The Most Studied Plant on Earth
I have been one of those people saying, “If only we could get marijuana legal, we could do the research we need …!” Uh, no. There are TENS OF THOUSANDS of studies.

Jah is in I?
I found this article while studying Rastafarianism. I read it first and then absorbed the date — over eight years ago now. Such a compelling, firm message emerges at the end of the article that it just makes me shake my head in sadness to find us here eight years further down the road. There [Continue]

Not only are the people being called enthusiastic, they are CALLING BACK in appreciation and to show their [Continue]

Tim Babb on Prop 19
“Proposition 19 is a California ballot proposition which would legalize various marijuana-related activities. The latest polls show it at 51% approval, which would be just enough to get it passed, were it not for the following groups of people … A large majority of California’s population cares for hippies about as much [Continue]
