Serious Medicine
Troy Morris thinks it's high time that medical marijuana was taken seriously, and he thinks he can help.
Even though 14 states, including Oregon, have passed laws recognizing the therapeutic use of marijuana, Kanabous Sativa suffers from a split personality. Supporters tout its ability to ease chronic pain, suppress nausea, calm muscle spasms and boost appetite. On the other hand, it's also an illicit substance that's illegal under federal law and remains weighed down by counterculture connotations from the era of long hair, short skirts and free love.

From plants to Humans...
Radical Russ Belville writes:
In their latest editorial, entitled “Another Dance Around Marijuana“, the editorial board addressed I-28, the initiative that would create a regulated dispensary system in Oregon. The gist of their argument is a dare to dispensary proponents to just be honest and come out in favor of legalization, instead of dancing around the “charade” of “medical marijuana”. It’s worth reading the whole thing (and leaving a comment!) so that you’ll understand the tone I used in my comment below.
