THCF`s Paul Stanford Arrested for Filing Taxes Late

"This is absolutely a case of looking for a reason to arrest."

(PORTLAND, Ore.) - Every arrest of a lawbreaker makes a big difference to the state of Oregon- every dime collected, a huge relief to the tax payers. That’s what one would hope, that the powers-that-be had the best interests of we average citizens at heart. Not so, where Portlander Paul Stanford is concerned.

That rose-colored version of life in Oregon is far off, proven by the odd announcement recently by Attorney General John Kroger about his "big catch of the day".

For those who want to nit pick, I know all about Estrogen, Progesterone, Soybean products and Tamoxiphen-- so adjust your girdles and keep reading.

(MOLALLA, Ore.) - Several years ago I wrote an article Endometriosis: Marijuana Treatment for Salem-News.com. One of the comments/responses was that it was also effective for HOT FLASHES.

Medical Marijuana, Marinol and Ignorant Marijuanaphobes in the Legislatures

Dr. Leveque responds to proposed restrictions.

Pro-Cannabis Supporters Rally for Medical Marijuana Rights in Oregon

Medical marijuana activists rallied at the Capitol against proposed 'restrictive' legislation

(SALEM, Ore.) - About 75 people stood outside Oregon’s capitol last Wednesday in the freezing cold, demanding their health rights are respected by the legislature.

Before the bills hit the Legislature, controversy was already showing it's antagonistic head.

Military Service, VA Mistreatment, Losing Battles with Cops and Getting Screwed Again by Mortgage Companies

I don’t know if a person gets used to being screwed over and over again. I sure don’t think so.

(MOLALLA, Ore.) - When I volunteered for the Army in 1944, I wrongly assumed that I would be treated like a human volunteer – wrong. We were all treated like peons by our immediate superiors whether they had one stripe or 4 stars. It wasn’t fun getting shot at.
