We mentioned this earlier this year, but now there’s a date. Come January 1st, 2012, the Netherlands has banned tourists from its world famous coffee shops. But, hold up for a moment.

In 2006 Rhode Island legalized medical cannabis. Since then, data says there has been no increase in teenage cannabis smoking as many had feared. I’m not sure why people would think medical cannabis would lead to more teenagers smoking, but it doesn’t–at least in Rhode Island. Lets look at the basis for the claims and [...]
A study published for the British Journal of Psycho pharmacology in September of this year (via NORML) claims that after examining over 40 years of the “relative physical, psychological and social harms” of cannabis and alcohol in the United Kingdom, alcohol is more than twice as harmful as the illegal cannabis.

Oh well, at least we’re giggling with delight as our brain regions fall out of sync. Learn [...]
A lot of us started toking at an early age. As such, we were doping our dopamine with THC before our brain had fully matured. It’s that premise Dr. James Kennedy, director of the neuroscience research department at Toronto’s Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH), uses to state: “The research I’ve done is on [...]
The U.S Attorney’s office has decided to raid state-approved medical marijuana cannabis dispensaries. The U.S. Justice Department has basically switched their initial acquiescence of state-approved medical cannabis use, to one of militant disdain for any dispensary that may be selling to recreational users. If you’ve ever spent time with one of the (reportedly) million California [...]
