Warning to all pot smokers in Colorado and Washington: You are about to experience a costly lesson in federal tyranny and Obama betrayal Tuesday, December 11, 2012 by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger (NaturalNews) Colorado and Washington pot smokers are lighting up in celebration after having achieved a stunning decriminalization victory at the ballot box. Inhale while you can, my brothers and sisters, because Obama is already plotting how to re-criminalize your swag and nullify states' rights. Marijuana decriminalization, you see, was a states' rights victory that more or less flipped Washington D.C. the finger. From Obama's point of view, this simply cannot be allo…

Administration Weighs Legal Action Against States That Legalized Marijuana Use By CHARLIE SAVAGE Published: December 6, 2012 WASHINGTON — Senior White House and Justice Department officials are considering plans for legal action against Colorado and Washington that could undermine voter-approved initiatives to legalize the recreational use of marijuana in those states, according to several people familiar with the deliberations. Even as marijuana legalization supporters are celebrating their victories in the two states, the Obama administration has been holding high-level meetings since the election to debate the response of federal law enforcement agenci…

Poll suggests its smart politics for Obama to let Washington and Colorado legalize pot Published: Tuesday, December 11, 2012, 9:34 AM Updated: Tuesday, December 11, 2012, 9:34 AM http://media.oregonlive.com/avatars/390.png By Jeff Mapes, The Oregonian A new Gallup Poll says that 64 percent of Americans think the federal government shouldn't use federal anti-drug laws to prevent states like Washington and Colorado from proceeding with marijuana legalization. The new finding shows a much greater level of support for a federal hands-off policy than those who actually support legalizing the drug. According to Gallup, even 43 percent of those who oppose legalizing p…

Marijuana legalization low-key, laid-back on purpose in Colorado By The Associated Press on December 11, 2012 at 7:50 AM DENVER — Colorado gave a lonely reception to marijuana when it became the second state to legalize the drug. Just as state leaders planned. Gov. John Hickenlooper on Monday quietly removed the final barrier to legalization by declaring that an amendment passed by voters in November was officially part of the state constitution. He announced the move on Twitter and email after the fact. In response, a handful of marijuana activists celebrated by toking up on the Capitol steps, but there were no crowds and little fanfare. It was a differen…

Posted by Dylan Matthews on December 11, 2012 at 9:00 am The White House can decriminalize medical marijuana in one easy step As of Monday, marijuana is legal in the state of Colorado. Governor John Hickenlooper has signed an official proclamation making Amendment 64, the voter-passed amendment that legalizes possession of up to an ounce of marijuana, part of the state’s Constitution. That sets up a confrontation between the state and the federal government, given that marijuana possession is still a federal crime. In theory, the Drug Enforcement Agency could try to arrest everyone buying and selling pot in Colorado and Washington, which also legalized the subst…

daym stoners are so creative! One would expect the high-power headlights of luxury car brandPorsche to be pretty good at startling deer and blinding other drivers. But according to rumours circulating in Amsterdam, their high-intensity discharge (HID) xenon lamps are good for cultivating cannabis too. At the last count, 35 sets of headlights have been reported stolen from Porsche Cayenne and Panamera models in the Dutch capital in recent months. Oddly, the rest of the country has so far been unaffected.Motoring blogs have blamed this trend on marijuana farmers being unwilling to fork out for the expensive lighting systems needed to maximise their harvest. As well as p…
