(NORML) This upcoming November, voters in Washington and Colorado will go to the polls to decide whether marijuana should be totally legal in their respective States.  But will it matter?  After all, cannabis consumers and retailers in the 17 states that have legalized medical marijuana are still subject toharassment and arrest from the federal government.  The threat of federal action has halted the implementation of recently passed medical marijuana programs in Delaware and Rhode Island, and has slowed the progress of other States’ efforts to ensure that sick patients have access to the medicine they need.  In the first three years of the Obama administration, the federal government has participated in over 100 raids on medical marijuana dispensaries within states where medical marijuana is legal, even after promising shortly after assuming office that he would end federal raids on medical marijuana dispensaries that complied with state laws.   If voters in Washington and Colorado decide to take the leap and legalize marijuana, we have no reason to expect, based on prior actions, that the federal government will let these voters express and enforce their popular will unimpeded.

(HIGHTIMES) Last week the Tacoma City Council did a double disservice to the town’s medical marijuana industry. Not only did they table a proposal intended to establish proper zoning and land-use regulations for medical cannabis dispensaries, they also turned the plan around and will now attempt to utilize the public nuisance code to target unwanted dispensaries and force them out of business. 

City officials justified abandoning the creation of dispensary regulations by claiming if they formally sanctioned a medical marijuana program, it could potentially make local government employees subject to federal prosecution for violating the Controlled Substances Act, which outlaws all uses of marijuana. 

The proposed collective pot gardens were also abandoned after the City Council was scared off trying to develop some kind of workable system for the approximately 40 Tacoma-based dispensaries to safely and legally provide medicine to qualified patients.

The Council will meet Tuesday, July 24 to discuss the suggested modifications to the nuisance code, which will be used to “weed out” otherwise legitimate medical pot dispensaries in those neighborhoods where local residents have complained about their presence. Dispensaries in more industrial areas appear to be safe from the code crackdown.

Juicing cannabis is the new frontier in the health food and cannabis scene that has been slowly emerging out of the shadows. There are incredible health benefits that have been discovered and are continuing to be discovered as more people take interest in this method. Juicing cannabis may very well be the next “Wheat grass craze” as the medical marijuana industry paves the way in alternative healthcare. 

There are many methods that can be employed to create nutrient dense drinks in the privacy of your own home. There are 3 top methods for juicing which is using the buds, sugar leaves or fan leaves. Most people only want to smoke or decarboxylate the buds for the obvious psychoactive and medicinal properties, which makes it less desirable for juicing. While yes you can juice buds, the reality is that you are wasting high concentrations of THC when you only want CBD’s. Not to mention all the little trichomes that engulf the buds are highly irritating to stomach linings and in excessive amounts may cause some tummy troubles. So what does that leave? Sugar leaves and fan leaves. Sugar leaves are best reserved for making the various forms of hash, concentrates, topicals, balms and salves. Yes, you can bake and cook with sugar leaves but in my opinion that should be saved for a last resort for multiple reasons, which is discussed in my upcoming book. And the small amounts of trichomes again can cause sensitivities in stomachs. Fan leaves is where it is at. Full of CBD’s the leaves will relieve inflammation, nausea, anxiety, debilitating illnesses and act as an effective treatment against cancer. Not to mention the high mineral, vitamin, and antioxidant properties without getting “high”.
