Electric Tuesday: Renard – “Ganja Massive”
“Ganja Massive” by Renard is a pretty brutal, nonstopping-power-driver of a track that is mainly hyped up Drum N Bass, border-lining Ragga. When I asked Renard about his relationship with Cannabis he replied “LOL, I don’t do drugs, but I don’t have a problem with anyone doing them!”
NORML Responds to Religious Cannabis Users: Ending Prohibition Protects ALL of Us
No reasonable person wants to see Roger Christie being held in jail without bond pending trial on these non-violent marijuana charges. None of us want to see him imprisoned for his religious use of marijuana. This debate is about the current state of the law regarding the religious use of marijuana in this country and the best strategy to legalize the religious use of marijuana.

Marjas also pays homage to the mighty herb in this dubtastic cut, “Ganja.”

There is a context for every description of cannabis and its users and used correctly they can better express our views to a broader audience. Let us butcher ol’ Bill Shakespeare and remember: “What’s in a name? That which we call cannabis – By any other name would toke as sweet.”
