Wow, dude, you're going to college in Oregon? Pot is legal there! You can smoke a joint before Econ class, right?

Uh, wrong.

Wrong on so many levels: collegiate, federal and possibly state, for starters.

Legal sales of recreational marijuana to adults began Thursday in Oregon. But administrators of Oregon colleges and universities, both public and private, say nothing has changed or will change on their campuses because of the state's new pot law.

The One Love Club parking lot filled quickly after its doors opened Friday night. The new west-side pot social club is clear, on signs around the joint, that it does not sell marijuana.

It's a reimbursement system.

If that doesn't make sense to you, you're not alone. The Colorado Springs City Council imposed a six-month moratorium Sept. 22 on opening new cannabis clubs, which have long been unregulated in Colorado Springs. In many cases, people are given "free" pot in exchange for membership fees.

TAMPA - It’s banned, but it’s still being sold in local stores.

And all evidence points to the fact that synthetic marijuana is far more dangerous than many first thought.

“It's scary. It will destroy your brain,” said a local homeless woman we saw loitering in a park in downtown St. Petersburg.

She didn’t want to give her name, but told us she recently witnessed a man high on synthetic marijuana beat a brick wall with a baseball bat until his hands were splintered and bleeding.

The man told her he was fighting Satan.  

“It brought the Satan out in me,” said former user William Jump, who said he often got in fights when he was high on the drug.

He was recently arrested for possession of the drug and vows never to use it again.

The Headquarters Harvest Dinner draws a cultivated crowd with its twist on a farm-to-table dinner: cannabis pairings that complement a special menu created by Colorado "Top Chef" champion Hosea Rosenberg

An idyllic homestead dinner, which began as “the longtime dream” of Ashley Rheingold, managing member of Headquarters Cannabis Co., became a romantic sunset reality when she hosted the recent Headquarters Harvest Dinner, a four-course, farm-to-table dinner with cannabis pairings at Shupe Homestead in Longmont, northwest of Denver.  Each food course was paired with both a cannabis strain and wine or cocktail to create a heightened epicurean experience outside on a beautiful warm rural evening.

SPOKANE, Wash. — The three remaining defendants in the case of the so-called Kettle Falls Five were sentenced to federal prison on Friday for growing marijuana in a state where both the medical and recreational use of marijuana are legal under Washington laws.

The defendants are known as the Kettle Falls Five because of their original number. They were convicted earlier this year of growing marijuana on their rural property near Kettle Falls, in violation of federal law.

Possibly one of the most dramatic changes coming from a Liberal government, if elected on Oct. 19, would be the legalization of marijuana in Canada.

Earlier this week on the campaign trail, Trudeau said his party is “committed to legalizing and regulating marijuana,” which would “remove the criminal element” linked to the drug and make it more difficult for youth to access.

To see what that could mean for consumers and tax collectors alike, voters can look no further than Colorado. In early 2014, it became the first U.S. state to legalize marijuana.

The state budget office estimates legalized marijuana sales in Ohio could produced nearly $300 million in new tax revenue, most of which would go to townships, cities and counties.

The estimate by the Office of Budget and Management was based on potential marijuana sales of about $2 billion a year. New revenue would come primarily from a special excise tax on marijuana sales.

George Hutchings is living proof that cannabis does not cause harm to humans and society!

It was a week ago today I presented George Hutchings story – read here if you missed it. If you remember from watching the video how cannabis helps him live his daily life, which otherwise would be impossible due to the rare illness he has, we realise how cannabis is really not harmful to humans and society.
