Colorado lowers medical marijuana patient fee to $15
The change is mainly due to the fact the registry’s state fund has made more than enough money to cover administrative costs, said Mark Salley, spokesman for the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment.
In fact, there is an excess of $13 million.

Alaska Hemp gives a tip of the hat to
Some of what they had to say recently…

Vape me baby!
OK, you all know I’m a fairly heavy marijuana smoker, some might not know I am also a tobacco smoker, pack a day for 40+ years. Yea, I know people that smoke tobacco AND marijuana are more likely to get COPD, and that’s why I have tried to stop lots of times, the Patch, Nicorette Gum, cold turkey, veggie spears, nail biting, sucking brass…well, welcome to the next phase…Vapeaway.
I bought the iTaste Leo kit, it comes with two battery pens and 5 refillable oil cartridges, a wall/USB charger and a booklet. For less than the cost of one carton of cigarettes. I estimate that with two people smoking in our home we will make back the cost of the unit in under 4 days.
I got some 16% nicotine Coffee Bean flavor oil to put in the iTaste and so far it has drastically cut down my cigarette use in just 24 hours. I should mention that when I bought the iTaste Leo I did not buy any “Juice” to put i it, thinking I would try the “Breathe” essential oil I already had on hand.
DO NOT USE ANY ESSENTIAL OIL WITH CITRUS!
The t
ips plastic cracked and the tip fell apart in under 5 minutes.
Now, about subverting the iTaste Leo to use with alternative oils…RSO*…if you don’t know what that is you should. I’ll make another post about it.
Stay tuned, stay high, stay healthy, stay free.

Let’s Focus On Industrial Hemp
Norris McDonald and Roy Patrick, Contributors
Industrial hemp is a ‘legal weed’ with annual sales in the United States (US) averaging about US$500 million dollars. This is expected to rise because of the push to decriminalize all forms of marijuana (cannabis sativa) especially its non-toxic cousin, the hemp plant. Ganja is merely one of 500 varieties of this hemp plant and there is no reason Jamaica can’t begin a pilot study in industrial hemp production.
Industrial hemp is in the spotlight as many countries race to boost production. Governor Jerry Brown, of California, recently signed a law legalizing industrial hemp production. America is a large consumer of industrial hemp products but, at present, most of it is bought from overseas.
Canada is the biggest supplier of industrial hemp to America, and it may well be possible for Jamaica to become a big exporter to the US and other markets. The US (Hawaii), Canada, Great Britain, Russia, Germany, China, Japan, France are among the roughly 27 countries worldwide which grow industrial Hemp. Unlike ganja, it has lower levels of drug toxicity, hence its risk for being abused is considerably less.

Alaska’s THC Medical Clinic
OK, I’m going to try and timeline this before it gets to far out and I’m too stoned…
Mike Smith
by Lido Vizzutti-Flathead Beacon
Around 6 O’too fucking early AM the other day Mike Smith calls and wakes my wife up and then she wakes me up and he starts demanding to know if I am the owner of AlaskaHemp.com, which evidently he was smart enough to run a whois: on Google and find out I was the registered owner, and then demands to know if I own it or just manage it and I ask him who he is because I just don’t like his attitude and he says “You are impeding an official investigation by refusing to cooperate” and makes some threats about my being arrested and that I don’t know who I’m talking to “OK, that’s it, your refusing to cooperate, the State Police are on their way.” (First clue that this person is not a local, eh?)
Thinking this to be some redneck short on brains and bereft of testicles that has a hard on about hippies smoking pot I hang up and go back to bed. he calls again. He makes some more threats about my failure to cooperate and says something about “sending kids to school with Pot in their lunches” and now the asshole is just really pissing me off but I know how to locate him, he has posted to Facebook, I hang up again and turn on the computer.
Alaska Hemp
Yep, there he is, seems him and another guy that I have never met (but know through Facebook) have been having a pissing match. and now he has made me a part of it and I’m not as pissed off about that as I am about being woken up at 6 AM and yelled at and then calling back after I hang up on him the first time! So I now know that it was Mike Smith, owner of the THC medical Clinic in Anchorage calling me. I do a search and find an article in the Anchorage Daily News and see the name of the Dr that issues the medical marijuana prescriptions. I already knew he was an LA Dr they brought up but had never bothered to look into him.
Bingo

OK, this is getting ripe, it seems that Mike Smith of THC Medical Clinic is one of those that can’t stand to have anyone say anything about them, even if is, or especially if it is true. This post will be growing as the drama unfolds and should serve his oft drawn and no doubt soon to be aimed and fired “attorney” Lance Wells, who I am sure is as fine and honest and attorney as there ever was a fine and honest attorney) with a full disclosure should this ever come before a jury.

Alaska Medical MarijuanaWhy do I you need a medical card in Alaska? -
THC Medical ClinicTo legally grow, transport, use or share medical marijuana with another person in Alaska you must have an Alaska issued medical marijuana card. Contrary to popular belief in Alaska, it is NOT legal to grow in the privacy of one’s home. There is no law allowing that. What you have is the idea of privacy through the Constitution in Alaska. Most people don’t know that keeping a structure or dwelling for the manufacturing, distribution or possession of marijuana is a felony. Ravin v Alaska will not protect you from that felony charge. So if you get a medical marijuana card, you are legally protected.October 1 at 1:07pm · -
Alaska Medical Marijuanayou can not give or share your medical marijuana with anyone, there is no way to obtain marijuana LEGALLY to start growing medical in Alaska, what don’t you understand about that?October 2 at 5:50pm

THC Medical ClinicAs a patient or caregiver you order seeds from Europe. It’s legal I do it all the time, just like when I fly I show my medical marijuana card and there is no problem. The card makes you 100% legal NOT just the affirmative defense as you speak of, which can only be used AT TRIAL AFTER YOU HAVE BEEN ARRESTED! Think of it as if we cardholders are all in a special club and as long as we follow our individual state laws, whatever they may be, we are free from any arrest or prosecution.October 2 at 6:46pm ·

Alaska Hemp Dear fellow Hempsters, if you are a medicinal or casual smoker and growing a few plants for your own medical or recreational needs there are reasons why you should NOT get a medical marijuana card. It will reduce the quantity of plants you can grow and reduce the volume of processed marijuana you can have in your home. it will literally open the door to authorities to visit your home to inspect for compliance with the law based on your being a licensed medical marijuana grower, why invite them in? Consider some of these things before you run down and give them hundreds of dollars for a card that will quite possibly just make your life less enjoyable. The THC medical Clinic has been saying that once you have their card you can order seeds through the mail. THIS is FALSE to the best of my understanding and you will be violating both Federal Drug Laws and USPS Regulations, and they WILL go Postal on you. Be aware, be informed, be safe. -
Stoney Burke It has come to our attention that a person representing the THC Medical Clinic has been making harassing and threatening telephone calls in addition to leading people to believe that if they just get a card from them then they can legally order marijuana seeds. There seems to be a strong possibility that this outfit might be a DEA operation collecting information on Alaskan growers to facilitate a sweeping marijuana bust by the DEA, remember, pot growing and use is still a Federal Crime and the DEA Task Force can and will knock down your door and drag you away if they know you are growing, so don’t tell them you are by getting a State Medical marijuana Card! -

So I get on my Google Voice account and call TMC Medical Clinic (just so he will see the call coming from Arizona and screw with his head) to see who answers. it’s Mike! Seems he can’t afford to hire a person to answer the phones at his clinic.
“Hi Mike?”
“Who is this”
“It’s Bill, How ya like me now?”
“YOU %$#@*&, I don’t CARE if my Dr can’t work in Arizona, THIS IS ALASKA”
“well, Mike, I have asked the DHSS to look into your Doctors credentials in regards to his having been found “unsafe” in another state and they have agreed to so.”
“I’m glad you called, now i have your Arizona number!” the phone changes sounds, like he switches to speaker phone “This is the Arizona State Patrol” (sounds a lot like Mike Smith on speaker phone) “we are recording this con..” click. he hangs up, or the Arizona state patrol hang up, I’m not sure.
I see he has a posting in the comments on another website and offer the following:
@thcmc420 Is this not your own Dr?

That simple question and posting a publicly available website link seemed to make him think that I was somehow a threat to him…
“BILL FIKES You have been reported to Alaska state trooper Anderson incident. # ak-13076263
You have been notified to quite HARRASING us and our staff and our doctors. All postings are going directly to our attorney Lance Wells. We are filing a temporary restraining order Monday in anchorage. Due to your threats and being mentally deficient we will ask that your guns be removed from your possession.

I call the Alaska State Troopers. I report Mike has impersonated a Law Officer on at least three occasions and that he has called my home several times in a harassing manner. I tell Trooper Anderson of MatSu West Alaska State Troopers who he is and he tells me he has talked with Mike Smith of THC Medical Clinic and has advised him to not call me any more and has advised me that should the harassing phone calls from Mike Smith continue that he will be taking action and advised me “keep up the good fight.” I will do so.
Yea, I’m scared now. No, really, this guy is off the end of the scale, I’m scared. He has at least a quarter million dollars he has “earned” off Alaskans and others and can afford a tank of gas to come out to Wasilla and find me (if he can read a Google Map) and has demonstrated a seemingly fanatical demeanor.
Tuesday, 5:30 AM: Wow, Mike Smith of THC Medical Clinic just called me and said
“I’m going to cut your fucking head off!”
He then called back 3 more times and the last time said
“Fuck you you fucking asshole, I’m coming for you!”
It seems some people should have their coffee before they turn on their computer.
He called back AGAIN while I was on the Alaska State Trooper Dispatch on my cell phone so now they have a nice recording of Mike Smith of THC Medical Clinic as well. I am waiting for Alaska State Trooper Anderson to call me back right now.
As luck would have it it turns out that Mike’s favorite Dr has been told he can no longer practice medicine in California as well as Arizona, can Alaska be far behind?
UPDATE 6/24/2016
This just in from Lori Brandt
“Well, I just had a major run in with Michael Smith.. Everything you said about him is true. I was purchasing his company trying to help patients in Alaska. He took my $$, and then didn’t follow through with our contract. I reported him to the FBI and the anchorage police on theft and and embezzling. I’m not any part of the healing center!”
THC Medical Clinic is poison, it is run by a lunatic with psychopathic tendencies. (My words, not Lori’s, Sue me Mike Smith!)

Over the Counter Brain Damage: Common ‘Medicines’ that Cause Long Term Cognitive Impairment
Drugs commonly taken for a variety of common medical conditions negatively affect your brain, causing long term cognitive impairment. These drugs, called anticholinergics, block acetylcholine, a nervous system neurotransmitter.
They include such common over-the-counter brands as Benadryl, Dramamine, Excedrin PM, Nytol, Sominex, Tylenol PM, and Unisom.
Other anticholinergic drugs, such as Paxil, Detrol, Demerol and Elavil are available only by prescription.
Physorg reports:
“Researchers … conducted a six-year observational study, evaluating 1,652 Indianapolis area African-Americans over the age of 70 who had normal cognitive function when the study began … ‘[T]aking one anticholinergic significantly increased an individual’s risk of developing mild cognitive impairment and taking two of these drugs doubled this risk.’”
From Dr. Mercola:
Many view over-the-counter (OTC) drugs as safe because they don’t require a prescription. Well nothing could be further from the truth.
In fact, many OTC drugs were previously carefully monitored prescription drugs. Many people are not aware that while I was in college in the 1970s, I worked as a full time pharmacy apprentice and helped sell drugs to patients all day long.
Motrin was the first non-salicylate prescription NSAID. Now it is a popular OTC ibuprofen option. Similarly, anti-ulcer drugs like Tagamet, Zantec, and Prilosec used to be carefully controlled. Now they can all be easily purchased in a smaller “OTC strength” that nearly doubles the number of pills required to equal the prescription dose.
Just because a drug is available without a prescription does not make it any less dangerous. It is still a chemical, which in no way, shape, or form treats the cause of the problem and can lead to complications that can seriously injure, if not kill, you or someone you love.

Marijuana : Latest News
The history of marijuana in the last century has been a slow process toward social acceptance.
In the 1936 movie “Reefer Madness,” marijuana smokers were portrayed morally-depraved pot fiends .
In the 1950s, marijuana was considered to be not just a dangerous drug, but a stepping stone to the use of heroin or even more dangerous controlled substances.
In 1979, 27 percent of Americans favored legalization, according to a CBS News/New York Times poll at the time.
Gradually, but consistently, social acceptance of marijuana continued to climb. By the 1980s, over 80 percent of high school students said they had easy access to marijuana. By 1988, no less an authority than the Drug Enforcement Administration’s administrative law judge, Francis Young, concluded that “marijuana may well be the safest psychoactive substance commonly used in human history.”
A 2009 CBS News poll found that more Americans now support legalization. Forty-one percent said they think marijuana should be made legal and 52 percent are opposed. That’s even more than in a CBS News poll in March when 31 percent said they were in favor of legalization in all cases with another seven percent saying they would favor legalization if marijuana were taxed and the money went to projects.
Today the potent smell of marijuana legalization is in the air.
