Medical marijuana’s biggest financial backer, John Morgan, is speaking out against U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz’s stance on medical marijuana. Wasserman Schultz voted against a bill that would prevent the Drug Enforcement Administration from targeting medical marijuana operations in states where it is legal.
Wasserman Schulz released a statement over her vote, saying that she doesn’t believe “it is appropriate to limit the Executive Branch’s ability to enforce current federal law at their discretion.” In her statement, however, she also took the stance that Amendment 2 is written too broadly, using the pill-mill argument some anti-medical weed groups have been using to justify her vote against the bill.

There’s going to be a slew of reports in the next few months about marijuana-related traffic deaths increasing in the United States as the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration wraps up a three-year study on marijuana and it’s impact on drivers. And, as usual, they are likely going to claim that stoned drivers are a plague on the roads and that there are masses of red-eyed, resin-fingered pot smokers out killing people on the roadway.

An administrative law judge this week ordered the state to allow PTSD sufferers to use medical marijuana, reversing a decision by the state health-services department.
Will Humble, director of the state DHS, wrote about Wednesday’s decision by state Administrative Law Judge Thomas Shedden in his blog last week.
“I have until July 9 to either accept, reject or modify the recommended decision,” Humble wrote. “I’ll be studying the report and will make a decision after analyzing the Decision and Order.”

Tractor trailers are often used to haul hidden stashes of marijuana around the country. It’s not often, though, that you hear about them being used to grow marijuana*.
Cops in Johnson County, Texas say they spent all of last month staking out a property outside of Rio Vista, Texas that was hiding an old 18-wheeler trailer stuffed full of grow lights and 31 plants in various stages of bloom.

The first dozen headed to Gainesville hospitals last Thursday and Friday. Although the Alachua County Sheriff’s Office has yet to release the victims’ names or ages, the one thing they certainly had in common was an affinity for Spice.
Although the drug typically produces a short high that can mostly be attributed to the placebo effect, one particular strand making its way around Gainesville is particularly potent. Yesterday, a man found behind Best Buy became the 29th person to suffer from seizures and convulsions after ingesting the fake weed (that isn’t even weed) that’s popular among people on probation and others who can’t/won’t smoke actual pot (WHICH NOTABLY IS USED TO TREAT SEIZURES).
