museummouse Cannabisculture Internationally known cannabis activist and businessman Marc Emery turned himself over to the British Columbia Provincial courts today waiting extradition to the US for pleading guilty to conspiracy to manufacture cannabis. Marc will be serving a five year sentence in a deal struck with the DEA which also had co-defendants Micheal Rainey and Greg Williams receive 5 years probation but no jail time. The Canadian Justice Minister Rob Nicholson has yet to sign the extradition order and supporters are hoping that he refuses but that is unlikely since Canada has never refused to sign an order for the US. http://i577.photobucket.com/albums/ss213/muse…

By HEATHER RIVERS, SUN MEDIA Sat, September 26, 2009 http://lfpress.ca/newsstand/News/Local/200...128741-sun.html Copyright © 2008, Canoe Inc WOODSTOCK -- It may look and smell just like marijuana, but there's a good chance it's not. Police say several hemp plants stolen from a Stratford-area research plot have been recovered in Woodstock. Gordon Scheifele, a plant breeder and retired University of Guelph researcher, said thieves this week raided his legal 0.8 hectare (two-acre) plot licensed by Health Canada. Although it was labelled hemp, Scheifele, a former president of the Ontario Hemp Alliance, said thieves still stole about half a garbage bag of hemp …

(AP) – 4 hours ago http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/articl...NmWYEAD9APR9S00 Copyright © 2009 The Associated Press THESSALONIKI, Greece — A man has been arrested in northern Greece for allegedly growing marijuana in the median strip of the country's main, um, highway. The pot plants weren't little seedlings, either, nor were they well-concealed. Police say the 35-year-old was caught Thursday in the middle of a six-lane highway linking Athens with Thessaloniki, harvesting 42 marijuana plants up to 5.9 feet (1.8 meters) tall. A small quantity of dried pot was found in his home, as well. Police said the marijuana had been planted in a 1-meter-wide wide median …

As expected, my aerogarden doesn't seem to be fantastic with yield. Don't particularly care about that, It's enough for a homegrown smoke. Anyway, I was looking at a lot of guides to find out what I should look for with harvesting, and I get a lot of conflicting websites. Some talk about red hairs (50 or 90% turned), others about amber trichomes (shame I don't have a magnifying glass) and one random site is telling me the milky white hairs are an indication of maturity. To hell with them, you guys are never wrong. I'd like to sample my bud, so if you can let me know which one would be best to go then let me know. Otherwise, how far along do you think I am with flowering…

Jack Herer Suffers Heart Attack Sunday, 13 September 2009 10:57 The much beloved "Emperor of Hemp" Jack Herer collapsed backstage yesterday at Hempstalk 2009 in Portland after giving a speech. He was rushed to the hospital and underwent heart surgery. Herer, the author of The Emperor Wears No Clothes, suffered a stroke and heart attack in 2000 at another Oregon event. He has recovered over the years, though the 70-year-old activist speaks with a stutter and walks with a limp. Just minutes before his speech, Herer looked fit and said, "I'm getting better and better and better. I'm healthier than I've been..." Herer's currently at Emanuel Trauma Center in Port…

By Stephen Gutwillig Los Angeles Times The Times' Aug. 30 article, "Marijuana’s new high life," does a great job describing the cultural mainstreaming of marijuana. Pot is indeed flourishing in "civilized society" as never before, and the movement to end decades of failed prohibition has picked up unprecedented momentum. But that debate has largely ignored the people most impacted by our current policies -- the rising number of people, particularly young people of color, arrested on marijuana charges each year. According to the Center on Juvenile and Criminal Justice (CJCJ), the arrest rate for all offenses in California sank by 40% from 1990 to 2008, with arrests for…

Fernando Henrique Cardoso urges global shift towards decriminalising cannabis use and promoting harm reduction The war on drugs has failed and should make way for a global shift towards decriminalising cannabis use and promoting harm reduction, says the former president of Brazil, writing today in the Observer. Fernando Henrique Cardoso argues that the hardline approach has brought "disastrous" consequences for Latin America, which has been the frontline in the war on drug cultivation for decades, while failing to change the continent's position as the largest exporter of cocaine and marijuana. His intervention, which will reignite growing debate in Europe about how t…
