Cannabis Chronicles

While we’re on the topic of the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor, we’d be remiss if we didn’t mention the annual Hash Bash. With a history stretching all the way back to 1972, it’s one of the longest running pro-marijuana demonstrations in North America.
Here’s coverage of this year’s event, as originally reported by [...]

Being a mom sure ain’t what it used to be.  Back in the day, Mrs Winslow’s Soothing Syrup for teething children contained a full grain of morphine per fluid ounce.
Nope, being a mom ain’t what it used to be at all!

Have a Happy Mother’s Day y’all!

We’d like to wish all the US readers who stop by to read our humble little blog a happy, healthy, and hearty Thanksgiving Holiday. Not everybody realizes that the US and Canada celebrate different dates for Thanksgiving, but in actuality, ours is already long past - it was the second Monday in October, which [...]

Here’s the latest we’ve found on the topic of weed in Wisconsin that can serve as an “update”, a recent story (October 07, 2007) on the ongoing battle for medical marijuana patients in Wisconsin.
There’s still no indication that Rep. “Princess” Leah Vukmir will allow the medical marijuana issue to even be heard before her committee, [...]

In an earlier entry here at the Cannabis Chronicles, we mentioned the “Walk for Weed” being held for the first time in Cornwall. The BLOG where we learned about the event did a follow up posting, which we’ll reproduce here for our readers . . .

Walk For Weed 2007 In Cornwall Ontario!
by drgonzo613 on October 17, 2007

Well, It’s that time. Time to walk for marijuana, and you know what! I’m damn proud, haha! The walk for weed has gotten way more publicity then I expected. Our local newspaper wrote about it, the [...]

A few days back, we posted a journal entry that included a criticism of the Marijuana Policy Project (prop for the status quo) that was penned by Fred Gardner, who edits a cannabis news journal for physicians. We’ve also tried to give equal time to the positives that groups like the MPP can contribute [...]

The Santa Cruz Sentinel reported on a successful event put on by the Wo/Men’s Alliance for Medical Marijuana this weekend. WAMM is a good group, and we’d like to wish them continued success in their efforts.

SANTA CRUZ — The smell of burning marijuana wafted through San [...]

The following article was originally found at Willamette Week Online. It’s a nice change of pace, the story of a festival that wasn’t impaired or obstructed by an oppressive police presence. That doesn’t mean nothing happened, and that there wasn’t at least some controversy, but hey, nothing’s perfect.

A few years back, Tweedy bird met some of her SSC friends at the Seattle Hempfest. We haven’t been getting out as much as we used to, our health not always being the best, so we can’t give a first hand report of the event this year. Fortunately, we’ve found an excellent accounting of [...]

In an earlier posting here at the 3LB’s Cannabis Chronicles, we commented about what was, at that time, the upcoming Hempfest to be held in the beautiful north-woods of Ontario. 
We’d love to report that the event went wonderfully, but Ontario Provincial Police made sure it was an unpleasant experience for many potential attendees.  Here’s how [...]
