In a case that has implications for Colorado and other medical marijuana states, Montana legislator Diane Sands has come under investigation by the federal Drug Enforcement Administration, but she doesn’t know why. She suspects the investigation is related to her advocacy of liberalized marijuana laws.
She told the Colorado Independent that she has no involvement in medical marijuana beyond her work in the legislature. Read more.....

So by now you should have heard, the Susan G. Komen Foundation made headline news last week for their decision to “change their granting policies”, essentially cutting funding to Planned Parenthood. Pretty quickly they learned that you don’t pick on underserved women in this country. I’m very proud that so many of us banded together in support of Planned Parenthood and strong-armed SGK into changing their new policy before the ink even dried. While this is great news for the women PP serves, we at PuffHo Read more.....

A 69-year-old former drug smuggler has launched The Silver Tour to recruit fellow seniors at South Florida retirement communities as advocates for legal medicinal marijuana use.
Next tour stop: Temple Shaarei Shalom west of Boynton Beach, where an estimated 300 seniors are expected Sunday.
Robert Platshorn, tour organizer and a director of the state chapter of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws, believes winning over voting seniors is the answer to legalizing medicinal pot in Florida.
He doesn’t have to “preach to the choir” and get youths on board, he Read more.....

Whose buds these are I think I know
His house always has a grow;
He will not see me stopping here
To have a toke before I go.
My two stoned friends must think it queer
To stop without the munchies near
Between weed and cookies cannabaked,
The dankest evening of the year!
They roll their sad joints with shake,
But I shan’t make that mistake!
The only other sound’s the pffffft
The sound of the spliff to give and take.

A man who grew more than £1 million worth of cannabis in a piggery at a Rickinghall farm has been
jailed for five years.
Officers who raided Alwood Green Farm in March last year found 1,124 cannabis plants, 747 cannabis
root balls and 224 cannabis seedlings together with cultivation equipment.
The building had been divided to create a packing area and five areas for growing the drug, prosecutor
Lynne Shirley told Ipswich Crown Court last Thursday.

Two suspects attempting to elude Oregon State Police on Interstate 5 near Eugene Monday night tried to ditch some drugs by throwing them at the patrol car during the 110-mph chase.
A trooper stopped the men about 9 p.m. for speeding near milepost 183, state police said. The trooper was talking to the driver, identified as Joshua Lutz, 33, of Pacific, Wash., outside the car when Lutz got back in the vehicle and sped northbound.
During a chase that reached speeds of 110 mph, Lutz and passenger Nathan Garza, 32, of Auburn, Wash., threw bags of marijuana out the window, state police said. The car left the freeway about five miles down the road and stopped. Lutz fled, but the Read more.....

February 2010, the Columbia Police Department in Columbia, Missouri, raided a Columbia residence on the basis of a confidential informant’s testimony and marijuana residue found through a trash pull. The confidential informant was never identified, and the SWAT raid occurred without any pre-raid intelligence or surveillance, 8 days after the search warrant had been signed. A video was made of the raid for training purposes, and released to the public in May 2010, sparking an international response as the video immediately went viral. The video shows Columbia SWAT entering the residence at night and immediately shooting the family pets, then manhandling the family inside as they cleared the house. Only a minuscule amount of marijuana was found, and the target of the raid, Jon Whitworth, was charged with felony child Read more.....
Eighty percent of the books in the People’s Library have perished, according to Occupy Wall Street librarians. “I want our books back,” Frances said at a press conference on Nov. 22. “I want our space back. I want our movement back.”
On the morning of Nov. 15, NYPD and DSNY swooped into Zuccotti Park and shut down the hub of the OWS protest movement. All belongings not taken quickly were hauled off by sanitation workers. That included the 5,000-book People’s Library.

All researchers agree that water contains a known explosive, hydrogen, a Read more.....
So apparently there is some high level bullshit running rampant through the US Department of Justice, and no one over there has a straight fucking answer for the medical cannabis community…even when asked by a member of congress. The constant inability for the leaders at the USDOJ, and Attorney General Eric Holder particularly, to express a clear and definitive stand on medical cannabis is alarming and dangerous. Yesterday, Attorney general Holder was asked by Colorado Representative Jared Polis to further clarify the position of the USDOJ where medical cannabis was concerned, and instead of taking his time under oath in front of congress to answer the million dollar question, Read more.....
