After meeting with Sessions, Colorado gov thinks AG unlikely to crack down on marijuana
Gov. John Hickenlooper says on "Meet the Press Daily" he thinks AG Jeff Sessions isn't going to target states with recreational marijuana, but he won't "encourage" marijuana biz "in any way"
Let's hope Hickenloper is a good reader of people's intentions!

The National District Attorneys Association Is Lying About Marijuana
A recently released white paper published by the National District Attorneys Association is calling for the federal government to strictly enforce anti-cannabis laws in states that have regulated its production and distribution for either medical or recreational purposes.

Pro-pot provisions survive spending deal negotiations
Capitol Hill’s marijuana advocates are cheering provisions of this week’s 2017 spending deal that protect certain states that have legalized the drug.

Louisiana chief justice blasts 'ridiculous' 18-year sentence for marijuana
Louisiana Supreme Court upholds 18 year prison term for possession of 18 grams(!!!), Chief Justice Bernette Johnson calls it "ridiculous" and "outrageous". At least one of them has some damn sense.
Estimates imprisonment of this individual will cost taxpayers ~$23,000 per year. Louisiana consistently ranks in the 10 poorest states in the country.

Was Cannabis the Real Reason Britain Colonised Australia?
Jiggens believes the original plan for New South Wales was to develop a new hemp colony, the resettlement of convicts was just an elaborate cover. In those days, cannabis wasn’t about marijuana; it was all about hemp. The long-stem fibres of the plant were used for sails, cables and rigging. For a first-rate warship, hemp was of great importance. Hemp was to them, as oil is to us today.
The British experimented with hemp colonies in India, but due to an error in cannabis taxonomy, they were unaware that they were trying to turn “dope into rope.” Ganga (the plant they were growing in India) is not a fibre crop it’s a crop that produces the drug marijuana. Banks seeing the intoxicating the drug has supplied it to the poet Coleridge. Not only was Banks a substantial cultivator of the drug cannabis, he was also the first recorded drug dealer in Britain and Australia.

Family: Utah man dies in Philly after double-lung transplant denial at home for smoking pot

A Utah man who was denied a double lung transplant in Salt Lake City because he had smoked marijuana, according to his family, died in Philadelphia on Saturday, several weeks after receiving new organs at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania.
HANCEY FAMILY PHOTO
Riley Hancey was hospitalized for a lung infection in December, 2016.
Riley Hancey, 20, smoked a joint with friends on Thanksgiving, his father, Mark, said in an interview. The next day, the avid skier was stricken with pneumonia. By mid-December he was on life-support in a University of Utah hospital intensive care unit.
According to Mark Hancey, a surgeon at Utah refused to perform the operation because THC, the psychoactive substance in cannabis, was detected in Riley's blood.
A spokeswoman for the University of Utah health system, which does far fewer lung transplants than Penn Medicine, said she could not directly comment on the case. In a statement, the hospital said: "We do not transplant organs in patients with active alcohol, tobacco or illicit drug use or dependencies until these issues are addressed."
Penn, however, agreed to perform the surgery, the family said. Riley Hancey flew to Philadelphia on March 11 and waited for organs to become available. He received his new lungs on March 29.
In the end, a suspected fungal infection killed Riley, Mark Hancey said. A Penn spokeswoman did not return a call requesting comment.
"Penn did everything in their power," Hancey said in an interview Monday. "They did everything humanly possible, and they did it with such love and professionalism. They cared from the bottom of their hearts."
You wonder if the longer wait for the surgery was the reason this man died? So rediculiius to originally refuse the transplant for this young man.

That may be one of the scummiest things I've ever read of a hospital doing. This isn't even a strike at pot users, this was an innocent kid who smoked a holiday joint before ever knowing he was sick. For that, he needed to die?
Human compassion at its finest, Dr. Hancey. Truly a credit to your profession and the oath you took.

Illinois lawmakers ponder proposal to legalize marijuana
By Robert McCoppin •
chicagotribune.com
As the czar of Colorado's marijuana program, Barbara Brohl says she is neither pro- nor anti-pot.
But she believes the legal market for the drug is eating into the black market, funding drug abuse treatment and prevention and providing a safer product.
The roughly $200 million in tax revenue from more than $1 billion in sales last year funds all that, she says, plus provides $40 million for schools.
Brohl spoke Wednesday to a panel of Illinois lawmakers considering a proposal to make marijuana use legal in the state. While sponsors say the bill won't get a vote this legislative session, they're beginning a series of hearings on how to craft the law.
As proposed, the law would allow possession of up to one ounce of pot by people 21 and over. Driving under the influence would remain illegal, and smoking in public would be prohibited.
"Prohibition doesn't work," state Sen. Heather Steans, a Chicago Democrat, said. Taxing and regulating pot, she said, would create jobs and generate an estimated $350 million to $700 million a year in tax revenues for the debt-ridden state.
The hearing generated some hard feelings by marijuana opponents who weren't allowed to testify. Riverside police Chief Tom Weitzel represented the Illinois Association of Chiefs of Police, which opposes the measure.
"I don't know why they didn't reach out before this and ask us for our opinion and see if there's some compromise," he said, "because our officers are the ones doing the enforcement."
Sponsors said opponents and advocates would have ample opportunity to testify at future hearings.
Brohl, who heads Colorado's Department of Revenue, said there are about 3,000 licensed marijuana businesses in her state, about half medical and half recreational. License holders undergo extensive background checks, she said, and individuals are also allowed to grow up to six plants for their own use.
Some Republican lawmakers on the panel expressed concerns about public safety and how the industry operates largely with cash, because federal regulations discourage normal banking and credit card use.
Peter Bensinger, a former administrator of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, cited federal statistics showing marijuana use among teenagers initially increased 20 percent in the first two years after legalization in Colorado, compared with the two years prior. Bensinger also cited a near-doubling of emergency department visits and an increase in traffic deaths related to marijuana.
But a more recent and much larger state survey found that use among teens was essentially unchanged, and Brohl said the increase in hospital visits may relate to a greater willingness to admit use.
Marijuana remains illegal under federal law. The Obama administration generally allowed state marijuana programs to operate, while officials under President Donald Trump have signaled they are open to medical marijuana, which is legal in Illinois for those who qualify, but not recreational use.
The hearing came the day before April 20, when some marijuana users smoke in public gatherings in support of legalization.

"The Trump Administration has not yet changed our strategy, because there's been a lot of rhetoric but not a lot of action," says Patrick Rea, CEO and co-founder of Boulder, Colorado-based Canopy Accelerator, an investment fund for early stage cannabis companies. It has invested over $6.5 million since early 2015 in more than 64 companies.

State Supreme Court Justice Just Called For The Release Of All Those In Prison For Cannabis
TOPICS:CannabisJustin GardnerPrison
MAY 22, 2017
By Justin Gardner
Amid the seemingly constant bad news about rising international tensions and the crushing police/surveillance state at home, one bright spot remains. Cannabis decriminalization keeps on sweeping the U.S. – as, according to polls, almost no one believes cannabis should be illegal.
It is well known that the war on drugs serves no purpose but to enrich and empower the police state and the corporatocracy. On the other hand, cannabis legalization has provided tremendous benefits to the people.
Medical cannabis is proving to successfully treat an ever-growing number of physical and mental ailments, without the side harmful side-effects of pharmaceutical products. While it is not a panacea, medical cannabis is giving life to children where before they were expected to die, allowing children to finally stop having debilitating seizures, and allowing war veterans to find treatment for PTSD where none other exists, to name just a few.
Freedom is even greater in the eight states that have legalized recreational cannabis use. If this weren’t enough, legal pot is providing incredible economic boosts, such as in Colorado where the cannabis industry is boosting the economy more than any other industry.
More and more of those in government are getting it, and they’re not afraid to speak out or even act in the noblest of manners, such as Georgia Rep. Allen Peake who skirts the law to distribute Colorado medical cannabis to suffering children in his state.
Add Ohio Supreme Court Justice William O’Neill to the list. In a recent speech, the enlightened judge said cannabis should be legalized and all non-violent cannabis offenders should be released from jail.
“The time has come for new thinking,” O’Neill said. “We regulate and tax alcohol and tobacco and imprison people for smoking grass.”
O’Niel says legalization and prisoner release would generate $350 million that would be used to treat drug addiction instead of criminalizing it, as well as create a mental health network to combat addiction.
“Treat addiction like the disease it is in the name of compassion,” he said.
O’Neill is pondering a run for Ohio governor, but won’t make a decision until the end of the year. Even if he doesn’t run, his remarks inject some much-needed substance into the race, and should spur the candidates to put their positions on the record.
Ohio legalized medical pot in Sept. 2016, although legal sales won’t begin for at least a year. Ohio will have dispensaries and cultivation centers to provide medical products for a host of qualifying conditions.
O’Neill’s call to legalize all cannabis use, like alcohol and tobacco, and release non-violent cannabis “offenders” is a natural progression in rational thought. As far as drugs go, we know that alcohol and tobacco use kills hundreds of thousands of people every year, while no one has ever been known to die from the use of cannabis.
How can the State logically defend the legal status of more dangerous drugs (with little to no medical benefit) while a harmless, medically beneficial one is illegal? If there is no rational basis, and cannabis was completely legalized, then it follows that there is no rational basis for holding non-violent users and sellers of a natural plant in jail.
Pretty simple, but too many politicians still cling to the injustice of prohibition, even though we know the drug war was started to oppress minorities and suppress political dissent. They continue supporting the War on Drugs even though it has not achieved any of its stated goals, after five decades and $1 trillion being spent.
If Justice O’Neill ends up running for governor, his chances will certainly be boosted by calling for the freedom and economic boost that is legal cannabis.

there could be issue with people tending plants that high n the air.... ladders would certainly be needed... dirt too, it is much better to grow in dirt than water for terpene sake... great idea though and makes legalization look available... what will legal states do with these grow towers... 30 lb harvests, Bring It On!
in court, but judge i was using a Grow Tower so that makes 30 pound pulls OK
seaofgreens
My Mind Is Free
No idea where these numbers come from:
"Let’s take one square foot for example:
A grower can grow about nine marijuana plants on the ground, which comes out to about 10 pounds.
Using the Croptower, a grower can grow 104 plants in the same space, which comes out to 30 pounds."
So if I get this right, you somehow put 9 plants on the ground into a square foot of space and end up with ten pounds?
In order to even get a pound per plant on a horizontal plane, each plant will take up much more than one square foot by itself...
This tower would have to put out about a third pound worth of material on each plant for every cup. Any grower can and will tell you that a plant that gives 6 oz. finished material is pretty large, and not going to physically fit those dimensions. 104 6 oz. plants? Those plants would all be massive and falling all over eachother....Maybe wet weight including the roots and all leaves?
Not only that, but a vertical hydroponic tower for growing weed surrounding a cool-tube or similar such light has been around for a long long time. I was reading about a similar idea a decade ago or more. Claiming they pulled this off NASA? Bit of a stretch by any means.

Cannabis Derivative Cannabidiol Reduces Seizures in Severe Epilepsy Disorder
http://www.prnewswire.com/news-rele...es-in-severe-epilepsy-disorder-300463552.html
After years of anecdotal claims about its benefits, the cannabis derivative cannabidiol reduced seizure frequency by 39 percent for patients with Dravet syndrome – a rare, severe form of epilepsy – in the first large-scale randomized clinical trial for the compound. The findings were published online May 24 in the New England Journal of Medicine.
"Cannabidiol should not be viewed as a panacea for epilepsy, but for patients with especially severe forms who have not responded to numerous medications, these results provide hope that we may soon have another treatment option," says lead investigator Orrin Devinsky, MD, professor of neurology, neurosurgery, and psychiatry and director of the Comprehensive Epilepsy Center at NYU Langone Medical Center. "We still need more research, but this new trial provides more evidence than we have ever had of cannabidiol's effectiveness as a medication for treatment-resistant epilepsy."

it's the " numerous medications" part there that scares the hell out of people... docotrs be like, ok- we will put them on every other medication other than cannabis and hope that the cannabis fixes everything last?!? the doctors are speaking for shareholders who make money when their drug is prescribed- they will prescribe those first and foremost...all the pateint wants is to get better and not give a crap about some shareholder who needs their drug sold
