2012-01-26T15:17:00.001Z

It's been at busy week at Pick 'n' Mix Towers with a whole host of new cannabis seeds going up on the website!

We should perhaps start with the 2011 High Times Cannabis Cup winner Liberty Haze from Barney's Farm. We're still waiting for the guys at The Farm to send us over the full description and image, but as soon as we have them both we'll get them online.

There's a load of new kush strains to start off with:

And a mixture of all other sorts from various genetics and across several countries:

Cannabis Seeds Are the Bomb at Pick 'n' Mix Seeds

2011-11-21T12:53:00.001Z

As the nights begin to draw in and the weather takes a turn for the worse, most people's minds are drawn away from outdoor activities, like surfing, sunbathing and long walks in the summer sun of this beautiful country of ours, and back towards more sedentary, indoor activities – hobbies and collections, crafts and reading: activities where you can snuggle up in front of a fire and get immersed in them. And it doesn't take much imagination to work out what this season means for us here at Pick 'n' Mix Seeds. Yes, that's right – redoubled efforts and amazing results from our on-going investigations into the ever-burgeoning array of high quality cannabis seeds from around the world.

Going up in Holy Smoke – new cannabis seeds!

2011-11-14T15:20:00.001Z

Traditionally, there are some hot spots around the globe when it comes to cannabis seeds that all our regular collectors will be very familiar with. Historically, the countries of central and southern Asia have provided a rich variety of seeds, with great diversity in yield and THC, and the Middle East and North Africa are well established as the home of great weed seeds. Of course, in more recent times, the Netherlands has become synonymous with its advances in genetic hybridisation, creating new and improved strains that we at Pick 'n' Mix Seeds are great fans of.

However, these are not the only places that great cannabis seeds are being cultivated for mass collection. And, as you will be well aware, Pick 'n' Mix Seeds are always on the lookout for diverse sources to allow our clients to collect not just the most popular, but also the widest array of high quality seeds.

The new Holy Smoke seeds recently added to the range, fit this profile precisely. Hailing from the Southern African countries of Mozambique and Malawi, these new cannabis seeds offer the best available opportunities to collect from a region that has sensational natural resources but, because of regular periods of political uncertainty, has yet to establish itself and capture the public imagination in the way some of its neighbours in the north of the continent have.

The Mozambique Poison seeds are, perhaps the jewel in the crown of the seed bank. The full grown plant is a beautiful specimen and it is exceptionally highly regarded by the healers of local tribes. A rare seed this far from its homeland and one we think you’re going to love. Whilst Malawi Gold has a greater reputation around the world, it is still a fantastic for us to be able to provide these weed seeds as it is amongst South Africa’s most sought after Sativa. Mulanje Gold, named after the mountain in Mulawi, delivers another fantastic insight into the attraction of Sativa. With strong genetics and an exceptional THC level of over 20%, this will be a brilliant addition to your collection of cannabis seeds.

All the Holy Smoke seeds are great additions to our repertoire and we think you’ll be very pleasantly surprised by these lesser known but equally stunning examples from a part of the world that has been under the radar for too long.

Willie Nelson arrested for cannabis possession

2010-11-29T12:54:00.001Z

Country star Willie Nelson, a long-time activist for the legalisation of marijuana, has been arrested for cannabis possession. The singer could spend up to six months in prison, with a Texas sheriff promising "to make him cook and clean".

"We treat him like anybody else," sheriff Arvin West told the El Paso Times. Nelson, 77, was en route from California to Austin, Texas, where he owns a ranch. Cruising the highways on a bus called the Honeysuckle Rose III, Nelson came to a border control stop at 9am on Friday morning. Even at that early hour a suspicious smell allegedly wafted from inside the vehicle. Agents searched the bus, discovering six ounces (170g) of marijuana. Nelson reportedly admitted the drugs were his and was taken to Hudspeth county jail.

"He said he feels great," harmonica player Mickey Raphael told Rolling Stone. But although Nelson posted $2,500 (£1,600) bail, sheriffs say he may return for a longer stay behind bars. "He could get 180 days in county jail," West said. "If he does, I'm going to make him cook and clean."

In 2006, Nelson narrowly avoided jail after being arrested for cannabis possession in Louisiana. Officers seized more than 20 ounces (567g) of marijuana and 3 ounces (85g) of magic mushrooms; he was later sentenced to six months' probation. "Both bus drivers were over 50 years old," Nelson explained at the time. "The other guys were 60 years old. My sister is 75, I'm 73, so it's like they busted an old folks' home." In January, six members of Nelson's band were charged with possession of moonshine and marijuana in North Carolina.

Nelson, famous for singing songs such as Always On My Mind and To All the Girls I've Loved Before, is a supporter of marijuana legalisation. He sits on the advisory board for the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws and has organised fundraisers for the group. "It's a matter of time," he said in 2008, "a matter of education, a matter of people finding out what cannabis, marijuana is for, why it grows out of the ground and why it's prescribed as one of the greatest stress medicines on the planet."

MS sufferer from Great Kingshill calls for change to policy on cannabis drug

2010-11-24T12:01:00.001Z

A 66-YEAR-OLD who suffers from multiple sclerosis has called for a cannabis-based drug to be prescribed by the NHS in Buckinghamshire.

Sativex, an oral spray designed to reduce pain, has taken 11 years to develop and was first licensed by NHS in June this year.

The move was widely welcomed by MS sufferers and campaigners, but it was decided that NHS Buckinghamshire, the county's primary care trust, would not routinely prescribe the drug.

It was labelled a “low priority” and not cost effective in July, leaving Great Kingshill resident Peter Bridger disappointed.

The dad-of-four had been on a trial for Sativex for four years, but came off the drug 18 months ago when the trial ended.

He said: “It really really worked. As soon as I came off it my waterworks went haywire and I had to be fitted with a pipe through my tummy.

“It helped with the spasms, the bladder problems, the pain and the dizziness – that's four of the main five symptoms.”

NHS Buckinghamshire does fund Sativex, but only in exceptional circumstances.

It said it welcomes an application by Mr Bridger for his case to be considered by a funding review panel.

Mr Bridger said he will prepare an application, but believes the drug should be routinely proscribed. It costs £11-a-day to buy privately.

The MS Society shares this view and Dr Jayne Spink, a director of the charity, said: “We’ve been overwhelmed by enquiries from people across England who are struggling to access the treatment; it’s clear it’s subject to a postcode lottery.”

“The reality is that people with MS living in this area face a complicated and time consuming process to get Sativex, where as people in other parts of England are using and benefiting from the drug now.”

NHS Warwickshire is one primary care trust which does prescribe it.

Mr Bridger, a former engineer, believes there is a stigma surrounding cannabis, which may have affected the thinking of the NHS in Bucks.

He said: “It's the fact it's made from cannabis and all the feeling that provokes, there's a fear of it and that gets in the way of the science."

Jenny Murray, a spokesman for NHS Buckinghamshire, said: “We are committed to carefully considering each case and processing funding requests as quickly as possible, paying particular attention to the evidence of safety and effectiveness of the proposed treatment and the individual circumstances of the patient.”

She said if sufficient information is provided for the panel, decisions about funding cases take no longer than six weeks.

Prop 19 to legalise marijuana defeated in California

2010-11-03T10:40:00.001Z

The movement to legalise marijuana suffered a blow as a ballot proposition that would have allowed the growth, use and taxation of the drug in California was rejected by voters.

The loss of Proposition 19, though not unexpected, was still a disappointment to many of those who had fought and campaigned hard for a measure that had won a lot of support for a subject once considered politically taboo.

The movement was based in the Bay Area city of Oakland and spearheaded by Richard Lee, founder of Oaksterdam University, a cannabis business school that is flourishing around the already legal medical marijuana trade.

At a party that had been intended as a victory celebration but turned into a wake, Lee promised that the movement to legalise the drug would fight on. Clutching a bag of marijuana buds Lee, who uses a wheelchair, said Prop 19 was just part of a long-term struggle that would be back. "We need to do a better job of building a state-wide organisation to educate voters that prohibition is hurting them," he said.

In California, at least, that might not be too hard. The medical marijuana industry has already made the drug commonplace over large stretches of the state, where it is widely available with a doctor's prescription and dispensed in cafes. Though nominally for medical use only, there are few controls on who gets prescriptions and what for. It is even dispensed in the form of marijuana-infused ice-cream.

In downtown Oakland, several city blocks have undergone urban renewal because of Oaksterdam and the numerous marijuana-themed gift shops and cafes that surround it. The businesses also bring hundreds of thousands of dollars each year to the city's cash-strapped coffers in the form of local taxes.

But full legalisation has for now been defeated. Not least among the reasons was the fact that the federal government – in the shape of attorney general Eric Holder – had vowed to crack down on any legalisation process, using federal authority.

Lee said that position had made the campaign in support of Prop 19 very difficult. "It is tough when you have to go against your own federal government and the attorney general," he said. "That is a tough thing to battle."

He added that the high level of support for Prop 19 should at least help the cause of stopping being jailed for using, growing or selling the drug. "45% of people voting for it makes it hard to lock people up for it," he said.

The mood among activists was not all doom and gloom. They have said all along that the process was about starting a debate. "We've already won in terms of education. We are making the case that prohibition of marijuana is wrong and people will eventually come around to it," said pro-Prop 19 volunteer Rosalinda Montez Palacios.

Mr Nice: Howard Marks interview

2010-10-05T09:43:00.001+01:00

Notorious drug smuggler Howard Marks was once Britain's most wanted man.

Now, as a new film tells the story of his extraordinary life, the adopted Loiner talks Rhys Ifans, ex-wives and his new career as a crime writer. Interview by Grant Woodward.

Howard Marks was once famously described as sounding like Richard Burton while looking like a Rolling Stone.

That, together with his rollercoaster life as an international cannabis smuggler, has always made him perfect fodder for the big screen treatment.

Sure enough, this week sees the release of Mr Nice, the movie based on his bestselling autobiography of the same name. The only surprise is that it has taken someone so long to make it.

By the mid-1980s, Marks had 43 aliases (including the aforementioned Mr Nice), along with 89 phone lines and 25 companies operating throughout the world.

He was smuggling consignments of up to 30 tons of cannabis from Pakistan and Thailand to America and Canada and had contact with organisations as diverse as the CIA, MI6, the IRA, and the Mafia.

His motivation, apart from the obvious financial benefits, was his belief that the drug should be legalised. He even went so far as to stand for parliament on the issue in 1997, once he'd served seven years of a 25-year jail term at one of America's toughest prisons.

Now 65, Marks says he thinks the filmmakers have done a "first-class" job translating his story for the screen. Though he admits the experience of watching your life play out in front of you is a bizarre one.

"It's obviously different from seeing any other film because it all seems strangely familiar," he says, in his distinctive South Welsh burr.

"A hell of a lot has been cut out from the book because otherwise it would have to be about a week long, so it differs a bit in that respect.

"They had to make a few fictional shortcuts just to hold the whole thing together. For instance, they had to roll a couple of my ex-wives into one... which I suppose is what I was trying to do at the time," he chuckles.

"But as far as capturing the emotions and tensions I think it does a better job than the book, just because you have the sensory input of the film format which lends itself to creating a much stronger emotional impact."

In a part he was seemingly born to play, the role of Marks is filled by fellow Welshman Rhys Ifans, who brings a rakish charm to the character as he plots daring deals with eccentric accomplices, while all the time trying to keep one step ahead of the authorities.

Marks reveals the idea of Ifans playing him had been a done deal for more than a decade, after the pair met while hanging out with rock band Super Furry Animals.

"Yes, Rhys and I pretty much shook on that about 14 years ago," he says. "Just before he became a famous actor and before Mr Nice had been published we had a drunken conversation in Cardiff.

"We agreed that if my book was ever published and if it was ever made into a film, and if he did ever become an actor, it would be alright if he played me. And there's never been any other choice in my mind since then."

Given their obviously close friendship, it surely wasn't too much of a stretch for Ifans?

"No, he didn't really need to do any studying because we're good friends and see each other pretty regularly. He asked me the occasional question, what lullaby I'd sing to my kids and stuff like that, but that was about it.

"There are some very funny bits in the film but there are some sad moments in there as well. The stuff in Terre Haute Penitentiary (where Marks was imprisoned) brought back memories. Not altogether bad ones, but a few bad ones, yes.

"As far I was concerned they had full licence to do what they wanted with it because once you sell the rights to something that's it. But I thought they did an excellent job."

Marks, whose partner works as a teacher in Leeds, moved to the city about five years ago and lives in a waterfront apartment.

"I love it," he says. "I've got my own bar there (he is involved with Brewery Wharf bar Azucar) which makes things easier."

For the last two years he has been concentrating on writing crime fiction and his first novel is due out next March.

Set from the mid-1970s to the present day and based around drugs and corrupt cops in Cardiff, he says a lot of it is written from personal experience.

But before that he is heading out on another tour of his hugely successful one-man show, An Audience with Mr Nice, stopping off in his adopted home city later this month.

"It's all a bit hyperactive at the moment," he says, clearly relishing every minute of his busy schedule. "But yes, life seems to be going pretty well."

Exclusive interview with Green House Seeds

2010-09-24T17:09:00.001+01:00

We caught up with the guys at Green House Seeds to find out what they're up to and we've put together this exclusive interview just for you!

Q: We’ll start with an easy question. What’s your favourite strain of cannabis?

A: My favourite strain is Super Lemon Haze. This has a fruity Hazy taste and it lasts a long time. Especially with a vaporizer it is great!

Q: How did you get into producing seeds?

A: When we won the first Cannabis Cup in 1993 people asked us for the seeds of the winning strains. Our coffeeshop at that time was unique in Amsterdam. We were specialised in Cannabis and not so much in hashish. Also the strains we had were very unique. We were breeding strains that nobody had. After so many people had asked us we started to produce seeds.

Q: You cleared up again at the 2009 HTCC, giving you a total of 34 wins. What’s the secret of your success?

A: Our secret, in my point of view, is that we are always looking for something new. Coloured seeds, terpen profiles, Strain Hunters, grow DVD, these things are quite innovative. We also do our own fieldwork, so we know what we're talking about.

During Cannabis Cup we try to spent time with all the people who come to visit us. So they feel special and they are. We have met over the years unique people with many crazy and funny stories.

Q: Last year you introduced colour-coded seeds, what will be your next innovation?

A: I cannot tell too much about our new projects, but I can tell that we work at the moment with strains with low THC and high CBD’s. Very interesting for medical patients.

Q: In 2008 you embarked on the first Strain Hunters expedition to Africa, and in 2009 you went to India. Have you got another expedition planned, and if so, where do you plan on going?

A: In 2010 we planned Strain Hunters in Morocco. Also in 2011 we have planned two or three new Strain Hunter movies. The countries we keep secret because you have to understand that governments are not waiting for us with open arms. Some situations are potentially dangerous and very risky.

Q: When do you plan on releasing the genetics found from Strain Hunters?

A: Well new strains from Strain Hunters will take a few years. To make new crosses until F5 you need about two years.

Q: One of our most asked questions is when some of the new strains, particularly Chemdog, will be released. Do you have any dates yet?

A: Jack Herer is available now and Chemdog will be out in the end of the year. In seed production some strains are more fertile than others. So Chemdog needed a little more research.

Q: Finally, do you any more strains or anything else in the pipeline?

A: We are working on many strains at the moment but as you understand I cannot tell anything about it.

Thanks for your time and good luck for the future!

Welcoming The Cali Connection Cannabis Seeds

2010-09-15T14:59:00.001+01:00

We're proud to announce that we are now stockists of The Cali Connection Seeds Here's some info about the company:

The Cali Connection is a Seed Company with one intention, to supply the world with Cali's best genetics in seed form. The Connection is the umbrella for some of Cali's best breeders. These breeders from SoCal to NorCal have obtained and have been growing Cali's finest for years and look forward to providing their favourites with the rest of the world. The possibilities are endless when you have the best of the best to work with. True genetics is our mission; our meaning of true genetics is as followed.  The Cali Connection's meaning of True Genetics: Our goal is to make sure that in every possible way we provide a seed that is true to the genetics of its mother and or hybrid or cross...

So for those that might question my breeding techniques, or have seen or read or heard that my techniques are good or true.. Here is what’s what so everything is on the table...keep in mind I didn’t get into breeding because I wanted to be a breeder I got into breeding because I found out some of my cuts got into the hands of probably the worst breeder to have them fall into the hands of REZDOG. Me and him were already at each others throats before he manage to finagle them...

On my SFV projects. Here is exactly how and or what’s what...

I received pollen from capt he gave me afghani#1 pollen. I then hit my SFV OG Kush clone. Thus creating f1's this was seriously 2 years ago. I will put an exact date when I go through the records and see. I made the f1's ran those and chose a good male and female to make f2's. I didn’t have too many beans to work with so I was just hoping to get lucky and I did. I then took the clone of the male I had and grew him out and made the OG Kush F2 and BX1 seeds. Once I harvested the f2's I ran about 150 of them to find what I was looking for to continue the line. The SFV OG Kush phenotype closest to the mom... I had around 50 females and 20 males to choose from. After grabbing clones and running the moms to find what I was looking for. I narrowed it down to around 10-20 ladies and I believe 1-2 males... I then vegged the clones from the perspective mother and flowered them, these f2's were pollinated by the male I chose, creating f3's. From the f1 to the f3 I spent a solid year and a half on, it also helps having a few flowering spots to work with though, not just one spot ya know. After harvesting the f3 seeds I ran again about 200 of them this time. I like to select from large lots not 20-30-even 50 seeds. I like selection. After the start of the f3's I saw a lot of uniformity in the plants once I grabbed clones from them, I flowered them thus resulting in some serious selection and culling... some were killer but to tall and lengthy, some where not to dank, some were really dank but didn’t yield, some were just right... I ended up with a serious stud male out of about 25 different dudes. And shit I don’t even know how many ladies about 50 that were what I was looking for... after harvest on them and smoke and features and this and that I ended up with 20 ladies that I was in love with.. I worked them down to the top 3... Which I am flowering out with Chemdawg and master Kush to get my smoke on with as its fire dank just like mommy but from seed. Hahahaha I love it... so my stud male hit the ladies making me an ass load of f4's. I have f4 seeds of OG Kush and BX2 seeds... I have taken me 2 years and probably 1 maybe 2 months to get here... so this isn’t no rush job and it isn’t just a quick thing like some might say... I have put some serious time and effort into making sure these babies are just like the mom and I am doing my best to represent the SFV OG Kush to its truest form via seed.

When I do my f5 I will once again start around 150-200 seeds to narrow down to the one stellar lady and dude. The f5 I make will be SFV OG Kush in seed form male female true to its mommy...

And the 3 strains that they are currently offering:

George Michael sentenced to eight weeks in jail

2010-09-14T16:55:00.001+01:00

LONDON – George Michael was sentenced to eight weeks in jail and lost his license for five years Tuesday for driving under the influence of drugs when he crashed his car into a London photo shop.

A British judge told the wayward star his addiction to marijuana put him and the public at risk.

The former Wham! singer pleaded guilty last month to driving under the influence and possession of cannabis following a July 4 collision between his Range Rover and a Snappy Snaps store in north London.

District Judge John Perkins told the singer he had taken a "dangerous and unpredictable mix" of prescription drugs and marijuana.

"It does not appear that you took proper steps to deal with what is clearly an addiction to cannabis," the judge said. "That's a mistake which puts you and, on this occasion, the public at risk."

Perkins sentenced Michael to the prison time and a 1,250 pound ($1,930) fine during a hearing at Highbury Corner Magistrates' Court.

The judge said Michael would have to serve four weeks of the sentence in prison and the rest on parole.

Michael arrived at court in a chauffeur-driven car, surrounded by four security guards and greeted by a large crowd of fans and photographers. He left with court guards who led him from the courtroom toward the cells, as one person in the public gallery sobbed.

According to police, Michael appeared "spaced out" when they found him sitting in the car, whose engine was still running, in the wee hours of July 4. He acknowledged smoking marijuana and taking a prescription sedative, prosecutors said.

It was the latest in a string of automotive and drug-related mishaps for the 47-year-old star, who has often spoken of his fondness for marijuana.

In February 2006, he was found slumped at the wheel of his car at London's busy Hyde Park Corner. That April, he hit three parked cars while trying to maneuver out of a parking space, and admitted being "a terrible driver."

In October 2006, he was found slumped over the wheel of his car as it blocked an intersection. He pleaded guilty to driving while unfit through drugs and was sentenced to community service.

Michael's lawyer, Mukul Chawla, said the singer felt "profound shame and horror" at his actions.

"It is no exaggeration to describe him as a very kind, considerate and loyal man, constantly concerned for the plight of others," Chawla said. "The prospect he could have put anyone else in danger is an appalling prospect to him."

The judge said he was sending Michael to jail "with regret," and had taken into account his guilty plea and the fact that after the crash he had checked into a clinic to seek help for anxiety, depression and insomnia.

But he said Michael's previous conviction made a prison sentence inevitable.

Michael sighed as sentence was passed. His long-term partner Kenny Goss buried his head in his hands.

Michael gained mega-stardom in his early 20s as half of Wham! and went on to a successful solo career. His first solo album, 1987's "Faith," sold 20 million copies.

In 1998, he was arrested for lewd conduct in a public toilet in Los Angeles after being spotted by an undercover police officer. Michael went on to release a single and video, "Outside," that poked fun at that arrest.

Cannabis can "reduce nerve pain"

2010-08-31T15:01:00.001+01:00

Smoking cannabis has been proven to ease pain for people suffering from nerve damage, in possibly the first scientific test to study inhaling the drug.

Canadian scientists tested four different potency levels of herbal cannabis in 21 patients aged between 25 and 77, and found smoking also reduced anxiety and depression.

Patients with chronic neuropathic pain resulting from surgery or traumatic injury were asked to smoke 25 mg from a pipe three times a day, and researchers found no one suffered serious side-effects.

All those inhaling the most potent drug, which contained 9.4% of the active ingredient THC, reported feeling "high" and euphoric on one occasion, but said they felt less pain, anxiety and depression, and slept better.

Some of these patients said they experienced headaches, dry eyes, dizziness, numbness, coughs and a burning sensation after puffing on the pipe, but none showed a significant change in heart rate, kidney function or vital signs.

Previously, clinical trials used cannabis extract in pill form to treat certain types of pain, to avoid claims of patients getting high. It is thought this report, published in the Canadian Medical Association Journal (CMAJ), is the first to study the effects of smoked cannabis.

George Michael Charged With Drug Possession

2010-08-12T15:32:00.001+01:00

Singer George Michael has been charged with possession of cannabis and driving while under the influence of drink or drugs.

He was arrested near his home in Hampstead in the early hours of July 4 after a minor car crash outside Snappy Snaps, the photographic shop.

The star was charged on Thursday morning and freed on bail.

He will appear before Highbury magistrates on August 24.

"Early one Sunday morning, about a month ago, he had been to the Gay Pride March in London and there was a minor collision between his car and a building," said Sky News' crime correspondent Martin Brunt.

"He was arrested and tested by police. He was bailed and when he returned to the police station in Camden this morning he was told that he would be charged with possession of cannabis and driving while unfit through drink or drugs.

"He has been given bail again and will appear in court in about two weeks time where he will face those charges.

"We don't know whether he will plead guilty or not guilty.

"This is not the first time he has been in this kind of trouble. He has openly talked of his dependence on cannabis and his efforts to try and reduce his intake."

Pot Bylaw Sparks Legal Fire

2010-08-12T15:21:00.001+01:00

Chilliwack is looking at a bylaw to stop licenced medical marijuana growers from growing pot for other licence-holders, “similar” to one introduced recently in Pitt Meadows.

Coun. Chuck Stam, who chairs Chilliwack’s public safety committee, said abuse of the medical marijuana licensing system is a growing problem here, with several licence-holders “parking” their licences on one property, growing more plants than legally permitted.

And Health Canada is not living up to a commitment to inspect the sites to ensure compliance with the rules, he said.

But medical marijuana users and activists say it’s unfair to “punish” all medical marijuana patients because of the actions of a few, and they’ll challenge the Pitt Meadows bylaw in court.

“We don’t need new laws to punish all patients for the actions of one or two who break the rules,” said Norm Smith, a medical marijuana licence-holder in the Fraser Valley.

He said many patients like him suffer physical disabilities that prevent them from growing their own marijuana.

“( The bylaw ) is going to make life tough for people who already have the toughest life out there,” he said, pointing out that medical marijuana is authorized by doctors only as a “medication of last resort.”

Last month, PItt Meadows council gave preliminary approval to a bylaw amendment that clarifies that growing pot for other medical marijuana patients is a home-based business, which is already banned in residential zones.

Growing medical marijuana with a licence will still be permitted in the city.

Pitt Meadows director of operations Kim Grout said the bylaw is aimed at “commercial-type undertakings where someone is being paid to grow for someone else.”

Under the federal regulations, a licence-holder is allowed to grow marijuana for two other licence holders.

Police in Maple Ridge recently seized 1,744 pots plants at a medical marijuana grow-op that was licenced for a maximum 73 plants.

But Smith said most medical marijuana growers are “very much ‘by-the-book’ because they don’t want to lose their licence … they play by the rules.”

Dana Larsen, a pot activist who operates a medical marijuana dispensary in Vancouver, said if municipalities are worried about potential hazards of home grow operations, they should licence and regulate them.

“They would be no more dangerous than growing orchids in your home,” he said.

City inspectors could visit the home, he added, and for a fee verify the grow operation meets safety standards, “instead of driving them underground and making it more dangerous.”

Vancouver lawyer Kirk Tousaw, executive director of the pro-marijuana Beyond Prohibition Foundation, agreed.

He believes the Pitt Meadows bylaw is “discriminatory” and “based on a whole bunch of myths and misconceptions about producing marijuana.”

“I certainly think it’s not within the jurisdiction of municipalities,” he said, and may be a violation of constitutional rights.

A Health Canada spokesman declined comment on the legal questions raised by the Pitt Meadows bylaw, but said the department is “monitoring the situation” and is considering reforms to the access to medical marijuana regulations.

But Victoria city councillor Philippe Lucas said he’d be “amazed” if Health Canada took any action against the Pitt Meadows bylaw, as the department does “as little as possible to meet their constitutional obligations.”

He said one million in Canada use medical marijuana, but only 5,000 licences are issued, while in Oregon the same number of licences are issued among 35,000 users.

“We have some significant problems with the bureaucracy,” he said.

But Lucas said he has “every confidence that users will challenge these laws” being considered by municipalities.

Patients denied cannabis spray

2010-08-05T09:42:00.001+01:00

A CANNABIS-based drug that may relieve symptoms of multiple sclerosis will be denied to Calderdale patients.

NHS Calderdale has confirmed the oral spray Sativex will not be routinely funded for the area's estimated 300 sufferers.

The newly-licensed medicine contains cannabinoids, extracted from cannabis plants, which can help to relieve painful muscle spasms.

There are fears that blocking its use could criminalise patients, who may resort to taking the class B drug instead.

MS sufferer Richard Schofield, from Halifax, said: "Some people say smoking it or having it in a cake does alleviate their problems and I'm quite sure there would be people who would go ahead with it."

Mr Schofield, who said he is satisfied with the medication he is prescribed, added: "For me personally, I don't think Sativex would be of any benefit at the moment, but I'm sure for some people it may well be an answer."

Mr Schofield's wife Liz, a support officer at the Halifax branch of the MS Society, said: "Living with MS is difficult and the symptoms can be very debilitating - anything that helps people manage their condition is good news and it should be made available if there is a clinical need."

The spray has been approved by the Department of Health and was licensed for the first time in the UK in June by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency.

The medicine costs £125 for a 10ml vial - around £11 per patient each day - and the decision to fund it will be down to individual primary care trusts.

NHS Calderdale said it had rejected the drug on advice from the Yorkshire and the Humber Specialised Commissioning Group.

A spokesman for the group said: "We agreed that Sativex does not provide enough benefit to patients to justify its high cost. We also thought that this medicine had not been tested over a long enough time to be able to tell if it will work safely in people with multiple sclerosis, who often need treatment for many months or years."

Laura Weir, head of policy and campaigns at the MS Society, said: "It is extremely unfortunate that Yorkshire and Humber Specialised Commissioning Group have advised PCTs to not fund Sativex.

"People with MS urgently need access to effective treatments and therapies - this decision is yet another example of the continuing postcode lottery that people with MS face."

Morocco: Marijuana Economy Goes up in Smoke

2010-07-30T09:28:00.001+01:00

For generations this remote mountainous town has been the heart of Morocco's cannabis-growing area, where growers earned a reasonable living from cultivating marijuana.

Although growing cannabis was officially illegal, authorities turned a blind eye and farmers had fields of the leafy green weed.

But now farmers are angry that they are being forced to pay bribes to local police to continue growing the crop.

In this village, in the heart of the Rif Mountains, thousands of farmers protested while the police and the army watched helplessly.

“Long live the king!” chanted the crowd, invoking Morocco’s ruler as a shield from police repression. “Stop stealing from us!”

Thousands of families live off the cultivation of cannabis in this region that stretches more than 11,000 square miles. The growing of cannabis is commonly referred to as "the culture of kif," (kif is a term for the dried bud of the female marijuana plant). Farmers say the area's harsh climate makes it impossible to grow anything else.

Although it is illegal to cultivate cannabis, it remains one of Morocco’s most lucrative sources of income. Morocco is estimated to have grown 53,000 tons of cannabis in 2005, according to the most recent figures from the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime. Most of the marijuana is processed into hashish. European countries complain that Morocco is the prime source of the cannabis smuggled into their territories.

The Moroccan government claims to be cracking down on hashish production in accordance with several international treaties.

Since 2003, Morocco has received $28 million euros from the European Union to eradicate the cultivation of cannabis. In addition the United States has given $43 million, between 2005 and 2012, to help farmers find new crops to replace marijuana.

In the past year, Moroccan authorities have cracked down on cannabis production using different strategies, including burning fields.

Marijuana is still openly grown in the villages in the Rif mountains but the farmers claim that their already meager income is now being dramatically reduced by authorities who demand bribes to allow the cultivation to continue.

"There are no alternatives in this region — we are currently in the fifth generation of kif culture — this region needs assistance,” explained Abdellah Ljout, a local representative and social activist. “People are not saying they want to cultivate cannabis. They say they want to survive. They are ready to stop if they find another dignified way to earn a living."

Ljout said he thinks the solution starts first with the political will to eradicate the illegal crop in a region where cannabis has been cultivated for more than 100 years.

The Moroccan government — which declined to comment for this story — enforces the law erratically, he said.

Attempts by police to search one farmer's house for cannabis sparked the anger of the local population. Military and police trucks surrounded the house at 4 a.m. on April 10. But the farmer’s wife barred entry and dozens of neighbors gathered around to support the family.

The next day, an estimated crowd of 10,000 people — mostly young men — gathered in the main street of the village to voice their anger.

Villagers say that the local authorities regularly threaten them with warrants to prevent them from talking. They make sure farmers know that they can arrest them at any time they choose. The authorities invoked the presence of illegal weapons as an excuse to search the house.

"They accused us of having weapons and I told them we did not have any. A policeman checked my father-in-law's house and didn’t find anything,” said Abdelouaret El Bohidi, a cannabis farmer. ”Here, everyone knows each other. They know there aren't any weapons and that we are against weapons.”

In the region, there are a few palatial houses owned by a handful of farmers and middlemen who have profited from cannabis cultivation and the production of hashish. But the vast majority of locals struggle to earn a decent living in the face of obligatory bribes and poor weather conditions.

El Bohidi produces about 10 kilos a year that he sells at $300 each. He says that he has no choice but to bribe the local authorities. But it was the bribery payments to local authorities that brought these cultivators to break their silence.

"This is everything I own: I use it to buy grains, wheat, oil, soap, school books. I use it to pay electricity,” said El Bohidi, referring to a bag of marijuana. “If they take this from me, I will lose my mind. I won’t have anything left to feed my children.”

One farmer who asked to remain anonymous out of fear of retaliation said that two or three times a year he has to bribe the authorities. They usually come to his house and bargain over his freedom.

"If you don't give them anything, you go to jail,” he said. “They have nothing to lose. They throw you in jail to set you as an example to the others."

The farmers want the government to take a strong stance to stop the harassment for bribes.

"If they want to forbid us to cultivate, they should tell us on television, or our elected officials should tell us,” said Mohamed Amaghir, another farmer. “We will cultivate something else if they give us the means to do it. All we are asking for is a piece of bread and nothing else."

'Decriminalise personal drug use', suggests chairman of the Bar Council

2010-07-20T10:27:00.001+01:00

Nicholas Green QC, the chairman of the Bar Council for England and Wales, said it was “rational” to consider “decriminalising personal drug use”.

Taking such a step would save the economy billions of pounds – drug-related crime costs the economy £13billion a year - free up police time, cut crime and improve public health.

However campaigners and MPs rounded on the remarks, made in a newsletter to barristers, saying it sent out the wrong message on drug use.

Mr Green, who runs body which the 4,500 criminal and defence barristers, said: “A growing body of comparative evidence suggests that decriminalising personal use can have positive consequences.

“It can free up huge amounts of police resources, reduce crime and recidivism and improve public health. All this can be achieved without any overall increase in drug usage. If this is so, then it would be rational to follow suit.”

Mr Green, who has made his name primarily as an expert in competition law and arbitration issues, said the Council was apolitical and could speak out in favour policies “which work and not those which simply play to the gallery."

And this will save money and mean that there is less pressure on the justice system.”

In the paper which looked at how money coul d be saved in the criminal justice system, Mr Green also spoke out in favour of Ken Clarke, the Justice secretary, who has signalled that fewer criminals should be sent to prison.

He said: “If the prison population could be reduced from circa 85,000 to 80,000 it could save over £200million per annum.

“There is a great deal of research from elsewhere to suggest that a less “bang ’em up” approach to sentencing actually reduces crime.

“The tabloids’ response, which is to throw more people into custody, simply does not work.”

The maximum sentence for using a Class A drug – like heroin, cocaine and ecstasy – is seven years in jail. For lesser Class B drugs - like cannabis - and Class C drugs, the maximum penalties are five years and two years in prison.

Keith Vaz MP, chairman of the Commons' Home Affairs Committee, said: “I am shocked by the suggestion that drugs should be decriminalised for personal use.

“The legalisation of drugs would simply create the mistaken impression that these substances are not harmful, when in fact this is far from the truth.”

“The answer to the issue of drug abuse is not to merely decriminalise it. This is not the best solution for the wider public or the police.”

James Clappison MP, a former member of the Commons’ Home Affairs Committee, said the remarks were “not entirely a helpful contribution to the debate”.

He said: “There seems to be a very strong link between recreational drug use, leading to drug addiction leading to crime fuelled by drug addiction. I would have thought the chairman of the Bar Council would have seen that for himself.”

Philip Davies, Conservative MP for Shipley, added: “It is a ludicrous argument to say let’s legalise drugs to take pressure off the police and the courts. That is an argument to legalise everything.”

Debra Bell, a mother whose son developed severe personality changes after smoking cannabis from the age of 14 with his friends, said: “What is talking about? This will send out the wrong message to youngsters.

“There are children as young as 10 getting involved in drug use. Recreational drugs are addictive – that is why there are controlled.”

Ms Bell, who now runs the “Talking About Cannabis” advice website, added: “For some adults it might not be a problem, but that is not the case for children and adolescents. It divides families.

A spokesman the Bar Council said: “We have not called for the decriminalisation of drugs. Plainly we are recommending an evidence-based approach.”

A Home Office spokesman said: “As set out in the coalition agreement, we want to ensure that getting off drugs for good is a clear goal of drug treatment.

“We will also review sentencing policy to help offenders come off drugs, explore alternative forms of secure, treatment-based accommodation for drug offenders, launch a rehabilitation revolution to break cycles of drug misuse and introduce a system of temporary bans on new legal highs.”

David Cameron Could Be Man To De-Criminalise Cannabis

2010-07-14T13:13:00.001+01:00

David Cameron could be the man to de-criminalise cannabis as the most "drug-experienced" PM, a former government adviser has claimed.

Prof David Nutt insisted he was optimistic there would be changes in the British narcotic laws.

He commented: "UK politics itself has in recent years been a major block to rational debate.

"Perhaps this will change now David Cameron is Prime Minister as he is the most obviously drug-experienced person to have held this post, having been caught using cannabis as a schoolboy at Eton (for which he was not expelled)."

Prof Nutt, a former chairman of the Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs, told the academic journal Prometheus: "As an MP, he served on the science and technology committee and took a progressive view on drugs arguing that MDMA [ecstasy] was inappropriately positioned in class A.

"Soon after he became the leader and repeated this view, and within hours was dragged before the party grandees and told that this was not the way to win power, so he publicly retracted this view.

"It will be interesting too see what line the Government takes on drugs in general and school expulsion for possession."

Prof Nutt, who now teaches at Imperial College London, said UK drug laws are "unscientific and unjust". The expert wants more action against alcohol and less tough action against ecstasy.

He even blamed an ecstasy crackdown with heavier prison sentences as a possible cause for more boozing, saying: "It could be argued that the rise of binge drinking in the 90s might have been driven by concerns over potential criminalisation for possession."

Prof Nutt was sacked by former Home Secretary Alan Johnson when he launched a campaign for the de-criminalisation of cannabis.

He added: "It is critical the Government takes the Lib Dem approach with an independent committee to assess drug harms. The statement by science minister David Willetts that he regrets the processes that lead to my sacking is a sign of a better approach."

TH Seeds have released a new strain of cannabis seeds called MK-Ultrawreck and we now have the full description for it:

Sounding like a government terrorist plot, the MK-UltraWreck will you leave as the name implies: ultrawrecked.

Twisted together with the unique mentholated signature flavour of the Arcata-E32 Trainwreck, brings on a more complex overall smell and flavour package and boosts the yield through ease of growth. Producing more uniform and sturdy standing plants than the classic "leaning Trainwrecks" which can be a bit unruly and effect overall yield.
So If you are looking for a new member to join your cannibinoid liberation front look no further than MK Ultrawreck...

It is available as feminised seeds.

Canada's 'Prince of Pot' admits marijuana seed dealing

2010-05-26T15:10:00.001+01:00

A Canadian cannabis advocate has pleaded guilty to selling millions of marijuana seeds in the US in exchange for an agreed five year jail term.

Marc Emery appeared in court in Seattle after being extradited from Vancouver.

Emery, who became known as the Prince of Pot, sold millions of marijuana seeds around the world by post before his 2005 arrest.

His seeds were traced to illegal cannabis-growing operations in the US, US drug enforcement officials said.

Emery's sentencing hearing is scheduled for 11 August, and he or prosecutors can withdraw from the plea deal if the judge issues a different sentence.

A vocal advocate of legalising cannabis Emery was arrested in Canada on a US extradition request, but bailed amid legal efforts to have him serve time in Canada if convicted.

His wife Jodie has called his extradition an "outsourcing of justice".

In a recent interview Emery said he had no regrets about his online dealership that sold seeds to consenting adults, the Associated Press reported.

2010-05-20T14:03:00.001+01:00

Finally, after months and months of waiting, we finally have back in OG Kush and The OG #18 cannabis seeds from Reserva Privada.

You guys are always asking us about them, so we thought we'd let you know that they're back! They're extremely sought-after strains so we expect them to sell out soon, however we are the highest stocked seed bank in the UK to make sure none of you are disappointed!

There is also a brand new strain, also from Reserva Privada. It's called Headband and is a highly acclaimed strain that has not been available in seed form for quite some time. The details are below:

3rd Coffeeshop High Times Cannabis Cup 2009
The Headband has a great yield, and the high is completely medical and not too over-powering. Finding a keeper mother is easy in a pack of 6 and this plant clones easily as well, rooting in 8-10 days. She grows fast in vegetive stage and spreads out wide to produce many tops and an even canopy. Producing heavy resin early and a great aroma, our Headband has bag and head appeal She doesn’t grow as tall as Sour Diesel or as stretchy as the OG Kush and is not so picky with the nutrients. She has a fuely-soury taste and smell with a long lasting high. She is a good all day smoke that won’t knock you down like some of the heavy indicas and is a good strain for anxiety. This original cross is not the 707 or any other clone only “Headband”, this cross was made by reversing the OG Kush to pollinate the Sour Diesel.
Sour Diesel x OG Kush
70% Indica : 30% Sativa
Flowering Time: 9-10 weeks
Yield: 500-600g/m2

And that's not all! We've also added yet more new seed banks recently:

Don't forget to grab the the OG Kush and The OG #18 whilst stocks last!

Tories slam Lib Dems' call for cannabis cafes

2010-04-30T09:27:00.001+01:00

Will cannabis come back to haunt Labour?

2010-04-29T09:13:00.001+01:00

On May 6th 2010 the population of the UK (that has the vote) will go to the polls to decide who will run the government for the next four years, and for a British cannabis community which numbers between 3 and 7 million people depending on which newspaper you read, the future is bleak.

Labour
In the red corner, the current Labour government's stand on cannabis is only too well known.

Regardless of the fact 14 of the United States have now legalised cannabis for medical use, or the fact that over 50 million people world wide now have access to a legal supply of cannabis to some degree, the Labour government stubbornly refuses to open a debate on what the legal status of cannabis should be.

Indeed rather than trying to reduce the strain on an ailing and antiquated judicial system it would appear Gordon Brown would seek to add to its problems, by classifying cannabis a class B drug back in January 2009.

Which brings with it the threat of a 14 year prison term if you're caught dealing.

So did the change of law reduce harm? Or reduce the amounts of people experimenting with cannabis?

Not if the social networks are anything to go by (which they are), as the amount of cannabis advocating Facebook and twitter members is higher than ever (pardon the pun)!

The reality of course, is the politicians know this only too well. Showing the reclassification for what it really is.

A mathematical equation which is meant to work out in favour of the judicial system. How much it costs to police versus how much it earns.

A 'stealth tax' by any other name, which is used to earn tax revenue from a commodity outside of the legal tax system. And who gives a damn how many of our children are convicted of a "drug offence" for being caught carrying cannabis three times in the same area. At least I think thats how it works although its really hard to say for sure.

So a vote for Labour is a vote for a party which has no new ideas on the cannabis issue. Just plenty of old ones.

Conservative
To be honest there's no point even mentioning the Conservatives as their primary spin doctor (Paul Dacre at the Daily Mail), won't have anything positive said about cannabis in his newspaper and lets face it, thats where tory policy is cooked up.

Which is remarkable when you think the mechanisms cannabis uses to destroy tumours have been called remarkable by at least two practicing American doctors.

Or that a British bio-science company called GW Pharmaceuticals, who just happen to be based at a government owned top secret Porton Down facility, is tip-toeing around quietly in the background, attempting to license its cannabis spray treatment for MS (called Sativex), under the protective shroud of prohibition.

How does THAT work? How in this instance, can Home Secretary Alan Johnson maintain cannabis has no medicinal use to us? Its an outrage.

Which brings us squarely to the third of the so-called 'Big Three'.

Liberal Democrats
After the first televised leaders debate, it didn't pass unnoticed that so rattled were Messr's Brown and Cameron, by the calm and reasoned arguments put forwards by Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg, they decided to join forces in trying their best to shoot down the cheeky young upstart, by releasing negative policy stories in their respective newspapers.

'He said this', said Gordon Brown. 'He said that' said David Cameron.

But all that has done is stoke Mr Clegg's flames, and especially so amongst a cannabis community which is more 'connected' and in touch with current affairs than ever before.

A South Wales man who used cannabis to kick a damaging alcohol habit actually wrote to Nick Clegg's constituency office in Sheffield, to ask for the Lib Dem's standpoint. This is what he received in return;

If the Lib Dems are voted into power at the 2010 General Election, they will;

* Re-classify cannabis BACK to a Class C drug.

* Adopt a policy of not prosecuting possession for own use, social supply to adults or cultivation of cannabis plants for own use.

* The Lib Dems will repeal Sections 8 (c) and (d) of the Misuse of Drugs Act so that it is no longer a crime for the occupier or manager of premises to permit someone to use cannabis on those premises.

* And they will also Permit medical use of cannabis derivatives, subject to appropriate pharmaceutical controls and the successful conclusion of current clinical trials.

So with this in mind, please vote, and whilst you're at it, please choose your vote carefully.

Canada: Pot prohibition politely ignored for 420 Day

2010-04-21T07:58:00.001+01:00

It was a bit like Guy Lombardo counting down to the New Year.

Except instead of the stroke of midnight, it was 4:20 p.m. And instead of popping the cork on bottles of champagne, the reggae musician urged the Victoria Park crowd to "Get your bong ready and spark that (stuff) up!"

And then the crowd lit pipes and joints of marijuana.

And frankly, it was a lot calmer than any New Year's Eve party I've ever attended.

It was all part of 420 Day, an annual counter-culture celebration for marijuana enthusiasts around the world.

While more than 1,000 people gathered in Victoria Park for Tuesday's event, larger crowds were expected elsewhere, including a gathering at the Vancouver Art Gallery (at which former Londoner Marc Emery, still awaiting extradition to the U.S. for selling marijuana seeds online, was expected to speak), a 420 film festival in Calgary and a celebration in Niagara Falls at Hwy. 420 and Victoria Ave.

"It's just a very peaceful day," said 19-year-old Kalen Charles-Dunne. "You've got people of every kind . . . brought together by something as simple as a plant."

Earlier in the day, London Police Const. Amy Phillipo had said police would be monitoring the local event.

"People will be held responsible for their actions," she said. "We're not going to be turning a blind eye."

But a blind eye was precisely what was turned. At 4:20 p.m., three police officers strolled through the middle of the park while clouds of pot smoke billowed round them. Later, an officer said there'd been "no problems" and no charges had been laid.

Welcome to Canada's weird world of wacky tobacky, where pot is mainly illegal (except for some medical exemptions) but where many otherwise law-abiding Canadians have decided it's a law they'll politely ignore.

"It's a matter of freedom and civil rights," said a 48-year-old woman who identified herself as Rose Marie. "We don't want to be harassed because we choose weed over booze. As far as I'm concerned, booze causes a lot more problems."

Statistics show that about three million Canadians aged 15 or older - or about 12% of the population -- admitted having used cannabis at least once in 2002 (the year for which most recent figures are available). The Canadian Community Health Survey found 1.1% of Canadians used cannabis daily, 3.9% at least once a week and 6% at least once a month.

And just last week, an Angus Reid poll revealed 53% of Canadians support the legalization of marijuana.

"I don't take Tylenol or Advil, so if I have an ache or pain I'll blaze one," said Kroo Kidd, a 35 year-old environmental science student at UWO. "I can tap into myself better that way."

Why 420?

The origin of the expression is cloudy. It's been said to correspond to the number of active chemical compounds in marijuana, California police code for a pot bust, the birthdate of Bob Marley, the death of Adolf Hitler and even Bob Dylan's song Rainy Day Women No. 12 and 35, which is commonly known for its refrain, "Everybody must get stoned." (And in case you're wondering, 12 times 35 equals 420.) Recent consensus, however, links 420 (which is now observed every year on the 20th day of the fourth month) to the daily time (4:20 p.m.) that a group of high school students in San Rafael, Calif., routinely gathered to smoke pot during the early 1970s.

As the tokers were starting to depart Victoria Park at about 5 p.m., I noticed one young man yelling angrily.

He was upset, it turned out, that others had left their litter behind.

Four-year old finds Cannabis in second-hand Xbox 360 game

2010-04-18T14:25:00.001+01:00

A four-year old boy has become the latest to find a rather unexpected substance in a second hand copy of an Xbox 360 title.

Riley Brown had been particularly excited when his father Andy has purchased him a copy of Fight Night Round 4, reports The Sun newspaper today. However, upon opening the copy he was slightly perplexed as to what the contents of a small 2-inch by 3-inch bag was that had been hidden behind the instruction manual.

Andy, a thirty-year old Estate Agent from Littlehampton, West Sussex, said “He’d only been playing the game ten minutes when he came down with the bag in his hand and asked, ‘Daddy, what’s this?’ I checked and realised. I was horrified and took it off him straight away. But what if he’d thought it was sweets, and started munching away? It doesn’t bear thinking about.”

It is believed that the bag had contained a small amount of both cannabis and tobacco, presumably left in there by its former owner who had traded the copy in at their local Blockbuster store.

However upon complaining to the staff at Littlehampton’s Blockbuster, Andy had been a little annoyed at the response he got. “They didn’t seem too concerned and said they’d credit a free rental to my account,” he remarked. “But this isn’t a matter of a scratched CD or wrong disc, it’s serious. They should check all the boxes before they sell them.”

'Hemperor' Jack Herer Passes Away at 70

2010-04-16T11:14:00.001+01:00

One of the most prominent figures in the legalization community died today, 70 year-old Oregon resident Jack Herer, author of The Emperor Wears No Clothes and lifelong cannabis activist.

California NORML reports and Salem-News.com confirms Herer passed away this morning, after months of serious health complications from a massive heart attack in late 2009.

California NORML's Dale Geiringer said Herer was an idealistic, hard-headed pioneer with a voice louder than any P.A. system.

"Jack's big contribution was to raise awareness of hemp and the importance of hemp in American agriculture and industry before the mid 20th century. I saw an immediate impact when his book came out around 1990. I had just gotten involved in the marijuana movement and it was the height of the war on drugs. People would just avoid you like the plague. Then when Jack had his book come out, hemp suddenly became an environmental issue."

Herer's work in The Emperor Has No Clothes became canon to the new generation of activists. However, his later attempts to change various states' laws through the initiative process met with failure. He tried for years to get hemp initiatives on the different ballots, but they proved too radical for the time.

"He kept staying with his initiative and it always had problems. He was asking for a little bit more than the moon," says Gieringer. "It's ironic because he died the year full-scale legalization — I should say half-scale legalization is on the ballot. My recollection is Jack wasn't particularly enthusiastic about it."

According to Herer, The Emperor Wears No Clothes has sold 600,000 copies. Herer also had a strain of potent cannabis named after, called Jack Herer.

We'll miss you, brother.

The 66-year-old produced the plants in Shinfield on July 2.

He entered a guilty plea to the count at his first hearing in Reading Crown Court and was ordered to carry out the unpaid work as part of a year-long community order.

Sting angers anti-drug activists over marijuana campaign

2010-04-03T14:09:00.001+01:00

British musician Sting has angered anti-drug groups by adding his name to the campaign to legalise marijuana in America.

As politicians in many states, including California, consider legalising pot, celebrities have come out in support of the suggested legislation and Sting wants America to spend the money it uses in the war on the drug, on poverty and environmental issues instead, reported aceshowbiz.com

"The war on drugs has failed but it's worse than that. It is actively harming our society. People who genuinely need help can't get it. Neither can people who need medical marijuana to treat terrible diseases,” he said.

Sting is calling on fans to support activists at the Drug Policy Alliance (DPA) that campaign for those jailed for no violent drug offenses to be released from prison.

But his comments have upset anti-drug activists.

"Sting should stick to singing and not meddle in matters he doesn't understand. We do not need pop stars coming out and making irresponsible statements like that,” said a spokesperson for DARE, which teaches schoolchildren about the dangers of drug use.

California Dreaming of Cannabis Freedom

2010-03-29T10:11:00.001+01:00

California has moved a step closer to making cannabis legal after it was announced a vote is to be held on the issue.

Campaigners submitted almost 700,000 signatures on a petition to make the controversial topic eligible for a ballot in November.

The vote could pave the way for California to become the first US state to decriminalise the drug.

Approval would mean possession of 28.5g of cannabis, which is currently illegal and punishable by a $100 fine, would be legal for anyone over 21-years-old.

It would also be lawful to grow limited amounts of marijuana at home for personal use.

The California Secretary of State said campaigners, who needed 433,971 valid signatures for the ballot to go ahead, submitted a total of 694,248 verified through a random sampling.

Stephen Gutwillig, California director of the Drug Policy Alliance which launched the ballot campaign, said: "This is a watershed moment in the decades-long struggle to end marijuana prohibition in this country.

"Banning marijuana outright has been a disaster, fueling a massive, increasingly brutal underground economy, wasting billions in scarce law enforcement resources and making criminals out of countless law-abiding citizens."

In a recent survey in the state, more that 50% of Californians said they would support the legalisation of cannabis for social use and the taxation of sales proceeds.

US pollsters Gallup also found that 44% of Americans favored legalisation.

Supporters believe the California vote could be the first step in marijuana being legalised throughout the US.

Lobbyist John Lovell said: "This is the first step towards the ban's defeat."

But many Californians are strongly opposed to a change in the law.

Silas Miers, a spokesman for California Mothers Against Drunk Driving, said: "With legalisation of recreational marijuana use, impaired driving, fatalities, injuries and crashes will go up, and we don't want to see that."

GW Pharmaceuticals expects approval for MS drug derived from cannabis

2010-03-19T16:25:00.001Z

GW Pharmaceuticals, which makes drugs derived from cannabis, is due to have its first medicine on the market within months.

The British biotech company announced that regulators in the UK and Spain said that there were no quality, safety or efficacy issues with Sativex, its drug to treat spasticity in multiple sclerosis (MS).

Full approval is expected within three months. Sativex has been much delayed, but the news that it was finally close to approval sent GW’s shares up 15 per cent to 115p.

Sativex is the first prescription medication in the world to be derived directly from the cannabis plant. Marijuana plants grown at secret locations in the English countryside provide its main ingredient. It is an oral spray which works by acting on the same parts of the brain that respond to smoking cannabis. Sativex works by protecting against damage to nerve cells and restoring normal functions to nerve cells that are already damaged.

Its approval will trigger a payment of �10 million to the company by Bayer, the pharmaceutical company which co-owns the drug in the UK, and �2.5 million from the Spanish partner Almirall.

The company is still 22 per cent owned by its founders Geoffrey Guy and Brian Whittle, who also founded Phytopharm.

GW will be able to expand into other European countries quickly under the mutual recognition procedure, in which countries recognise drugs that have been approved elsewhere more quickly. The company hopes that recognition will be confirmed in the first half of next year.

Justin Gover, managing director of GW, said: “This will also allow us to start thinking about expanding into markets beyond Europe.”

Trials of Sativex to treat pain in cancer patients are taking place in the US.

Stefan Hamill, analyst at the stockbroker Execution Noble, said: “This is a watershed moment for GW where the intangible becomes tangible. The immediate benefit will be milestone payments and product royalties from launch, but the greater significance is validation of GW’s cannabinoid focused business model.”

Grandad jailed for growing cannabis

2010-02-24T09:35:00.001Z

A 62-year-old man who set up a cannabis factory in his home to clear gambling debts has been jailed.

Devoted grandad Joseph Tully was imprisoned for nine months yesterday at Bradford Crown Court after pleading guilty to possessing cannabis with intent to supply, being concerned in the production of cannabis and possessing amphetamines with intent to supply.

His wife, Lesley, 55, admitted permitting premises to be used for the production of cannabis.

Prosecutor Duncan Ritchie said police executed a search warrant last May at the defendants’ address in Fletcher Crescent, Rastrick, Brighouse.

More than 40 skunk cannabis plants, which were some weeks from maturity, were discovered growing in a bedroom and four smaller plants in a tent in another bedroom. The cannabis would have been worth in the region of �16,000 on the streets. Amphetamines with a street value of �2,000 were discovered in a freezer at the house.

Mr Tully told police his wife had no involvement and the drugs were his.

Miss Shazma Zaman, for Mr Tully, said he accepted what he did was wrong and had created the situation by accruing a gambling debt. His foolish actions had implicated his wife in the proceedings.

Miss Zaman said her client had numerous illnesses. He was a family man who played a pivotal role in his grandchildren’s lives and it would have a devastating effect on them. Giving Mrs Tully a conditional discharge for two years, the judge, Recorder David Kelly said: “ It wouldn’t have been easy to go to the police, as you should have done.

“That is what you did wrong. You did not consent to it, but you did permit it by not informing the authorities.”

Australia: Cannabis easier to buy than pizza, drug expert Dr Alex Wodak says

2010-02-18T15:51:00.001Z

CANNABIS is easier to buy than a pizza, says a drug expert, so why not legalise and tax it to benefit everyone?

Dr Alex Wodak, the director of the Alcohol and Drug Service at Sydney's St Vincent's Hospital, says cannabis will soon be Australia's smoke of choice.

"In a few years time, we'll have more Australians smoking cannabis than we have smoking tobacco and by default that market is largely taken over by criminals,'' Dr Wodak said.

"Having a black market of that size is not good for anybody and inevitably big black markets can only survive if there's significant police corruption.''

Dr Wodak delivered the keynote address at the Australian Drug Law and a Civil Society symposium at the Lismore campus of Southern Cross University today.

He also heads the Australian Drug Law Reform Foundation.

"At the moment, we have no control over cannabis at all because the trade is run by criminals,'' he said from Lismore.

"By taxing and regulating it, we would start to have some influence over the way people use cannabis.

"Overall, the aim should be to try and reduce the harm.''

Cannabis prohibition was expensive and ineffective, Dr Wodak said, with surveys showing up to 2.5 million Australians will smoke cannabis in 2010.

"It's easier for most Australians to purchase cannabis than to buy a pizza - it's a readily available substance,'' he said.

Dr Wodak said legalising cannabis and regulating it could be carried out similar to what happens in the alcohol and tobacco industries.

"We could have warning labels on packets, we could have age restrictions - we could also have help-seeking information if you're trying to cut down or stop,'' he said.

Dr Wodak said research had shown punishing people for possessing cannabis does not inhibit their desire to keep using the drug.

"We've proved that we've stimulated a huge black market for cannabis in Australia by prohibition,'' he said.

He quoted polls in the United States showing support for legalising cannabis had climbed from 12 per cent in 1969 to 44 per cent in 2009.

"I think the minute that politicians start to see that 51 per cent of the population is supporting the taxation and regulation of cannabis, they'll take 10 seconds to work out that's what they want too,'' Dr Wodak said.

He also expects a legal international trade in cannabis to develop one day, but acknowledged making cannabis a legal drug in Australia and overseas will happen incrementally.

Irish police raid cottage making cannabis poteen and biscuits

2010-02-02T15:59:00.001Z

Irish police have uncovered a 'cottage' industry in Mallow, Co Cork, which was manufacturing cannabis-infused poteen.

The enterprising entrepreneur was also growing cannabis plants and manufacturing a range of cannabis-flavoured biscuits and butter. The biscuits, known as Marrakesh Biscuits, are apparently very popular.

The rural cottage in the townland of Glantane near Mallow was the scene of the raid last week when local gardai called around unexpectedly and made the discovery of a still and 22 cannabis plants in an upstairs loft.

Locals in Mallow, which wags have now dubbed 'Mellow', were bemused by all the fuss. "You have to hand it to the distiller. He was out trying to create a bit of industry in these lean times. The stuff was being sold locally as Creme de Grass -- I didn't drink any of it, but I heard it had quite a strange effect on the auld head if you took a drop," said one local.

Detective Sergeant Paul Reidy led the raid, which also uncovered regular dry leaf marijuana of the smoking variety. All the items seized have been sent to Garda Headquarters for analysis, explained Sgt Reidy.

The search was carried out at a house in Glantane at 7.30am on January 23. Twenty-two cannabis plants and drugs cultivation paraphernalia were found, as well as other items such as cannabis alcohol and biscuits. It was a heady mix -- A cannabis plant is worth about �400.

A local man in his mid-40s was arrested at the scene and detained in Mallow garda station. He was subsequently released and a file was sent to the Director of Public Prosecution's office, a garda spokesperson said.
