Wow, Go Florida! I wonder if they will be able to use it? As here in Missouri the Cannabis Tax goes to VA but Vets don’t get respect at the VA for cannabis use!

Did the DEA rig marijuana rescheduling process?
Strange happenings in trying to reschedule. Not too big a surprise!
Suspicions are rising that the DEA may have rigged the marijuana rescheduling process.
Public documents suggest the DEA may have weighted the process to reject moving marijuana from Schedule 1 to Schedule 3. Key points include:
* The DEA considered 163 applicants but selected only 25 based on unknown criteria.
* Requests from New York and Colorado officials to participate were rejected.
* The DEA appeared to support almost a dozen opponents of rescheduling.
A lawsuit has been filed by a group of doctors to compel the DEA to redo its witness selection or explain its actions.

Cannabis Is More Effective In Treating Musculoskeletal Pain Than Traditional Medications Are, Patients Say In New Study – Marijuana Moment
I know this to be true from my personal pain as well as both my Ex-Wives have Sciatica back pain. Each I took to pain management and on both occasions the Doctor told us she was doing the best treatment she could. As his page management would not help better than the cannabis and in fact would have to stop the cannabis to be on pain management!
It’s wild, see the whole story at MJ Movement at the link below.
“Marijuana” Recheduling Imminent? Lets See?
There’s another set of whispers again that they may “imminently” reschedule Marijuana. Is Cannabis reform coming? Not that they did it last time. It would be nice if it’s not just another denial of the use of Cannabis as Medicine. The United States Government has Patent – 6,630,507 that shows they know Cannabis deserves more than Schedule 1 (NO USE). Though they always go in circles saying “it needs to be studied more.” When it’s one of Mankind’s oldest crops and medicines… (Check Emperor Wears No Clothes by Jack Herer for all the details – Emperor – JackHerer.com)
So far we’ve only come across silly ideas of Regulation of Cannabis. I’ll skip the rants today on where we SHOULD go, but that information is here.
What’s a rescheduling of marijuana going to do? At another schedule, it’s still ONLY going to be by a doctor’s permission and controlled. In my study, the only reasonable thing that changes is the legality of use. Cannabis will be able to be banked, as if you don’t know it’s generally illegal to store money for what the federal government considers illegal drugs. So, they are forced to deal with cash.
Reschedule won’t help… We need Cannabis Reform. Dig further with Marijuana Movement’s details.

Recreation Sales In MO Start up!
Dispensaries in Missouri have began to get approval to sell cannabis to Adults. As Amendment 3 made it legal for adults over 21 to have to 3 ounces of cannabis on hand of course can’t miss out on this time in history right? So I stopped by GreenLight Cannabis in Independence Missouri and picked up a pre-roll and a 1/8th! Seemed pretty good and reasonable priced.
I may shift to cover more cannabis so you all know what is good in the Cannabis scene in Missouri. I have heard some shady business from these big cannabis producers. I think it would be great to weed out and focus on the best and worst of what we have around our state. Give customers a better idea.
Did you go get Rec Cannabis in your State? Did you go get it in Missouri? Want to see Reviews?
Missourians NEED to VOTE “NO” – On Recreational Marijuana – Amendment 3
Amendment 3 to make Marijuana Recreational is on the ballot. Sadly many will see it as a great thing and “Making Cannabis legal” it does NOT do such a thing. It really just shuffles prohibition around so adults can “legally” carry more. No protections if you get up and drive the next day or month! The THC will still be in your blood when you get in an accident, and it will go towards you – even if not your fault. No considerations of that are taken in.
This regulation really only goes to assist in the moving the Cannabis profits to a system they can try and regulate.
Expunging past offenses get us NO WHERE as it only moves your offenses to a system “physically and electronically segregated“!
Costs on cannabis go up, taxed to add 6% more and another 3% if the locality it’s in wants in too.
Punishment for having this SAFE plant get added – it is safe as FOOD, in fact, is a superfood! Even though maybe medical necessary and is safe penalties get ADDED! – “Purposefully possessing amounts in excess of twice the legal limit shall be punishable by imprisonment of up to one year and a fine of up to two thousand dollars as an infraction under applicable law.”
Another makes a fine for making concentrate in your home! What if this is medically needed? You’ll have to not DIY and take it commercial instead! “$1000 FINE FOR PRODUCING CONCENTRATES IN YOUR HOME“
This isn’t real legalization, its a total shift for the dispensary business and NOT in favor of the cannabis consumer. A Fellow advocate breaks it down much better detail and links to the details of the law he made for the state. We need to free cannabis, restore it back to the time before 1937 when it was a free commodity.

Is the world ‘Marijuana’ racist?
I read today a take from Leafy discussing the use of the word “Marijuana” and does it end up being racist to use?
I was glad to see this article and their perspective. I often run into this and prefer to not use “Marijuana” often if I can help it. I tend to less see it as racist, but a jab to fog up the meaning of the word and give a negative spun perspective. As mentioned in the article, many under 20 or so know and use the word, while those 50 and older would prefer to avoid the word.
I prefer to use the words Cannabis or Hemp as they are the same plant and important to our history and health. Prior to 1937 Cannabis and Indian Hemp we’re the terms used for Cannabis in a Medicinal form!
Infact the other day I picked up a Stedman’s Shorter Medical Dictionary and found it listed there:
(It also lists it’s in the U.S.P which is the United States Pharmacopeia (official medicine sourcebook)
Anyways, enough on my tangent. It’s just important to me that Marijuana has been a word to confuse as those who used medicine knew what cannabis was. We now today pretend it’s a cousin. If you want to learn the history of cannabis I recommend reading Emperor Wears no Clothes by Jack Herer and http://antiquecannabisbook.com as well to see the history of cannabis.
Well check the link below for Leafly’s input –
