Comedian Bill Maher brought his brand of humor to the Green Music Center Saturday night, keeping the mostly loose crowd roaring with his outspoken cultural commentary. The host of HBO's "Real Time with Bill Maher" touched on all of his usual topics such as religion, healthcare, sex and education. But there is one subject that never fails to dominate Maher's dialogue: Republicans. "They [Republicans] believe life starts at erection," Maher said, bashing their views on abortion.

Another reason to permit sick citizens to use cannabis (marijuana) that doesn't get mentioned (Medicinal Marijuana Cards Let Public Smoke Legally, April 27, 2010) is because it is Biblically correct since Christ God Our Father, The Ecologician, indicates He created all the seed-bearing plants, saying they are all good, on literally the very first page (Genesis 1:11-12 and 29-30). The only Biblical restriction placed on cannabis is that it is to be accepted with thankfulness (see 1 Timothy 4:1-5). And "But whoever has the world's goods, and sees his brother in need and closes his heart against him, how does the love of God abide in him?" (see 1 John 3:17). Further, many people know of cannabis as the tree of life and the very last page of the Bible indicates the leaves of the tree of life are for the healing of the nations. Jesus Christ risked jail to heal the sick. ~ Stan White [end]

Medical Marijuana Laws Must Be Changed Federally to Have Any Impact California Attorney General Jerry Brown's new attempt to settle the nerves of medical marijuana dispensers and patients is a weak attempt to make proposition 215 stronger. Attorney General Brown has introduced an eleven-page directive aimed at clearing up some issues between state and federal governments. He believes his new guidelines will minimize legal worries and ease patient worries. In 1996 when proposition 215 was passed by an overwhelming vote, medical marijuana dispensaries started popping up like Trader Joes all over the state. People started getting prescriptions for their "back pain" and everyone was happy. [continues 399 words]
