And not everyone has the finest yard soil. It's going to come down to convenience, as with Tomatoes and other fruiting plants.

Let me guess: he gets a fuckton of money in donations from prison and police unions? At least there's no chance this guy will be nominated. He's a Yankee stereotype, which most base voters hate.

It's like he knows he's not going to win the nomination. Who writes off Colorado a year before the election? That's insane. It might not make a difference in a solid red state like Alaska but taking a hardline stance against an extremely popular policy in an important swing state seems like a really, really bad idea.

Newt Gingrich also "ran for president" for about a while. His campaign spent the money from donors very responsibly: quote:Meanwhile, the campaign itself was bleeding cash it didn’t have, in part to pay for chartered flights to accommodate Callista’s demand that Newt be home every night.

State seizes 11-year-old, arrests his mother after he defends medical marijuana during a school presentationquote:On March 24, cannabis oil activist Shona Banda‘s life was flipped upside-down after her son was taken from her by the State of Kansas. The ordeal started when police and counselors at her 11-year-old son’s school conducted a drug education class. Her son, who had previously lived in Colorado for a period of time, disagreed with some of the anti-pot points that were being made by school officials. “My son says different things like my ‘Mom calls it cannabis and not marijuana.’ He let them know how educated he was on the facts,” said Banda in an exclusive interview with BenSwann.com. Banda successfully treated her own Crohn’s disease with cannabis oil. That'll show 'em.

Warrants need to be something that require months worth of documentation and court appearances to obtain. It is obscene how quickly they can get them for the most minute of things, things that aren't even legal transgressions.

Isn't that getting into false advertising territory? I thought they had to call unproven snake oil like that something like "natural male enhancement" and not make any actual claims about treating ED.

It's trying to make people think that the pills will make their dick bigger.

Very happy in my case http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/ct-drug-policy-reform-met-20150419-story.htmlquote:The Cook County state's attorney's office says it is changing the way it prosecutes low-level drug offenses, including dismissal of misdemeanor marijuana cases. "If someone is caught with a misdemeanor amount of marijuana, the state's attorney's office will no longer prosecute that case," office spokeswoman Sally Daly said Sunday.

I guess this is old but I just saw it and didn't see it get posted here, it's a video of Obama saying generally good and sane things about the drug war for a whole 10 minutes. http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/wonkblog/wp/2015/03/26/barack-obama-talks-drug-reform-with-the-creator-of-the-wire/ Watching that video would give you the misguided impression that Obama actually supports drug law reform in some tangible way. He does say "we need legislation" but I'm confused as to what legislation he's actually referring to since he has never put his weight behind anything that would actually make a tangible difference. I guess it's baby steps though, at least politicians like to talk about the issue a lot but I'm hoping to see that translate into them actually doing things. EDIT: Nevermind someone did post it earlier, just gonna leave it here anyways since it's pretty interesting and I've never seen Obama speak about that issue in that much detail.

Well looks like Missouri's medical cannabis bill is slowly lurching forwards. The only problem with it I have is the provisions to make it palatable to conservatives, especially the text of the bill which states that there may only be 9 cultivation centers and 60 dispensaries for the entire state (why?!). And it looks like the bill specifically names the diseases that may be treated with cannabis, and allows for the dept. of health to add diseases. So if you have a condition not on the list, tough poo poo you can wait! It also doesn't make insurance pay for any of it either.

So if you have a condition not on the list, tough poo poo you can wait! To be fair, that's in line with all other prescription medications. Actually, it's more lenient - the department of health can't just decide Ritalin is approved for treating gout or whatever because they feel like it. That being said, we all know that the goal here isn't to get cannabis treated like other prescription drugs.

That's also how DC's was - it was basically "there are 3 places that can sell/grow weed, and you have to have either AIDS or terminal cancer to get it". After like 10 years of being held up by congress, when it was finally unveiled, like 50 people total signed up. Then, a few months back, the city council quietly changed it to essentially "AIDS, terminal cancer, or I dunno, whatever it helps you with". I hadn't heard any numbers on that though - TapTheForwardAssist, do you have any inside info?
