Children at Risk
State Representative Kelly Cassidy (D-Chicago) has introduced HB 4357 in the Illinois House and State Senator Heather Steans has introduced SB 2228 in the Illinois Senate. Both bills would decriminalize marijuana, giving tacit consent to using and dealing, especially to children.

The Potheads in Our Dopey Media
Reporter Charlo Greene of the CBS television affiliate in Alaska used an obscenity on the air, announcing she was quitting her job, and revealed that she had been president of the Alaska Cannabis Club even while reporting on it for station KTVA. She then walked off the set.

NYT columnist says she was ‘curled up in a hallucinatory state’ for eight hours

One of the most remarkable findings was that from 2000 to 2010 the number of chronic marijuana users (those who smoke pot four or more days each week) has jumped by 84.3 percent with 13 million chronic users in America today.
Expenditures for marijuana (which many unscrupulous politicians eye as a means for …
