I love it! Marijuana legalization is coming to the USA and when it does, all the countries that have been pressured by the USA to support this ridiculous drug war will be free to legalize weed, or at least decriminalize / rethink policies. Hell, even Cambodia criminalized marijuana under U.S. pressure.

Goal: $5000 Raised: $10,125

Risks & Challenges
As a member of the media, I've seen the dirty campaign tricks and lies that prohibitionists have been using over the past several months to sway Alaskan voters firsthand. Here's the sad thing: it's working. Polling shows the majority of Alaskans, who were in favor of the initiative at the start of the year, are now against it.

Few people fighting for marijuana legalization in Alaska are as media savvy, well educated on the marijuana industry, passionate, professional and completely dedicated to passing this initiative as me, the only person in Alaska that has had the balls to face the injustice of Alaska's medical marijuana catch-22 and do something about it. My Alaska Cannabis Club members are right here with me, ready to fight this long overdue fight.

When I moved to Alaska in the late '70s you could legally grow it/smoke it in your house. Then the church's who weren't making any money on it got together and got a vote on it. (there were lots of nosy outside missionaries to the natives at that time and now.) The Church people in Alaska got the vote out and made it illegal so people could be jailed, thanks guys, NOT! (Unfortunately most people in Alaska live in Anchorage, we call it Los Anchorage, and the rest of Alaska suffers due to them being able to vote programs in that are detrimental to people living in the "real" Alaska.

Anchorage-lets build a city on mosquito infested muskeg, on a bay that has some of the biggest tides, on land that moves/sinks big time during the many earthquakes, and has almost no redeeming qualities. Great city planning, NOT! (But you've got to love the dives/bars on 4th Ave., a real circus, and there is Chilkut-Charlies for entertainment not to mention the Great Alaskan Bush company for eye-candy/voyeurism.)

Best weed? Matanuska-Mothetload-Mindfuck. The Matanuska Growers Associations grows some great weed due to almost 24hr sun in the summer. Also cabbages the size of small cars.

She planned it all out as a publicity stunt for her illegal pot club. Fairly unprofessional use of the network's resources really.

If it were impromptu or spontaneous, I'd be supportive... but planning it out and then trying to act like it was spontaneous, lame.

yes, totally unprofessional and obviously just a half baked PR stunt but who gives a shit nowadays, you should never expect any loyalty from your employers anyway, maybe she knew already she was going to be fired for other reasons so she killed two birds with one stone.

legalization will only enrich a bunch of maybe 50 or 100 farmers and shop owners and of course the local government.
they'll make fat profits on the shoulders of the weeders and laugh their ass all the way to the bank.

will your life benefit so much from legal weed ? i don't think so, all the stoners i know who smoke since 20 yrs are full of shit and living in their fantasy world, actually they're even aware of this but they just can't stop it.

even Terence McKenna just before dieing finally admitted that his hardcore weed addiction was probably responsible for his death.

his son smoked for 20 yrs and then stopped, admitting weed is indeed addictive and bad.

the irony is, if we look at countries where you can legally smoke like the Netherlands most of the locals are not that much into it and they definitely prefer getting drunk than getting stoned, go in any small town there and you'll barely see one single coffee shop but next door there are at least 5-6 bars selling booze.

moreover there;s now a social stigma on stoners and rightly so, with stoners being seen as losers and good for nothing.

Who will benefit from legal weed? The people of America thats who. One less law that you can be thrown in jail for, have your possessions taking away for, stripped of your dignity for, lose your Constitutional rights for and forced into a corrupt legal system. One less thing the out of control DEA (Drug Enforcement administration) can use to break your door down at 3am and shoot you and your family using a military SWAT team. Less people in prison. Less people in court. Less people in the bogus rehab system and parole system. The big winner? The US tax payer. The loser, the attorneys, Bar Associations, corrupt judicial system/judges and their thug skinhead militarized police forces. The US War-On-Drug is a war on the people.

i fully agree but they will just move into other lucrative businesses.

if they legalize soft drugs is because it's no more profitable as in the past and they benefits enjoyed so far are not there anymore.

err, source plz?

In The NY Times he actually said quite the opposite (while acknowledging that weed didnt shrink his kind of brain tumor):

Wired said Mr. McKenna, like many others, wondered whether a lifetime of drug use might be to blame for his brain tumor.
''So what about it?'' he asked his doctors. ''You want to hammer on me about that?'' They assured him there was no causal link.

''So what about 35 years of daily dope smoking?'' he asked. They pointed to studies suggesting that cannabis may shrink tumors.
''Listen,'' Mr. McKenna told them, ''if cannabis shrinks tumors, we wouldn't be having this discussion.''
