Can magic mushroom ease the pain of cancer patients suffering from depression?

Madonna’s son Rocco, 16 years old, has been arrested for pot possession in London, the London Sun reports.

The poor kid had been the subject of a
It’s coming down to the wire, and the anti-pot billionaires are dumping last-minute cash in a desperate attempt to stop marijuana legalization. The latest from Arizona: A cool half-million dollars from Sheldon Adelson, who owns casinos in Las Vegas and Macao—and a full million from Bruce Halle, who owns the Discount Tire chain. Adelson has already given $2 million to
Legalization is on the ballot in Massachusetts come Nov. 8, and the polls for reform look good. But money is pouring into the state—as it is in several other battlegrounds—and the anti-pot forces are heading for the gutter.

A new poll from the Pew Research Center shows highest support yet for marijuana legalization: Today, 57% of U.S. adults say the use of marijuana should be made legal, while 37% say it should be illegal. A decade ago, opinion on legalizing marijuana was nearly the reverse – just 32% favored legalization, while 60% were opposed. Millennials, of course, are
Prop 64, the legalization initiative in California, is ahead in the polls, but proponents aren’t taking chances, perhaps worried about a late-breaking blizzard of opposition ads. Here’s what is apparently their first TV ad, which is obviously directed at parents and those on the fence. There’s no actual marijuana use in the ad, just some facts designed to reassure skeptics.
A poll in Massachusetts just a bit over a month before Election Day shows statewide support for Question 4, the legalization bill.

Massachusetts is the fifteenth-largest state in the union. Legalization would bring another 6.8 million

With full legalization on the horizon in California, the largest state in the union, anti-pot forces are scraping the bottom of the bowl looking for angles. The latest: Stoned and even poisoned pets.
