With the debate over medical marijuana heating up, some argue that cannabis is safer than most prescription drugs. Dr. Michael Hart of London, Ontario is one of a few physicians in Canada that have chosen to voice their support for medical marijuana. Under a new nationwide program introduced in April, doctors can write cannabis recommendations for patients who they feel might benefit from the drug. Some, like Dr. Hart, have already set up practices centered around the alternative treatment. However, [...]
As Washington lawmakers struggle to find ways to balance the national budget, a significant source of revenue may be burning away right before their eyes. The federal legalization of marijuana would offer a large new revenue stream, according to research from the Cato Institute, a libertarian think tank. “We don’t know the size of the marijuana market right now, and we certainly don’t know what would happen to the price and the demand for marijuana under different levels of legalization,” [...]
![Worst Anti-Marijuana Campaign Since Reefer Madness Hits Australia [VIDEO]](http://weedfinder.com/dash/news/files/2016/02/hqdefault-228x160.jpg)
This is the worst anti-drug campaign we’ve seen, but it is also the most hilarious. “Stoner Sloth” is a series of videos purportedly meant to illustrate the horrors of marijuana to impressionable teens. The videos star people in large sloth costumes struggling through various life events due to how high they are. At the end of each ad – after the featured sloth has had trouble in class or embarrassed itself at dinner – the tagline “You’re Worse On Weed” is plastered across the [...]
A new study has shown that pharmaceutical drugs cause more overdoses and more deaths than all of the illegal drugs on the market combined. According to the government’s own statistics, listed on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) website, deaths relating to pharmaceutical drugs rose to roughly 23,000 last year, which accounts for over half of the total overdose deaths in the country for that time period. Additionally, a recent study conducted by researchers with the University of Virginia, University of [...]
For some bizarre reason, there is not a state in the US that recognizes Autism as a qualifying condition to use cannabis medically, except in the case of California where doctors can prescribe cannabis to anyone they feel will benefit medicinally. That’s not to say that activists in some states aren’t fighting and working hard to add Autism to the list, but with the endless stream of anecdotal and peer-reviewed evidence that proves that Autistic people function better using cannabis, it [...]
Alex Impey is breaking the law selling his customers marijuana, but as long as he keeps hearing stories that the drug is helping them cope with pain, he couldn’t care less. And business for medicinal marijuana is booming, with Mr Impey telling Daily Mail Australia he receives 20 new requests for help each week at his hemp store, Gnostic Hemporium, on the NSW Central Coast, north of Sydney. ’I’ve got people coming in all the time, who have everything from [...]
Vermont Governor Peter Shumlin said on Thursday he would seek to legalize marijuana through the legislative process, instead of through the ballot box, for the first time in the United States. In his State of the State address, the Democratic governor said more than 80,000 Vermonters reported using marijuana last year, contributing to a black market. He said legislators needed to proceed step by step to regulate marijuana. “That’s why I will work with you to craft the right bill [...]
Oh happy day. Texas now has a legal marijuana market, in which marijuana can be grown and sold without the feds swooping in all stealth-like. But unfortunately — at least for most of you Texas’ potheads — that Lone Star legal weed will only be permitted on Native American reservations. (It’s okay — still we’re secretly hopeful, too.) In one of the coolest marijuana moves by the feds to date, the U.S. Department of Justice announced last week that Native [...]
