How To Recognize Zinc Deficiencies In Marijuana Plants Posted: 27 Aug 2014 12:00 PM PDT A lack of zinc can occur from time to time and the hallmark of a zinc deficiency is a collection of gnarled and twisted leaf blades. Chlorosis and the yellowing of older leaves in between the veins can also indicate a zinc deficiency. This is frequently coupled with a general pale feel to the marijuana [...]

Oregon Sheriffs Make A Large Donation To Anti-Marijuana Summit Posted: 27 Aug 2014 11:00 AM PDT Law enforcement is supposed to be impartial when enforcing Oregon laws. They are not supposed to carry out their own agendas or infuse their own political beliefs into their jobs. Unfortunately, that’s not always the case, especially when it comes to marijuana. In my home state of Oregon, the Oregon Sheriffs’ Association seems to always [...]

Does Marijuana Lower The Risk Of Domestic Violence? Posted: 27 Aug 2014 10:40 AM PDT A fact that I use often when debating someone about marijuana reform is that alcohol increases violent behavior, while marijuana does not. I have heard multiple retired cops point out that they have gone to many scenes where violence was fueled by alcohol, but have never reported to a scene where someone smoked marijuana and [...]

Federal Government To Grow 30 Times More Marijuana Posted: 27 Aug 2014 10:00 AM PDT The federal government has been growing marijuana for multiple decades at the University of Mississippi. The marijuana is grown ‘for research’ and to supply four federal medical marijuana patients. The federal government also owns several patents for marijuana. The sad irony of course being that the federal government prohibits all forms of marijuana outside of [...]

City Club Of Portland Endorses Oregon Marijuana Legalization Initiative Posted: 27 Aug 2014 09:00 AM PDT The City Club of Portland has issued endorsements for Oregon ballot measures. One of the measures they are endorsing is Measure 91 which would legalize marijuana in Oregon for people 21 and older. The City Club of Portland is very influential, and this is a huge endorsement. Combined with the endorsements that the initiative has [...]

Medical Marijuana Protest Planned For South Dakota State Fair Posted: 27 Aug 2014 08:33 AM PDT South Dakota is not a populous state, and is not considered to be a leader when it comes to marijuana reform. However, that doesn’t mean that South Dakota’s marijuana laws don’t need fixing, and it certainly doesn’t mean that there aren’t hardworking activists in the state. In fact, activists there are working very hard to [...]

Marijuana Activist Marc Emery Is A Man On A Mission Posted: 27 Aug 2014 07:29 AM PDT By Phillip Smith Canada’s “Prince of Pot” Marc Emery has finally returned to Canada after spending just over 4 ½ years in US federal prison for selling marijuana seeds over the Internet. From his base in Vancouver, BC, Emery parlayed his pot seed profits into a pro-marijuana legalization political juggernaut. Not only did the gregarious [...]

Republicans, Marijuana, And The Bump Posted: 27 Aug 2014 06:29 AM PDT Politics makes strange bedfellows, and in the 2014 election cycle the Republican Party has crawled under the covers with the medical marijuana community. It seems to be working- but not for everyone, and not unconditionally. Candidates are always looking for The Bump, that rise in polling numbers or spike in votes gained by hammering away [...]
