Drugged driving is a growing problem, police fear.

As pot dispensaries become more prevalent in Ottawa, there is growing concern about people driving while high.

In May, Canada’s leading drive-safe group held a series of meetings with new members of Parliament to discuss what it calls the need to implement better roadside testing technology, before legislation to legalize marijuana is passed.

Mothers Against Drunk Driving appealed to the government to do away with current drug-recognition evaluations, and implement “drug wipe” roadside saliva tests, similar to the Breathalyzer tests that detect alcohol, to tell on the spot whether a person is impaired by drugs.

James Graham Wilson’s brilliant history of how Reagan and Gorbachev engaged to end the Cold War, The Triumph of Improvisation, begins with this story. 

Late at night Reagan and his campaign manager Lee Atwater were descending into Chicago’s O’Hare Airport near the end of his ultimately triumphant 1980 Presidential campaign. The following exchange took place. (It is worth remembering that Reagan was 69 at the time).

Atwater: “Ron — why exactly are you doing this?”

Reagan: “I want to bring an end to the Cold War.”

Atwater: “How are you going to to that?”

Reagan: “I don’t know, but there has got to be a way.”

The future Hall of Famer admits to smoking marijuana during his playing career.

During Randy Moss' NFL career, in which he caught 982 passes for 15,292 yards and 156 touchdowns, he openly admitted to smoking marijuana. So, it should come as no surprise to hear Moss, who hasn't played since the 2012 season, rail against the league's marijuana policy.

When speaking with Monday Morning Quarterback's Kalyn Kahler, Moss was asked if the NFL should remove marijuana from its list of banned substances. He replied, "I think the NFL just needs to loosen up the rules and let everybody live."

The “discussion” paper about legalizing marijuana is out from the Liberal government.

When I first heard of the “legalization” task force, I envisioned Order-of-Canada quality people touring the country, listening to Canadians, acknowledging the terrible prohibition mistakes of the past, and pledging to find a new way forward past prohibition into the era—it's 2016, after all!—of autonomous adult choice in the matter of cannabis and our bodies.

I saw legalization as this: the government stops a failed policy of marijuana prohibition because it has needlessly given over two million Canadians criminal records since 1964.

It's legal to possess, grow and buy marijuana in Oregon, but state clean air laws and local rules have put a damper on public festivals featuring giveaways and consumption.

The Oregon Cannabis Association has found a way to host a summer fair where members of the public -- as long as they're 21 and older -- can take home free samples. 

The Summer Fair, featuring dozens of Oregon producers and processors, will be held July 24 at the North Warehouse in Portland. 

You may have heard of Leafs by Snoop, but the other celebrities cashing in on the legal marijuana market might surprise you…

The U.S. florist industry employs around 90,000 people around the nation per year. But now, some celebrities are trying to get in on the action in a very unconventional way.

With California voters poised to pass a referendum legalizing recreational marijuana use in November, the farmers supplying 758,607 residents holding medical marijuana prescriptions will now be subject to the state’s stringent agricultural water use laws.

No one knows just how big the unregulated marijuana cultivation industry is in California, but it is notorious for drying up Northern California streams, starving endangered fish, contributing to erosion, and spoiling water quality with massive amounts of pesticides and herbicides.

Synthetic marijuana goes by different names: K2, Spice, AK-47, Geeked up, Smacked, Red Giant, Trippy. These names, which mimic the availability of different strands of marijuana, distract from the foremost fact that synthetic marijuana isn’t like marijuana at all. These pseudo cannabinoids are plant material that are sprayed with chemicals and the effects are unpredictable. They are also addictive and can be up to 100 times more potent than tetrahydrocannabinol, the active ingredient in cannabis.

A poll conducted by innovative drugs pressure group VolteFace finds overwhelming cross-party support for the legalisation of medical marijuana.

A poll conducted by innovative drugs pressure group VolteFace finds overwhelming cross-party support for the legalisation of medical marijuana in the UK House of Commons.

After years of refusal to engage with the debate around medical marijuana, the sands seem to be shifting in the minds of UK policymakers.

A new poll of UK MPs had revealed that well over half of MPs support legalisation of cannabis for medical use, with 58% of MPs polled coming out in support.

Netflix has given a series order to “Disjointed,” a comedy from Chuck Lorre.

The multi-camera comedy stars Kathy Bates as a lifelong marijuana-legalization advocate who realizes her dream of running a pot dispensary in Los Angeles. Working alongside Bates’s character are her son, three “budtenders” and a security guard. All are high most of the time.
