You might be a little too high if: You can’t name the three branches of government, but are intimately familiar with Doritos flavors. You know the mayor on “The Simpsons,” just not the mayor of your own hometown. You know what “4/20″ is, but can’t figure out what month it happens in without the use of your fingers. You may have forgotten about the pair of sunglasses stashed on your head, and had to get another pair for your face: [...]
![Alaska: Police Target Marijuana Activist Who Quit TV Job On-Air [VIDEO]](http://weedfinder.com/dash/news/files/2015/03/Charlo_Greene-228x160.jpg)
Remember the Anchorage newscaster who quit her job on the air and planned to devote herself to marijuana activism? Former television reporter Charlo Greene and her organization, Alaska Cannabis Club, were raided by Anchorage police, who carried out search warrants after receiving reports of illegal marijuana sales. According to the Associated Press, Greene, whose legal name is Charlene Egbe, said that the club acts as a medical marijuana dispensary. “We don’t sell any recreational marijuana. We don’t sell any medical marijuana. This [...]
The city of North Bonneville, Wash. — population 1,000 — sits along the Columbia River a stone’s throw from one of the world’s largest hydroelectric dams. On the other side of the Columbia River Gorge is the state of Oregon. It may seem an unlikely place for the nation’s first city-owned marijuana shop, which opened Saturday. The Cannabis Corner sold $8,000 worth of pot on the first day. “The economy has been tough for everybody, for small towns like this, [...]
The historic medical marijuana bill a trio of senators unveiled today has a bit of something for everyone. The bill, which activists describe as a first for the Senate, would end the federal prohibition on medical marijuana and implement a number of critical reforms that advocates of both medical and recreational marijuana have been seeking for years, according to several people familiar with the details of the proposal. It would reclassify the drug in the eyes of the Drug Enforcement Administration, allow for limited inter-state transport of the plant, [...]
CONCORD, N.H. —New Hampshire may soon join other New England states in loosening the law when it comes to marijuana possession. The Committee on Criminal Justice voted overwhelmingly Thursday to support a measure making it a violation, rather than a criminal offense, to possess a half-ounce or less of marijuana. Under current law, possession of an ounce of marijuana or less is a Class A misdemeanor that carries with it a possible year in jail, but some believe that when [...]
Texas legislator, David Simpson, is mounting a campaign to make marijuana as legal as tomatoes. Representative Simpson, in Longview, Texas, filed a bill Monday that would remove prohibition of marijuana from every Texas law on the books. House Bill 2165 would not just create a new law pertaining to certain marijuana use, it would repeal all previous laws relating to the cannabis plant by striking each reference to marijuana from Texas law. “I am proposing that this plant be regulated [...]
As of Midnight earlier today, marijuana is now legal in Washington, D.C. After Washington D.C. residents voted in support of legal pot this past Election Day, Congress attempted to block the bill by attaching preventative measures in an unrelated $1.1 trillion spending deal. However, the definition of the word “enact” gave D.C. officials a loophole in their pursuit to decriminalize weed, and as of 12:01 a.m., pot is legal there unless Congress steps up efforts to stop it. While other states with legalized [...]
Two different congressmen filed separate House bills on Friday that together would legalize, regulate and tax marijuana at the federal level, effectively ending the U.S. government’s decades-long irrational prohibition of the plant. Rep. Jared Polis (D-Colo.) introduced the Regulate Marijuana Like Alcohol Act, which would remove marijuana from the Controlled Substances Act’s schedules, transfer oversight of the substance from the Drug Enforcement Administration over to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, and regulate marijuana in a way similar [...]
Recreational cannabis is now legal for adults in Alaska. Alaska on Tuesday becomes the third U.S. state to end prohibition of marijuana, officially putting into effect Ballot Measure 2, approved by 53 percent of state voters in November. Alaskans age 21 and older may now legally possess up to one ounce of marijuana, grow as many as six marijuana plants in their homes (with no more than three flowering), and possess any additional marijuana produced by those plants. Shops selling [...]
