Attention: You are now free to float about the cabin.I agree, alcohol makes you angry, to quote Bill Hicks once again; "I have never seen two people on pot get in a fight because it is fucking IMPOSSIBLE."
Well, not yet, but maybe someday - that is, if Mason Tvert has anything to say about.
Tvert, a crusader for legalizing marijuana, has called for pot-smoking lounges in the nation's airports. His reason for doing goes beyond his cannabis liberation mission: He wants to help make flying safer.
"There's been this growing trend of alcohol-related air rage," he said Tuesday, alluding to episodes of drunken passengers creating in-flight disturbances.

Submitted by Phusion on Tue, 04/22/2008 - 03:54CelebStoner has some coverage of a 4-20 party in Boulder, Colorado that puffed its way up to 10,000 people. They have a picture and some video of the event, here's a little snippet:
Stoners celebrated the 4/20 holiday yesterday with smoke-outs all over the U.S. and Canada. But no event was bigger than Boulder's, which boasted a crowd of 10,000 at Colorado University.
Meanwhile, in Santa Cruz, thousands converged at the UC campus on Porter Meadow, defying university officials who had hoped to restirct access and reduce the crowd. "This is an event that's unsanctioned and unwelcomed by the university," says UCSC spokesperson Jim Burns. "It's based on an illegal activity that has become large in recent years. and we're attempting to send a signal that it's not welcome."
Check out their live footage from Santa Cruz as well.
Pot Club Opens In Ft. Collins, CO
Submitted by Phusion on Wed, 04/02/2008 - 04:50Colorado voters legalized the medical use of marijuana in 2000 when they passed Amendment 20.Cooperative cops? Excellent! For a list of medical marijuana laws, visit NORML's state-by-state guide.
Patients interested in medical marijuana must first get a doctor's prescription and a state-issued registration card with the name of their caregiver before they can legally grow, buy or use marijuana to relieve their symptoms.
"We have to be very diligent in following the way the law is written as closely as possible," Fleming said.
The couple serves as caregivers to about 10 patients, Fleming said, but he expects that to increase as word spreads.
Fort Collins police said they were unaware of the new business, but as long as the Flemings comply with state law there is no problem.
"If this grower is certified, then they can grow it for other legal users," aid Rita Davis, spokeswoman for Fort Collins Police Services.
Medical Marijuana Store To Open in Ft. Collins
Submitted by dreagen on Wed, 04/02/2008 - 02:50The Denver Post has an article about a new Medical Marijuana dispensary that is not just for Medical Marijuana. This store will give you more options that it seams is hard for a lot of doctors to suggest.
EnerChi opens Monday and will offer healing therapies such as hypnosis, acupuncture and organic medical marijuana, as well as yoga.
I have had a lot of these suggested by not medical professionals and I have tried a lot of alternative healing. It sounds to me like a one stop shop for alternative healing methods.
"We want to make sure the quality of care is there," Fleming said. "This is important to us and to the people who come to us."
I wish there were more people out there with this type of attitude.
Medical Marijuana Payback Burns Colorado Police
Submitted by Phusion on Thu, 01/17/2008 - 18:45Thanks to a referendum passed in 2000, Article XVIII, Section 14 of the Colorado State Constitution stipulates that "any property... used in connection with the medical use of marijuana... shall not be harmed, neglected, injured, or destroyed while in the possession of state or local law enforcement officials."Oh boy. This is a pretty good read, especially if you're in Colorado and use medical Marijuana.
Not being equipped with the growroom or know-how to maintain them, Aurora police simply uprooted the plants and threw them in the evidence room. Det. Shannon Lucy, an Aurora police spokesperson, illustrated her department's cultivation ignorance, explaining that they kept only the leaves, which she called the "only thing of value," not the buds in which most of the active ingredient, THC, resides.

Submitted by Phusion on Fri, 11/30/2007 - 03:25The Masters are the founders of PVMC, and like Sy Sperling of the Hair Club for Men, they’re not just upper management. They’re also clients. James possibly suffers from porphyria, an enzyme abnormality, which causes him severe nausea and once even put him in a coma. Lisa has herniated discs and joint swelling and spasms. As medical marijuana providers, their own run-in with the law in part inspired them to establish the dispensary, after patients outgrew meeting space at the Alley Cat Café in Fort Collins.Alright! Colorado is stepping up to the plate, has anyone seen, heard of or visited the Alley Cat Cafe in Ft. Collins?
Medical Marijuana Access Eases
Submitted by Phusion on Sun, 11/25/2007 - 01:09The ruling endorses a settlement reached between the health department and attorneys for AIDS patient Damien LaGoy, who sued after his caregiver request was denied in May based on the five-patient rule.In states without medical Marijuana programs, patients are forced to get their medicine on the streets, is that what our government really wants? Colorado has been moving forward in regard to their treatment of medical Marijuana patients, kudos to them. Are there any readers in Denver or in Colorado in general who have stories about mmj access?
The denial forced him to buy marijuana on the street, LaGoy said.
"I was in a very dangerous situation," LaGoy said at a news conference Monday. "I was trying to get medical marijuana from some of the darkest spots in town, risking my life at times. I actually have been robbed once trying to find medical marijuana. Also, you never know what you're getting."
