The best documentary of the bunch. It focuses on how cannabis helps people, instead of the negative / profit aspects.
Parts are sad ... must watch for anyone ...

Ending federal medical marijuana raids "is now American policy"
Speaking at a press conference on Feb. 25 with DEA Administrator Michele Leonhart, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder told reporters that ending federal medical marijuana raids "is now American policy." The Attorney General’s comments are the latest sign of a sea change in federal policy prompted by a groundswell of grassroots pressure by Americans for Safe Access (ASA) and our allies. They came as a response to Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) raids carried out by Bush Administration holdovers in California in January and February.
ASA needs your support to keep grassroots pressure on the Attorney General. Please support ASA today.
President Obama indicated he would end the DEA raids during his presidential campaign, a position reiterated by the White House following DEA raids in raids which took placeon February 4. In response to a question last night about DEA raids at medical marijuana facilities in California, Holder said, "What the President said during the campaign...is consistent with what we will be doing here in law enforcement. He was my boss in the campaign....He is my boss now. What he said in the campaign is now American policy."
Medical marijuana patients and advocates, who have mounted a massive grassroots campaign to influence the new Administration’s policy, cheered the Attorney General’s comments. 72 million Americans live in states where medical cannabis is legal, but federal law prohibits its use under any circumstances. More than 100 Americans are currently facing prosecution, sentencing, or serving time in prison for medical cannabis offense right now. ASA needs your help to ensure that the emerging change in federal policy signals an end to prosecutions and brings those already serving time for medical cannabis offenses home to their families.
ASA has provided recommendations for a new national medical cannabis policy to President Obama and the 111th Congress earlier this year. We are working overtime now to be sure those recommendations are heard in this new era of compassionate federal policy. Please support ASA in this effort.
Sincerely,
Don Duncan

"Two of my favorite things are sitting on my front porch smoking a pipe of sweet hemp, and playing my Hohner harmonica." - Abraham Lincoln (from a letter written by Lincoln during his presidency to the head of the Hohner Harmonica Company in Germany)
"Hemp is of first necessity to the wealth & protection of the country."
- Thomas Jefferson, U.S. President
"Make the most you can of the Indian Hemp seed and sow it everywhere."
- George Washington, U.S. President
"We shall, by and by, want a world of hemp more for our own consumption."
- John Adams, U.S. President
"Penalties against possession of a drug should not be more damaging to an individual than the use of the drug itself; and where they are, they should be changed. Nowhere is this more clear than in the laws against possession of marihuana in private for personal use... Therefore, I support legislation amending Federal law to eliminate all Federal criminal penalties for the possession of up to one ounce of marihuana." - Jimmy Carter, U.S. President
The extent of cannabis smoking during the Colonial era is still subject to debate. President George Washington wrote a letter that contained an oblique reference to what may have been hashish. "The artificial preparation of hemp, from Silesia, is really a curiosity." 38 Washington made specific written references to Indian hemp, or cannabis indica, and hoped to "have disseminated the seed to others. " 39 His August 7, 1765 diary entry, "began to separate the male from the female () plants," describes a harvesting technique favored to enhance the potency of smoking cannabis, among other reasons. 40 Hemp farmer Thomas Jefferson and paper maker Ben Franklin were ambassadors to France during the initial surge of the hashish vogue. Their celebrity status and progressive revolutionary image afforded them ample opportunities to try new experiences. Jefferson smuggled Chinese hemp seeds to America and is credited with the phrase in the Declaration of Independence, "Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness."
Did the Founding Fathers of the United States of America smoke cannabis? Some researchers think so. Dr. Burke, president of the American Historical Reference Society and a consultant for the Smithsonian Institute, counted seven early presidents as cannabis smokers: George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, James Monroe, Andrew Jackson, Zachary Taylor and Franklin Pierce. 41 "Early letters from our founding fathers refer to the pleasures of hemp smoking," said Burke. Pierce, Taylor and Jackson, all military men, smoked it with their troops. Cannabis was twice as popular among American soldiers in the Mexican War as in Vietnam: Pierce wrote to his family that it was "about the only good thing" about that war.
Central and Western African natives were farming and harvesting cannabis sativa in North America as slaves. If they did smoke on the plantations, that would be kept secret. 42 By the time of the Louisiana purchase in 1803, New Orleans had a mixed Spanish, French, Creole, Cajun, Mexican and Black population. The city teemed with adventurers and sailors, wise to the ways of cannabis. It was mixed with tobacco or smoked alone, used to season food 43, to treat insomnia and impotence, and so on.
Cannabis was mentioned as a medicinal agent in a formal American medical text as early as 1843. 44

How to make Cannabis Milk
This is copied from Marijuana Saves Lives
Lactose Free Cannabis Milk
Needed Ingredients
4 quarts goats milk ( If lactose is wanted...use Cows milk)
2 tbs goat milk butter (get European style goat milk butter since it has a higher fat content)
1 to 3 ounces trim or buds
anywhere from 1 oz of good sugar trim or buds to 3 oz. or more if you like it to be really potent...then also you can vary the strain for different effects. A strong sativa can make a great day time or morning....
Indica for pain or sleep and so on..
Note: If the Milk containers are plastic then save them to pour the milk back into them for storage in the fridge... A sealed container would be best for the milk for preservation.
The best method yet I have found is using a pressure cooker. put the ingredients listed above and place them into the pressure cooker and soak for 4 days in the refrigerator stirring everyday then placing it back into the fridge.... on the 4th day take the pressure cooker out of the fridge and place on the stove on low temp.
Make sure the dial is almost as low as the dial can turn.
Then let it warm up...... after it is warm almost hot start the 4 hour timer.
make sure it does not boil or even simmer for that matter...you do not want it to get to hot....The heat will degenerate the medicinal properties... I think I remember hearing cannabinoids degenerate after 200 degrees F ....but please do not quote me on that....
After 4 hours when the timer has gone off, strain out the milk and press out the milk from the material in the strainer. Pour milk into the container then let the milk cool then place into the fridge...
You're done... Very Strong Do Not Drive

Medical marijuana bill heads to Assembly floor
Today, MPP-sponsored legislation that would direct California's state and local law enforcement agencies not to assist in federal raids on medical marijuana patients and their caregivers made significant progress in the state legislature. In a 9-7 vote, the Committee on Appropriations approved A.B. 2743, sending it to the floor for a final vote of the entire state Assembly.
Please help us pass this important bill by e-mailing your state Assembly member today.
Taking action is easy. Just visit MPP's action page, enter your information, and send an e-mail to your legislator. If you are a patient or medical professional, please modify the message to include that information.
If approved, A.B. 2743 — authored by Assembly Member Lori Saldaña (D-San Diego) — will dramatically improve protections for California's medical marijuana patients and providers.
Most federal raids on California's medical marijuana facilities rely on significant help from local law enforcement agencies; in many cases, local agents have even asked federal agents to raid patients and providers. A.B. 2743 will create a policy of respecting the state's protections for medical marijuana patients and their providers.
Passage of this landmark bill will not be possible without your participation. Making contact with state policy-makers is one of the most effective ways to help change the laws.
Thank you for taking action to support our state's right to self-determination and safe access to medical marijuana for seriously ill and injured patients.
According to our records, you are not yet signed up for MPP’s California e-mail alerts. Please consider subscribing now so that you can keep abreast of the progress of this bill and our other efforts in California.

THC Kill's Cancer !!! Shrinks Tumors
Watch THC Kill Cancer in less than 20 hours
The major active component of the medicinal plant cannabis, Δ9-THC, has been shown in experiments with rats to have therapeutic potential against brain tumors. SETH Group scientists Garret Yount, Ph.D. and Sean McAllister, Ph.D. designed experiments in a time-lapse microscope to test whether Δ9-THC can stop the growth of human glioblastoma multiforma (GBM) brain cancer cells. Using the same tests that are used to judge new chemotherapies, the team discovered that the herbal compound kills human GBM cells at a concentration that is nontoxic to normal brain cells.

Are Humans CBD Defficaint?
I can’t help by think that all humans are Cannabinoids deficient, and this is what leads to sickness, cancers and tumors. Cannabinoids help regulate the immune system, and when they are not present, the body is not able to fight off the modern chemicals and toxins in our body. In an article on Treating Yourself magazine, it shows how Cannabinoids can help inhibit the bird flu. This is the reason why it is illegal; it is a medication better than anything on the market and can help almost all conditions.

Write to Congress !!!!!
Dear Freedom Grower
Thank you for contacting me in support of more sensible drug laws. I appreciate the time you took to share your thoughts, and I agree with you.
I agree that our current policy regarding non-violent drug offenders is not working. In addition to supporting states' rights to medical marijuana, I also believe that treatment, not incarceration, is the proper way to handle non-violent drug users. Incarceration for these recreational drug users is inefficient and ineffective. You may be interested to know that I have also consistently opposed mandatory minimum sentencing, which is often applied to non-violent drug offenders. Should any legislation come before the full House of Representatives for a vote, I will be sure to keep your views in mind.
Again, thanks for being in touch. If I may be of assistance to you or your family, please don't hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely
Zoe Lofgren
Member of Congress

Distractions in Society
*Lacking of Education.
*Lacking of acceptance of ideas and people, you’re individual FREEDOM, what our forefathers fought for.
*The widespread infatuation with Media, Sex, Drugs, Money, and Greed.
*Corporations are corrupting the government for profit, hoarding profits, and bringing down the lower and middle class standards. They are slowly driving our economy down and causing inflation on food and gas prices. They have also put our young citizens at risk in a war they know they can not win for the profits of defense and oil corporations. Some politicians wish for a North American Union and are trying to lower the middle and lower class standards for Americans to meet that of other counties.
The problem is people don’t care, are distracted, and uneducated. The media has been taken over by corporations, and is putting fear and pushing for more government control in our society. Our society has become to content.
The medical industry wants to make money off of dying people instead of curing them? Is this in the public’s interest? They use money donated to Research Company’s to push for more and new drugs for increased profit margins.The government stops real research like genetic and stem cell research, in the name of God and religion, but our forefathers made that definitely separated in our constitution.
Speak up for your rights, and free speech, do you really want to become slaves?
