Marijuana U.S.A.!!

Yeah. Like Anthony wiener is a bad person for dick texting, but porno 's the number one internet money maker for shady Jewish pornographers.
 
It's not the pornographic nature of the content that's primarily the issue. The problem is that it was unwelcomed sexual advances that he was making. I'm guessing he has the same problem as Douchebag Donald, so the pictures also failed to impress.

It's quite-possible.....the folks, here, in PA, are realizing we (actually) HAVE entered the 21st Century....and, that it's NOT, in fact, some government-conspiracy.​


September 7, 2016 - "Representative Ed Gainey has introduced legislation, House Bill 2076, to amend the state's controlled substances act so that minor marijuana possession offenses are considered a non-criminal offense.

"Despite both local and nationwide progress on the issue of cannabis prohibition, Pennsylvania continues to charge over 18,000 individuals each year with minor possessory offenses. Minorities are disproportionately affect by as much as a 5 - 1 ratio despite similar usage rates as their white counterparts. A misdemeanor conviction can have lifelong implications including loss of employment, loss of public housing and loss of educational loan eligibility. We cannot afford either the short term or the long term effects of saddling Pennsylvanians with misdemeanor charges and convictions for minor cannabis possession."

House Bill 2076 would impose a fine and a summary conviction for an individual possessing 30 grams or less of marijuana or eight 8 grams or less of hashish. Offenders would no longer face criminal arrest, incarceration, or a criminal record.

Current state law considers possession of 30 grams or less of marijuana a misdemeanor criminal penalty punished by 30 days incarceration and up to a $500 fine."

NHS Socialized Medicine In Britain: Unmitigated Failure

7/17/2013
Health Care: A new report on Britain's National Health Service notes that as many as 13,000 needless deaths have occurred in 14 NHS hospital trusts since 2005. This is no fluke. It's the result of socialized medicine, done by experts.


Britain's much vaunted public medical system, accountable for 82% of all health care spending, according to the OECD, is in shambles.


A warning shot was fired a few months ago when one hospital, Mid-Staffordshire, was found to be a veritable death trap of neglect, misspent funds and starved investment. Now a new report on 14 NHS trusts, released by government-appointed Prof. Sir Bruce Keogh this week, finds that neglect and "needless" deaths are pretty much a characteristic of the entire system.


"We hear of A&E departments 'in meltdown', GP services 'on the verge of failure,' the Welsh HNHS being 'on its knees,'" wrote Simon Jenkins in the left-leaning Guardian. "The 111 non-emergency telephone service is reportedly useless. On one evening, Cornwall was said to have just one agency GP to cover the entire county. Last week's Cavendish report on frontline nursing told of wards left in the hands of untrained assistants for hours, indeed whole weekends," Jenkins wrote.

Then there was the "Liverpool Care Pathway" — an Orwellian death panel operation, where nurses shouted to visitors to not give their dying relatives sips of water for fear it would interfere with the hospital's death target. "No one was doing anything 'wrong' since everything was done by the book," wrote Jenkins.


Keogh found that as many as 13,000 "needless" deaths were the result, about 3 per day in each hospital district.


The U.K. has seen reform after reform of its health care system, but none has made much difference.


The problem is it's a socialized system. Unlike a private one — and in the OECD, only the U.S., Mexico and Chile have them — state priorities trump those of the consumer. That's why the NHS is celebrated as a patriotic duty — as it was during the absurd propaganda spectacle celebrating NHS at the 2012 London Olympics.


Big problems fester because the state can cover them up. Anyone criticizing the NHS is shouted down because bureaucracies resist change, Telegraph writer Daniel Hannan wrote.


So much for socialized medicine being a more "humane" form of health care. The Labour Party, which has touted and enshrined this socialism for decades, is now in crisis over the Keogh findings. Far from extending life, as private health care systems do, socialized health care is a reliable vehicle only for needless death. http://www.investors.com/politics/ed...gated-failure/

September 8, 2016 - "Cannabis use is associated with lower body mass index, over time, according to data published in The Journal of Mental Health Policy and Economics.

Investigators at the University of Miami assessed the relationship between marijuana use and BMI in a nationally representative longitudinal sample (The National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health).

Researchers concluded, "Daily female marijuana users have a BMI that is approximately 3.1 percent lower than that of non-users, whereas daily male users have a BMI that is approximately 2.7 percent lower than that of non-users."

The findings are similar to those reported in prior case-control studies finding that those subjects with a history of marijuana use are less likely to be obese and to suffer from type 2 diabetes as compared to abstainers."

August 31, 2016 - "Canndescent, a commercial marijuana grower in southern California, announced Wednesday it has closed a $6.5 million funding round to bolster its cultivation facility in Desert Hot Springs.

The raise was completed from more than 30 investors, according to a press release, and will go towards “working capital, marketing, and additional property, plant and equipment.” The facility will start cultivation operations on Sept. 29.

The Desert Hot Springs facility is the first in southern California to operate with a locally-issued business permit specifically for growing cannabis, the release claims, though the town has become a hotbed of marijuana business activity.

The municipality, located about two hours east of Los Angeles, has sprouted into a welcoming area for would-be cannabis businesses hoping to make a splash in the enormous California marijuana market.

It’s drawn plenty of cannabis entrepreneurs, many of whom are planning huge greenhouses with which to supply the medical marijuana industry – and possibly the recreational marijuana industry – across the state."

September 2, 2016 - "A campaign to allow businesses such as bars to permit public cannabis use on their property has officially made the November ballot in Colorado’s capital city.

The initiative, dubbed the Neighborhood-Supported Cannabis Consumption Pilot Program, has the support so far of at least 50 businesses in the city, the Denver Post reported.

If approved by voters, it would allow businesses to establish marijuana consumption areas on their premises, as long as the companies meet certain criteria, such as obtaining support from a “neighborhood group.”

Consumption areas could be either indoor or outdoor, and consumers would have to bring their own marijuana. But allowing for public use in private businesses would solve an obvious problem for the city: Currently, tourists who purchase cannabis don’t really have any legal places where they can consume whatever products they purchase."

September 13, 2016 - "One of the most well-known travel writers in the world, Arthur Frommer, predicted recently that cannabis tourism is going to become big bu$ine$$ after the November election, when up to five more states could legalize recreational use.

If accurate, marijuana tourism would present additional opportunities for entrepreneurs looking to capitalize on the legalization of marijuana.

“The prospects seem strong that marijuana is now about to be added to beer and wine as a permissible product to order,” Frommer wrote in a column last week, the Denver Post reported. “This seems about to happen. Get ready for the era of marijuana — and marijuana tourism.”

“We are on the brink of a major new travel movement,” predicted Frommer, a publisher of books for budget-conscious travelers.

In Colorado alone, “canna-tourism” accounted for roughly $100 million in sales in 2015, according to estimates by Marijuana Business Daily."

September 13, 2016 - "A mainstream investment bank predicts in a new report the U.S. cannabis industry may balloon to $50 billion over the next decade, more than eight times its current size and reflecting federal legalization of marijuana and a shrinkage of the black market.

The report from Cowen & Co. is notable for its prediction as well as the fact that it comes from a New York investment bank founded nearly a century ago, in 1918.

The public forecast from a mainstream firm gives the cannabis industry an added boost in legitimacy and credibility. Up to 10 states could be voting on legalizing medical or recreational marijuana this fall.

According to Bloomberg News, Cowen’s forecast assumes the federal government will legalize marijuana. “Cannabis prohibition has been in place for 80-plus years, but the tides are clearly turning,” the firm’s analysts said in their report. They put the size of the current legal MJ market at $6 billion."

ACTION ITEM: U.S.A.!!!​

September 14, 2016 - "For the past two years, Congress has passed annual spending bills which included a provision protecting those who engage in the state-sanctioned use and dispensing of medical cannabis from undue prosecution by the Department of Justice. However, members of Congress have yet to taken action to reauthorize this provision and therefore the law is set to expire at the end of the month.

The amendment, known as the Rohrabacher-Farr Amendment, maintains that federal funds can not be used to prevent states from “implementing their own state laws that authorize the use, distribution, possession or cultivation of medical marijuana.

Please enter your zip code below to contact your federally elected officials and urge them to move quickly to reauthorize the Rohrabacher-Farr Amendment and to keep these important patient protections in place.”

September 15, 2016 - "A Monsanto research facility in Connecticut that’s slated to close later this year may be converted into a medical marijuana grow site.

A pair of MMJ companies have already made inquiries about possibly acquiring the facility, local official Rob Simmons from the town of Stonington told news outlet the Day.

Simmons said he advised both companies to contact the state and Monsanto to ask about zoning and permits and whether the company would be interested in selling the facility, which is located in the town of Mystic.

Monsanto is the world’s largest seed company. And Simmons said the site would be “ideal” for growing MMJ, given that it’s already outfitted with security systems and agricultural setups for cultivating genetically modified corn seeds.

The facility is 79,000 square feet, including a 28,000 greenhouse. Though no specific closure date has been announced, Monsanto said it will be done in two phases beginning in late October.

No other plans aside from growing medical cannabis have been revealed, but Monsanto has indicated in the past that it would be selling the facility, the Day reported.

On Wednesday, German pharmaceutical and chemicals giant Bayer said it hammered out an agreement to acquire Monsanto in a deal valued at $66 billion."

September 18, 2016 - "Before he suited up to play against the New York Giants in 2012, Jacksonville Jaguars offensive lineman Eben Britton took an ice bath followed by a hot shower. He did his routine stretches. Then he smoked a joint.

In fact, Britton — who also played for the Chicago Bears but left the league in 2014 — tells The Post he played three NFL games while high on marijuana.

“NFL games I played stoned were some of the best games I ever played. Cannabis cements your surroundings,” he says. “A lot of people say they’re useless when they smoke weed. But hell, I played NFL games [while stoned], dude. My performances were solid and I felt really good after.”

Which was the point, since the Brooklyn-born Britton was smoking to relieve, at various times, “psychological distress or sciatica or pain in my shoulders.”

And he was far from alone.

But players admit that the line between smoking for fun and smoking for therapy is blurred.

“Right after practice, me and one to three other [players] would go to somebody’s house [to get high],” Britton recalls. “Smoking helped me to socialize with teammates. We let our guards down . . . But a lot of the time [stoned talk] wasn’t even about football. Cannabis took us out of football. We were hanging out and just being people. It brought us closer together as teammates.”

September 15, 2016 - "The majority of Californians support the passage of a proposed ballot initiative to regulate the use, production, and retail sale of cannabis to adults, according to several recent statewide polls.

Seventy-one percent of Californians say that they are leaning toward voting 'yes' on Proposition 64: the Adult Use of Marijuana Act, according to polling data compiled by the CALSPEAKS Opinion Research Center at Sacramento State. Public support in the poll was highest among those between the ages of 18 and 34 (84 percent), Latinos (81 percent), and Democrats (80 percent).

Separate polling data released this week by the University of Southern California and the Los Angeles Times reports that 58 percent of registered voters support the initiative. Thirty-four percent of respondents oppose the measure.

Support in the poll was highest among Democrats (68 percent), voters between the ages of 18 and 24 (67 percent), and males (62 percent).

A third, recently released poll conducted by Survey USA finds voter favoring the initiative by a margin of 52 percent to 40 percent.

A fourth poll, released in August by the Institute of Government Studies at the University of California, Berkeley found that 64 percent of voters believe, "Marijuana should be legal for adults to purchase and use recreationally, with government regulations similar to the regulation of alcohol."

September 19, 2016 - "A top editor at the Credit Union Times says more credit unions should begin taking on marijuana businesses as customers.

“With a major state like California coming close to legalizing recreational pot – something that may tip the scales on legalization efforts in other states and pressure the federal government to give existing pot businesses easier access to financial services – it’s time for more credit unions to embrace the idea of serving the marijuana industry,” Natasha Chilingerian wrote in a piece published Sept. 16 on her trade publication’s website.

Chilingerian added that accepting marijuana businesses as customers is consistent with the “philosophy” of credit unions, including improving community safety by taking money off the street, and helping small businesses.

In an email, Chilingerian said the article represents her own views, versus Credit Union Times as a whole."

September 22, 2016 - "The moderate use of cannabis during pregnancy is not an independent risk factor for adverse neonatal outcomes such as low birth weight, according to a literature review published online ahead of print in the journal Obstetrics & Gynecology.

They concluded: "[T]he results of this systematic review and meta-analysis suggest that the increased risk for adverse neonatal outcomes reported in women using marijuana in pregnancy is likely the result of coexisting use of tobacco and other cofounding factors and not attributable to marijuana use itself. Although these data do not imply that marijuana use during pregnancy should be encouraged or condoned, the lack of a significant association with adverse neonatal outcomes suggests that attention should be focused on aiding pregnant women with cessation of substances known to have adverse effects on the pregnancy such as tobacco."

September 26, 2016 - "Alaska, the newest adult-use cannabis market in the United States, could begin serving customers before the start of November.

That’s according to Cynthia Franklin, the director of Alaska’s Alcohol and Marijuana Control Office, who said in an email to Marijuana Business Daily that the Marijuana Control Board is doing “an excellent job of moving toward full industry operations and investment.”

“I cannot tell you the exact date the first retail marijuana store in Alaska will open, but I can assure you it will be long before February and perhaps before Nov. 1,” Franklin wrote."

"Hey!! WE'RE LOOKIN' TO GIVE-UP THE "SAUCE", ANYHOW!!!"​


September 26, 2016 - "The first legal commercial marijuana harvests have commenced in Alaska, meaning the state is one step closer to kicking off the latest adult-use cannabis market in this country.

At least seven of the 12 licensed cultivators in the state have begun harvesting their grows for soon-to-open rec shops, according to the Alaska Dispatch News. Some began harvesting up to a month ago, the paper reported.

Cultivators that look like they’ll be first to market include Greatland Ganja, Rosie Creek Farm, Subsistence Products, Pakalolo Supply Co., Tanana Herb Company, Green Rush Gardens, and Elevated Innovations.

So far, 17 retailers have been licensed by the state, with scores more waiting to be approved for business permits."
