<title>The Marijuana Explosion</title>
<description><![CDATA[<i>The number of Americans who use marijuana continues to increase annually. Never has it been clearer that the failed and destructive War on Pot must come to an immediate end. </i>
&#160;
<b>By Jon Gettman</b>
&#160;
Marijuana is as popular in the US as it&rsquo;s ever been. A look back over the last 25 years places the War on Pot in perspective: It really hasn&rsquo;t changed a thing. Marijuana is still widely used, and efforts to enforce its prohibition are a wasteful, ineffective drain &hellip;<a href="http://hightimes.com/legal/jgettman/7686">More</a>]]></description>

<title>Willie For Weed in Oregon</title>
<description><![CDATA[To the surprise of absolutely no one country crooner Willie Nelson has appeared in a video endorsing the Oregon Cannabis Tax Act 2012 (OCTA 2012).&#160;
&#160;
In a casual production, Nelson can be seen reading from a prepared script in which he urges voters to pass OCTA 2012 to regulate cannabis and restore industrial hemp.

<title>Appellate Court: Voters Can Decide on Detroit Decrim</title>
<description><![CDATA[The city of Detroit will finally be able to vote on a suppressed 2010 ballot proposal that would amend city law and permit the legal use and possession of up to an ounce of cannabis on private property by those age 21 and up.&#160;
&#160;
Previously, a Wayne County Circuit Court judge had upheld the Detroit Election Commission&rsquo;s unanimous vote against placing the 2010 question on the ballot because they were advised by the city's Law Dept that decriminalizing pot conflicted with state &hellip;<a href="http://hightimes.com/news/mmiller/7530">More</a>]]></description>

</b>
&#160;
It&rsquo;s the end of the year, when the media focuses on recalling all the great and important developments of the past 12 months. It&rsquo;s also the time when public interest groups cast about for end-of-year donations, usually by touting their accomplishments. When it comes to the movement to legalize marijuana it&rsquo;s all about what great progress has been made and how all the activists, interest groups, and leaders have had a real impact on events. &hellip;<a href="http://hightimes.com/legal/jgettman/7447">More</a>]]></description>

<title>Polls in Colorado and Massachusetts Support Pot Legalization</title>
<description><![CDATA[Two of the most progressive U.S. states when it comes to cannabis legalization offered further validation of that status based on a pair of polls just released this past week. The polls indicate a plurality of residents in Colorado and an impressive majority of respondents in Massachusetts support pot legalization.

<title>New Poll: Legal Pot Supported By Majority of Jersey Residents</title>
<description><![CDATA[Contrary to mass media portrayals of New Jersey residents as either shallow drunkards (like MTV&rsquo;s <i>Jersey Shore</i> crew) or violent thugs (as found on <i>The Sopranos</i>), Garden Staters are far more sophisticated and progressive than many suspect. This was most recently reflected in a survey released Wednesday finding majority support across New Jersey for marijuana decriminalization and legalization for purposes both medicinal and recreational.

<title>NYPD Must Stop Improper Marijuana Arrests</title>
<description><![CDATA[The NYPD has long had a reputation for overzealously pursuing marijuana arrests &ndash; particularly if the possessor of said marijuana happens to be young and black or Latino. NYC arrests more people for marijuana possession than any other city in the world and 90 percent of those arrested are black or Latino.

<b>Former New Mexico governor turned marijuana advocate Gary Johnson speaks to HIGH TIMES.</b>

It&rsquo;s safe to say that the vast majority of politicians don&rsquo;t support the legalization of marijuana; it&rsquo;s an even safer bet that most Republicans eyeing their party&rsquo;s nomination in 2012 wouldn&rsquo;t be caught dead at a pot rally, let alone at the offices of HIGH TIMES.

<title>Canadian Chill</title>
<description><![CDATA[A decade ago, Canadians were a lot happier: Their government seemed to be on the brink of decriminalizing marijuana, and it was also instituting a nationwide program to meet the needs of med-pot patients. But that progress has become mired in bureaucracy and political grandstanding.
