Call for Help – I’m Looking for Marijuana Activists, Writers, Bloggers

Due to a void I’ve found on the blogging scene, I’m looking for 6-10 pro-cannabis, pro-medical marijuana, pro-hemp, or anti-prohibition, however you define it, to write on this blog about once a week. If you’d like to contribute and individual piece, that’s great too. If you normally write on issues other than marijuana and re-legalization [...]

A Message to Memphis, The War on Marijuana is a Quagmire

I read this news story: Morocco destroyed a 2,736 hectare cannabis farm. That’s an area almost 20 times the size of Overton Park*. That’s an unreal bust, and yet supply for the United States in the coming year won’t be diminished. We’re the country with the greatest marijuana consumption in the world.
I saw this story [...]

Flinn Broadcasting Censors Young Jeezy’s Political Message

Hot 107.1 which in the past I have regarded to be the best hip-hop station in the Dirty South, has censored the political message of Young Jeezy’s new single, Crazy World. The lyric in question is toward the end of the first verse and repeated again in the second.
