Groovin' Thursday: The Beautiful Girls - Dont Wait

Groovin’ Thursday: The Beautiful Girls – Dont Wait

By John Doe: Groovin' Thursday Tunes on January 7, 2010

Technically ‘The Beautiful Girls’ genre of tunes is labeled as ‘roots music’, but as you listen to more of their jammin’ tracks you realize it gets harder and harder to pin the group into just one style of music. The almighty Wiki says this Australian group draws comparisons to Ben Harper and Jack Johnson, but we all know what that really means. Stoner vibes ARE included. The band has been around since 2000, and has released 3 full length albums and 5 other EP’s with a lot of their early music being done acoustically and is currently unavailable.

Weed Takes Root

Weed Takes Root

By MrSpof on January 7, 2010

Never has there been such a concerted thrust to legalize the drug nationwide — for medical purposes, for the plain old joy of getting stoned, and for a gold mine in profits to be reaped by those who control the multipronged industry. Together with a rapidly shifting public attitude toward pot and a White House willing to accept state medical-marijuana laws, legalization seems as inevitable today as it was unthinkable a generation ago. “We’re almost at a zeitgeist,” says one of the high-profile lobbyists who is making it happen, Allen St. Pierre, executive director of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML) in Washington, D.C.

Announcing the NORML Women's Alliance

Announcing the NORML Women’s Alliance

By Allen St. Pierre: Executive Director of NORML on January 7, 2010

The National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML), the nation’s oldest and most well respected grassroots marijuana law reform organization, today announced the launch of the NORML Women’s Alliance – a nonpartisan coalition of prominent, educated, successful, geographically diverse, high-profile professional women who believe that cannabis prohibition is a self-destructive and hypocritical policy that undermines the American family, sends a mixed and false message to our young people, and destroys the cherished principles of personal liberty and local self-government.

A look inside Oregon's first marijuana café

A look inside Oregon’s first marijuana café

By "Radical" Russ Belville: NORML Outreach Coordinator on January 6, 2010

The Cannabis Cafe opened on Nov. 13 at 4:20 p.m., Oregon’s first marijuana cafe. People must register with the Oregon Medical Marijuana Program with a doctor’s approval in order to receive a medical marijuana card, and they must also be members of the Oregon chapter of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws, or NORML, to get into the cafe. No marijuana is sold at the establishment. Various certified growers donate marijuana to the cafe. Patients can also bring in their own medicine. The cafe does not serve alcohol and serves a wide variety of soups, salads, burgers and paninis.

SW Indiana NORML adopts a road to spread the word

SW Indiana NORML adopts a road to spread the word

By "Radical" Russ Belville: NORML Outreach Coordinator on January 6, 2010

SW Indiana joins chapters in Oregon, Oklahoma, Missouri, and other states (let me know who I’m forgetting!) in not only putting out the word about NORML, but also for integrating into the mainstream community and showing we have concerns other than just legalizing pot. Always strive to be the kind of model citizen that forces people to like a pothead.
