The ongoing steroid scandal that has enveloped most of Major League Baseball should be viewed thru the lens of the drug war, at least in our opinion. With that in mind, we’d like to present a piece of writing from the blogosphere, that presents a player’s perspective on the issue, from Red Sox’s All [...]

As we said in our prior journal entry, Wisconsin State Rep Leah Vukmir is a staunch opponent of Medical Marijuana, and despite her position as an elected official, she seems more than willing to ignore the will of the electorate on the medical MJ issue. Here’s an excerpt from earlier this year, an April [...]

As we round out today’s coverage of the medical cannabis community, we’d like to point our readers to an interesting blog that we just found.

At some point in everyone’s experience as a budding herbalist, there is the need to acquire effective medicinal strains. With most herbal medicines, finding a quality source of genetics is not a terribly daunting experience. But, because of the illicit nature of Cannabis, it’s perhaps not such an easy task.

Another blog of note, and the next addition to our blogroll, is The Web Log of Dr Tom O’Connell. It’s our understanding that Dr Tom is a physician and researcher who supports medical marijuana, and who has collected data in support of the compassionate use of medicinal cannabis. Dr Tom is also the [...]

The rules and “legalese” that are necessary to have a site discussing cannabis, and other healing herbs, are already posted here at the Cannabis Chronicles. They are located on a “stand-alone” page that’s not a part of the “body” of the journal itself, as a part of the welcome “tab” that’s found at the top [...]
