Nebraska and Oklahoma have filed a federal lawsuit against Colorado, urging the feds to shut down Colorado’s marijuana industry that they say is bleeding over into their state and costing their taxpayers millions.
Which would be valid if cops in those states weren’t bringing it on themselves by profiling Colorado drivers, pulling people over for made-up infractions and busting people for minor amounts that they probably wouldn’t have searched for in the past. Oh, and don’t think for a second that these cops – all of which are milking their department overtime pay for court appearances – mind the busts at all. Basically: they’ve brought the “problem” on themselves, are personally reaping financial benefit for it, and now want Colorado taxpayers to chip in to pay for their scam.

Big Pharma Buys Republican Congressman, Denies D.C. Weed Legalization

By Jack Daniel on December 15, 2014 Follow that story, Legalize It, Legislation

In a move that political pundits and cable news carnival barkers are calling a “bi-partisan victory” the U.S. Senate narrowly avoided another damaging government shutdown by passing a last-minute multilayered spending bill over the weekend to keep the gears turning in Washington D.C. until at least September of next year.
To see just how convoluted and counterproductive our political process has become, you need look no further than this spending bill, and buried deep within in it, one Republican’s response to the weed legalization movement that he sees surging through state politics, including the nation’s capital.

Last week, we noted that marijuana businesses were embracing Black Friday, with The Grass Station leading the charge via $50 ounces for the first sixteen customers on November 26-28. And while the promotion was presumably aimed at local customers, the whole “Green Friday” concept definitely got national exposure.

How to get rich quick from the marijuana boom without having anything to do with marijuana? Sell someone a pot-oriented domain name for big bucks!

St. Louis city council members will hold a marijuana town-hall forum later this month at Harris-Stowe State University to discuss the possibility of decriminalizing cannabis.

The meeting is set for March 24.

Teen parents arrested after allegedly getting 23-month-old stoned

By William Breathes on December 16, 2013 News, Say what?

We really want to think this story is fake, because nobody can be so stupid as to force their 23-month-old baby a hit off of their weed pipe, right?
Because police in Mayville, N.Y. say two teen parents did exactly that while baby’s grandfather sat by and watched. Chautauqua County sheriff’s arrested 17-year-old Jessica Kelsey and 18-year-old George Kelsey earlier this month on charges of reckless endangerment and endangering the welfare of a child. Both were arraigned Friday, held on a $20,000 bond.

Michigan doctor warns of potential “overdosing” on medical marijuana

By Jack Daniel on July 29, 2013 Medical, Say what?

Quack.

Among the many natural benefits associated with medicating with marijuana is the sheer lack of detrimental side effects like you see at the end of every prescription drug commercial. But in a half-baked attempt to combat a recent string of favorable headlines for cannabis research, those opposed to the plant are issuing a stern new warning to anyone who smokes (or is even thinking of smoking) pot.
Abdominal cramping, power-puking, and the need for a hot shower – this, they say, is what you are in for if you choose to smoke weed. The prohibitionists are right about one thing; you might need a hot shower after trying to wrap your head around their latest attempt at reasoning.
