Part of the xCannabis story started when my dad got cancer, which was abouot the same time that I was already putting xCannabis together. In fact xCannabis was only about 4 months old.

After making 4 separate trips from Tacoma to Provo Ut to see my dad either in the hospital or recovering from the hospital. And I had gone down several times before he was diagnosed with cancer for when he started working on getting a lung trasnplant, and it had taken him almost a year to get on the list.

So this is about the third VLOG that I had made about cannabis for cancer.

I miss my dad, and wish his death would have been less painful and scary.

This is one of the things that fuels my hunger for change. This is one of the things that gives me the strength to do without my medicine so that I can be used to bring awareness to this issue (and not lose everything while Im at it).

Now that I am in a non-medical marijuana state, my cannabis consumption is rare. I will usually be able to releave my headaches, but not so much my daily stress. In WA this was a different situation, but that is why I quit so that I can work on making idaho recognize medical marijuana, tax it, and regulated it so that it is for adult consumption only. In an un-regulated market, kids can get illegal substances more easily, because pushers have more incentive to go to the playgrounds and peddle their wares. Im not saying that happens regularly, because I don’t know. I am just imagining that like the 1920′s and 1930′s, gangs and alcohol consumption was more prolific than before it was prohibited. When prohibition ended, gangs fell apart and consumption went down.

Tax day is Wednesday, I hope to see you at your local post office. I will post a story about my experience when Im done. Peace!

Barry Cooper takes on Austin’s police Chief

I found this on The Stash today!

I love what Barry & team are doing! I also love that ALL of us can do this!

I made a video about his original KopBusters setup, and I pointed out that the equipment that Barry is using, is something that all of us can buy and setup for less than $500.

Rent a location. Setup some xmas trees and some grow lights.. And when the cops show up after using illegal surveillance means, you get them on video raiding a legal, indoor garden.

Ref: “
SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES
KYLLO v. UNITED STATES
CERTIORARI TO THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT
No. 99—8508. Argued February 20, 2001–Decided June 11, 2001″

l-gardenlight-400mh If people started doing this on a massive scale, the already failed drug war would get much more expensive for prohibition agencies to operate. Plus with a wonderful indoor garden, you will enjoy the richness and tastiness of hydroponicly grown fruits and vegetagbles.

You may get busted for simple possession if you smoke herb. But once you make total assess out of the police for violating your 4th Amendment rights, the judge is likely to drop the marijuana charge, at risk of creating a huge media incident out of it.

A marijuana charge in most states is a misdemeanor. Make sure you have money set aside for bail money if you do smoke and you plan on setting up one of this kopbuster type stings!

But especially for those of you who support legalization, and who don’t smoke. PLEASE start your own indoor gardens. Grow your own food all year long, and support the cause too!!

With that in mind, support your local hydroponics shop! (and as a side note, remember to use cash for your prohibition purchases)

Rock on Barry!! I hope you win in 2010!!

Visit KopBusters.com and support Barry everyone!

Our illegal birth! Welcome baby Jennie!

March 31st, 2009 | By Reverend

I wanted to take this moment to welcome my 2nd child into the world.

http://tinyurl.com/tiny-toes

And BTW, this birth was assisted not by the corporate medical complex, but by a wonderful midwife (a practice which in about 1/2 of the US, is illegal). This midwife makes house calls. Checks up on us with concern and support regularly.
Our second baby was a complicated pregnancy, in that she was VBAC. Most hospitals do not know what to do with this, so they (meaning most for-profit hospitals) will immediately insist on c-section.
We started in at University of Washington, and ended up going to a midwife at the last minute. We are so glad we did.

Baby Jennie was almost 9lbs! No drugs (not even asprin). No problems! My wife Kimi is amazing! xCanna Baby

I am AMAZED that midwifery is illegal is so many places! This profession is thousands and thousands of years old, and is most statistics are safer than going directly to a hospital.
Now there are rare instances where a mother has to be taken to the hospital for emergency c-section. But a good midwife knows the signs, and monitors the baby and the momma often, and get the mom to the hospital with plenty of time. Some women die. Some babies die. But no more than die at a hospital situation.

MIDWIVES ROCK! WE LOVE YOU AGAPE BIRTH SERVICES!!!

These gals just passed a midwifery bill in Idaho!!! Congrats!!

Ref: http://www.oregonlive.com/news/index.ssf/2009/03/house_passes_idaho_midwife_lic.html

“The midwives, however, feared G?d; so they did not do as the king of Egypt had spoken to them, but they enabled the boys to live.” (Exodus 1:17)

Philly Chapter Report for 3/19/09

March 22nd, 2009 | By slash

Philly Chapter Report

This was a regular meeting on the schedule. Things here in Philly are ramping up..big time. Our local State Rep. Mark Cohen will introduce a MMJ bill this month!

I have a meeting planned at my house with other patients to get some testimony in writing and mailed to him immediately. I hope we can get some quality time in front of a committee. Live in person pleas and appeals are the tipping point in many legislators opinion when it comes to this issue.

In other happenings..

The permit for the GCM went in this week. We need a permit to have the march. Time must be spent finding sponsors from local business. Posters must be printed, distributed to volunteers, and hung around town. There is still no place for an after party, yet, but this is Norml. A place has always been found. This was a small meeting of the hard cores to hash out the time line for the next couple weeks between meetings. Events always out pace the ability to keep up it seems. Every one stays connected through the e-mail list.

The last topic discussed was about an info seminar on Saturday the 21st over the Ben Franklin Bridge in Collingswood, NJ. Open to the public, testimony from patients was really good.

The one man had to have an electronic stimulator and take 1/2 doz. pills or more plus cannabis just to function. His story is typical…. sickness, fustration, lack of understanding, and the illegality of his NEEDED medicine.

Chris Goldstien had a spectacular presentation once again. I have seen it before but it never gets old or boring.

Ken Wolski was there. Ken was instrumental with the NJ law. If not for Ken, Chris, a few others, and those no longer with us who worked over a TEN YEAR PERIOD, this would not have happened here in Jersey.

I have to say that I felt some twinges of reefer madness…during the Q&A a person asked about how does someone go all year using only an outside grow to supply their needs when the limits of the law seem low. To grow enough outside for a whole years supply one would have to break the law.

Here’s the madness…

When commenting suggested indoor growing this person says with absolute vehemence I won’t do that, that causes fires and I’ll burn my house down. (basically..don’t quote me there) This person, I felt, had some kind of fear about indoor grow. But how do these opinions and feelings get this way? Main stream media reefer madness is what this person thinks is reality I guess. Have an electrician set you up with an LED system. These cost effective, inexpensive to operate, long lasting, and easy on the electric bill systems are the way to go. NJ will have compassion care centers so even if you can’t or won’t grow you’ll never be with out.

The guy probly doesn’t grow, has no experience at growing, and has never seen a quality LED low wattage cool running system. His attitude was shocking to me. I hope these fears people have will finally go away as we collectively become more educated as a population towards MMJ and the needs of the MMJ patient. This meeting was at the local library and the room was full but not quite packed. Rumor Had Rep. Cohen coming, but that was a no show… but it was rumor.

The next meeting is 4/2/09 at the ‘A-Space’

People need to get off their duff and DO SOMETHING!!

No one is gonna do it for ya!!!

Saying of the day….

”If I could get someone to do as much as nobody…. weed B kicking ass”

Until next time

Slash…… Peace out
