Did Starbucks Just Issue a Worldwide Ban on Pot Advocate Kevin Saunders?

An extreme and odd decision by an entire coffee chain.

(MARINA, Calif.) - Medical pot advocate/ex-law student/erstwhile Marina mayoral candidate Kevin Saunders is no stranger to controversy—or restraining orders, for that matter. But this is one he probably didn't see coming.

Saunders says he was served (no pun intended) by Starbucks at the July 1 Marina City Council Meeting with a notice that he's been permanently banned from every Starbucks location in the world.

Marijuana: Criminalizing the Least Dangerous Substance

William Moyers and “Straight Pot Talk”... Where has he been? (Answer: Under a rock)

(PORTLAND, Ore.) - I constantly browse through any kind of reading material to search for articles referring to marijuana. I found a real corker in the Portland Tribune June 24, 2014 titled Talk Straight to Your Kids About Pot.

I was astonished to see that it was written by William Moyers. I am well acquainted with Bill Moyers and wondered if this was the same guy. It turns out, he is the eldest son of “the” Bill Moyers.

Marijuana Regulation Will Qualify for Oregon`s November Ballot

New Approach Oregon turned in at least 145,710 signatures today, more than enough to qualify

(SALEM, Ore.) - The New Approach Oregon campaign turned in at least 145,710 signatures today to the Oregon Secretary of State, more than enough to qualify a measure for the ballot to regulate marijuana.

That means Oregon voters in November 2014 can vote yes to regulate, legalize and tax marijuana. The campaign has finished collecting signatures. Anthony Johnson, Liz Kaufman and the campaign team turned in the signatures on a day that coincides with the 6-month anniversary of the start of regulated sales of marijuana in Colorado.

Medical Marijuana BLUNDER: New York`s Ridiculous Legislation

This Reefer Madness is a plan to fail, and the arrests will continue.

(PORTLAND, Ore.) - Many years ago I visited Manhattan and read the NYT magazine section. It said that 50% of its citizens should see a psychiatrist. How about them? It must be so.

Police in New York City alone spent a million hours making 440,000 marijuana arrests from 2002-2012. That’s crazy. These numbers do not lie.

Marijuana as a First Choice Drug: Unbelievable Utility and Versatility

Cannabis/Marijuana helps millions of people every day. Face it.... it works!

(PORTLAND, Ore.) - Cannabis/Marijuana (C/MJ) is effective for so many diseases and conditions that, I am constrained to write about it for the global world. Ergo, I shall write about the conditions for which C/MJ has no equal in medicine.

These conditions are those for which a patient can get a C/MJ medical-use permit. These are the main conditions, and all (or most of these) conditions are found on Granny Storm Crow’s list.

The First International Cannabis Business Conference Event

(PORTLAND, Ore.) - "The International Cannabis Business Conference will focus on the emerging cannabis industry in the United States and around the world and provide networking opportunities for entrepreneurs and business owners," said Alex Rogers, CEO of Ashland Alternative Health and Northwest Alternative Health.

"Attendees will learn about details and changes in the new Oregon dispensary laws and explore business opportunities in the ancillary fields surrounding the global cannabis industry."

Marijuana Committees and the Mexican Mafia: Are they Partners?

The marijuana business is bringing billions of dollars to the Mexican marijuana mafia.

(PORTLAND, Ore.) - It is astonishing the way efforts toward legalizing marijuana use have gone since about the 1970’s when Vietnam War Veterans brought it back home with them.

Years before that, it was Caribbean islanders and African-American musicians who carefully transmitted marijuana from New Orleans to Memphis, Chicago, Philadelphia, New York City and essentially all along the East Coast.

Done! House Blocks DEA From Targeting Medical Marijuana Dispensaries

49 Republicans and 170 Democrats approve historic amendment intended to prevent the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration from raiding state-legal medical marijuana dispensaries.

(SEATTLE) - After years of effort and six previous tries, an unprecedented victory has finally happened. Congress on Thursday night approved a measure that will prevent the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration from interfering with state medical marijuana laws.

The legislation marks the first time in history that Congress has voted in favor of ending the federal government’s war on medical marijuana patients and providers.

Medical Marijuana: Best for Anxiety and Anguish

Marijuana is a safe, effective sedative/tranquilizer.

(PORTLAND, Ore.) - There is a massive amount of vastly different medications for PTSD, most of which make no pharmacological sense at all and obviously most did not work.

In my Sep 10, 2013 article, I compared psychological therapy to pharmaceutical therapy. The only information which was divulged was that cannabis/marijuana therapy was better than either psychological or pharmacological non-cannabis/marijuana therapy.

Butane Hash Oil: What`s Going On?

BHO is the new way to medicate for many

(PORTLAND, Ore.) - Many marijuana patients are using a new process for extracting the Cannabinoids from marijuana, but some don’t seem to completely understand the safety requirements of the use of Butane for extraction.

First of all, Butane is highly volatile. Much more so than gasoline, and it is also much more explosive if there is any kind of a spark or flame nearby. This could be a gas water heater, or anything with a pilot light, or someone taking a few tokes from a joint.
