Not Cocaine, Nor Heart Disease

Marijuana never killed anybody at any dose.

(MOLALLA, Ore.) - Like everyone else, I've been waiting nervously for the Los Angeles Coroner's Office, for their report. Now that it is here, I am embarrassed for whomever released the report and their amateurish lack of evaluations of the results.

Jackson Browne Adds Balance

If only people who think like Jackson Browne were in charge...

(SALEM) - Celebrities and entertainers often enter politics, as we all well know. Some do it for personal reasons, and others only ended up in the positions they hold because their lives are dedicated to humanity.

Smoking, Drinking & Drugs
