Inspired by the founders' Federalist Papers, a group of reformers have penned a series of essays exploring the role of cannabinoids in Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.

Have you heard that truth before? – It’s something you will understand if you read any further. You see, science is a truth conspiracy. It’s a testing of reality and standing your ground when you find evidence.

In some ways, being American means confronting untruths. To voice “our” truth through language, to create a new set and setting, we turned to the founders and a collection of essays known as The Federalist Papers.

Seeing that George Soros and Sting are working together to “end the drug war” puts me in mind of a story an Army buddy who works in the DEA told me about busting in the door of a drug house only to find three occupants – the oldest four years old, having been left in charge while his “parents” went out to score meth. Yeah, drug use is a victimless crime – if you ignore the victims.

Das ist jetzt fast ein Jahr her, es gab einfach kein Geld, um sowas selbst zu machen. Mittlerweile ist Geld für ein paar Busbanner da.

Pot is in the air here on the shores of San Francisco Bay. Not in the smoke that drifts between the cafes, second-hand shops and indie music stores of legendary Haight-Ashbury. But in the headlines of local newspapers, the posters plastered on phone booths and the ads now airing on the radio.

It has been two months since a proposal to legalize marijuana was added to California’s fall referendum ballot, and the debate on the subject is in full swing. A similar vote crashed and burned in the 1970s, but proponents feel that this time they could win. Last week, councillors across the water made Oakland the state’s first city to formally endorse the move, and the latest polls show public opinion is almost evenly divided.

The newest survey measuring attitudes about the legalization of marijuana use in California was conducted during the week of May 9, which featured Governor Schwarzenegger's promise of a budget massacre because of a rapidly climbing deficit.

The poll by the Public Policy Institute of California shows a dead heat, with 49-percent of likely voters in favor of the legalization issue which will appear on the November ballot and 48-percent opposed.

Bayern ist für gewöhnlich bekannt für seine schönen Landschaften und gutem Bier. Leider gibt es in dieser Gegend auch eine sehr hohe Repression – und dadurch viel mehr Personen, die ein Problem mit ihrem Drogenkonsum bekommen als zum Beispiel in Tschechien. Dies belegen leicht nachvollziehbare Statistiken und genau das hat Martin Steldinger die Drogenbeauftragte Mechthild Dyckmans, Mitglied der christlichen Fraktion in der FDP, auf Abgeordnetenwatch gefragt.

I doubt the first pot pioneers in Humboldt County, referred to as “back-to-the-landers” during the late 1960s, realized they might someday sow the seeds for an industry which could financially bail out the state of California.

In a delightful, ironic twist, those intrepid pioneers who fled the establishment to seek a simpler way of life must now re-establish contact with the “man” if they want to survive legalization and maintain their way of life.
