Word of Surrender Uttering from Christie`s Cannabis Church Camp

Congregation, friends and family have mixed feelings about the surprise plea bargain acceptance.

(COTTAGE GROVE, Ore.) - An email was just received from Share Christie, wife of Reverend Roger Christie, founding minister of The Hawaii Cannabis Ministries and healer of the Oklevueha NAC branch of Hawaii, announcing that this coming Friday, Roger intends on withdrawing his "not guilty" plea.

He is expected to enter a plea of guilty to pending charges of "marijuana trafficking" which has kept him detained in federal corrections for more than 3 years.

Another Victory Brings Hope to Rev. Roger & Share Christie of THC Ministry

Roger & Share Christie are the founding Reverends of "The Hawaii Cannabis Ministry".

(COTTAGE GROVE, Ore.) - The THC Ministry in Hawaii was raided more than 3 1/2 years ago by federal authorities. Both Roger & Share Christie and a dozen congregation members were arrested. Most were released within hours, including Reverend Christie's wife Share, but the Reverend Roger Christie has been federally detained since the arrest.

The allegation is that, as a promoter of "marijuana sacrament" and his religious teaching that include cannabis as sacrament, Christie himself is a threat to Hawaiian society.

Diabetic Neuropathy: Marijuana Gives Good Relief

Many medical reports say it really works.

(PORTLAND, Ore.) - On Sept 16 2013, I wrote and posted Marijuana: The Next Diabetes Drug, with the subtitle, Is Marijuana good for Diabetic Neuropathy Pain? Here is the answer.

Patient comments were that: "Marijuana alleviates my pain," and "I started smoking marijuana to help my pain and it cured my Diabetes". With these two comments, I decided that I must browse the web to see if anybody else found that marijuana really did alleviate the Diabetes neuropathy pain.

Oregon: Two Marijuana/Hemp Initiative Petition Drives Start Strong

Marijuana legalization in Oregon could be here before you know it!

(PORTLAND, Ore.) - The national wave of marijuana law reform is gaining momentum every day, and Oregon is not being left out! More than 30,000 people came to Kelley Point Park on September 7 and 8 for the ninth annual Hempstalk Festival, and more than 5,000 of them signed two marijuana initiative petitions while they were there.

"Marijuana prohibition does not work and is expensive to maintain," Paul Stanford said. "We must move forward on a better path for hemp and marijuana in Oregon."

Marijuana: The Next Diabetes Drug

Is marijuana good for diabetic neuropathy pain? Here's the answer!

(PORTLAND, Ore.) - When I saw on CNN the story represented in the title, from TIME magazine (5-23-2013), it really rocked me.

I knew marijuana was good for about 40 disparate diseases but this was a real shock. The story originated in the American Journal of Medicine (AJM), by Dr. Murray Mittleman, of Harvard Medical School, and quotes three prior studies reporting almost the same. To quote, “Toking up may help marijuana users to stay slim and lower their risk of developing diabetes..."

My Personal Hero & Inspiration: The Girl Who Won My Heart

This little girl is a testament to the healing power of Cannabis.

(PORTLAND, Ore.) - Out from a crowd of thousands, a sweet yet very determined young lady came up to me and said, "Excuse me Cannabis Lady, but I want you to know that I Love you because cannabis is and has been saving my life from cancer."

Mykayla Comstock is a very special and beautiful miracle of a child, born on June 20th 2005. She's a very happy and seemingly healthy little girl, whom I had the pleasure of not only meeting, but getting to know during the 2013 Portland Hempstalk in Oregon.

Marijuana vs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for PTSD and other Mental Disorders

Pharmacotherapy vs Psychotherapy

(PORTLAND, Ore.) - This article was prompted by a book review by Eric R. Kandel in the New York Times (9-8-2013). The book title appears to be “The Age of Insight: The Quest to Understand the Unconscious in Art, Mind and Brain from Vienna 1900- Present”. Dr. Kandel of Columbia University is the author of the book.

The reason I am writing this article is to compare the CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) with marijuana therapy.

Marijuana Ignorance and Marijuana Laws

Dr. Mark Kleiman scores financially Big Time!

(PORTLAND, Ore.) - These people know nothing about marijuana use and marijuana users.

I was under the impression that the epidemic of “reefer madness” had subsided until I read the NYT article that “US Won’t Sue to Reverse States Legalization of Marijuana” (8-28-2013) and then the story of Dr. Kleiman totally snookering Washington State’s marijuana advisory board half-wits on how to regulate marijuana for a total of about $800,000 with probably more costs to come at $292/per hour.
