Have you noticed it? The media has picked it up and is running with it. More truths are being brought forward and propaganda exposed. For example, a recent issue of the Economist devoted to the ineffectiveness and costs of the war on drugs, prime time television episodes exploring the topic of medical marijuana and legalization.
Did Obama’s open forum inform the media AND politicians that this is a topic that needs discussion. That the citizens want to review the truth about these issues? I think so. I believe that it was the tipping point.
While pro cannabis movements take steps backward around the world, such as the re-criminalization in the UK, other countries push boundaries. In the United States a California representative has presented a bill to tax the sale of Marijuana for adults ages 21 and over. It just makes sense that a bankrupt state capitalize and benefit from it’s largest industry. A Federal bill has been proposed to allow possession of several grams of Marijuana.
Times are a-changing. Are you helping to steer these changes? Get involved, and stay informed. Contact Americans for Safe Access and Norml to learn how.

i-inhale Vaporizor
The iinhale is a butane powered, portable pocket vaporizer. It was throughly road tested for an entire week, you can here the report recorded live during the testing here.
I’ve been listening to the chap that hosts that show for more than a year now. After hearing his review I purchased one and can say that it is all that it seems to be.
Easy to operate. Very efficient. Quite a stealth machine. Perhaps the best part is the convenience. I leave it loaded. And in the middle of the night, when I need it most my medicine is handy and can be administered without getting up to fuss with lighters, grinders, cords, plugs, pipes, bowls. And not much of a wait to hit it either.
It reaches functional temperatures in under a minute. Holding 120 minutes worth of butane this device fits in the palm of your hand. Similar in size to a cell phone. There is little to no aroma created as you’re not burning anything. And the cost is comparable to other vaporizers that require additional parts, electricity and more.
I own a lovely portable vaporizor that is powered by a bic lighter. It takes a bit of practice to get the temps right and the lighters do get very hot. I’ve burned myself several times. Also it requires little or no wind when using outdoors. And at our cardholders meetings sharing it is a better idea than practice as it takes a bit of practice to use properly without burning the cannabis and soiling the device with the black tar.
This iinhale device is wonderfully easy to use and share with other cardholders. You simply turn it one, press the piazo (sp?) switch, let it heat up for about 45 seconds and draw delicious flavor through the tube.
The herb chamber holds quite a bit of herb. It is so efficient that I’m hardly putting a dent in my supply.
I highly recommend this vaporizer. Mark my words, it is the next generation of cannabis consumption. These will become as popular as bic lighters.

An alternative way to deliver the medicine is through digestion. It is important to note that heat is required to transform the cannabinoids into a usefull form.
With the butter resulting from this recipe one can bake cookies etc.
Be aware that ingesting products containing cannabis can affect you differently and often times more dramatically than by smoking or vaporizing methods. Experiment carefully to find the right dosage for you.
