Steve Kerr, head coach of the NBA's Golden State Warriors, believes “it’s only a matter of time before medicinal ma*****na is allowed is sports leagues.”

Despite all of the progress, a cautionary tale:
"And a disproportionate number of those arrested are African-Americans, who smoke ma*****na at rates similar to whites but are arrested and prosecuted far more often for having small amounts for personal use, according to the study."
Ma*****na Arrests Outnumber Those for Violent Crimes, Study Finds
The arrests last year took place even as social attitudes toward the drug changed. A disproportionate number of those arrested are African-Americans.

"Because if punk is good for anything, it’s for telling pig-headed racists like Donald Trump to f**k right off."

Support for Proposition 64 is polling at nearly 60 percent, and the measure has drawn support from leading politicians and newspapers that opposed it in 2010, including Democratic Lieutenant Governor Gavin Newsom.
Ma*****na's Moment
As many as five states could approve its recreational use this November, potentially signaling a point of no return for legalized pot.

Medical ma*****na could be coming to Virginia in 2017 if Gov.Terry McAuliffe has it his way. The governor shared his support for *****na during an interview with WTOP radio last week and said he’d like to a statewide program for medical patients...

"If I speak up, I’m a shrill nag. If my weight fluctuates at all, I’m a gross, inconvenient fatty. If my husband cheats, it’s on me. If I try to defend or salvage my marriage, I’m a stupid dupe. Men like Trump and Giuliani have advanced ideas like these so the women in their lives will be cowed, thin and compliant, while if they err, they’re swashbuckling and strategic. The idea that we should trust men who hate us in private to protect us in the public sphere is the ultimate insult to our intelligence."
Women of America, this is how much leading Republicans hate you

Ben and Jerry’s Considers Ma*****na-infused Ice Cream
Don't bogart that spoon, man. Lemme get a hit off that cone, dude. Pass the bowl ... of ice cream? Could Ben and Jerry's, the counterculture snack empire gone mainstream, be planning a ma*****na-infused ice cream? "Makes sense to me. You know, combine your pleasures," co-founder Ben Cohen said in an...

Truly disturbing abuse of power.
The Incoherence of Schedule I
Schedule I is a science-y looking smokescreen, one that allows the DEA to do virtually whatever it feels like. Which is often completely indefensible.
09/22/2016
This is typical of how drug scheduling works; to some extent, the law creates its own medical facts by foreclosing research avenues that might otherwise be explored. But it can only do this by stunting our knowledge and perhaps delaying the development of useful new medicines.
The DEA has smothered the drug debate with a smoke screen
The criteria for banning a drug exist to make congressional and DEA determinations look scientific, even when they are not.
