Wed, 13 Jun 2007 15:35:40 +0000 - Singapore’s Marijuana Death Penalties
While the United States of America is often criticized for its overly strict marijuana laws, it is actually fairly lenient — at least compared to Singapore. As a recent case demonstrates, in Singapore the penalty for trafficking marijuana is death. From the article: Singapore has some of the world’s toughest and most thoroughly enforced drug laws, [...]
Wed, 13 Jun 2007 15:17:54 +0000 - The Continuing Fight for Medical Marijuana
Well — it looks as though we may be one step closer to the legalization of our favourite herb. The ACLU has gotten a judge to submit an official recommendation to the DEA to end the prohibition on marijuana’s production for medical purposes. From the article: On May 15, DEA Administrative Law Judge Mary [...]

If we were ever to do a quote of the day, this is what it would be: “I hope my grandchildren will be willing to roll a doobie for me if my arthritis gets too bad,” says Becker. Awesome. We need more seniors to be this way — honestly. In fact, we need more middle-aged people to [...]
Tue, 15 May 2007 20:08:40 +0000 - The Strength of Marijuana
One of our readers pointed us to a link in the news today — one that is sure to make headlines in both the pro-legalization/anti-legalization camps. The article, published in Reuters, talks about the strength of modern-day weed, particularly about how much stronger it is than the “grass” of the 1970’s. Actually, it [...]
Thu, 26 Apr 2007 19:01:12 +0000 - Marijuana and Schizophrenia
Hi Julius! I was told that marijuana has been linked to an increased rate of schizophrenia. Is this true, or is it just propaganda? I love the blog, BTW! I’m glad you like the blog — we try hard to make it a useful resource, and it’s always nice to hear from a fan. Now, on [...]
Tue, 24 Apr 2007 22:14:05 +0000 - “Burnouts”
Dear Julius: A lot of the people that I know who smoke frequently (several times a day) seem to be “burnouts”, i.e. they seem to perpetually be in a daze, even when not high. Their reactions seem slowed, and they have trouble remembering things. This is due to their frequent marijuana use, right? To date, [...]
Thu, 12 Apr 2007 13:57:26 +0000 - Marijuana and your lungs
Dear Julius, I’ve heard that if you smoke marijuana, you’re harming your lungs. Is that true? If so, how harmful is it? No, it’s not true. I say that tenatively, since there is a catch, which I’ll explain in a second. It’s not true, in that if you smoke marijuana regularly, and even if you [...]
Fri, 23 Mar 2007 21:02:14 +0000 - Bill Richardson’s “risky” move
Last week, Bill Richardson, governor of New Mexico and a 2008 presidential candidate, announced his support of medical marijuana in New Mexico. There are already 11 states in the United States that allow the medicinal use of cannabis — and Richardson hopes to add a 12th. Of course just because a state allows medical cannabis [...]
