I came across this documentary yesterday and you HAVE To check it out. It’s called The Union - The business behind getting high and it shows how the pot industry in British Columbia has become a multi-billion industry!

Here is the trailer:

It’s absolutley mindblowing, you have to check this one out.

The movie also shows the history of marijuana and why this plant has become illegal in the first place. Basically it takes one argument against legalization after another and blows them all to pieces by showing cold, hard facts.

Here is the link to the official site:

I came across this US congressional report on medical marijuana, this is very interesting!

The report explains the current law situation in the USA and reviews and compares the different state laws on medical marijuana. It also analyses the public opinion on medical marijuana and common arguments for and against the use of marijuana as medicine. If you’re interested in the confusing law situation in the USA then check this one out!

Why is alcohol legal and marijuana isn’t?

How can it be that something as destructive and nasty as alcohol is legal and available nearly everywhere?
How can it be that an effective medicine like marijuana is illegal almost everywhere and governments all over the world still are on a witchhunt against this herb?

Let me tell you a little story. Two days ago i went to a buddy of mine to print out some stuff for university and the upcomming test. Turns out it was his sisters birthday this day so i ended up partying with them and getting massively drunk.

Now yesterday i woke up with easily the nastiest hangover in my entire life. I woke up at around 12 and i puked throughout the entire day. I couldn’t eat anything. I couldn’t even drink water, i immediately puked it out. I felt like i was gonna die or something, it just wouldn’t get better. After a while my tongue was swollen from the dehydration and my throat was sore from all the stomache acid. Just nasty!

I guess this is how a person must feel on a heroin withdrawal, you can’t sleep, you can’t be awake, everything hurts and you puke all the time.

Finally i could muster up the strength to crawl into my kitchen and roll a nice joint. I lay in my bed and after three(!) tokes of this heaven-sent gift all my pain just went away. All the sickness was gone, the nasty body-feeling and the vomitting disappeared and my intense wish to kill myself got replaced by a pleasant, warm feeling throughout the whole body. Immediately i made myself a big-ass sandwich and munched it into me. I could eat again! I felt so gratefull for this plant, really just three tokes turned my experience from being in hell to washing all my problems away.

In retrospect i feel very sorry for violating my body like this. I will never do this again!
I haven’t decided yet if i quit alcohol alltogether or if i just limit it bigtime. But one thing is sure, i will never drink more than 2-3 beers at a party anymore.

This really got me questioning, how can this be that this nasty alcohol is legal and everyone uses it? And weed is illegal?

I can’t find an answer, really…

I have been a weedsmoker for a long time and i simply got used to the hypocricy revolving around my beloved herb. But lately i’m getting really pissed with the current situation. I feel very angry and at the same time like i can’t do anything about it.

Then today i watched this interview with Marc Emery and he said an inspiriational thing. He says in his mind marijuana is already legal and he treats it accordingly.

This blew my mind! If everyone adopted this attitude, cannabis would be legal immediately or the officials would have to lock away half of the world population!
All my life i have been hiding my love for cannabis out of fear. But i will not do this anymore. Maybe i cannot do anything on a bigger level, but i surely can talk some sense into the people i meet everyday and who still buy into government propaganda.

From now on will do exactly this and I hope you all do too!
It’s about time this madness gets to an end!
