & punitive cannibis prohibition the federal government has pursued since Richard Nixon. Do not plan to see cannabis legalization at ther federal level during the Biden administration. It simply ain't gonna happen.

The Many Ways To Enjoy Cannibis

  CLN - Cannabis has been consumed for millennia in various parts of the world because of its health benefits. Modern science and medicine have rediscovered their efficacy in treating inflammation and chronic pain and have been coming up with new ways to utilize the plant. One of the most common ways of extracting cannabis’s active chemical compounds, CBD and THC, has been smoking it. The  legalization of marijuana  for medical (and in some cases even recreational use) in several jurisdictions has prompted an upsurge in people using cannabis. Unfortunately, many people are reluctant to smoke it, largely because of the ingrained stereotypes in their minds of cannabis users. Others, like those with respiratory conditions, can’t consume cannabis via smoking.  Smoking also presents risks to people in good health, including respiratory, head, and neck cancers, and long-term lung ailments including bronchitis, emphysema, and COPD. What do you do if you still want to get all of cannabis’s be

Rick Steves: Pot is now used by Mom and Dad. And Grandma's rubbing it on her elbows

  Today's featured article is brought to you by CNN Opinion via NORML . Times they are a changing and it is a very good and wholesome advancement forward. The articles straight forward honesty and frankness is why it is posted here in full. On to the article. "It's time to recognize the civil liberty of mature American adults to enjoy smoking pot in their own homes and to do so without breaking the law," writes Rick Steves. CNN -   I 'm a hard-working, kid-raising, churchgoing, tax-paying American. And if I work hard all day and want to go home, smoke a joint and stare at my fireplace for three hours, that's my civil liberty. This is my basic, principled message on marijuana legalization, a cause I've promoted for many years. But my interest is grounded in something more: 50 years ago, President Richard Nixon declared war on drugs. And  his administration made sure to include marijuana as a public enemy , even listing it in  the "Schedule I" cat

145 Million Souls Now Have Access To Cannabis, and the March To Federal Legalization Continues

Image
From my inbox at the now silent Rational Nation USA weblog. We pass it on top you and hope stoners everywhere will support NORML in any way you can.  June 28, 2021 Friend, This week marks another critical mile-marker on the road to ending marijuana prohibition in the United States. By the end of this week, Connecticut, New Mexico, and Virginia will all have abolished criminal penalties for marijuana possession. That means that by week's end, 14.3 million more Americans will live in a jurisdiction where the adult use of marijuana is legal. In all, 145 million Americans -- or just shy of half of the US population -- now reside in reformed states. But we're just getting started.  Will you continue to stand with us? Over 50 years ago, when NORML was initially founded, the fight for legalization was a much lonelier one. At that time, only 13 percent of the public endorsed our efforts. Nonetheless, even in the face of such seemingly insurmountable odds, we knew that legalizing marij

Time To Destroy the Stigma

  CANNABIS CULTURE AND PARENTING – THE STONER MOM CLN -  Let’s put it out that there is nothing wrong with relaxing by having a drink or however many. Parenting is hard and no one is calling healthy vices wrong. Whatever any person needs to do to take the edge off of long day being caregiver, is supported as self care from this author. This is not “ Wine   culture is wrong and   cannabis culture   is right.” This is also not a defence of addiction. The last few years it’s become a common Mom trope that “ Your the reason Mommy drinks. ” It’s a joke, a fun little reason to explain why you enjoy having a drink or two at night. Frankly, we all know parenting is hard work. Being the primary caregiver is a tough, stressful and demanding job. So why is there still a stigma about a parent smoking? Even in 2021 people still side eye any parent who admits they smoke  cannabis . While it’s perfectly fine for someone to have a glass of wine while cooking dinner or giving a child a bath. It’s not
