[Nos cartazes: "Nós queremos cerveja."] Em 14 de Março de 1932, no auge da Lei Seca nos Estados Unidos, um grupo de cidadãos americanos decidiu protestar em nome de sua liberdade individual. Muitos poderiam achar que um protesto pedindo cerveja é inútil, que os liberais daquela época deveriam se concentrar em bandeiras mais "importantes" como o fim do Banco Central, etc. Bem, nós achamos que não existe bandeira mais importante do que impedir que pessoas sejam enjauladas apenas porque elas querem colocar substâncias dentro dos seus corpos. As drogas devem ser legalizadas? Fonte: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=528747820516314&set=a.286789904712108.69260.217022305022202&type=1&theater

O governo pretende promover 30 debates sobre a regulação do plantio e da venda de maconha até o fim deste mês Folha de maconha: a disposição do governo é manter a proposta de adotar medidas para a regulação do plantio e venda da maconha no país Brasília – O governo do presidente do Uruguai, José Pepe Mujica, promoverá ao longo deste mês uma série de debates sobre a regulação do plantio e da venda de maconha sob controle das autoridades públicas. O secretário da Presidência da República, Diego Canepa, disse que a ideia é promover 30 debates até o fim de abril. Para o secretário, é fundamental diferenciar as medidas de regulação e a legalização da maconha. "A grande diferença é que a partir deste projeto de lei não pode plantar ou vender maconha sem o controle rigoroso do Estado”, ressaltou. Canepa acrescentou que a disposição do governo é manter a proposta de adotar medidas para a regulação do plantio e venda da maconha no país. A proposta foi apresentada na Comissão de Entorpecentes, em Viena, na Áustria. Segundo ele, a intenção do governo é buscar mecanismos de regulação e controle como ocorreram com o cigarro e o álcool. O secretário disse que a proposta envolve uma discussão ampla, árdua e complexa. "Em todos os momentos será transmitido à população o ponto de vista político, o debate será profundo", destacou. "O objetivo é tentar, da melhor forma possível, tratar os vícios que existem no nosso país em busca de novas políticas para suplantar as medidas que não funcionaram”, disse.

E eu vou levar o cartaz "Onde esta o Harry Potter?".

Se todo mundo na sua família fuma, pq do drama? chega junto e fala! Aproveita q tu conhece o GR, mostra pra ele e fala: Que tal plantarmos ao invés de vc arriscar sua vida e saúde pegando prensado? Aí é só viver feliz para sempre!

ae Senhores, achei linda esta... foda estar em ingles di novo. rsrsrs a tradução do google fica estranho, mas da pra intender em partes... segue a original.: Evidence mounts as a growing number of papers published in scientific journals are establishing that cannabinoids have anti-tumor effects on the cellular level and in animals. March 27, 2013 Increasing numbers of people have been using Cannabis “oil” —plant extracts consisting of 50% or more THC and/or CBD— to treat conditions ranging from mild rashes to potentially fatal cancers. Reports of success are circulating among medical Cannabis users and on the internet. They gain plausibility from a parallel stream of papers published in scientific journals establishing that cannabinoids have anti-tumor effects on the cellular level and in animals. The anti-cancer properties of cannabinoids were a recurring theme at this year’s meeting of the International Cannabinoid Research Society, and also in a course for physicians presented Oct. 24, 2012, at the University of California San Francisco. One speaker, Jeffrey Hergenrather, MD, described a particularly dramatic case seen by a San Diego colleague: a 90% reduction in the size of an infant’s brain tumor achieved over the course of a year by parents applying hemp oil to the baby’s pacifier before naptime and bedtime. Aptly dubbed “MMJ13001A” on the UCSF website, the half-day course on cannabinoid medicine included talks by three researchers whose findings about cannabis and cancer have been under-reported, to put it mildly: Stephen Sidney, MD, director of research for Kaiser-Permanente in Northern California; UCLA pulmonologist Donald Tashkin, MD; and Donald Abrams, MD, Chief of Hematology-Oncology at San Francisco General Hospital. Some 60 doctors received continuing medical education credits for attending the half-day course at UCSF’s Laurel Heights auditorium, which was organized by the Canadian Consortium for the Investigation of Cannabinoids, with help from Abrams and the Society of Cannabis Clinicians, and reprised the next day in Santa Monica (MMJ13001B). A very interested auditor at the UCSF session, Michelle Aldrich, had used cannabis oil as a treatment for lung cancer. Donald Abrams, who consulted on Aldrich's case, says, “The fact that Michelle didn’t have cancer that could be located [after using the oil] is a bit unusual in someone who started treatment with an advanced stage. I don’t usually see that in my patients. Did the cannabis oil make a difference? We don’t know because we don’t have a controlled study.” Abrams has met with a UCSF neurooncologist “to discuss whether or not we should do a clinical trial adding oil to chemo for patients with glioblastoma [a brain tumor that is usually fast-moving and fatal]. Manuel Guzman’s studies have shown that cannabinoids have great potential in treating brain tumors.” Undoubtedly Dr. Mahmoud ElSohly, who grows marijuana for the National Institute on Drug Abuse, can produce a uniform, highly concentrated extract for research purposes. But whether or not NIDA will let Abrams have some is uncertain. Abrams has jumped through bureaucratic hoops before. He has obtained all the necessary approvals and funding to conduct clinical trials involving cannabis, and published his findings in peer-reviewed journals. Because chemotherapy has a measurable benefit, he says, “There’s no way we could get approval for a study that evaluates cannabis oil as a cure for brain tumors without giving patients temolozide [the standard treatment for glioma].” “A ‘cure’ in cancer means five years of disease-free survival,” Abrams reminds us. So what Abrams has in mind is “a study of the pharmacokinetic interaction between cannabis oil and temolozide.” Participants would be patients undergoing treatment for glioblastoma. Researchers would measure the level of temolozide in their blood before and after adding cannabis oil to their regimen. The primary objective would be to establish safety —to confirm that large cannabinoid infusions do not interfere with the body’s ability to process temolozide. Another objective would be to document examples of cannabis oil expediting or promoting tumor reduction. Such a ‘signal’ might justify a trial of cannabis oil on its own. Abrams does not want to promote false hope. “I do integrative oncology,” he says, “so I hear about ‘miracle cures’ all the time. I hear about about noni juice and graviola and many products. What’s disturbing is to hear people talking about cannabis oil as a ‘cure,’ because a cure in cancer means five years of disease-free survival and people have not been using cannabis oil for five years. “I think it does a disservice to the cannabis community to make claims that are not supportable. I may be seen as a nay-sayer but I’m not. I say ‘Let’s study it.’” Doctors and Dispensaries Doctors who see cannabis-using patients and dispensaries that provide their medicine are well positioned to advance research by collecting “observational data” that could justify clinical trials, says Abrams. To do this properly, he advises, “You can’t collect data on only the patients who respond well. You have to collect data from everyone who undergoes the intervention. And data collection has to be sequential. If everyone who got a cannabis-oil product filled out a standardized case-report file at set time points during their treatment, and provided information from their conventional therapist showing the effect on their cancer, then we would have very useful data.” If the data contained “a ‘signal’ suggesting that the intervention may have value and should be pursued further, the National Cancer Institute Office of Cancer and Complementary and Alternative Medicine (OCCAM)’s Best Case Series Program should be notified.” The program evaluates therapies for which there is evidence of benefit. Unfortunately, the Best Case Series Program will not accept information on patients who, in addition to using cannabis oil, undergo conventional treatments (radiation and/or chemotherapy). Abrams, who is on the editorial board of OCCAM’s webpage, regrets the requirement that alternative therapies reviewed by the Best Case Series Program be evaluated as solo acts. “Nothing can be ‘complementary’ and ‘alternative’ at the same time,” he points out. “What we’re really trying to do is integrate complementary interventions into alternative care.” As for patients who are having beneficial responses using cannabis oil without conventional therapy, Abrams hopes that data on their cases will be submitted to NCI OCCAM’s Best Case Series Program to provide a ‘signal’ that clinical trials are called for. “Anyone who is saying that they’re seeing people cured of cancer with cannabis oil alone,” says Abrams, “has a responsibility to report those cases to the NCI’s Office of Cancer and Complementary Medicine. That would be ‘putting your money where your mouth is.’’’ The Controversial Mr. Simpson The medical benefits of hemp oil (AKA cannabis oil and hash oil) were extolled in a video called Run From the Cure, made in 2008 by Rick Simpson, a retired hospital worker from Maccan, Nova Scotia. On the 58-minute video, which has been widely viewed on YouTube, Simpson described having been diagnosed with three skin cancers. One lesion, close to his right eye, had been surgically removed but appeared to be coming back. Simpson knew that cannabis was medically useful because he used it to cope with a terrible ringing in his ear (tinnitus) brought on by a head injury. Recalling that a suppressed U.S. government study had ascribed anti-cancer effects to THC, Simpson decided to make a highly concentrated cannabis extract and apply it to the three spots on his face. It wiped out the two lesions that had yet to be removed surgically, as well as the one that had reappeared. When Simpson reported his good news to his doctor’s receptionist (who was also the doctor’s wife), instead of being pleased, she seemed frightened —a harbinger of how the medical and political establishments would respond to his assertion that hemp oil has anti-cancer effects. Simpson tried and failed, he says, to interest the Canadian Cancer Society in his results. Simpson gave his oil to several residents of Maccan who also reported great benefit. When officers of the Royal Canadian Legion’s local chapter made public statements praising Simpson’s product, they were removed from their posts and denied use of the meeting hall. “We have supplied it to dozens of people,” Simpson says about hemp oil in the video. “Medical miracles are a common occurrence... It has brought many people right off their deathbeds.” He avows that the oil can be used to treat “any condition involving mutating cells.” Epstein explains that the medical establishment’s approach —screening, diagnosis and damage control— is profitable. The video includes brief references to scientific papers showing that cannabinoids have anti-cancer effects, including studies by Guzman and McAllister. There is strong footage of Samuel Epstein, MD, author (with Harvey Wasserman) of The Politics of Cancer. Epstein explains that the medical establishment’s approach —screening, diagnosis and damage control— is profitable. “You wait till they get the cancer and then you try and treat it. The more disease there is, the greater the profit.” Run From the Cure shows Simpson making hemp oil, preceded by a jarring disclaimer: “Making your own oil is extremely dangerous and we do not approve of this method.” Then he shows and tells you how, and vouches for its efficacy. The recipe goes like this: “Place Good bud in a plastic container. Dampen with solvent. Crush bud material. After crushing add more solvent till it’s completely covered. I use pure naphtha but 99% isopropyl alcohol also works as a solvent. Let the THC dissolve into the solvent. Drain and pour through a coffee filter. Make sure the area is well ventilated where you’re going to boil off the solvent… A pound of good bud yields about two ounces. Ingesting this amount over a two-three month period is enough to cure most serious cancers.” Simpson’s critics wince over his use of naphtha, a petroleum product that could leave residue in the extracted oil. They cringe over his claim that hemp oil is “enough to cure most serious cancers.” And they fear that the implication in the title “Run From The Cure,” plus disparaging remarks made in the video about radiation and chemotherapy, will lead some viewers to forego these conventional therapies, which are admittedly hideous but might prove life-extending. No one denies Rick Simpson credit for bringing hemp oil —and the notion that megadose cannabinoids might provide mega-benefit—to the attention of millions. He has changed the way people think about cannabinoid dosing levels. If today’s mega-dose becomes tomorrow’s standard dose in treating certain cancers, Rick Simpson will have expedited the process. WAMM’s Observational Study Since the winter of 2009/10, 37 members of WAMM —the Wo/men’s Alliance for Medical Marijuana, based in Santa Cruz, California— have used cannabis oil, which they call “Milagro oil,” to treat various conditions. (Milagro means “miracle” in Spanish.) WAMM was the first recipient of clones donated to Project CBD by plant breeders in 2009. WAMM members grow their herb organically in an outdoor garden. Director Valerie Corral notes with pride that Milagro oil “is made exclusively from our own product...Many of our medicines are created from distinctive heirloom strains.” The typical Sativex dose is about 41 milligrams per day. The typical Milagro oil dose is between 500 and 1,000 milligrams per day A man Corral calls “a gifted and compassionate chemist” —John Erickson is not his real name— turns WAMM’s buds and leaves into an oil that is slightly above 50 percent THC and/or CBD in content. The solvent he uses to extract oil from the plant is Everclear —neutral grain spirits. The oil is then repeatedly distilled over the course of three to four hours. One pound of plant material yields about 75 grams (2.6 ounces) of pure Milagro oil. It is very dark green and has the viscosity of tar at cool temperatures. The delivery system is an oral syringe containing 3.5 grams, from which patients extrude their desired dose. Recently Erickson has added a 1-gram syringe, which makes dosing simpler. His clients include Harborside Health Center, which has dubbed the product “Sungrown Healing Hemp Oil.” WAMM’s original Milagro oil was, more than 50 percent THC with only trace amounts of CBD. Last year they began producing a CBD-rich oil, too (1.7-CBD to 1.0-THC). The latter was reported to be slightly psychoactive by many patients, although much less so than the Milagro oil. (If you’re wondering why G.W. Pharmaceuticals’ Sativex, a 1:1 CBD-to-THC plant extract, is rarely perceived by patients as psychoactive, bear in mind that Sativex users, on average, ingest 41.6 milligrams per day of plant cannabinoids —21.6 mg of THC, 20mg of CBD. The typical Milagro oil dose is between 500 and 1,000 mgs of plant cannabinoids per day.) The anti-cancer regimen that WAMM recommends involves ingesting a gram of oil per day —a dose that some people find unpleasantly psychoactive— for 60 days. It is hoped that in the future, a combination oil made from plants with very little THC will be prove to be much less psychoactive —or not psychoactive at all— and equally beneficial. For patients who take the oil by mouth, Corral makes “decoctions” of varying strength, cutting the Milagro oil with organic hempseed oil that contains no cannabinoids. Patients start out taking a one-gram decoction that is nine parts hempseed oil to one part milagro oil. When they find the effects tolerable they graduate to a four-to-one ratio. Then, when ready, they take undiluted Milagro oil. “It may take as long as a month for a patient to be able to tolerate the intensity of the full strength Milagro Oil,” says Corral, who tries to stay in touch with all involved. “So we are developing a combination oil, which consists of Milagro, CBD-Rich Oil, and a new THC Acid oil that is not at all psychoactive.” Once patients can tolerate a full dose, Corral says, “We begin a three-month period of observation, during which patients will consume the 60 grams of pure Milagro Oil extract. We find that not every patient will consume the 60 grams; some will take less, some will take more and remain fully functional. WAMM members often combine the oils with conventional therapies. “We see many turn away from chemical therapies after finding that their cancers are returning or have metasticized,” Corral says. “Still, the oils can be useful when combined with standard anti-cancer therapies. “Healing is holistic,” Corral believes. “In my opinion, a combination of therapies is most effective. The goal is not just providing an unfavorable condition for cancer cells, it’s far more complex. There are many things to heal. The whole organism must be treated. One of the many things the Milagro oil may do is to help patients tolerate chemotherapy as an adjunct treatment. This may allow them to be more accepting of allo­pathic medicine. In the best case scenario, they may be able to shift their treatment from the rigors of chemical therapies to natural plant medicines that support the entire system. We may well prove that whole plant cannabis medicines, when ingested in their entirety and containing megadoses of CBD and THC in their acid forms is the answer that we have awaited.” At the request of Project CBD, Corral and WAMM manager Joe Paquin recently compiled an “observational study” of WAMM members treating various conditions with cannabis oil. Of the 35 patients whose cases they reviewed, eight had used the oil to treat cancer-related pain, depression, and nausea. In summary: • A woman of 60 with breast cancer using CBD-rich oil reported no noticeable difference in her symptoms or disease progression. • A woman of 65 with B-cell Lymphoma who used oil of both ratios experienced between 90 minutes and two hours pain relief, and increased energy. The Milagro oil provided more relief of all symptoms without psychoactivity. Reduced opiate use. Living well despite significant loss of mobility. Continuing chemotherapy. • A man of 70 using only flour-based capsules for lung cancer. Twelve years ago he was diagnosed with stage IV lung cancer and underwent chemotherapy and radiation. He then quit all conventional treatment and began relying on a healthy diet and marijuana. Six months ago he was admitted into hospital and told he had two weeks to live. We took him home again and treated him with CBD-rich capsules made from flour and organic virgin coconut oil, and the anti-cancer diet recommended by Donald Abrams (see “Cancer and Nutrtion” in O’Shaughnessy’s, Autumn 2011). He continues to take capsules made from a combination of Cannabis sativa, indica, and CBD-rich trim. He reports increased energy and ease in sleeping. He has been confined to a wheelchair since he returned from the hospital, but has graduallyincreased mobility. • A 48-year-old man, employed, using CBD-rich oil for medullary thyroid cancer found it too psychoactive for daily use. Uses one CBD oil cap at bedtime, reports enhanced mood, increased energy (not desired), sense of well being much improved, reduced motor control, reduced anxiety, no effect on low-level pain and low-level nausea, slightly high feeling, slight dry mouth. • An 84-year-old man, hemophiliac, with prostate cancer and other serious illnesses, using 1:1 CBD:THC flour capsules, reported initial relief, followed by loss of effectiveness for insomnia and mobility over the course of six or seven months. Recently using capsules from freshly harvested CBD-rich plants and reports “a good night’s sleep!” It is suspected that the age of the original batch may have been responsible for its reduced lack of effectiveness. • A 52-year-old man with HIV/AIDS and hepatic liver cancer (stage IV when diagnosed), used 1:1 Milagro oil for eight months, 1 gram/day. Too psychoactive at first. After one month experienced dramatic reduction in pain, tension, discomfort. Two MRIs showed reduced lympathic tumor growth. The patient lived well for nearly one year, which was far beyond his prognosis. He had undergone a single chemotherapy treatment (chemoembolization) which resulted in the reduction of the specific liver tumor targeted. Chemotherapy had no effect on the lymphatic tumor. Oncologist suggested that the Milagro oil may have played a role in visible reduction of the lymphatic tumor. • A 64-year-old man using Milagro oil, .5 gram/day for prostate cancer, also underwent extensive chemotherapy and radiation but PSA increased significantly. Recently began taking CBD-rich flour capsules in conjunction with Milagro oil (one gram/day) and reports reduced pain and insomnia, increased energy and a joyful sense of well-being. As we go to press it is reported that his PSA has been reduced significantly. • A 65-year-old man using CBD-rich oil and flour capsules —but not high-THC Milagro— for advanced prostate cancer has regained vigor. “He was barely able to speak and now his voice his strong,” Corral reports. • A 65-year-old man began using Milagro oil for colon cancer (stage IV) in October. Reports significant relief of pain and nausea, sense of well-being and hopefulness. Other Applications WAMM members have used Milagro oil beneficially in treating a wide range of conditions and symptoms. Corral generalizes that Milagro oil with equal THC and CBD content “offers profound pain relief,” usually lasting for an hour and a half to two hours. It is capable of reducing neuropathic pain and enabling people to reduce opioid use. “For those patients who find Milagro stimulating it is taken during the day. In some cases increased psychoactivity was reported. Feeling of well-being was commonly reported.” The CBD-rich oil “appears to relieve insomnia, pain, and acts as an antispasmatic. It, too, has significant effect on feeling of well being.” Corral and Paquin also tracked several WAMM members who use Harlequin (3-to-2 CBD to THC) in smoked form. “All reported it to be effective, manageable and easy to use,” they found. Corral says, “In WAMM we don’t really do one thing. Obviously, marijuana is part of our focus —it is a remarkable tool in the effort to relieve suffering, opening the door to many possibilities. But we encourage each other to consider the whole organism, to consider what we eat and the way we think. We engage in exercises to enrich our lives and our health. We participate in the production of medicine for each other from gardening to making the capsules, from cooking for each other to sitting by bedsides of our ill friends. “WAMM is a true collective. Many members attend either weekly meetings or come into our workspace to share informa­tion, interaction, and interdependence that draws them from the isolation that often accompanies illness. “We work with members to identify and resolve the many issues they face. Patients are encouraged to participate in applica­tions of wellness from exercise to alkaliz­ing our systems (mainly by reducing sugar intake). We support patients to explore all means of healing. This includes allopathic as well as alternative medicine, exercises in neuroplasticity, and simply thinking good thoughts. “Over the last 20 years in our efforts to provide care for patients we have come to understand that there is much that we can do to affect our healing process. Medical marijuana has many benefits, and one is that it can affect consciousness. It can make us more aware and open to the many tools available in the miracle of self-healing. Since there is no cure for death it may even open us to the unexplored wonder of that inevitability.” Fred Gardner is the managing editor of O’Shaughnessy’s, the Journal of Cannabis in Clinical Practice.

Com o passar do tempo a situação vai melhorando, olha só agora, as prisões em super-lotação e quem tá preso? o maluco que cultivou canábis no armário... Acho que daqui pra frente vai dar uma aliviada nisso aí (espero eu) e todos vamos poder cultivar sem medo de ir em cana, pois a última coisa que o país quer é prisões super-lotadas de "ganjaman". E espero que os planos do meu conterrâneo Osmar Terra não se concretizem, se não a merda vai ser geral..

Vou levar um cartaz "Olha o F!ta ali!".

X9 se fú!! Parabéns pela atitude correta do seu delega... hoje em dia temos que elogiar os que agem corretamente, porque o que tem de carniceiro por ai não tá no gibi!

Se você sempre pegou escondido do seu pai e ele não sabe que você fuma, isso quer dizer que você é menor de idade, né? De outra forma não precisaria esconder do pai maconheiro, to certo?

With the Supreme Court now at least considering a definitive statement in favor of gay marriage and support for marriage equality now practically a litmus test issue for Democratic politicians, Americans across the political spectrum are expressing surprise at how rapidly this once marginalized idea became something like a national consensus. Though equality remains law in fewer than a dozen states and no one is holding their breath to get gay married in Alabama or Arkansas, everybody gets that the debate is largely over. Even archconservative thought leader Rush Limbaugh has admitted it’s only a matter of time. But if you were surprised at how quickly marriage equality happened, get ready for another shock: pot’s going to be legal too. The same demographic and cultural changes that propelled marriage equality to majority status are already pushing support for legal pot to the same place. TPM analyzed all available, nationwide polling data on the questions of full marijuana legalization and marriage equality for the past 18 years and found public opinion on the two issues has taken a nearly identical trajectory. In the mid-1990’s, average public support and opposition for both marriage equality and marijuana legalization was at fairly similar levels. In 1995, 25 percent of those polled supported marijuana legalization while 73 percent opposed it. One year later, 27 percent of people polled backed marriage equality while 68 percent were against it. Over the next decade and change support for both marriage equality and marijuana legalization grew to similar levels. Currently, an average of 50.6 percent of people polled this year support gay marriage and 42.6 percent oppose it. The most recent polling on marijuana legalization is from last year and shows average support at 48.5 percent and average opposition at 48 percent. Though marijuana legalization is slightly behind marriage equality in terms of public opinion, it has enjoyed a steadier climb along the way to earning the support of nearly half the country. As the accompanying chart shows, backing and opposition to marriage equality has undergone some dramatic dips and peaks over the last seventeen years. On the other hand, support for marijuana legalization has simply moved, pardon the pun, higher and higher each year. This could be an indication marijuana legalization may enjoy an even smoother ride to ultimate approval than marriage equality. TPM spoke with activists working on both issues and they identified several reasons marijuana legalization may have a less bumpy road along the way to earning nationwide support. Erik Altieri, a spokesman for the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws, a pro-marijuana lobbying group, said a major factor behind this may be legalizations natural appeal among some conservatives and libertarians who see it as a civil liberties issue. “I think our arguments have done a little bit of a better job in appeal to financial conservatives and libertarians in a way that gay marriage hasn’t,” Altieri said. “Marijuana legalization fits into almost any ideology you can think of. That’s why you see these odd bedfellows supporting it, you know, Barney Frank and Ron Paul. It’s not a wedge issue anymore.” A consultant who has worked on the national pro-marriage equality campaign agreed marijuana legalization has natural appeal to conservatives. They also pointed out marriage equality has entrenched opposition among religious, social conservatives — something pot legalization lacks. “The argument for legalization has really been sort of couched in medical usage. You still have to sell marriage. Not everyone knows a gay person or a gay person who wants to marry their same-sex partner. Everyone knows someone who smokes weed,” the consultant said. “There’s not sort of a cultural bridge that you need to cross. Unless they’re under the age of 45, or even really 30, there is still going to be a social conservative bloc that is extremely hard to move [on marriage equality]. … An herbal, medicinal remedy would not have been frowned upon in the biblical times, so if you’re going to root everything in the Bible, that is not mentioned. … Sex of all kinds is a traditional vice.” In theory, support for pot legalization could stall at the current 50/50 split. But one key trend, the same driving the seemingly inexorable rise of support for gay marriage, makes that outcome highly unlikely. Young people overwhelmingly support legalization. And diehard opposition is heavily concentrated among older voters. “The only group left that doesnt support marijuana legalization by about 50 percent is the elderly,” explained Altieri. Along with its more uninterrupted upward trajectory, growth in support for marijuana legalization is also starting to move at a much faster rate than even the rising support for marriage equality. All of the publicity surrounding the legal battles and marriage equality initiatives that passed last November could lead support to begin climbing again, but thus far that doesn’t seem to have happened. Though a poll from ABC News and the Washington Post last month showed support for gay marriage spiking to an eye-popping 58 percent, it seems to be an outlier and, including 2013, the average percentage of people expressing support for marriage equality in polls has virtually plateaued in the past four years. However, on the marijuana legalization front there does seem to be a pronounced spike in growth of supporters. Between 2009 and 2012 support for marijuana legalization grew at nearly twice the rate it had at any time since 1995. Altieri attributes this rapid increase to the economic crisis. “What I would really pinpoint as the source of this last four year nudge up where we jumped up 10 points is the economy,” Altieri said. “People always knew we shouldn’t be giving such harsh punishments to those arrested for marijuana offenses and spending hundreds of millions of dollars to put them in jail. It became much more imperative when we had the financial crisis and then we’re seeing the debt ceiling.” While marijuana legalization isn’t currently before the Supreme Court, it has made substantial recent strides on the state legislative level. On Election Day last November, voters in Colorado and Washington made those states the first to legalize the production and sale of marijuana for recreational, not medicinal use. This year, there is a bumper crop of marijuana reform proposals growing at both the state and federal level. “As we’ve often taken to saying here at NORML, elections have consequences. And since November, when Washington and Colorado made it legal for people over 21 to use marijuana, we’ve seen an explosion,” said Altieri. “This year, there are 10 measures at the state level to legalize outright. In previous years, we would have been lucky to even have one. In two dozen states there are forty or so marijuana reform bills in play ranging from simple decriminalization, to medicalization and full-on legalization. Where we’re also seeing the movement is on the federal level where we haven’t previously. There are six to seven federal marijuana bills in Congress and they span the scope like we haven’t seen before including a call for a presidential commission to look at medical marijuana and Jared Polis’ legislation to remove marijuana from the Controlled Substances Act, which would essentially end the federal government’s involvement in marijuana prohibition.” Though the percentage of Americans backing marijuana legalization seems to be on track to catch up and potentially even pass the number who support gay marriage, there’s one thing the pro-pot movement doesn’t have that the marriage equality crowd now does. While President Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and a growing crowd of the most high-level national politicians has jumped on the bandwagon of marriage equality backers, the marijuana legalization movement hasn’t had a similar infusion of political star power. In fact, it’s still pretty hard to find any member of Congress or candidate for president who’s endorsed outright legalization. “What you see on the marriage equality side is the power that comes when you get some influential people behind this. They’ve had the benefit of Barack Obama in the past year or so just using the bully pulpit on that issue,” said Altieri. “What we’re kind of waiting for here is that kind of moment to happen.” When voters in Washington and Colorado legalized marijuana late last year, Altieri believes they made it more likely more high-ranking politicians will throw their support behind marijuana legalization. As an example, he pointed to a trio of fairly high-profile, hard on crime officials who are currently backing marijuana decriminalization legislation in New York—Governor Andrew Cuomo, Mayor Michael Bloomberg, and NYPD Commissioner Ray Kelly. “More politicians are going to come aboard as they are realizing that this is no longer a political third rail, that this is a political opportunity for them. They’re self interested creatures at heart, so that’s what theyre paying attention too,” Altieri said. “When Colorado and Washington did what they did, it took the issue to a new level of legitimacy that we’d never seen. This was no longer something that people could make snide comments about on cable news.” Washington and Colorado’s legalization law also set the stage for a pivotal moment where Attorney General Eric Holder will decide whether to intervene in those states and arrest those involved in the (still federally illegal) marijuana trade. Altieri believes more state-level marijuana proposals will appear if Holder and the White House show they won’t punish people in states that adopt new marijuana laws. “We’re still waiting for Eric Holder’s announcement for what the federal law will be on those two states and that could be the linchpin,” said Altieri. ”As long as there’s a giant question mark for a state to consider passing this and potentially putting state employees on the line they might see it as a bit hasty.” So far, Holder has hardly shown signs of being pro-marijuana legalization. Though President Barack Obama promised to respect state marijuana laws during his first White House run Holder’s Justice Department has cracked down on medical dispensaries in recent years. However, NORML believes the continually mounting public support for legalization could reach a tipping point that pushes Washington to act. “History has shown that, once you hit 60 percent on an issue in this country, it gets really hard to go against it,” he said. At the average rate support for legalization has grown since 1995, public opinion will hit that magic 60 percent threshold by 2022. But based on the rate backing for legalization has grown between 2009 and 2012, we could see public support for the issue reach that number bey 2019.

kkkkkkkk È desse jeito mesmo! Ontem mesmo passei por isso kkkkkk "Vamos legalizar todos os crimes então, assassinato, pedofilia e estupro, é isso que vocês querem!!" kkkkkkkk Daí a gente tem que explicar a diferença entre usar a liberdade da vida privada para consumir algo e atentar contra a vida e a honra de terceiros.... mas o ignorante tem medo de descobrir que a verdade dele está em desacordo com um simples raciocínio e uma simples leitura do art 5 da CF, então prefere se abster de entender e continua perpetuando a ignorância...

Não apenas Luz... mas um verdadeiro farol de milha! Então amigos... caso surja outro relato de "aberração" e "injustiça discrepante", acionem um habeas corpus! BIGCUNHA... fortaleceu mais uma vez com sua conhecida sapiência e apoio.

Salve bigcunha! Me desculpe pela MP. Obrigado pelas explicações. Grande abraço!

Deftones é do caralho,agora tô 1 pouco menos "tenso" aushuahsuashuaHASH Não quero\queria botar uma criança nesse mundo,mas numa festinha estilo essa tava meio largadinho de birita e uma novinha me "estuprou" e pode ser que eu vá virar pai chessusssss tô com medo

Gostei do debate mas senti no comentário que o controle sobre a produção do estado estão esquecendo o cultivo para consumo próprio, ponto importante para nossa causa.... no meu caso gosto da cannabis e do hobbit quero continuar os dois! Posso estar errado caso sim alguém me corrija não sei como é o projeto de lei proposto!

Só precisa entender o gráfico que mostra a oposição à regulação da maconha e do casamento gay caindo e o apoio subindo, a questão dos gays tá na suprema corte dos EUA e se for aprovada, não fique surpreso com a venda de maconha sendo regulamentada depois siga cultivando

nao fez mais que obrigação ! cumpriu a Lei ! agora como os caras entram no apartamento apenas com um denuncia! nao tenham medo de dizer nao! e exigir um mandato! enquanto isso o crime ganhou mais um cliente!

Na minha opniao uma das maiores obras primas de todos os tempos, mais a versoes que sao mais perfeitas ainda dessa mesma peca... Exelente para fumar...

Tópico correto, com a informação: http://www.growroom.net/board/topic/47395-rodei-em-casa-e-agora-ou-a-casa-caiu-e-a-familia-descobriu-o-que-fazer-quero-assumir-a-canabis-para-familia-mas-como/ Aqui vc vai ter milhões de ideias, e só escolher a que cabe melhor a sua situação e características de relação. Boa Sorte!

A verdade sempre soubemos... Eles que diziam o contrario. O ser humano utiliza a cannabis desde sempre, e obvio que se fizesse mal ele iria parar.

Rasta não é um cabelo, E sim uma nova concepção. Kaya não é uma droga, E sim a santa Elevação. Vai, irmão Rastafari, Espante o mal pra lá, E combata a corrupção. Cumpra a sua missão. És um soldado de Jah, E um general da Revolução. Jah não te dá uma cruz maior do que você consegue carregar. Arme-se, camarada rasta, Diga agora seu basta!

Então segura a flauta http://youtu.be/r7YZqD7dZcQ

Esses porcos proibicionistas já sabem dos beneficios da maconha há muito tempo. Mas vocês já pararam pra pensar que a galera do 1% quer na verdade cometer controle forçoso da população? Nada que melhore a qualidade de vida ou possa aumentar a expectativa de vida é bem vindo nos planos deles. Acordem galera. Esse povo não quer só manter a erva proibida, ELES QUEREM NOS MATAR.

FUMAR MACONHA... É DIZER AO ESTADO QUE NÃO IMPORTA OQUE ELE O PROÍBA DE FAZER VOCÊ IRÁ FAZER OQUE FOR DA SUA VONTADE DE LIVRE ARBÍTRIO FUMAR MACONHA... É TER DECORADO DE COR O PARÁGRAFO DA BÍBLIA “E disse Deus: Eis que vos tenho dado toda a erva que dê semente que está sobre a face de toda a terra; e toda a árvore, em que há fruto que dê semente, ser-vos-á para mantimento.” FUMAR MACONHA... É PRESENCIAR O COLEGA AO LADO FUMANDO 20 CIGARROS DE NICOTINA EM UM PERÍODO DE 24 HORAS E AINDA TER QUE OUVIR: "MACONHA VAI TE MATAR UM DIA" FUMAR MACONHA... É FRITAR O ULTIMO OVO DA GELADEIRA, E VALORIZAR UM OVO FRITO COMO SE FOSSE O PRATO MAIS CARO DO MELHOR BAQUETE FUMAR MACONHA... É COMPARTILHAR SEU ULTIMO CAMARÃOZINHO PRA "SALVAR" UMA RODA DE MAIS DE 5 PESSOAS SABENDO QUE TAMBÉM SERÁ "SALVO" UM DIA Á LEALDADE DE PESSOAS QUE ACABOU DE CONHECER FUMAR MACONHA... É TER A CONSCIÊNCIA QUE PROÍBIR UMA SEMENTE CRIADA POR DEUS É ABSURDO E FORA DE COMPREENSÃO FUMAR MACONHA... É PELO MENOS UM DIA NA VIDA, SEM COMETER CRIME ALGUM TER TIDO QUE DESVIAR DE UM POLICIAL PAGO PARA SERVIR E LHE PROTEGER FUMAR MACONHA... É COMPREENDER A MUSICA DE UMA FORMA ÚNICA IMPOSSÍVEL DE SER COMPREENDIDA DA MESMA FORMA COM O AUXILIO DA MESMA POR MAIS QUE TENTEM PROVAR O CONTRÁRIO. FUMAR MACONHA... É SABER OQUE ESTA USANDO, CONHECER SUAS CAUSAS ASSUMIR SER USUÁRIO SEM O MENOR PESO NA CONSCIÊNCIA FUMAR MACONHA... É COMPREENDER O MUNDO DE UM FORMA COMPLETAMENTE DIFERENTE E INÉDITA DE QUEM NUNCA O FEZ... PELO MENOS UMA UNICA VEZ NA VIDA FUMAR MACONHA... É NECESSÁRIO PARA UMA VIDA SEM PRECONCEITOS!

Lopzter, Com todo respeito mas isso tá parecendo fumo de cadeia, cara. Não fume isso, muito menos pague 10 x 1 nisso ai. Você está sendo roubado na cara dura. Além de fazer um mal incrível. Abraços

porra o cara ta milionário,10p1 nesse fuminho sem vergonha da foto meu deus.

Uma coisa que notei muito por aqui no Forum, eh que se alguem falar alguma coisa digamos que nao seja mal da maconha, exemplo, eu falei que perdi tempo da minha vida fumando maconha ( logico que eu gostava e tudo mais,nao posso negar isso, adorava ) mas poxa foi minha escolha, minha opiniao em falar isso, e ai tem neguim q nao aceita falar nao mal mas tb nao bem da maconha ai ja desceu o pau feio em cima, ate mesmo nesse topico aqui que criei falando o meu relato, teve gente falando que eu estava querendo ganhar medalha porque tinha parado, tb nao eh assim, o pessoal que pensa que so eles sao bons porque fuma maconha tb nao eh assim, tem q respeitar aqueles que pararam de fumar. Resumindo o que quero dizer eh, qualquer critica mesmo que seja construtiva a maconha feita aqui, o pessoal desse a lenha feio, ja estou na casa dos 30 e muitos, nao sou nenhum menino, mas tem muito menino por aqui, nao que isso seja um mal, mas eles as vezes pegam pesado, so quer ver o lado deles, mas a vida e a experiencia chega para todos. E aqui eh um lugr muito massa, gosto de sempre passar pelo growroom, sinto bem aqui. abracao povao!!!

Salve haujob, entendo e compreendo o seu raciocínio, concordo que quando alguma coisa não esta nos fazendo bem devemos deixar ela de lado, ainda mais se tratando de substancias psicoativas. O meu relato é o seguinte, depois de quase 4 anos seguindo a risca, fumando todo dia eu resolvi dar um tempo da cannabis. Me iludi, achei que quando deixasse de fumar minha vida iria se resolver de uma hora pra outra e mudanças iam acontecer, engano meu. Esse tempo só me fez concluir que não é a cannabis que muda a nossa vida, e sim nós mesmos. Desde dezembro do ano passado que não fumo um, posso te falar que não tive problema em parar e nem sinto vontade. Mas há momentos que estou fazendo coisas que curto muito, e penso como seria bom estar chapado.. Na fase que me encontro não tenho como plantar e não quero recorrer ao trafico. Porém uma coisa é certa, assim que as coisas 'se ajeitarem' por aqui a primeira coisa que vou fazer, voltar a cultivar minhas plantas e apreciar meu baseado.

Gostei muito do relato do brother HAUJOB ai...Me fez ver algo parecido que aconteceu na minha familia. Vou tentar resumir: tenho 28 anos. Fumo há mais ou menos 11 anos. Tenho tambem um irmao com cerca de 42 anos. Esse cara fuma maconha desde os 16~17. Num tempo onde ele dizia: "eu fumava na rua, ninguem nem desconfiava que akilo era maconha..." De uns tempos pra cá, as pessoas que o rodeavam (principalmente a familia) notaram que o bixo estava ficando "bola". Se arrumava pra sair, tomar um sorteve, entrava no carro e perguntava: " Estamos indo pra onde mesmo?" Por pressao da esposa ele resolvou dar um tempo. Ficou uns meses sem fumar, dps voltou com menos frequencia e fuma ate hoje. Pra mim é fato que a o corpo humano sem a maconha (e qualquer outra substancia que ele nao "nasceu" precisando podem fazer mal ao individuo, pois de qualquer maneira, por menos que sejam os males, estao botando fumaça pra dentro do teu pulmão). É o que eu acho. Devemos ressaltar tambem, que o importante é o cara estar feliz, fumando 1 kilo por dia, ou 1 grama por ano. Não importa. Tem mt neguinho aki que se tem 18 anos ou mais, aparenta ter MUITO MENOS QUE ISSO. Nao quero citar nomes, pra nao começar as discussoes sem pé nem cabeça que ja vi varios aqui começar, sem motivo algum. Temos que respeitar a vontade e os direitos das pessoas. Do maconheiro que fuma baseados de 50g, da mulher que gosta de outra mulher, do cara que é gay e "empresta" a bundinha dele, do noiado que gosta de fumar pedra...e por ai vai...Cada um sabe o que é melhor pra sua vida. Acredito que ninguem daki deu baseados pra o Haujob mt menos o disse o que ele deve ou nao deixar de fazer. Hoje, eu vejo a maconha como algo positivo em minha vida atualmente, principalmente para diminuir minha ansiedade (me considero um cara super ansioso!). Fumo em media 2 baseados por dia, mas ja xeguei a fumar sim basedo de 50g (nao sozinho, claro), isso fez parte da minha adolescencia e de meus amigos que conviveram e convivem ate hoje. O fato de ser muito ou pouco, depende do seu acesso, eu acho. Aqui no NE por exemplo, 50g de maconha custa R$60,00 (do fumo "soltinho", como dizem ai pelo Sul/Sudeste, com belotas que xegam a ter ate o tamanho de um ante-braço, mt melhor e mais barato que qualquer prensado que exista. Com essa quantidade atualmente passo umas 2 ou 3 semanas no maximo, e fumo geralmente a noite quando volto do trabalho, e nos finais de semana fumo mais ainda. E se eu ficasse sem ela hoje, sinceramente nao saberia o que fazer pra ocupar o tmepo que dedido a maconha (tanto no cultivo, como no uso). Eu quero sim um dia parar de fumar, nao agora...mas pretendo parar sim. Me dedicar a outras coisas. Enfim, devemos refletir (mesmo que chapados) sobre o que o maluco contou, e ver se de repente, nao estamos fazendo uso errado dessa erva sagrada. Parabens Haujob pelas palavras. Parabens ao moderador BIGCUNHA, que mesmo com toda moral que ele tem, foi um dos mais humildes aqui entre outros que independentemente de fumar maconha ou não respeitaram as palavras do maluco ai. E para os que "zuaram" com o depoimento do cara, se enxerguem pois o mundo nao gira ao redor de vocês. Abraços.

Tava ouvindo um samba e e fumando um agora na hora do rango, pra relaxar e voltar a trampar com menos streess e me lembrei de vc.. Tudo que é muito, é demais Peço: me perdoe a redundância Entrelinhas só quero lembrar Que a terra fértil um dia se cansa É uma questão de esperar Relógio que atrasa não adianta E o remédio que cura Também pode matar Como água demais mata a planta Isso aí.. sorte na sua nova jornada... Eu continuo gostando mais do que lasanha... fumo todas e não abro mão... []'s

É uma boa, eu já parei por 9 ano 3 meses e 7 dias contados. Minha vida deu um up sim, me formei, passei em vários concursos e depois voltei a usar. Agora planejo um novo stop pois já vai fazer 10 anos que voltei passam rápido. hehehehe Mas agora vou diminuir os intervalos, eu acredito que no final vou ter o melhor dos dois mundos.

Pelo menos em 26 de junho vc ainda tava na atividade e tinha coisa boa em mãos... a parada tah meio "'salivada" , mas era teu, não tava bolando contigo, então tá de boa! :-) Ciclos, a vida é feita deles. Daqui a pouco começam outros, retoma-se outros... e vidão que segue! Curta seus momentos e não arrependa-se do que fez, só do que não fez; somos senhores de nossos destinos e possuidores do dom sagrado do livre arbitrio, de decidir e ponderar sobre nossas escolhas. CARPE DIEM, Seize the day!

Bom acho que isso todo mundo já passou, parei!!! Vou expor uma coisa aqui. Eu tinha parado durante um tempo também uns 2 a 3 anos, o que aconteceu? Nada mudou. Depende como você usa a Cannabis, tinha época que no congelador se tivesse menos que 300gr começava a dar desespero pra arrumar mais, a republica era lotada, maconha o dia todo um atrás do outro.Depois você começa a trabalhar e vai diminuindo gradativo fumando um as vezes. No meu caso depois de 15 anos fumando e parando algumas vezes, na época que eu tava parado estava muito estressado com problemas, não devido a ausência da erva mas por problemas pessoais. Acabei necessitando de algum medicamento para dormir, sabe o que eu fiz? Voltei a fumar um as vezes a noite, velho melhor coisa que eu fiz , nada de medicamentos arrebentando meu estomago meu figado. No momento não penso em parar mas acho muito boa sua atitude.

acho q tu fumou tanto q agora o normal era estar chapado, e ninguem quer ficar normal dai tu voltou a ficar normal pra ficar chapado kkkkkkk quanto tu acostumar a ser normal tu vai querer ser chapado de novo deu pra entender? kkkk

Ja voltei. Rsrsrs.

Eu tambem parei de fumamaconha !

Esse texto dele já aparaceu aqui a bastante tempo, mas é sempre um prazer lê-lo. Tem gente que se entope de maconha pra ficar doidão, e tem quem a use para evoluir como ser humano. Nunca mais fumei como fumava antes
