This Monday, New Jersey State Senator Nicholas Scutari is planning to announce a bill that would legalize recreational marijuana in the state. "The national trend is toward legalization," said Scutari, who has been advocating for legalization for years. “It's absolutely necessary to save our neighborhoods from drug dealers. And we can use the tax revenue. And people are smoking it anyway.”

If passed, the bill would make New Jersey the ninth state to allow recreational pot use. The bill may have a chance of passing both chambers of the state's Democratic-majority legislature, but Gov.

Georgia currently has over 250 police officers who have received “drug recognition expert” training to identify drivers who are under the influence of drugs.

Is current cannabis cultivation sustainable over the long term? What can we do to help in any way? Let’s go over some of the problems and some of the solutions to make our crops ready for a future with a shortage of energy and raw materials. Cannabis is nowadays cultivated using techniques that do not guarantee long-term sustainability.

As legal weed becomes more and more prevalent in the U.S., so do the options for gifs for those of us who like to consume cannabis.  Being a regular cannabis consumer myself, it is always exciting for me to see what is new and what is best out there on the market for gifts.  While I have done gifting guides in the past, this one is particularly special to me as I am a mom of 3 young boys and have been at the stoner mom lifestyle for quite some time now.

You might recall my canna-quest from my Week 1 post, but this week includes the (un)official holiday for cannabis consumers, 420 (or April 20, for those of you not familiar with the cannabis culture).  I am also still vaping and smoking the 14 samples of cannabis flower for the 2017 Cultivation Classic.  Here is how I walked 25.6 miles from Sunday April 16 through Saturday, April 22.Sunday, 6.3 miles. Today I am judging sample 6430 from my judge’s kit.

The first time Susan smoked pot, she was 16. It was the fall of 1965, and she was hanging out in the lobby of the newly built Inn on the Park, where singer/songwriter Bob Dylan was holed up while in town for a concert at Massey Hall.
“You know, the one where he went electric, which pissed a lot of people off?” Susan says. “So my girlfriend and I were downstairs, and Bob Dylan comes down and brings us a joint.

In Germany, 4/20 has historically been a difficult and problematic date. With the rare exception of  Nazi-gathering political events on 4/20 (Hitler was born April 20th, 1889), the overwhelming majority of Germans consider celebrations on this date to be politically incorrect. Nevertheless, the German Hemp Association (DHV) has been trying to establish a new 420 culture in the form of regular cannabis events in Germany.
